How is Different Than Traditional Microneedling?
Traditional microneedling works exclusively on the skin’s surface layer, creating micro-injuries to stimulate collagen through the body’s healing response. It is effective — but limited in depth and in the degree of structural remodeling it can achieve.
Cutera RF Microneedling goes significantly further. The addition of radiofrequency energy allows treatment to penetrate the deep layers of your dermis — the structural foundation of the skin — where traditional microneedling cannot reach. This deeper delivery of energy produces more pronounced collagen remodeling, greater tissue tightening, and longer-lasting results with the same minimal downtime.
In short: traditional microneedling treats the surface. Cutera RF Microneedling rebuilds the structure.
Cutera RF Microneedling is a clinically advanced, non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that rebuilds skin from the inside out. Using a precise combination of ultra-fine needles and radiofrequency energy, it stimulates collagen production at a structural level — delivering results that are deeper, longer-lasting, and more clinically significant than traditional microneedling alone. Safe for all skin types, with minimal downtime.
Cutera RF Microneedling — powered by the Secret™️ RF System — is a fractional radiofrequency microneedling treatment designed to address the most common skin concerns on the face and body. It combines two clinically proven mechanisms in a single treatment: the controlled micro-injury of microneedling and the deep tissue remodeling of radiofrequency energy.
What To Expect During Treatment
A topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Appointment typically take 30 to 60 minutes depending on the treatment area.
During the treatment, you may feel mild pressure and warmth. This sensation is well-tolerated by most clients.
Following treatment, mild redness and swelling are normal typically subside within a few days. Most clients resume normal activities immediately. Avoid retinols and exfoliants for five days pre and post treatment. Apply SPF daily to protect the skin during the healing process.
Visible improvements develop gradually over the following weeks as new collagen is produced. For optimal results, a series of three to four sessions spaced three to six weeks apart is reccomended. Your protocol will be personally determined by Dr.Stavile based on your individual skin assessment.

What is Cutera RF Microneedling?
Overview
How does Cutera RF Microneedling work ?
Ultra-fine needles create precise microchannels in the skin while radiofrequency energy is simultaneously delivered into the deeper layers of the dermis. This dual-action approach triggers two biological responses. First, the micro-injuries created by the needles activate the skin’s natural wound healing process, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. Second, the radiofrequency heat tightens existing collagen fibers and drives deeper dermal remodeling — reinforcing the skin’s structural foundation from within.
