If you’ve been researching skin rejuvenation treatments, chances are you’ve come across microneedling and RF microneedling. At Ra Aesthetics, we offer both options and each delivers transformative results tailored to different skin goals. So, what sets them apart? Let’s break it down.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves using ultra-fine, sterile needles to create microchannels in the skin. This triggers your fibroblasts & body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production. Research has shown that 6 sessions of microneedling may increase collagen by up to 400%.

$250 per session

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling combines the collagen-inducing benefits of traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate tissue remodeling from deeper within the skin.
Tightens lax or aging skin, great for moderate or advanced skin concerns
Shrinks enlarged pores
Treats deeper wrinkles and acne scars
More dramatic results with fewer sessions
While both microneedling treatments encourage collagen production, RF microneedling goes deeper, reaching the dermal layers for enhanced tightening and skin remodeling. It’s ideal for those with more moderate to advanced aging concerns or stubborn acne scars.
Just like traditional microneedling, Rejuran can be added to your RF session for $130–$150, boosting results and accelerating healing.

Q: What’s the difference between traditional microneedling and RF microneedling?
Both treatments stimulate collagen through micro-injuries in the skin, but RF microneedling takes it a step further by delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis. This adds a skin-tightening effect and is more effective for deeper wrinkles, acne scarring, and skin laxity.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
Traditional Microneedling: 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for best results.
RF Microneedling: Often just 3 sessions can deliver significant improvement, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Q: Is there any downtime?
Traditional Microneedling: Minimal downtime—mild redness and sensitivity for 1–2 days.
RF Microneedling: Slightly more downtime (2–4 days of redness and possible flaking), depending on intensity.
Q: Does it hurt?
We apply a medical-grade topical numbing cream before your treatment. Most clients report mild discomfort—more like pressure or heat during RF microneedling, and a scratching sensation during traditional microneedling.
Q: Can I wear makeup after?
Avoid makeup and active skincare (like retinoids or acids) for at least 24 hours post-treatment. We recommend mineral-based products once your skin has calmed. We will provide after-care to optimize your treatment results!
Q: What is Rejuran and should I add it on?
Rejuran the original salmon sperm treatement & skin-repairing injectable from Korea made of salmon DNA or polynucleotides (PDRN), known for reducing fine lines, redness, and inflammation. It’s an excellent booster for both microneedling options, especially if you’re focused on healing, skin barrier repair, or anti-aging.
Q: Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes! Traditional microneedling is safe for all skin tones. RF microneedling is also safe for darker skin types when performed by our trained providers at Ra Aesthetics because it targets deeper layers without damaging the surface.
