RF Microneedling in Atlanta
Microneedling with Radio-Frequency
The Pixel8 RF is a cutting-edge microneedling system that incorporates built-in radiofrequency for enhanced results. This minimally invasive treatment works similarly to traditional microneedling, using fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate natural healing. However, Pixel8 RF sets itself apart by reaching all three layers of the skin, delivering heat that boosts collagen and elastin production. The Arctic Chiller feature provides a cooling effect, ensuring greater comfort throughout the procedure.
And the best part about this treatment? It is suitable for all skin types!

Frequently Asked Questions
How does RF microneedling differ from traditional microneedling?
RF microneedling enhances traditional microneedling by incorporating radiofrequency energy, which allows it to reach deeper layers of the skin. This added energy boosts collagen and elastin production more effectively than standard microneedling, leading to improved skin tightness, texture, and overall rejuvenation.
Is RF microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes, RF microneedling is suitable for all skin types, including darker complexions, as it delivers controlled radiofrequency energy that reduces the likelihood of pigmentation issues or burns. This makes it a safe and effective option for individuals with varying skin tones.
Will I experience pain during RF microneedling?
Most patients in Atlanta experience little to no discomfort due to the numbing cream applied before treatment and the Arctic Chiller technology, which keeps the skin cool. Some may feel a slight warmth or tingling, but the procedure is designed to be well-tolerated.
How long does it take to see results from RF microneedling?
Early improvements, such as firmer and smoother skin, may be noticeable within a few weeks. However, since collagen and elastin production continues over several months, the skin’s texture and elasticity will continue to improve over time.
Can RF microneedling treat scars and stretch marks?
Yes, RF microneedling is an excellent option for reducing the appearance of scars, including acne scars, as well as stretch marks. By combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy, the treatment stimulates the body’s natural healing response and improves overall skin texture.
How many RF microneedling sessions will I need?
The number of sessions required varies based on individual skin concerns. Most clients see optimal results after 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, as determined during their consultation.
Is there any downtime after RF microneedling?
There is little to no downtime. Some redness, mild swelling, or tightness may be present for 1-2 days, resembling a mild sunburn. In some cases, slight scabbing can develop, but it typically heals quickly, allowing normal activities to resume.
