Does RF microneedling Hurt? 

One common question many individuals have when considering RF microneedling is - does it hurt? The answer is, it varies from person to person. RF microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. 

During the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to provide optimal comfort. This helps to minimize any discomfort that may be experienced during the treatment. 

While some individuals may feel slight discomfort or a sensation of heat during the procedure, many find the discomfort to be manageable and well worth the potential benefits of RF microneedling. The sensation is often described as a mild tingling or pricking feeling. 

If you are concerned about discomfort during the procedure, be sure to discuss this with our providers. They can provide you with more information about what to expect and ways to manage any discomfort that may arise. 

Overall, RF microneedling is a safe and effective procedure for improving skin tone and texture. With the use of a topical numbing cream, many individuals find the procedure to be a comfortable experience with minimal discomfort.

I am a very low-maintenance person and am usually taking care of my kids’ needs before my own. But! I received a Hydrafacial at Tulua and it was AMAZING! My skin felt buttery soft afterward and had a natural, dewy glow. Since the facial, my skin looks plumper (I think that’s how you describe it 🤪). I will be getting another Hydrafacial in the near future. This is going to be one thing that I’m going to make into a routine for me!
