Surgery and more invasive non-surgical treatments used to be the only way to significantly improve signs of aging. But aesthetic technology continues to advance and offer less-invasive yet still transformative anti-aging results. RF microneedling is one of the latest innovations that is changing the way both beauty industry experts and patients think about anti-aging treatments.
Here, we share more about RF microneedling and why it’s worth the hype.
The science behind RF microneedling
RF microneedling combines the best of two proven skincare treatments: microneedling, which creates micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production, and radiofrequency (RF) energy, which penetrates deep into the dermis to enhance the skin’s natural healing process. Together these two modalities gradually tighten and smooth the skin and improve other imperfections over time.
Why RF microneedling is the ultimate anti-aging treatment
RF microneedling’s dual approach to turning back the clock on aging is truly in a league of its own. Here’s why:
- New collagen growth: RF microneedling is so effective at smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles because it boosts collagen production—the protein that keeps your skin firm and elastic. Over time, new collagen layers form under the skin’s surface so you’ll see fewer wrinkles and enjoy more youthful, glowing skin.
- Improves skin texture and tone: Large pores, uneven skin tone, and rough texture are some of the most common skin woes (and trying to cover them with makeup can often exaggerate their appearance). RF microneedling amplifies cell turnover, and along with new collagen formation, this treatment evens out your skin tone, helps smooth rough skin texture, and minimizes the appearance of your pores. A clearer, smoother complexion is the perfect base for makeup or just the confidence boost you need to go makeup-free.
- Long-lasting results: The effects of RF microneedling treatments begin to show immediately and become more noticeable as the weeks go by to improve the long-term health and appearance of your skin. As your skin continues to produce collagen long after your appointment, you’ll notice that your skin keeps looking better and better.
Our RF microneedling systems: Matrix PRO & Profound
At our Rancho Cucamonga medpas, we use the Matrix PRO RF Microneedling and Profound RF Microneedling devices. The Matrix PRO system is ideal for surface imperfections and offers standard and ablative treatment options. This system is highly customizable and is personalized based on the significance of your skin’s condition and the level of improvement you expect.
Lines and wrinkles aren’t the only imperfections that can age your appearance and signs of aging affect more than just your face: deeper skin concerns like cellulite, stretch marks, and skin laxity elsewhere on the body can also age your look. To improve these concerns, we recommend the Profound RF Microneedling system.

Comparing RF microneedling to other anti-aging treatments
We offer several of the most popular anti-aging treatments and while each treatment has its merits, RF microneedling offers a unique combination of benefits we highlight below:
RF microneedling vs. traditional microneedling
We love traditional microneedling to treat surface-level skin concerns like acne scars, pigmentation irregularities, and skin texture issues. However, it doesn’t reach the deeper layers of the skin where collagen production is most effective. The radiofrequency energy in RF microneedling goes deeper within the skin to provide more significant tightening and rejuvenation so we recommend RF microneedling when patients also want to address signs of aging.
RF microneedling vs. laser treatments
Laser treatments like the MiXto, ICON, and Cutera Laser Genesis are fantastic for targeting virtually all skin conditions, from superficial concerns like hyperpigmentation to deep-set imperfections like wrinkles and scarring.
Laser treatments like the MiXto CO2, ICON, and Cutera Laser Genesis are fantastic for targeting virtually all skin conditions, from superficial concerns like hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone to deep-set imperfections like wrinkles and scarring. Mixto CO2 is ideal for general resurfacing, Icon for brown spots, and Cutera Laser Genesis for collagen stimulation on the surface. While a CO2 laser treatment requires downtime, the others can be in-and out-procedures with minimal to no downtime. We will tailor the treatment to your specific needs.
RF microneedling offers a powerful alternative for those looking for an all-in-one anti-aging treatment with minimal downtime.
“Christy is an excellent choice to use if you want lip filler or laser treatment. She has performed both of these treatments on me several times. She will give you the look you want. I have received many compliments on the texture of my skin, and my husband loves the lips.”
RF microneedling vs. Exilis skin tightening
We love Exilis non-surgical skin tightening to firm the skin, melt fat deposits, and reduce cellulite. Exilis also uses radiofrequency and can be used in most body areas. For areas where the primary concern is to address signs of aging, we recommend RF microneedling for optimal anti-aging results and to address other skin blemishes.
Is RF microneedling right for you?
RF microneedling is incredibly versatile and suitable for most skin types and concerns: many patients choose this treatment to correct existing skin issues and then schedule regular sessions to keep their skin in prime condition and delay further signs of aging. Our skincare experts would be happy to examine your skin to confirm RF microneedling is the best treatment for you or suggest an effective alternative to deliver the results you’re looking for.
