Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF)

RF Microneedling In Athens

When it comes to skin resurfacing treatments, there are several to choose from on the market. In fact, we carry many of them at Blue Spiral Medical Spa. The Morpheus8 is a new treatment that combines two independent forms of rejuvenation into one powerful combination. 

Microneedling PLUS Radiofrequency! Yep, the Morpheus8 takes everything you love about microneedling and combines all those results with the additional benefit of radiofrequency.

By delivering radiofrequency energy through tiny microneedles, Morpheus8 penetrates deeper layers of the skin than microneedling alone—stimulating collagen production where it matters most. The result is tighter, smoother skin with improved texture, tone, and firmness. This powerful treatment is ideal for reducing fine lines, acne scars, and mild sagging on the face, neck, and body. At Blue Spiral MedSpa, we customize every session to your goals, ensuring a personalized experience that yields visible, lasting results. This innovative procedure helps you achieve smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin—all with minimal downtime. Discover the next level of non-surgical skin rejuvenation.

Radiofrequency (RF) Overview

At Blue Spiral MedSpa, we use advanced radiofrequency (RF) technology to tighten and lift the skin by stimulating natural collagen production. Gentle heat energy targets deep layers of tissue, improving firmness, elasticity, and overall tone.

Our Morpheus8 RF microneedling treatment enhances these results by remodeling both surface and deeper layers of skin—reducing sagging, smoothing texture, and refining contours. With minimal discomfort and no downtime, RF therapy is ideal for restoring youthful definition and glow.

Microneedling Overview

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural healing process to boost collagen and elastin production. The result: smoother texture, refined pores, and improved tone.

Performed with an FDA-cleared device, this quick, low-downtime procedure targets fine lines, acne scars, and early signs of aging on the face, neck, and décolletage.

For deeper rejuvenation, combining microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) enhances collagen remodeling—tightening skin and improving firmness for lasting, radiant results.

How Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF) Works

Microneedling with RF works by combining two technologies into one synergistic treatment. Using the Morpheus8 device, ultra-fine needles penetrate the skin and deliver controlled radiofrequency energy directly into the dermis. This dual action triggers a powerful healing response—mechanical stimulation from the needles plus thermal energy from RF—to remodel collagen, tighten connective tissue, and enhance skin structure. Unlike traditional microneedling, which focuses mainly on surface-level rejuvenation, RF microneedling addresses deeper layers for more pronounced lifting, firming, and smoothing results. It’s ideal for treating areas with mild to moderate skin laxity, acne scars, and uneven texture.

Benefits of Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF) Treatment

This dual-technology treatment delivers a wide range of benefits. It smooths fine lines, softens wrinkles, and enhances overall skin tone and texture. The addition of radiofrequency energy allows for deeper skin remodeling, improving firmness and contour in areas that show sagging or laxity. It’s also highly effective in minimizing acne scars, enlarged pores, and stretch marks. At Blue Spiral MedSpa, we customize every treatment to your goals, helping you achieve visibly lifted, revitalized skin with minimal downtime and natural-looking results that continue to improve over time.

What Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF) Treats

Microneedling with Radiofrequency effectively treats multiple areas of the body—not just the face. Clients often choose microneedling with RF to tighten loose skin on the arms, abdomen, thighs, or knees. It’s also a great option for reducing textural irregularities or firming sagging skin along the jawline or neck. Because the treatment is adjustable, it can be customized to match your skin’s unique needs and recovery expectations.

Microneedling for All Skin Types

Microneedling is a safe, effective treatment for all skin types and tones. It targets multiple skin concerns by stimulating collagen and elastin production to naturally restore smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

Common skin concerns improved with microneedling include:

  • Fine lines & wrinkles: Smooths and firms by boosting collagen and elastin.
  • Acne scars: Reduces scarring by promoting new skin cell growth.
  • Hyperpigmentation: Evens skin tone and fades dark spots.
  • Large pores: Refines skin texture and minimizes pore size.
  • Sun damage: Rejuvenates skin by encouraging new collagen formation.

Aftercare:
Following your microneedling treatment, our experts will provide simple aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results—such as avoiding sun exposure, using gentle skincare, and moisturizing regularly. Most clients resume their normal routine within just a few days.

At Blue Spiral MedSpa in Athens, GA, microneedling is a trusted, non-invasive way to improve skin tone, texture, and overall radiance—helping you look refreshed and confident.

Microneedling and Radiofrequency (RF) Combined

Morpheus8 takes both of these amazing treatments and combines them into one power-packed treatment. 

During a Morpheus8 treatment, a device with tiny needles is used to create the “micro-injuries” in the skin mentioned above. 

Radiofrequency energy is then delivered through the needles, heating the deeper layers of the skin and stimulating collagen production. 

The heat also helps to tighten and tone the skin, resulting in a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance.

Morpheus8 treatments are generally well tolerated and have little downtime, with some patients experiencing mild redness or swelling following the procedure. 

The full effects of the microneedling radiofrequency treatment continue to develop over several weeks or months as the collagen continues to grow and the skin continues to heal.

Before, During, and After

What To Expect Before a Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF) Treatment

Before your treatment, you’ll meet with one of our expert aesthetic providers for a comprehensive consultation. We’ll assess your skin concerns, review your medical history, and customize a treatment plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals. You may be advised to avoid certain skincare products (like retinol) and sun exposure in the days leading up to your session.

What To Expect During a Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF) Treatment

On the day of your appointment, a topical numbing cream will be applied to ensure comfort. The Morpheus8 device is then passed over the treatment area, delivering microneedles and RF energy simultaneously. The entire session typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

What To Expect After a Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF) Treatment

Following treatment, mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity may occur—similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within 24 to 48 hours. You’ll receive aftercare instructions to support healing, including gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and avoiding sun exposure. Most clients return to their normal activities within 1-2 days.

Results improve gradually as collagen builds, with full results visible within 2 to 3 months.
