RF Microneedling has become one of the most talked-about skin treatments today. It promises smoother texture, tighter skin, and a refreshed glow, all without surgery. But here’s the truth: while the technology is powerful, it’s also incredibly precise. When handled incorrectly, the results can go from radiant to risky.
RF Microneedling works by creating micro-injuries in the skin and delivering radiofrequency (RF) energy deep into the dermis to trigger collagen production. But when the treatment is done with the wrong device, improper settings, or by an untrained provider, the skin can suffer instead of being strengthened.
Some of the most common complications include:
🔥Burns or Scarring: Too much RF heat or improper needle depth can overheat the skin.
⚠️Hyperpigmentation or Uneven Texture: Aggressive energy levels or skipping post-care can cause discoloration.
💧Inflammation or Infection: Non-sterile needles or poor aftercare can lead to irritation and prolonged redness.
😔Patchy or Uneven Results: Lack of technique and customization often causes inconsistent healing patterns.
RF Microneedling isn’t a one-size-fits-all procedure. The right energy level, needle depth, and number of passes depend on your skin type, tone, and concerns. When these factors aren’t properly assessed, even a small misstep can lead to visible damage.
At Jules Aesthetics, every RF Microneedling session starts with a personalized skin analysis. Dr. Jules tailors the energy levels and needle depth precisely to your skin’s condition, ensuring results that enhance, never harm. Because we don’t just treat your skin; we protect it.
