Are RF Microneedling Results Permanent?
Introduction: Are RF Microneedling Results Permanent?
In my years of experience in the aesthetics industry, I’ve been asked about the longevity of results from various treatments time and again. One treatment that often sparks curiosity is radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. As an innovative skin rejuvenation procedure, it promises to improve texture, reduce pores, and even out skin tone. But the burning question remains – are the results permanent?
From my interactions with clients at Wellaholic and industry experts, I understand the desire for long-lasting solutions. While RF microneedling can deliver impressive improvements, it’s crucial to approach it with realistic expectations.
In the rest of this article, I will provide more details on the nature of results, how long they typically last, and why maintaining a consistent skincare routine is key.
What is RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling is a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatment that combines radiofrequency energy and microneedling to produce visible results in skin texture, tone, and overall health. This treatment works by creating tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, encouraging collagen production and increasing circulation in the area.
Common Concerns that RF Microneedling Targets
RF Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that can target common concerns such as wrinkles, scarring, enlarged pores, dullness, uneven texture, and discoloration. It can also be used on most areas of the face, including around delicate areas around the eyes or mouth.
Minimal Downtime and Cumulative Effects
RF Microneedling involves minimal downtime for recovery, with many people being able to return to work after a single session. The effects are cumulative, with the best results seen after 2-3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart from one another. At Wellaholic, we recommend spacing treatments between 2 weeks to 4 weeks apart for the best results.

Benefits of RF Microneedling
The advent of radio frequency (RF) microneedling has revolutionized the beauty and medical industries. This innovative treatment offers a wide range of benefits for both aesthetic and health-related concerns. By combining RF energy with the power of microneedling, those seeking to reduce wrinkles, scars, skin laxity, and other issues can do so safely and effectively.
How RF Microneedling Works
RF microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles on the surface of the skin to deliver heat directly into underlying tissue layers. The thermal energy stimulates collagen production while coagulating tissue in areas where wrinkles or scars are present. This unique dual action helps to improve skin texture, reduce pore size, improve scarring, even out pigment distribution and enhance overall appearance without causing further damage to the skin’s surface.
The Lifespan of Results from RF Microneedling
The length of time that results from RF microneedling will depend on several factors, such as the severity of skin damage being treated, your age and lifestyle habits, as well as how many treatments you receive. Generally speaking though, you can expect to see improved results for up to six months following an RF microneedling treatment. For some individuals with less severe signs of aging or sun damage, these effects may last much longer – even up to two years or more!
Here is a table that depicts the differences between RF microneedling and microneedling treatments:
| Treatment | RF Microneedling | Microneedling |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment Type | Radiofrequency-based treatment | Non-radiofrequency-based treatment |
| Procedure Description | Uses a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin and applies radiofrequency energy | Uses a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin |
| Targeted Issues | Fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, overall skin rejuvenation | Fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, overall skin rejuvenation |
| Recovery Time | Minimal downtime, some redness and mild swelling | Minimal downtime, some redness and mild swelling |
| Pain/Discomfort | May cause mild to moderate discomfort during the treatment | May cause mild to moderate discomfort during the treatment |
| Effectiveness | Highly effective, noticeable results in a few weeks | Effective, but may require several treatments for best results |
| Cost | More expensive compared to traditional microneedling | Less expensive compared to RF microneedling |
Please note that the effectiveness and cost of these treatments can vary depending on various factors such as the individual’s skin type, the specific issues being addressed, and the number of treatments received.
Then, Are RF Microneedling Results Permanent?
RF microneedling results are not entirely permanent. The treatment stimulates collagen production to improve skin texture and reduce signs of ageing. But our skin continues ageing over time.
I recommend maintenance sessions every 6-12 months. This helps prolong results by continuing to boost collagen levels. Patients usually see optimal effects 3 months after their initial treatment series. Then results can last 1-2 years with proper skincare.
For example, I had a client with acne scarring who did 4 RF microneedling sessions. Her skin looked amazing afterwards! But some textural irregularities started returning after a year. We did one follow-up session, and her skin is glowing again. Maintenance keeps you looking refreshed.
