RF Microneedling

Advanced Skin Tightening & Deep Collagen Remodeling

RF Microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate deep collagen production, improve skin laxity, and restore firmness and elasticity.

At Bare Skin & Wax, we use Rohrer® RF Microneedling with 4 MHz technology, allowing precise energy delivery at controlled depths for more effective collagen remodeling and long-lasting skin tightening results.

How RF Microneedling Works

RF Microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy into the deeper dermal layers.

The combination of mechanical stimulation and thermal energy triggers a powerful healing response that promotes:

  •     collagen contraction
  •     new collagen and elastin formation
  •     improved skin structure and firmness

Unlike traditional microneedling, RF energy targets deeper tissue levels, making this treatment especially effective for skin laxity and textural concerns.

Skin Concerns Treated

  •     Skin laxity and loss of firmness
  •     Crepey or thinning skin
  •     Fine lines and wrinkles
  •     Acne scars
  •     Enlarged pores
  •     Uneven texture
  •     Early to moderate aging changes

Results develop gradually as collagen remodels, with continued improvement over several months.

What Makes Rohrer® RF Microneedling Different

Rohrer® RF Microneedling operates at 4 megahertz (MHz) — a higher frequency that allows for:

  •     more precise energy delivery
  •     controlled depth targeting
  •     improved safety across skin types
  •     consistent collagen stimulation

This technology allows us to customize treatments based on skin thickness, concern, and treatment area for optimal outcomes.

Personalized Treatment Enhancements

RF Microneedling may be combined with advanced regenerative and recovery options when appropriate, including:

  •     PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
  •     Growth-factor or PDGF-based serums
  •     Medical-grade skincare protocols
  •     Customized post-treatment recovery plans

Your provider will determine the safest and most effective combination for your skin.


SkinPen® vs RF Microneedling

Understanding the Difference

While both treatments stimulate collagen, they serve different purposes and work at different depths.

SkinPen® Microneedling

Best for skin quality & texture

  •     Targets superficial to mid-dermal layers
  •     Improves texture, tone, pores, and acne scars
  •     Enhances product absorption
  •     Minimal downtime
  •     Ideal for preventative aging and skin maintenance

Common goals:
Glow, smoother texture, pore refinement, overall skin quality

RF Microneedling (Rohrer® 4 MHz)

Best for skin tightening & structural collagen

  •     Delivers radiofrequency energy into deeper dermal layers
  •     Promotes collagen contraction and remodeling
  •     Improves laxity, firmness, and crepey skin
  •     Longer-lasting tightening results
  •     Ideal for moderate aging changes

Common goals:
Firmness, tightening, improved elasticity, deeper acne scarring

Which Treatment Is Right for Me?

That depends on your skin’s current needs.

Some clients begin with SkinPen® to improve skin quality and progress to RF Microneedling as laxity develops. Others benefit from alternating treatments as part of a long-term collagen stimulation plan.

Your provider will guide you toward the most appropriate treatment — or combination — based on your anatomy, skin condition, and goals.

RF Microneedling for All Skin Tones

When performed correctly, RF Microneedling is considered safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types. Treatment settings and aftercare are carefully customized to minimize pigment risk and support proper healing.

Aftercare & Results Maintenance

Following treatment, you will receive detailed post-care instructions, including:

  •     gentle skincare only for several days
  •     avoidance of active ingredients until cleared
  •     daily sun protection
  •     customized home skincare recommendations

Proper aftercare is essential to achieving optimal results.
