RF Microneedling
in West Palm Beach, FL
Elysian Aesthetic and Wellness offers RF microneedling for patients who want smoother, firmer skin without surgery. The treatment pairs fine needles with radiofrequency energy to work beneath the surface, where collagen and elastin are produced. Each plan is shaped around your skin type, concerns, and goals. Explore the sections below to see how the process works and what to expect from start to finish.
What Is RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy. Insulated or semi-insulated needles create controlled micro channels in the skin while delivering heat to the deeper dermal layers. This controlled thermal response prompts the body’s natural wound healing process, which stimulates new collagen and elastin. Because the energy is released below the surface, the outer layer of skin is largely preserved.
Before & Afters
How the Technology Works
The device allows the provider to adjust needle depth and energy level for each area of the face or body. Thinner skin, such as around the eyes, can be treated with shallower settings, while areas like the cheeks or jawline may be treated more deeply. Most plans involve a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart to allow collagen remodeling between visits. RF microneedling is commonly used on the face, neck, chest, and select body areas.
Preparing for Your First Session
Your journey begins with a consultation to review your skin concerns, health history, and aesthetic goals. Your provider will examine your skin and explain how RF microneedling may fit into a broader plan that could include Skincare, Chemical Peels, or Facials. You will receive personalized guidance on adjusting your current skincare routine and limiting sun exposure before treatment. Following these instructions helps your skin respond well to each session.
What Happens on Treatment Day
- Cleansing and Numbing the Skin
The treatment area is cleansed thoroughly to remove makeup, oil, and debris. A topical numbing cream is then applied and left on for a period of time to improve comfort. Once the skin is ready, the numbing cream is removed and the area is prepped for treatment.
- Customizing Depth and Energy
Before starting, your provider sets the needle depth and radiofrequency level for each zone being treated. These settings are tailored to your skin thickness and the concerns you want to address. Adjustments may be made throughout the session as the device moves across different areas.
- Delivering the Treatment Passes
The handpiece is guided across the skin in a methodical pattern, with each pass delivering microneedles and radiofrequency energy at the same time. Many patients describe the sensation as warmth with light pressure. Depending on the size of the area, the active treatment portion typically takes about 20 to 45 minutes.
- Optional Pairing With PRP or Exosomes
Some treatment plans include PRP and PRF Therapy or Exosome Therapy applied to the skin right after the needling passes. The fresh micro channels allow these regenerative solutions to reach deeper layers of the skin. Your provider will let you know whether this pairing suits your goals.

Recovery and Aftercare
- The First 24 Hours
Your skin will feel warm and sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn, so keep the area clean and avoid touching it unnecessarily. Use only the gentle products recommended by your provider. Skip makeup during this initial window to let the micro channels close.
- Caring for Your Skin at Home
Over the next several days, a gentle cleanser and a hydrating moisturizer support the healing process. Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, and scrubs until your provider clears you to resume them. Staying well hydrated also helps your skin recover comfortably.
- Protecting Skin From the Sun
Freshly treated skin is more sensitive to ultraviolet light, which is especially important in the strong Florida sun. Apply a broad spectrum mineral sunscreen daily and wear a wide brimmed hat when outdoors. Consistent sun protection helps preserve your results over time.
- Returning to Normal Activities
Most people return to work and daily routines within a day or two. Strenuous workouts, saunas, and swimming are usually paused for a couple of days to allow the skin to settle. Your provider will give you a personalized timeline based on your treatment settings.
When Results Begin to Show
Many patients notice a fresher look within the first week as the skin renews itself. Collagen remodeling continues for several months, so firmness and texture tend to improve gradually over three to six months. A typical series of three to four sessions builds on these changes, and periodic maintenance visits can help sustain them.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
-
Adults with concerns such as fine lines, enlarged pores, acne scars, or mild skin laxity.
-
People in good overall health without active skin infections in the treatment area.
-
Patients with a range of skin tones who want a treatment that preserves the outer skin layer.
-
Those who prefer a nonsurgical option and can commit to a series of sessions.
Benefits You Can Expect
RF microneedling can visibly smooth skin texture, refine pore size, and soften the appearance of acne scars and fine lines. The radiofrequency energy encourages tighter, firmer skin by stimulating collagen in the deeper dermis. Because results come from your own collagen production, improvements look natural and develop progressively. Downtime is typically brief compared with more aggressive resurfacing approaches.

Common Questions Answered
How many RF Microneedling sessions will I need?
Most patients benefit from a series of three to four sessions spaced about four to six weeks apart. The exact number depends on your skin concerns and goals. Your provider will recommend a schedule that fits your plan.
Does RF Microneedling hurt?
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to keep you comfortable. Most patients describe the feeling as warmth and light pressure. Settings can be adjusted during the session to support your comfort.
How is RF Microneedling different from traditional microneedling?
Traditional Microneedling uses needles alone to create micro channels that stimulate collagen. RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy delivered through the needles, which heats deeper layers of skin. This added energy supports greater tightening and remodeling.
Can RF Microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes, it is often paired with PRP and PRF Therapy, Exosome Therapy, or a tailored Skincare routine. Some patients also include Dermal Fillers or Neurotoxins in their overall Facial Rejuvenation plan. Your provider will help you decide on timing and order.
How long do RF Microneedling results last?
Once your treatment series is complete, results can last a year or longer. Natural aging continues, so many patients schedule maintenance sessions once or twice a year. Daily sun protection and consistent skincare help extend your results.
