Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that naturally restores smoother, firmer, and younger-looking skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production. At St. Johns Aesthetics in North Florida, our providers use advanced Microneedling and RF Microneedling (Radiofrequency Microneedling) technology to improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity, with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.

Microneedling RF (Radiofrequency Microneedling)
Deeper rejuvenation for tighter, smoother skin Microneedling RF combines traditional microneedling with controlled radio frequency heat energy to target the deeper layers of the skin. This advanced treatment amplifies collagen and elastin production, improves skin laxity, and reduces deep wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks. It’s safe for all skin types and delivers long-term tightening and texture improvement.
Microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body’s healing process and boosting collagen and elastin. The result is firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin.
What is RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling adds radiofrequency energy through the microneedles to heat the deeper layers of skin. This intensifies collagen remodeling, tightens skin, and reduces scars and wrinkles more effectively than standard microneedling.
What skin concerns can Microneedling treat?
Microneedling improves fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven tone, sun damage, enlarged pores, and overall skin laxity. RF Microneedling also helps treat deeper wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks.
How long does the procedure take?
Treatments typically last 30–60 minutes depending on the area. A series of at least 3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
When will I see results?
Collagen remodeling takes time—you’ll begin to see improvements within 3–6 months as new collagen forms. Results can last several months to over a year with good skincare and sun protection.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Skin may appear red or slightly swollen for 1–2 days, similar to a mild sunburn. Makeup can be applied after 48 hours. Most patients return to work the next day.
How should I prepare before my Microneedling treatment?
Avoid sun exposure and self-tanners for 1–2 weeks prior.
Discontinue retinol, Vitamin C, glycolic acid, or benzoyl peroxide for 3–5 days before treatment.
Stay hydrated and start Arnica 5–7 days before to minimize bruising.
Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and alcohol 2 weeks before (if medically safe).
Remove all makeup, lotions, or creams before treatment. If you’re prone to cold sores, ask about antiviral medication before your session.
What should I do after my Microneedling treatment?
Expect mild redness or a “sunburn” sensation for 1–2 days.
Use gentle cleansers like Cetaphil and avoid exfoliation.
Apply ice packs or cool compresses as needed.
Sleep with your head elevated if swelling occurs.
Avoid sun exposure and apply SPF 30 or higher daily.
Resume retinol or active skincare only once skin feels normal (usually 5 days). If you have questions, contact St. Johns Aesthetics at 904-710-0453.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients benefit from 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions every 12–18 months help preserve collagen growth and long-term results.
