RF Microneedling
If your skin could use a refresh—from softening fine lines to tightening laxity or improving texture—RF Microneedling delivers powerful, science-backed rejuvenation. It’s one of our favorite ways to stimulate collagen, restore elasticity, and refine the skin—all with minimal downtime and maximum glow.
At aNu, we pair medical-grade microneedling with advanced radiofrequency (RF) energy to accelerate your skin’s natural healing response and deliver real, regenerative results.
What Is RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling combines two powerful technologies—microneedling and radiofrequency—to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin while delivering deep thermal energy to the underlying tissue. The result is collagen and elastin remodeling at a deeper level than traditional microneedling alone.
The treatment improves:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Skin laxity (especially around the jawline, neck, and eyes)
Uneven texture and tone
Acne scars and surgical scars
Enlarged pores
Stretch marks
What to Expect
RF Microneedling is performed in-office by one of our experienced providers and begins with numbing to keep you comfortable throughout the session. A specialized handpiece creates microchannels in the skin while delivering targeted RF energy to boost tightening, circulation, and collagen regeneration.
Treatment time: 30–60 minutes
Downtime: 1–3 days of mild redness or sensitivity
Results: Visible skin improvements within 1–2 weeks, with continued collagen production for 3–6 months
Recommended series: 3–6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart for best results
Your Options at aNu
We offer two RF Microneedling devices and protocols, including:
Morpheus8 RF Microneedle
When collagen declines and skin concerns start to surface, Morpheus8 RF Microneedling offers a powerful, non-surgical solution to tighten, tone, and transform your skin—from head to toe.
Morpheus8 uses advanced radiofrequency microneedling technology to target deeper layers of skin and fat, remodeling tissue for a smoother, firmer, more youthful look. It’s especially effective for sagging skin, stretch marks, acne scars, uneven tone, enlarged pores, and even stubborn areas like jowls, bra fat, and cellulite.
At aNu, your treatment is performed using medical-grade tools in a clean, state-of-the-art environment by our expertly trained providers. We’ll walk you through the process, answer your questions, and personalize your experience—so you feel informed, empowered, and beautifully renewed.

Although both traditional microneedling and Morpheus8 RF microneedling are used for improving the appearance of acne scarring, wrinkles, skin laxity, and other skin issues, the latter utilizes the fine needles to deliver radio frequency (RF energy) to the subdermal layers for better results. This allows the body to produce collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin more quickly than regular microneedling procedures. Morpheus8 RF microneedling treatments are also combined with other body sculpting treatments to achieve the best results.
-
Morpheus8 RF microneedling is a safe and effective skin tightening treatment that works on any skin type and tone. Some patients might experience mild swelling, redness, and flaky skin in the treated area, but they usually subside or improve after a few days. Others may also experience worse side effects like blisters, hyperpigmentation, and scarring, which is why it’s important to find an experienced provider to help avoid these side effects.
-
Procedure time for a Morpheus8 RF microneedling treatment usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Some patients only need one treatment, but most people require additional treatments that are performed 3-4 weeks apart to see significant improvements on their skin. The results typically start showing after 2-3 weeks since the body takes time to heal and produce more collagen.
-
Morpheus8 can be used anywhere on the body that would benefit from skin renewal. The most commonly treated areas include: lower eyelid, upper eyelid, smile lines, forehead, cheeks, mouth and neck. Face and body areas that exhibit wrinkles, discoloration or acne scarring are also suitable for treatment.
-
Depending on your needs and goals, you can expect to have between one and six sessions.
-
Treatments are performed in our office using a local anesthetic. Because pain tolerance is highly individual, the staff will tailor the approach to ensure your comfort – both during and after the procedure.
-
RF Microneedle energy is a scientifically proven method that reduces wrinkles and skin laxity. It’s minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro-pins and RF energy to resurface and restore the skin, providing exceptional skin tightening and rejuvenating results with almost no patient downtime.
-
Since patient downtime is minimal, makeup can be applied one to two days after the treatment. Patients should expect to see micro lesions a few days after treatment and slight redness for up to one week depending on treatment parameters.
-
Patients should moisturize the treatment area, avoid direct sun exposure and use a good, broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Vivace RF Microneedle
Vivace takes microneedling a step further by delivering RF energy into the deeper layers of the skin through gold-tipped needles. It’s an ideal choice for treating:
Acne scars and pitted skin
Fine lines and early signs of aging
Uneven skin tone and texture
Mild to moderate skin laxity (especially around the jawline and neck)
Vivace treatments are virtually pain-free, require minimal downtime, and are safe for all skin types. It’s one of the few microneedling treatments that truly combines power with precision.
-
Although both treatments are used for skin tightening and anti-aging, the main difference between Vivace RF microneedling and the classic skin rejuvenation treatment is the use of radiofrequency energy. The heat energy from a microneedling with RF system procedure allows the body to create more collagen that’s important in producing new and healthy skin cells.
-
This cosmetic procedure is a safe and effective treatment that works on every skin type, as long as it’s performed by an experienced dermatologist or medical professional. It only requires minimal downtime, which is why patients may return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment. Some patients may experience common side effects like redness, pain, and swelling during the recovery time, but these symptoms usually subside after a few days. Make sure to contact a physician in case they worsen or persist.
-
Most patients require 3-4 treatments of microneedling with Vivace RF treatments to achieve optimal results. Some patients might require additional sessions depending on their skin condition and treatment goals. The skin takes time to heal and produces more collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin, which is why patients may only notice significant improvement after a few weeks
