Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a go-to treatment for smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Combining traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy stimulates collagen production deep within the skin, resulting in noticeable improvements in skin texture, tone, elasticity, and resilience.
However, many Dallas Center for Dermatology & Aesthetics patients don’t realize that RF microneedling treatments, such as Scarlet SRF or Agnes Precision RF, don’t have to work alone. Powerful RF microneedling can deliver even more dramatic results when combined with other nonsurgical procedures like chemical peels, intense pulsed light (IPL), and dermal fillers.
In this post, we’ll explore the benefits of these popular combinations and discuss how you can customize them to meet your unique skincare goals.
Combining RF Microneedling With Chemical Peels
Combining RF microneedling with a chemical peel can help tackle skin texture issues and surface discoloration, like sun spots or acne scars, in one treatment plan.
RF microneedling penetrates deeply into the dermis to stimulate collagen remodeling, firming the skin and improving the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. On the other hand, a chemical peel removes the outer layer of skin to reveal a brighter, more evenly toned complexion.
When used together, these treatments can:
- Improve uneven skin tone and pigmentation
- Minimize fine lines and acne scars
- Smooth out rough texture
- Brighten dull, tired-looking skin
Your provider may recommend spacing the treatments a few weeks apart to allow your skin to heal fully and respond to each step of the process.
Combining RF Microneedling With IPL
Pairing RF microneedling with intense pulsed light (IPL) is especially popular for those looking to address signs of sun damage and redness, in addition to fine lines and textural concerns.
While RF microneedling focuses on firming the skin and improving texture, IPL is ideal for treating:
- Broken capillaries and redness from rosacea
- Brown spots and sun damage
- Uneven pigmentation
IPL delivers light energy to the skin to break up unwanted pigment and improve clarity. When combined with RF microneedling, patients often notice brighter, clearer skin with improved firmness and texture.
This combination is perfect for patients seeking comprehensive skin rejuvenation without downtime from surgery or aggressive lasers.
Combining RF Microneedling With Dermal Fillers
If you want to restore lost volume in the cheeks, under eyes, or around the mouth, pairing RF microneedling with dermal fillers offers a two-fold approach to facial rejuvenation.
- RF microneedling tightens and lifts sagging skin by promoting new collagen production.
- Fillers restore volume to hollow areas and smooth deep folds or wrinkles.
This combination delivers structure and fullness, creating a more refreshed, youthful appearance that still looks natural. Typically, your provider will perform RF microneedling first, allowing the skin to heal before strategically placing dermal fillers for optimal results. Popular filler choices include JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® products, depending on your needs.
