Is It Safe to Combine Microneedling and Radiofrequency? What You Should Know

When it comes to skin rejuvenation, RF Microneedling has become one of the most effective and popular non-surgical treatments. But many patients wonder—is it safe to combine microneedling with radiofrequency energy? According to Melissa Rubin-Swelim, FNP, a certified Family Nurse Practitioner at MDCS Dermatology, the answer is yes. In fact, this combination can significantly enhance results when performed by experienced professionals.

How RF Microneedling Works

Microneedling involves creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, which improves texture, tone, and firmness. When radiofrequency (RF) energy is added, heat is delivered into the deeper dermal layers, tightening collagen fibers and triggering further regeneration. The result? Smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.

Why Combining RF and Microneedling Is Safe

When performed under professional supervision, combining microneedling with RF energy is both safe and effective. At MDCS Dermatology, the procedure is customized to your skin type, condition, and sensitivity level to minimize any risk of irritation or hyperpigmentation. The advanced technology used ensures controlled depth and temperature, protecting the skin’s surface while maximizing collagen stimulation.
