Introduction
Introduction to RF Microneedling
Microneedling has become a very popular procedure that stimulates collagen and elastic tissue remodeling, resulting in smoother and tighter skin. An innovative procedure called “RF Microneedling,” which combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy has become the latest go-to skin rejuvenation option. There are several available RF microneedling devices; however, Infini Radio Frequency Microneedling brings innovative technologies together to address various cosmetic concerns simultaneously. This combination not only smooths the skin but also creates tissue volumization to reduce the signs of aging. Infini is unique in its delivery of this technology to the dermis, where collagen and elastin are made.

What is RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling adds the element of radiofrequency energy to the traditional microneedling procedure. Traditional microneedling uses a special device that creates micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural wound repair cells to remodel collagen and elastic tissue. This results in smoother, tighter skin and can reduce fine lines and improve acne scarring.
By delivering RF energy under the skin, RF microneedling allows for safe targeting of the deep dermis without the risk of damaging the skin surface. This allows for effective tightening of the skin and remodeling of scar tissue (such as in acne scars). Before this innovative technology, heating of the deep tissue required energy delivery through the skin surface, which limits the amount of energy that could be delivered to the deeper tissues. Too much energy could damage or burn the skin’s surface. RF microneedling delivers energy from the tips of the needles after fully penetrating the skin surface.
What Are the Benefits of RF Microneedling?
Infini can be used on the face, jawline, neck, chest, arms, and knees to restore smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin. Some of the improvements that can be achieved with Infini RF microneedling in Philadelphia include:
- Improved thickness and volume
- More even skin tone
- Reduced appearance of acne scars
- Reduced appearance of lines and wrinkles
- Smoother skin texture
- Tighter skin that appears more lifted
Who Are the Best Candidates for RF Microneedling?
Lax, loose skin, and wrinkles are two of the concerns commonly treated with Infini. The most common treatment area is the face, though some people seek it to address crepey skin on the neck or chest area. Infini can be used on all skin types because the radiofrequency energy from the device bypasses the epidermis, and microneedles have no effect on skin pigmentation. This eliminates the risk of pigment changes after treatment. Infini is approved for all skin types and is suitable for all skin tones.
This minimally invasive technique may be ideal for you if you wish to reduce the appearance of:
- Acne or acne scars
- Deep lines and creases
- Enlarged pores
- Mild sagging or jowls
- Poor skin texture
- Skin Tightening
- Stretch marks
- Sun damage
If you are healthy and free of skin infections, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and understand what is possible with Infini, you may be an excellent candidate for RF microneedling in the greater Philadelphia area.
What’s the First Step?
The first step to getting RF microneedling in Philadelphia is to schedule an appointment with one of our expert providers at Lux Skin Lasers in King of Prussia, Bryan Mawr or Margate, NJ, who would like to know your medical history, your aesthetic goals, and the target areas with associated concerns and expectations. Your provider will physically examine the target area, check your skin laxity, and see the extent of blemishes and damage. They will outline the treatment during this process, explaining any risks and benefits, recovery, and expectations of the result.
If you agree to proceed with the treatment, the provider will draft a treatment plan. Once you have that plan, you can take it to our patient coordinator, who can help with pricing, scheduling, and sharing any pre-operative instructions.
What to Expect on the Day of RF Microneedling Treatment
On the day of your RF microneedling treatment in Philadelphia at Lux Skin Lasers, your provider and their staff will welcome you and get you settled in our treatment room. They will make sure you have no further questions or concerns about the treatment plan. Finally, if requested, a topical numbing cream will be applied to numb the target area around 30 minutes ahead of the treatment.
Once you are numb, your provider will skillfully glide the RF microneedling device over the target area a few times. Depending on your skin condition and goals, they will select the appropriate depth of microneedle penetration.
Infini treatments can take approximately 45 minutes, with appointment times lasting slightly longer.
RF Microneedling Recovery
The skin is typically red and perhaps slightly swollen for 1-3 days after the treatment; the redness is usually mild and looks like a sunburn. There is little or no discomfort after the procedure, and most patients can return to regular activity on the day after the treatment. Given that the procedure involves the creation of small microchannels in the skin, we recommend avoiding any makeup for at least 3 days after the treatment session.
