What is Radio Frequency Microneedling?
RF Microneedling is a cutting-edge skincare treatment that combines the benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency energy to deliver exceptional skin rejuvenation results. This innovative procedure involves using tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin production for improved texture and elasticity. The added radiofrequency energy enhances the treatment, promoting deeper tissue tightening and more significant overall rejuvenation. With minimal downtime and remarkable improvements in fine lines, wrinkles, and skin tone, RF Microneedling is perfect for those seeking a non-surgical solution to achieve firmer, more youthful skin. Transform your complexion and boost your confidence with this powerful, effective treatment!
What to expect
Minimal discomfort with a numbing cream applied before treatment. Afterward, the skin may be red or slightly swollen for 1–2 days. Results appear gradually as collagen production increases, typically improving over several weeks.
How does it Work?
The Pixel8 combines tiny microneedles with radiofrequency energy. The microneedles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, while RF energy stimulates deep collagen production. This tightens the skin, improves elasticity, and smooths fine lines.

Morpheus8 is the most famous(best marketed brand) of all RF microneedling technology, but at the same time being the most HATED by many service providers d/t the potential harms from that machine. For being the most marketed brand though, people know it by brand rather than the technology.
Additional Education on the Difference of Radio Frequency
| FEATURE | MICRONEEDLING | RADIO FREQUENCY |
| MECHANISM | Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries | Combines microneedling with radio frequency energy to stimulate deeper collagen production |
| TARGET DEPTH | Focus on the skins surface (epidermis) | Reaches deeper layers (dermis) for more effective collagen remodeling |
| BEST FOR | Fine lines, wrinkles, and superficial scars | Skin tightening, deep acne scars, and mild to moderate skin laxity |
| RESULTS | Improves texture and appearance with gradual results over several sessions | Tighter, firmer skin with fewer session needed for visible results |
| DOWNTIME | Minimal-slight redness for 1-2 days | Slightly longer downtime-redness and swelling for 2-4 days |
| SKIN CONCERNS TREATED | Fine lines, texture, and superficial scars | Wrinkles, sagging skin, stretch marks, deep scars, and uneven skin tone |
| LIMITATIONS | Limited skin tightening and deeper skin rejuvenation | More intense treatment; slight discomfort during the procedure |
FAQ
Q: Can it be used on all skin types?
A: Yes. Compared to laser treatments, the Pixel8 RF utilizes only radiofrequency energy. The microneedles are designed to precisely deliver the pulse towards the dermis tissues. Visually, there is no thermal damage made to the epidermis and almost completely removes any risks of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on dark skin types.
Q: How long does a treatment take?
A: Sessions generally take 20-30 minutes, based on the area being treated. For patients requiring more intensive sessions, the duration of a session may run 30 minutes to 45 minutes long. Most patients will begin to see improvement after a single session, however, to complete your aesthetic goals, it is recommended that patients do upwards of three sessions.
Q: How does RF microneedling differ from other laser treatments?
A: Lasers can help on a variety of levels to resurface the skin by repairing damage caused by the sun, aging, or scars. RF microneedling treatments offer similar resurfacing results, with less downtime and for all skin types that may make it a better option for some patients.
Q: What is unique about RF Microneedling?
A: Traditional microneedling will deliver a positive effect over a few treatments; adding radiofrequency energy reduces the time it takes to see great results and increases the results seen. With RF microneedling, the results are produced faster, are more dramatic, and are longer-lived. RF operates at a higher frequency for enhanced patient comfort and quicker treatment times. It also has a proprietary enhanced delay which enables patients of all skin types to benefit from non-insulated needles. This allows for more sustained uniform heating throughout the procedure that should yield more significant textural and tightening results.
