How we approach it

Radiofrequency energy delivered through insulated needles heats the deeper skin, encouraging it to tighten and remodel. It is the treatment we recommend for early jowling, neck laxity, and acne scarring that regular microneedling has not resolved. It is more involved, more effective, and priced accordingly.

Often a good fit for

• Early jawline and neck laxity
• Deeper acne scarring
• Skin that has lost its snap
• Body areas like the abdomen and knees

Things we will discuss first

• Metal implants in the area and pacemakers rule it out
• Tanned skin should wait
• A series is usually needed for a clear result
• You must be 18 or older. Results vary, and a consultation is required before any treatment.

The visit

1. Consultation. Complimentary, 30 minutes, with the person who would treat you. You leave with a written plan and total.
2. Treatment. About 75 minutes. Numbing where it helps, photographs with your consent, aftercare in writing.
3. Follow-up. A two-week check for injectables, with adjustments at no charge. Skin and laser series are planned on a calendar with you.
