What Is RF Microneedling?
PiXel8-RF is an FDA-cleared device by Rohrer Aesthetics that combines two proven technologies: microneedling and radiofrequency. During treatment, tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin while bipolar RF energy delivers heat into the deeper dermal layers. Together, they trigger your body's natural healing response, producing new collagen and elastin where your skin needs it most.
PiXel8-RF treats a variety of skin concerns, including:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars and uneven texture
Enlarged pores
Mild skin laxity along the jawline, neck, or décolletage
Dull or rough skin tone
Stretch marks and hyperpigmentation
Crepey skin
How It Works
PiXel8-RF operates at two depths simultaneously. The microneedles create controlled channels at the skin's surface to activate the body's repair process, while radiofrequency energy delivers heat into the deeper tissue to remodel collagen and tighten existing fibers.
Our experts use PiXel8-RF to:
Stimulate new collagen and elastin production
Tighten and firm loose or crepey skin
Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
Soften acne scars and surface texture
Reduce the appearance of enlarged pores
Brighten overall skin tone
Topical numbing is applied beforehand to keep you comfortable, and adjustable depth and energy settings allow us to safely treat all skin types and tones.

Are You a Good Candidate?

Are bothered by fine lines, acne scars, or enlarged pores

PiXel8-RF may not be right for you if you are pregnant, have active acne or an infection in the treatment area, have open wounds, or have certain medical conditions that affect healing. We can confirm whether PiXel8-RF is right for you during a consultation.

RF Microneedling Treatment Areas
One of the biggest advantages of RF microneedling is its versatility. Treatments can be customized for both the face and body, allowing providers to target skin laxity, texture concerns, scarring, and early signs of aging in multiple areas. Systems like PiXel8-RF use adjustable treatment depths and controlled radiofrequency energy to address concerns at varying layers beneath the skin's surface.
Common RF microneedling treatment areas include:
Face – Improve fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven texture, acne scars, and overall skin quality
Forehead – Soften horizontal lines and create smoother-looking skin
Under Eyes – Improve crepey skin and support firmer-looking tissue beneath the eyes
Cheeks – Address acne scarring, enlarged pores, and skin laxity
Jawline & Jowls – Tighten early sagging and create a more defined appearance
Neck – Treat loose, crepey skin and improve firmness
Double Chin Area – Support tightening beneath the chin and along the upper neck
Hands – Improve skin texture and signs of aging on the backs of the hands
Décolletage & Chest – Smooth sun damage, wrinkles, and thinning skin
Because treatment settings can be customized to skin concerns and depth, RF microneedling can be tailored to areas needing resurfacing, collagen stimulation, tightening, or a combination of all three.

Why Choose RF Microneedling Over Traditional Microneedling
RF microneedling provides stronger, longer-lasting results than traditional microneedling. While traditional microneedling treats the surface, RF adds gentle radiofrequency heat deeper to tighten, lift, and rebuild collagen. Expect firmer, smoother, more radiant skin with fewer sessions, better tone, texture, and elasticity, and minimal downtime.
Boost Your Results With Exosomes or PRP
PiXel8-RF delivers strong results on its own, but pairing it with a regenerative add-on can take your results further. Both options are applied immediately after treatment, when the microchannels in your skin are open and ready to absorb active ingredients more effectively than they would on a normal day.
PiXel8-RF With Exosomes
Exosomes are tiny messenger particles derived from stem cells that signal your skin to repair, regenerate, and produce more collagen. Applied topically immediately after PiXel8-RF, they travel through the open microchannels in your skin and reach deeper layers than topical serums normally can. This accelerates healing, reduces inflammation, and amplifies the treatment's rejuvenating effects. Patients who add exosomes often notice less downtime, faster results, and a brighter, more even finish. Exosomes are especially well-suited for mature or sensitive skin, or anyone looking to maximize results with the shortest possible recovery time.
PiXel8-RF With PRP
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is drawn from your own blood through a simple in-office draw, then processed to concentrate the growth factors that support tissue repair and collagen production. Applied after PiXel8-RF, PRP travels through the open microchannels to deliver growth factors directly into the deeper layers of your skin. This harnesses your body's own healing chemistry to enhance results, improve skin tone, and shorten recovery time. Because it is sourced from you, there is no risk of an allergic reaction, making PRP an especially popular choice for patients who prefer fully natural treatments or want a regenerative boost without introducing external ingredients.

RF Microneedling FAQs
-
Most clients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable but very tolerable. A topical numbing cream is applied before your session to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. You may feel a gentle warmth and light pressure as the microneedles deliver radiofrequency energy beneath the skin, but it shouldn’t be painful. Afterward, your skin may feel warm or tight for a few hours—similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within a day.
-
Downtime is minimal. You may experience redness, mild swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation for 24 to 72 hours. Some clients notice slight flaking or dryness a few days post-treatment as the skin renews. Most people return to normal activities the next day, though it’s best to avoid sun exposure and wear mineral sunscreen.
-
Results develop gradually as your skin produces new collagen and elastin over the following weeks. Most clients notice visible improvement in skin texture, tightness, and tone within 4–6 weeks after a series of treatments. We recommend starting with a package of 3 for optimal results. Results can last up to 12–18 months, depending on your skin health, lifestyle, and maintenance routine. Occasional touch-up sessions are recommended once or twice a year to keep your skin firm and glowing.
-
RF microneedling is generally very safe when performed by a trained provider. Common side effects are mild and temporary, such as redness, slight swelling, or a warm “sunburn” feeling that typically resolves within 24–48 hours. Some clients may experience mild flaking or dryness as the skin renews itself. Complications are rare but can include bruising, pinpoint bleeding, or temporary pigment changes. Your provider will review your medical history and skin type to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
-
Before treatment, your provider will cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable. The procedure takes about 30–60 minutes depending on the area treated. You’ll feel a gentle warmth and light pressure as the microneedles deliver radiofrequency energy beneath the surface.
After your session, mild redness, warmth, or swelling is common for the first 24–48 hours, similar to a light sunburn. You can resume normal activities the next day, but it’s best to avoid makeup, sweating, or direct sun exposure for 24 hours. Over the next few weeks, your skin will gradually appear smoother, firmer, and more radiant as collagen and elastin rebuild.
-
RF microneedling is ideal for anyone looking to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall tone without surgery or significant downtime. It’s effective for fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and mild skin laxity on the face, neck, and body. Most skin types and tones can safely benefit from this treatment.
You may not be a candidate if you’re pregnant, have active acne, an infection, open wounds, or certain medical conditions affecting healing. During your consultation, your provider will assess your skin and discuss your goals to determine if RF microneedling is the right choice for you.
-
This advanced treatment tightens, lifts, and smooths your skin by stimulating deep collagen and elastin production. It improves fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and overall skin texture, revealing a firmer, more radiant complexion from within. The best part? Results continue to improve for weeks as your skin naturally renews itself, giving you that fresh, filtered glow without surgery or downtime.
