Frequently Asked Questions
What is microneedling RF?
Microneedling is a popular cosmetic treatment that creates tiny tears in the surface layer of your skin to activate your skin’s natural healing process. The injuries stimulate skin cell turnover and the production of collagen, which is the protein responsible for your skin’s strength and elasticity.
Radiofrequency energy delivers heat to the deeper layers of your skin, tightens the cells, and stimulates collagen production.
With microneedling RF, your aesthetic expert uses a special microneedling tool that contains insulated needles. When these needles penetrate the surface of your skin, they deliver radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of your skin.
What does microneedling RF treat?
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Saggy, droopy skin
- Acne scars
- Enlarged pores
- Stretch marks
- Sun damage
Microneedling RF is safe for all skin types and can be used on many parts of the body, including the face, abdomen, and thighs.
What happens during microneedling RF treatments?
To minimize discomfort during treatment, your provider first applies a numbing cream to your skin. They then apply the microneedling RF tool to your skin to get the desired results.
The length of your treatment depends on your specific beauty needs and goals but typically takes less than an hour.
What happens after microneedling RF treatments?
There’s no downtime following your microneedling RF treatments, and you can resume your usual activities after your session.
You should notice a difference in your skin immediately following your session, with continued improvements over the next several weeks. The team at The Alternative Touch Wellness may recommend a series of microneedling RF sessions to get the best results.

- Body hair reduction
- Improvements in sun-damaged skin
- Fewer freckles
- Improvements in rosacea

- Varicose vein reduction

After IPL therapy, your skin is refreshed, rejuvenated, smoother, and more evenly toned.
How does IPL work?
IPL treatment works by emitting light energy into your skin, where it penetrates to the second skin layer.
Pigment cells absorb the energy, convert it to heat, and destroy unwanted skin pigment. The spots come to the surface of your skin and can eventually be brushed off to reveal your natural, gorgeous skin below.
What should I expect during the procedure?
During the procedure, your aesthetics specialist cleans your skin and rubs a cooling gel on it to enhance comfort. You wear special glasses to protect your eyes from the light.
Your provider applies light pulses to your skin using an IPL device. You might feel a sensation similar to that of rubber bands snapping against your skin. The session lasts about 20-30 minutes depending on the areas being treated.
What happens after IPL treatment?
Your provider might recommend a series of 3-6 treatments to help you achieve desirable skin rejuvenation results. Hair removal treatment might require additional sessions.
In addition, protect your skin from the sun using sunscreen with a sun protection factor, or SPF, of 30 or higher and use a daily moisturizer.
Don’t let age spots or other signs of sun damage make you feel less than beautiful. If you’re self-conscious about discoloration or spots, an IPL treatment can reduce their appearance and allow your confidence to return.
