About RF Microneedling
Our esthetician's use the minimally invasive PiXel8-RF to perform radiofrequency (RF) microneedling under the direction of Mark Petroff, MD. This device produced outstanding results for patients seeking smoother, softer skin. RF remedies have existed for a number of years and are popular in the cosmetic industry for skin tightening. This specific type of treatment incorporates heat to encourage the creation of collagen in the deeper layers of the skin and creates a more even, smoother surface. PiXel8-RF microneedling may be used in conjunction with other facial treatments to optimize end results and speed the healing process. At Premier Laser + Skin, we frequently add this new process to our Lake Oswego, OR patient's skin treatments to produce firmer skin, a much smoother texture, and a glowing complexion.
Ideal Candidates
Patients who are 40 years of age or older and are starting to notice age spots, discoloration, wrinkles, fine lines, and other skin flaws (including sunlight exposure) may be ideal candidates for treatment with the nonsurgical PiXel8-RF protocol. RF microneedling is a wonderful choice for those who want to:
- Tighten the skin, producing a more refreshed appearance
- Boost skin feel, tone, and pigment
- Heal skin imperfections, like blood vessels and discoloration
- Minimize the appearance of age spots and sun damage
- Treat acne scars and other forms of scarring
- Create a smoother look and feel for the skin
- Rejuvenate the skin for a younger, more luminous look
What to Expect
RF microneedling sessions take place inside the Premier Laser + Skin facility and begin with the application of a topical numbing cream to help minimize any discomfort. During the procedure, the handpiece will be directed over the target area, repeating the process until the desired results have been reached. Patients should anticipate minute pinpoint scabs to appear within 24 – 72 hours after treatment, which will naturally shed when the inherent skin has recovered. However, the PiXel8-RF process generally requires very little downtime. While some patients notice smoother, softer skin after the initial RF microneedling procedure, the results typically become visible as the skin heals over the next few weeks. To optimize outcomes, a series of up to four treatments may be completed about 3 – 4 weeks apart.
Petroff Center Plastic Surgery and Medi-Spa Reviews
I had the most wonderful experience with Dr. Petroff and everyone I met at the Petroff center! I had wanted a rhinoplasty for years and Dr. Petroff explained the whole process to me and listened to what I was hoping to get out of it. I felt completely informed and supported the entire time. Pre and post surgery I felt safe and taken care of. They also checked up on me constantly after surgery and made sure I was doing well. I am so happy with how my nose turned out and forever thankful to Dr. Petroff and his team!
I have received care from Dr. Petroff at the Petroff Center (facial surgery) and Melissa at Premier (laser skin treatments at the medi-spa side of the center). My experiences exceeded all expectations, and as someone who has seen many healthcare providers, the attention to detail and level of care provided at the Petroff Center is unmatched. The entire team is friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and supportive, and so quick to respond to questions. Dr. Petroff was thoughtful and open during our initial meeting and consultation, and helped me understand what realistic expectations could look like. He is highly skilled, and the results of my surgery were above and beyond what I expected. For me, the care I’ve received at the Petroff Center/Premier has been life-changing, and while I always hope that internal beauty and character trumps the importance of physical appearance, most of us do care deeply about how we look. Dr. Petroff and his team were able to make incredible changes to my two primary sources of insecurity (a core facial feature and skin-related challenges) and they are now two of my favorite things about my appearance. This has exponentially increased my quality of life. The Petroff Center is truly a world-class practice, with an incredible and skilled team of professionals, beautiful and impeccably maintained offices and facilities, and the best care and service. They think of every detail and make themselves fully available for questions and concerns. I would recommend the Petroff Center to anyone seeking support of the types they offer. They’re wonderful!
Always a welcome place and the best. Love coming to the Petroff center Yes, always welcome
My first encounter with Petroff Center was in 2011. As Mother of the Bride I wanted to look my best. Fast forward to 2024, I desired to have my face and neck improved for a more youthful appearance. Dr Petroff and staff provide a “First Class Experience.” I am a OR RN of 20 + years and most important to me was having the best surgeon and staff in an accredited surgery center. Dr Petroff is a gifted and talented world class surgeon. Patients are fortunate to have him practice here in the Pacific NW. Dr Petroff is humble in manner and good listener to his patients and their expectations. Staff from anesthesia, nurses and office are outstanding and the entire experience is well orchestrated and executed. For the best experience in achieving your desired expectations,I highly recommend Petroff Center!
Laser hair removal- My experience with Kasey was great. She is so nice and professional. It is a very clean and friendly environment. I have tried laser hair removal at a different esthetics spa and after 1 treatment at Petroff it was already so much more effective than the other spa. Highly recommend laser hair removal at Petroff with Kasey!

Procedure Technique
The nonsurgical PiXel8-RF microneedling procedure method is quite easy. The handheld device, which emits bi-polar radiofrequency energy, works by delivering brief bursts of RF energy and heat deep within the layers of the skin through microneedles. This process stimulates the production of collagen and regenerates elastin while offering hemostatic and tissue coagulation effects. The size of the microneedles and energy transmitted through them can be customized to meet the needs of each patient.
Rejuvenate Your Face
If you're looking to reduce the look of aging or sun-damaged skin and reduce laxity, acne scars, or wrinkles, PiXel8-RF microneedling is a great treatment with proven outcomes. The combination of bi-polar radiofrequency energy and microneedling has created this outstanding skin repair procedure, which has increased in popularity and continues to be a top-rated, minimally invasive treatment for our Lake Oswego, OR patients. We invite you to contact Premier Laser + Skin to learn more.
