Why RF Microneedling?
Why RF Microneedling?
Stimulate collagen production below the surface of the skin for a more youthful and fresh appearance. Our experienced providers are skilled at using RF Microneedling to harness the body’s natural healing response to enhance skin’s texture and tone. Radiofrequency ups the game from traditional Microneedling by penetrating the deeper layers of skin, which provides an additional lifting and tightening benefit. Concerns we can address at AMARA with RF Microneedling include:
All Of Our Microneedling Options
What’s the difference between RF microneedling and traditional microneedling?
In traditional microneedling, small needles are used to create tiny abrasions on the skin. It encourages the body to heal itself, leading to the production of collagen and elastin for healthy, youthful skin.
By incorporating radiofrequency, the treatment can heat the skin’s underlying layers for additional collagen and elastin stimulation. Compared to a regular microneedling session, this allows us to access deeper layers of the skin. The results are faster, more dramatic, and longer-lasting compared to microneedling alone.

Guests who come in for RF Microneedling in AMARA may experience some mild discomfort during the procedure.
