RF Microneedling
Microneedling with Radio-Frequency
The Pixel8 RF is a Microneedling System with the added benefit of built-in Radiofrequency. This virtually painless treatment is somewhat similar to a “standard” microneedling facial treatment, which utilizes rows of very small, fine needles to penetrate the skin to create controlled injuries. The main difference between the Pixel8 and a “standard” microneedling facial is that the device is able to penetrate all three layers of the skin, in turn heating the tissues and stimulating collagen and elastin production. The added bonus of the Arctic Chiller helps to cool the skin and make treatments more comfortable for clients.
And the best part about this treatment? It is safe for all skin types!

Frequently Asked Questions
How does RF microneedling differ from traditional microneedling?
RF microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the skin’s layers. This enhances collagen and elastin production, resulting in more dramatic improvements in skin texture, firmness, and tone compared to standard microneedling.
Is RF microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes, RF microneedling is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones, because it uses controlled radiofrequency energy that minimizes the risk of pigmentation changes or burns.
Will I experience pain during RF microneedling?
Most clients find the treatment virtually painless, thanks to the Arctic Chiller and numbing cream applied before the session. You might feel mild warmth or tingling, but overall, the procedure is designed to be comfortable.
How long does it take to see results from RF microneedling?
Initial results like smoother and tighter skin can often be seen within a few weeks. Collagen and elastin production continue for several months, so your skin’s appearance will progressively improve over time.
Can RF microneedling treat scars and stretch marks?
Yes, RF microneedling is highly effective for treating scars, including acne scars, as well as stretch marks. The combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy stimulates healing and improves skin texture in treated areas.
How many RF microneedling sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your skin concerns and goals. Most clients achieve the best results with 3-6 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart, as advised during your consultation.
Is there any downtime after RF microneedling?
Downtime is minimal. You might experience mild redness, tightness, or sensitivity similar to a sunburn for 1-2 days. Slight scabbing might occur but typically resolves quickly, allowing you to return to normal activities.
