Looking for RF microneedling in Richmond Hill? It combines microneedling with radiofrequency heat to rebuild collagen for acne scars, pores and firmness.
RF microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny channels in the skin while delivering radiofrequency heat beneath the surface. Together they trigger collagen and elastin production in the deeper layers.
Because the heat is delivered below the surface, it suits many skin tones and has less downtime than ablative laser.
RF microneedling is a core part of our cosmetic treatments and most acne scar plans. We often combine it with PRP to support healing. For stronger resurfacing on lighter skin, CO2 laser is an option; for gentle maintenance, Laser Genesis.
