RF Microneedling in Canton
Microneedling with Radio-Frequency
Pixel8 RF is an advanced microneedling system that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency technology. Like standard microneedling, it utilizes rows of fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, promoting rejuvenation. However, unlike traditional methods, this device penetrates all three skin layers, applying heat to stimulate collagen and elastin. The Arctic Chiller feature further enhances comfort by cooling the skin during treatment.
And the best part about this treatment? It works effectively on all skin types!

Will I experience pain during RF microneedling?
Most clients in Canton report minimal discomfort thanks to the numbing cream and cooling technology used during treatment. While some warmth or a light tingling sensation may be felt, the procedure is designed to be as comfortable as possible.
How long does it take to see results from RF microneedling?
Visible skin improvements, such as enhanced firmness and refined texture, often begin appearing within a few weeks. The benefits continue to develop as collagen production increases, with optimal results typically seen over the following months.
Can RF microneedling treat scars and stretch marks?
