How does RF Microneedling work?
How Does Microneedling Work, and What Benefits Does It Provide?
Microneedling is a cutting-edge technique that rejuvenates the skin by creating tiny, controlled punctures using fine needles. This process prompts your skin to kick-start its natural healing mechanism, resulting in a refreshed and renewed surface.
But the innovation doesn't stop there. When combined with radiofrequency energy, microneedling delves deeper. This dynamic duo not only enhances the skin’s outer layer but also boosts its overall look and feel by stimulating collagen production deep within. The gentle heat applied encourages the formation of new collagen, unveiling a smoother and firmer complexion over time.
Benefits of RF Microneedling
-
Versatile Application: Suitable for most skin types, it's versatile enough to treat areas across the face and body.
-
Minimal Downtime: Compared to surgical options like facelifts, RF microneedling offers a quick recovery period while still delivering remarkable results.
-
Subtle, Yet Effective Results: While the changes are more understated compared to surgery, the improvement in skin texture and tightness is significant.
-
Skin Revitalization: It’s an effective choice for those looking to enhance the overall appearance and health of their skin.
This non-invasive treatment is a fantastic solution for individuals seeking comprehensive skin rejuvenation without the need for surgical intervention.
At Bloom Aesthetics, we perform RF microneedling utilizing the Morpheus8. The tip used will largely depend on the area being treated. We will begin by utilizing a topical numbing cream to help you remain comfortable. The handheld microneedling device contains small needles that stamp into the skin to puncture and create micro-injuries that "disrupt" the cells and stimulate the production of collagen. Combined with radiofrequency technology, this treatment allows us to optimize the results for our Orlando, FL patients. You can anticipate small pinpoint scabs to appear 24 – 72 hours after the session, which will naturally disappear when the skin has healed. Typically, you should notice results as your skin heals over 3 – 4 weeks. Optimal results take 3-6 months to show, and generally call for 3 – 4 treatments one month apart.
We are experts in RF and RF Microneedling treatments, having completed over 1,500 of these treatments.
Consultations at Bloom Aesthetics are always Free

What Post-Treatment Care is Recommended After RF Microneedling?
After your RF microneedling session, it's essential to follow a few key steps to ensure optimal results and skin health:
-
Hydration is Key
Keep the treated area well-moisturized. Opt for a soothing, fragrance-free moisturizer to aid the healing process and maintain skin's hydration. In addition, we will provide you with some free and some add-on post care options such as a masque, hyaluronic acid, exosomes, growth factor serum, or an antioxidant daily skin defense serum. Using some of these topicals in your post treatment skin care regimen can be as important and effective as the treatment itself. -
Shield from the Sun
Protect your skin by avoiding direct sunlight. If you need to be outdoors, wear a wide-brimmed hat or seek shade whenever possible. -
Daily Sunscreen Application
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 50 every day. This helps protect your skin against harmful UV rays, slowing the aging process and preventing potential damage. We carry EltaMD and will provide you with samples upon request. -
Gentle Skincare Routine
Stick to mild cleansers and avoid harsh scrubs or exfoliators for at least a week post-treatment to prevent irritation. If your skin is very sensitive, discuss with us and we will advise you accordingly on organic and hypoallergenic skin care options. -
Monitor Skin Recovery
Watch for any signs of unusual redness or discomfort. If these symptoms persist, consulting your healthcare provider can offer guidance and peace of mind. Make sure to follow up with us regularly for the first 90 days as your skin heals, rebuilds, and rejuvenates from the inside out. -
Healthy Diet & Supplements
It is important to stay hydrated by drinking water regularly and daily, as well as to take your mulitvitamins. Vitamin C and/or collagen supplements help keep your skin healthy and give it the building blocks to rebuild and rejuvenate. Supplements and diet in your post treatment skin care regimen can be as important and effective as the treatment itself.
By following these steps, you enhance the effectiveness of your Morpheus8 RF microneedling treatment and support your skin’s natural recovery process.
