How Microneedling Works
By itself, microneedling can create skin-rejuvenating results. However, the Morpheus8 or Exion RF microneedling device heats tissues to stimulate even more collagen production.
Radiofrequency heat, delivered through tiny needles, breaks hydrogen bonds in collagen fibers, making them tighter. Fibroblasts, which contribute to the production of connective tissue such as collagen, help organize tightened and newly formed collagen into firmer structures, resulting in an improved skin appearance.
Treatment Highlights
Microneedling helps to create youthful and lasting outcomes for the face. The device firms, tightens, and re-textures facial tissues. The Morpheus8 or Exion RF device improves on this process by targeting the deeper layers of skin with radiofrequency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Microneedling
The effectiveness of Morpheus8 or Exion RF microneedling unfolds gradually as the treatment triggers your body’s natural process of collagen production and skin tightening. Commonly, Morpheus8 or Exion RF microneedling results can last between 1 and 3 years.
Generally, clients can expect improved tightening and tone after their first session on facial tissues such as on the cheeks or forehead. For deeper concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring, results are more subtle at first as collagen restructuring begins around 3 weeks after treatment.
A series of 3-4 microneedling treatments are recommend for best results. Final result is 3 months after last treatment.
Understanding Microneedling
Microneedling revitalizes your skin by kickstarting collagen production and enhancing your skin’s natural healing abilities. During your treatment, we glide a device with tiny fine needles across your skin creating a series of controlled micro-injuries. These tiny holes prompt your body to produce fresh collagen and elastin.
Pre-Treatment
New Med Spa recommends preparing for your treatment by hydrating well, moisturizing your skin, and communicating any medical conditions to your provider.
Things to Do:
- Drink plenty of water, and keep your skin moisturized.
- Relay any medical conditions and medications you’re on to your provider.
- Take antiviral medication 1 day prior if you suffer from cold-sore blisters.
Things to Avoid:
- Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and other NSAIDs
- Stay out of tanning beds, and minimize sun exposure.
- Don’t wear makeup, lotions, or perfumes to your session.
Post-Treatment
New Med Spa suggests following a gentle skincare routine and avoiding activities that could irritate the skin to ensure the best healing possible.
Things to Do:
- Wash the treated area gently 3 to 4 times a day using mild cleansers.
- Apply a thin layer of healing ointment and use an ice pack to reduce swelling.
- When sleeping, use 2 to 3 pillows to elevate your head.
Things to Avoid:
- Avoid prolonged sun exposure or tanning beds for at least 2 weeks after treatment.
- Avoid hot baths, massage, and exfoliants for the first 2 days after treatment.
- Do not scratch or touch the tiny scabs. Allow these to heal and shed naturally.
RF Microneedling vs. Microneedling
Both RF microneedling and traditional microneedling effectively stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin, but they differ in how they achieve results.
Traditional microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, which triggers the body’s natural healing process.
RF Microneedling, on the other hand, combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, delivering heat deep into the skin. This offers more dramatic results, especially for deeper wrinkles, scars, and skin laxity. Our Morpheus8 or Exion RF microneedling devices allow us to create thorough, effective outcomes for our microneedling clients.
Morpheus8 or Exion RF Device
Morpheus8 uses minimally invasive bipolar radiofrequency (RF) and Exion RF uses monopolar radiofrequency to treat tissue, offering heating and healing of your skin. These devices feature interchangeable microneedling tips, allowing for customizable fractional treatments. For body treatments, Morpheus8 and Exion RF Body can deliver radiofrequency up to 8mm improving collagen and elasticity to arms, abdomen and thighs.
