RF microneedling at MDCS Dermatology with Estelle Hixon, PA-C targets acne scars by stimulating collagen, improving skin texture, and evening tone. Safe, minimally invasive, and effective for smoother, rejuvenated skin with minimal downtime.

Acne scars can leave a lasting impact on your skin and confidence, but MDCS Dermatology offers advanced treatments to help restore smooth, even skin. Estelle Hixon, PA-C specializes in RF microneedling, a minimally invasive procedure designed to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of scars.

What is RF Microneedling?
RF (Radiofrequency) microneedling combines tiny needles with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. This dual action:

  • Smooths acne scars

  • Improves skin tone and texture

  • Tightens and rejuvenates the skin

Unlike traditional microneedling, RF energy reaches deeper layers, offering more noticeable results for patients struggling with scarring.

Benefits of RF Microneedling

  • Reduces the appearance of icepick, rolling, and boxcar scars

  • Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production

  • Minimally invasive with short recovery time

  • Can be combined with other treatments for enhanced results

Patients typically see progressive improvement over several sessions, leaving skin smoother and healthier-looking.
