If you’ve been noticing your jawline isn’t as defined as it used to be or the skin around your neck is starting to loosen, you’re not alone. Skin laxity is one of the first signs of aging most people see. For years, surgery seemed like the only option—but now, microneedling treatments like RF microneedling at our Pasadena Med Spa offer a non-surgical way to lift and tighten your skin, naturally. RF microneedling is a microneedling treatment that combines radiofrequency energy with traditional microneedling for enhanced skin tightening and rejuvenation. Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, stimulates your skin’s natural healing process to improve texture, firmness, and overall appearance with minimal downtime.
Over time, your skin’s ability to produce collagen and elastin slows down. These proteins are what keep your skin firm, smooth, and elastic. Add in years of sun exposure, environmental stress, and daily movement, and it’s no surprise when sagging skin, fine lines, and a loss of definition start to appear.
When these structural supports weaken, treatments like radiofrequency microneedling can stimulate collagen growth and restore firmness from within. For those dealing with surface-level texture or pigmentation, RF microneedling can also improve skin texture by smoothing the skin’s surface and addressing issues like fine lines and scars, while enhancing skin tone by evening out discoloration and brightening the complexion. ClearLift laser treatments can be a great complementary option to round out your skin rejuvenation plan.
RF microneedling combines two powerful skin-renewing techniques in one treatment. Fine needles in the RF microneedling device create tiny holes in the skin's surface, while radiofrequency heat is delivered through these needles into the deeper layers. This controlled thermal injury and tissue coagulation stimulate new collagen growth and hyaluronic acid production.
The energy delivered by the RF microneedling device is precisely controlled for optimal results and to safely treat all skin types and skin tones. RF microneedling devices and other RF devices differ in their technology, needle depth, and ability to minimize risks like hyperpigmentation, especially for darker skin tones.
Compared to other devices and other RF microneedling devices, the device used at our clinic offers advanced safety features, customizable needle depths, and superior energy delivery for enhanced efficacy and reduced side effects.
This combination triggers your body’s natural healing response, leading to new collagen production, gradual skin tightening, and improved skin texture. RF microneedling can reduce wrinkles, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, and help with facial rejuvenation. While effective for many concerns, RF microneedling may not address significant sun damage. The treatment can also benefit those with active acne by reducing oil production and improving skin texture. The procedure is suitable for all skin types and tones, and can safely treat a variety of concerns.
For most patients, a series of RF microneedling treatments is often recommended for optimal results, offering noticeable improvements with minimal downtime, and the entire process is made comfortable with a topical numbing cream applied beforehand.
Surgical facelifts deliver more immediate and dramatic results but involve incisions, recovery time, and a significant commitment. RF microneedling, on the other hand, is ideal for those with mild to moderate skin laxity who want a more subtle, gradual lift.
With radio frequency microneedling, the collagen induction process works over time, providing a refreshed and naturally firmer appearance without the risks and downtime associated with surgery.
The areas that benefit most from RF microneedling are:
Needle depth and RF energy settings are adjusted for each treated area, ensuring that every session is customized for your skin type and goals.
Expect some redness and slight swelling, but these effects usually resolve within 24 to 48 hours. Because microneedling stimulates new skin cells and boosts collagen production, results build gradually. Most clients see noticeable improvements after three treatments, spaced a few weeks apart.
Your post-treatment care is simple—focus on gentle skin care, such as using a mild cleanser, fragrance-free moisturizer, and broad-spectrum SPF. Avoid harsh products or exfoliants, and stick to a basic skin care routine to minimize irritation and promote optimal healing. Proper skin care during this period is essential for supporting the healing process and achieving the best results.

If you’re looking for a way to tighten skin, smooth texture, and stimulate new collagen without surgery, RF microneedling is a great option. It’s effective for treating early signs of laxity and helps maintain a firm, youthful appearance with minimal downtime.
And if you’ve ever wondered, “does radiofrequency microneedling hurt?”—the short answer is no. With a good topical anesthetic, most patients only experience mild discomfort, if any at all.
