Cutera RF Microneedling delivers superior skin rejuvenation by combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, tighten skin, and improve overall texture. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin with minimal downtime.
A typical session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Your provider will begin by cleansing the skin and applying a numbing cream to enhance comfort. The procedure itself takes about 20-40 minutes, after which post-treatment care instructions will be provided to ensure optimal healing and results.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort due to the application of a topical anesthetic before treatment. The sensation is often described as a warm, prickling feeling. Any minor redness or swelling that occurs afterward typically subsides within 24-48 hours, and patients can resume normal activities with minimal downtime.
While noticeable improvements can be seen after a single session, a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. Maintenance treatments may be suggested based on individual skin concerns and goals to sustain long-term benefits and collagen production.
Following treatment, mild redness and swelling are common, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a couple of days. Patients should avoid direct sun exposure and apply gentle skincare products. Over the next few weeks, collagen production increases, leading to improved skin tone, texture, and firmness.
