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?
Think of it as microneedling’s more powerful sibling. Traditional microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin to spark repair, but RF microneedling adds RF energy into the mix, sending heat deeper into the skin’s layers where collagen actually lives. That extra depth means more noticeable collagen stimulation, making it a go-to cosmetic procedure for anyone who wants firmer skin and to improve skin texture rather than just surface-level change.
Is RF microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes, and it’s actually one of the biggest perks of the technology. Because the radiofrequency energy is so precisely controlled, RF microneedling works beautifully across all skin tones, including deeper complexions that are often more prone to pigmentation issues with other treatments like laser treatment. It’s a safer route to real results, no matter your skin condition or tone.
Will I experience pain during RF microneedling?
Most of our clients at Allure Aesthetic Center are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the session feels. Before we begin, we apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area and use our Arctic Chiller to keep things cool and calm. You’ll likely just notice a bit of warmth or light tingling.
How long does it take to see results from RF microneedling?
Many of our clients at Allure Aesthetic Center start noticing smoother, radiant skin within just a few weeks, but the real magic happens behind the scenes — your body’s natural healing response keeps producing collagen and elastin for months afterward. That means your results keep getting better long after you’ve left the treatment room.
Can RF microneedling treat scars and stretch marks?
Yes. Whether you’re dealing with acne scarring or stretch marks, RF microneedling is remarkably effective at kickstarting healing skin from within. By combining precision needling with heat energy, it encourages skin resurfacing at a deeper level, softening texture and evening out tone in the areas that need it most.
How many RF microneedling sessions will I need?
This depends on what you’re hoping to achieve. Our clients dealing with sagging skin or mild skin laxity often see the best transformation with 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. We’ll map out a personalized plan for your skin treatment during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Is there any downtime after RF microneedling?
There’s hardly any downtime after RF microneedling, which is part of why this treatment is so popular. You might notice some redness or tightness for a day or two, similar to mild sun exposure, and light scabbing can occur but clears up fast. It’s best to stick with a gentle cleanser to keep your skin clean while it heals, and you’ll be back to your normal routine in no time, on your way to lasting facial rejuvenation.
