Microneedle radio frequency (MNF RF) is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. During the treatment, tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin, while simultaneously delivering RF energy to the deeper layers. This dual action stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture.
SkinPen by Crown Aesthetics, was the first microneedling device in the world cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), clinically shown to safely and effectively treat facial acne scars for ages 22 and up. With as few as three non-invasive and affordable treatments spaced 30 days apart, you can improve your appearance and step out with confidence.
Understanding SkinPen Microneedling
What It Treats ?
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Helps reduce the appearance of aging skin.
Acne Scars: Improves texture and reduces the visibility of scars.
Skin Tightening: Enhances skin firmness and elasticity.
Enlarged Pores: Minimizes the appearance of pores.
Stretch Marks: Aids in reducing the visibility of stretch marks.
Overall Skin Tone and Texture: Promotes a smoother, more even complexion.
What is SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen microneedling is an advanced, non-invasive treatment designed to improve the appearance and texture of your skin. Using a medical-grade device, SkinPen creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin’s surface to stimulate the body’s natural healing process and promote collagen and elastin production. This procedure helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and skin texture irregularities.
Unlike traditional microneedling methods, SkinPen is FDA-approved and offers more precise, effective results with minimal downtime.
What to Expect During the Procedure ?
During the microneedle radio frequency (MNF RF) procedure, you'll begin with a consultation where you'll discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns with the provider. Next, the treatment area will be cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort. The practitioner will then use a device equipped with microneedles to create tiny punctures in the skin while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy. The entire procedure typically lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the specific area being treated. Afterward, you'll receive instructions for post-procedure care, which will include information about potential redness or swelling.
Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling
Improved Skin Texture & Tone: SkinPen promotes smoother, more even skin by targeting uneven texture, enlarged pores, and dullness.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The collagen boost helps plump the skin, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Acne Scar Treatment: SkinPen is highly effective for treating acne scars, helping to smooth and restore the skin’s appearance.
Tighter, Firmer Skin: Stimulated collagen production leads to a firmer, more youthful-looking complexion.
Minimal Downtime: With SkinPen, you can expect only a few days of mild redness, allowing you to return to your routine quickly.
Safe for All Skin Types: SkinPen is suitable for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile treatment for anyone looking to improve their skin’s appearance.
Preparing for the Procedure
When you plan your microneedling treatment with us, you'll begin with a personalized consultation where our expert provider will assess your skin concerns and determine if microneedling is the right choice for you. The treatment itself is quick—usually 30-60 minutes depending on the area being treated—with minimal discomfort. No extensive preparation is needed, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Afterward, you may experience some redness or mild swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within a few hours to a day. There’s little to no downtime, so you can resume your daily activities right away. Results gradually improve over several weeks as your skin produces new collagen, and with a series of treatments, you’ll see more noticeable, lasting improvements. We’re here to help you achieve smoother, more youthful skin with minimal disruption to your lifestyle.
Does Microneedling have side effects?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure, and most people experience very few side effects. However, like any treatment, there are some potential risks and temporary reactions. The most common side effects include:
Redness and Swelling: After the procedure, your skin may appear red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically resolves within a few hours to a day.
Dryness or Flaking: As your skin heals and regenerates collagen, you might experience some dryness or light peeling a few days after the treatment. This is part of the skin’s natural healing process.
Sensitivity: Your skin may feel more sensitive than usual for a short period, especially to products like sunscreen or makeup.
Am I a good candidate for SkinPen Microneedling?
Microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) is a fantastic option for those looking to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and tighten loose or sagging skin. If you're seeking to address concerns such as fine lines, acne scars, uneven skin tone, or mild to moderate skin laxity, microneedling RF could be an excellent solution. This treatment is suitable for most skin types and can be applied to areas like the face, neck, and even the body, offering a non-surgical option for rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
However, microneedling RF may not be right for everyone. If you have active skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or open wounds, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, this treatment may not be recommended. We’ll work with you to assess your skin concerns, set realistic expectations, and determine if microneedling RF is the right fit for your needs. To get started, we invite you to schedule a consultation with our expert providers, who will create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your skin goals.
Most patients benefit from a series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Individual results may vary based on skin type and concerns.
Discomfort is minimal due to the use of topical anesthetics. Patients may feel a slight prickling sensation during the treatment.
Downtime is generally minimal. Patients may experience redness and swelling for a few days, similar to a mild sunburn. Makeup can usually be applied after 24 hours.
Common side effects include redness, swelling, and minor bruising. Serious side effects are rare when performed by a qualified professional. Always discuss risks with your provider.
