Services Matrix Pro RF Microneedling
Microneedling paired with radiofrequency energy for a more advanced collagen response.
Book Consultation
Matrix Pro RF Microneedling starts with the same fine, sterile needles used in traditional microneedling, creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries that prompt your skin to repair itself with fresh collagen and elastin. What sets it apart is the radiofrequency (RF) energy delivered through the needle tips at the same time — adding a precise, controlled heating component at depth that further stimulates collagen remodeling beyond what needling alone achieves.
That combination of mechanical micro-injury and thermal energy is why Matrix Pro is often recommended for concerns tied to skin firmness and laxity specifically, in addition to the texture and tone improvements standard microneedling is known for. Needle depth and RF energy settings are both adjusted to your skin and the concern you’re working on.
If you’re weighing Matrix Pro against our standard microneedling treatment, we’ll talk through the difference and help you decide which is the better fit for your skin and goals at your consultation.
Needling & radiofrequency energy in one treatment
Added thermal energy for deeper collagen stimulation
Some redness & swelling for a day or two afterward
Results build with a series, spaced weeks apart
The added radiofrequency energy makes Matrix Pro a common choice for concerns tied to firmness, in addition to the texture benefits of standard microneedling.
The added radiofrequency energy targets deeper collagen remodeling, which can make a visible difference for fine lines tied to loss of firmness.

Combining needling with RF heat can soften the look of pitted or textured acne scarring more than needling alone for some patients.

Here’s the honest rundown of what a treatment day, recovery, and a full plan actually look like.
A topical numbing cream is applied first for comfort, then the Matrix Pro device passes over the treatment area, delivering both the needling and radiofrequency energy together in controlled passes. Depth and energy settings are dialed in to your skin and goals.
Session length: ~30–60 minBecause RF adds a thermal element on top of the needling, expect a bit more redness and mild swelling than standard microneedling for a day or two afterward. Most patients are comfortable returning to normal activities shortly after, with makeup usually fine the following day.
Recovery: A day or two of redness/swellingBecause results come from your own skin’s collagen response, improvement builds gradually over the weeks following each session rather than appearing all at once. A series of sessions spaced weeks apart is standard for visible, lasting results.
Recovery: Ongoing, spaced sessions
Standard microneedling relies on the needling alone to trigger collagen production. Matrix Pro adds radiofrequency energy delivered through the needle tips, which brings a thermal component into the mix and stimulates a more advanced collagen response — often making it a better fit for concerns tied to skin firmness and laxity specifically.
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, so most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure, tingling, or warmth from the RF energy rather than pain.
It depends on your goals, but a series of sessions spaced weeks apart is standard for visible, lasting improvement, since results build gradually as your skin produces new collagen.
Because RF adds a thermal element on top of the needling, expect a bit more redness and mild swelling than standard microneedling for about a day or two. Most patients are comfortable returning to normal activities shortly after.
It’s most commonly used on the face, but can be adapted to other areas depending on your goals. We’ll map out a treatment plan for your specific concerns at a consultation.
Results build gradually as your skin produces new collagen over the weeks following each session, rather than appearing immediately. Most patients continue to see improvement with each session in a series.
