Microneedling in Tampa, FL

Standard vs. RF microneedling

Standard microneedling uses a device with fine needles to create tiny channels in the skin; the healing response builds collagen and improves texture. It is often combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma from your own blood) to enhance results.

RF microneedling delivers radiofrequency energy through the needle tips into deeper skin, adding tightening and remodeling to the texture benefits. It is more expensive, involves more downtime, and is the choice for laxity, deeper scarring, and jawline or neck tightening.

What to expect

Topical numbing, then 20–45 minutes of treatment. Redness like a sunburn for a day or two after standard microneedling; a few days of redness and mild swelling after RF. Results develop over four to twelve weeks as collagen forms, and a series of three sessions spaced about a month apart is typical.

Pricing

Per session, with series pricing. RF microneedling is priced significantly higher than standard microneedling because of the device and depth of treatment.

What to check

Who performs it (RF microneedling is a medical device treatment), the device brand, sterile single-use needle cartridges, and aftercare instructions.
