What Is 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.
What Are the Benefits of RF Microneedling?
This innovative treatment at Premier Laser + Skin is ideal for Lake Oswego, OR-area patients seeking a comprehensive solution to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness. RF microneedling combines the collagen-boosting effects of traditional microneedling with the added benefits of radiofrequency energy to present the following benefits:
- Tightens and firms sagging skin by stimulating deep layers with radiofrequency energy
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, more youthful appearance
- Improves the appearance of acne scars and other types of scars
- Enhances skin texture and minimizes enlarged pores
- Treats hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
- Boosts collagen and elastin production for long-term skin health
- Provides noticeable results with minimal downtime
- Customizable to target specific skin concerns for different areas of the face and body
Who Is a Candidate for RF Microneedling?
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
How Does RF Microneedling Work?
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.

I would absolutely recommend the Petroff Center Plastic Surgery and Medi-Spa. Everything, from my consultation to the surgery and post appointments, was handled very professionally and efficiently. I felt like the staff truly cared and made my experience a good one.
I was nervous to go to surgery and to see the doctor at first but everyone was very kind and and made the process so easy and quick and very comfortable I was very much put at ease
After traveling overseas in a very dry climate, I was so happy to have my skin treated to a hydrafacial with Karli. I felt so rejuvenated and my skin was totally glowing from within. If you feel like your skin is a bit dull, I highly suggest this facial. All the gals at Petroff are superb. Go ahead and book it. I’m certain you’ll love it!

How Long Do RF Microneedling Results Last?
Patients undergoing RF microneedling treatments at Premier Laser + Skin 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.
