When it comes to non-surgical skin rejuvenation, microneedling has long been a go-to treatment. But what if you could supercharge its results? At CGO Med Aesthetic in San Diego, we offer RF microneedling, a powerful evolution of traditional microneedling that combines the collagen-boosting benefits of fine needles with the skin-tightening power of radiofrequency (RF) energy.
This advanced treatment is ideal for those looking to take their skincare to the next level—with smoother skin, fewer wrinkles, reduced acne scars, and improved firmness, all with minimal downtime.
What Is RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling, also known as radiofrequency microneedling, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process. What sets it apart from traditional microneedling is the addition of RF energy, which is delivered deep into the dermis through the microneedles.
This energy heats the skin’s deeper layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production more effectively and promoting tighter, more youthful-looking skin—all without surgery.
RF Microneedling vs. Traditional Microneedling
While both traditional and RF microneedling promote collagen production and improve skin texture, RF microneedling goes a step further. It delivers heat energy into the deeper layers of the skin, significantly enhancing the skin-tightening effects. As a result, RF microneedling provides more dramatic improvement in skin firmness and elasticity compared to traditional microneedling.
For concerns like acne scarring and fine lines, both treatments are beneficial, but RF microneedling generally achieves faster and more visible results. Traditional microneedling offers moderate wrinkle reduction and collagen stimulation, whereas RF microneedling significantly boosts both. And despite the increased effectiveness, RF microneedling maintains the same minimal downtime—making it a powerful yet convenient option for skin rejuvenation.
Top Benefits of RF Microneedling
1. Tighter, Firmer Skin
The RF energy stimulates the skin’s deeper layers, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin for visibly tighter and more lifted skin.
2. Smoother Skin Texture
Great for reducing the appearance of large pores, fine lines, and rough skin, RF microneedling helps refine and smooth your complexion.
3. Reduced Acne Scars & Hyperpigmentation
By promoting skin cell turnover and healing, RF microneedling can dramatically improve acne scarring, sun damage, and uneven skin tone.
4. Minimally Invasive with Minimal Downtime
Unlike laser treatments or surgery, RF microneedling is non-invasive, and most clients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.
5. Long-Lasting, Natural Results
Collagen continues to build for weeks after your treatment, meaning your results not only improve over time but also appear natural and youthful.

RF microneedling is suitable for all skin types and tones, making it an inclusive treatment for a wide range of skin concerns. It’s especially effective for individuals dealing with:
