What does
RF Microneedling
target?

Acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, skin laxity, stretch marks, uneven texture, and patients who want collagen remodeling at a deeper level than surface treatments can reach. RF microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for long-term skin quality improvement.

How does
RF Microneedling
work?

Sterile micro-fine needles penetrate the skin to a controlled depth while delivering radiofrequency energy directly into the dermis. The combination of mechanical micro-injury and thermal energy triggers a robust collagen and elastin response. As the skin heals, new structural proteins replace damaged tissue, resulting in tighter, smoother, more even skin.

Why choose
RF Microneedling
at Better Med Spa?

RF microneedling is one of our most requested treatments because the results speak for themselves. Your provider adjusts needle depth and RF intensity based on your skin type and concerns during every session. No cookie-cutter settings. Lincoln Park, consultation first.

How much does RF Microneedling cost in Lincoln Park?

RF Microneedling at Better Med Spa starts from $650 per session. We offer a 3-session package at $1,755 (saving $195). Pricing varies by treatment area (face, neck, or décolletage). Ask about our membership program for additional savings. All pricing is transparent with no hidden fees.

What is the difference between RF Microneedling and regular microneedling?

Traditional microneedling (like SkinPen) uses fine needles to create micro-injuries that stimulate collagen. RF Microneedling adds radiofrequency energy delivered through the needles deep into the dermis, providing additional skin tightening and more dramatic collagen remodeling. RF Microneedling is especially effective for laxity, deeper wrinkles, and more pronounced scarring, while SkinPen is gentler and ideal for fine lines and general texture improvement.

How many RF Microneedling sessions will I need?

Most clients see best results with a series of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. You'll notice improvement after your first session, but collagen remodeling continues for several months. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation based on your skin concerns and goals.

Is RF Microneedling safe for all skin tones?

Yes, RF Microneedling is generally safe for a wide range of skin tones, including darker skin tones that may be more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation with other treatments. The RF energy is delivered beneath the skin surface, which reduces the risk of surface-level pigmentation changes. Your Better Med Spa provider will customize energy settings for your specific skin type.

What is the downtime after RF Microneedling?

Expect mild redness, warmth, and a 'tight' sensation for 24–72 hours after treatment — similar to a light sunburn. Most clients return to normal activities the next day. Makeup can typically be worn after 24–48 hours. Avoid direct sun, exfoliants, retinoids, and intense exercise for 2–3 days. Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions.

Past Client Experiences

"I have noticed a significant difference in the overall appearance of my skin and my friends and family have as well. I am excited to come in for follow-up sessions!"

"I came in 2 weeks ago for their Green Peel, which is a natural facial peel formulated with algae. It was my first time doing a skin peel so I was a bit anxious, but my tech Priscilla did a great job of informing me about the treatment throughout the process and about the aftercare."

"Overall - phenomenal experience. Staff from the estheticians to the front desk were so knowledgeable and kind."

"I got the Personalized Facial with a complimentary skin consultation with Xia. And it was so beyond amazing. This was by far one of the most intensive facials that I have ever gotten and I loved how much attention to detail Xia had throughout our entire session."

Signature from Annie Y.

"Outstanding service and spa."

"The Glass Facial was amazing. They specialize in Korean Beauty and only use products gentle for your skin unlike many Western treatments. My skin looks great even days later. I still have a glow and glass look with just simple skin care and moisturizing like I normally do. I definitely recommend this salon and suggest you try the K-Beauty services!"

Signature from Ashley R.

"This is definitely a place I trust and will keep coming back to for my future skincare treatments. Plus, reasonable price! Highly recommended!"

"It has been a month since I got Rejuran, and at least six people have complimented my skin since then! Izzy is amazing, her technique is professional and surprisingly painless, but what impressed me the most is her sense of aesthetics. She really listened to what I wanted, communicated actively with me, and confirmed everything carefully until I felt completely comfortable."

Signature from Yuxin Z.

"The spa was clean, relaxing, and welcoming. My skin feels so smooth and fresh, and I left glowing."

"I had my very first facial today with Hailey and it was such a great experience! I booked the aromatherapy, dermaplaning, glass skin facial, and LED light treatment, and she walked me through every step so I felt comfortable the whole time. She made sure I was comfortable and explained what each product was doing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!"

Signature from Gabrielle B.

"My esthetician was incredibly nice and took the time to explain the entire process to me, which really put me at ease.

"Grace did a fantastic job. I don't have anything to compare it with, but the full service felt amazing. I was surprised by the number of steps included and how involved it ended up being. Head massage, facial massage, neck and shoulder massage, forearm and hand massage, all while working through multiple steps of the facial cleanse and treatment process. It was great. I'll be back again."

RF Microneedling in Lincoln Park, Chicago

Better Med Spa & Wellness offers advanced RF Microneedling at our Lincoln Park location, 2117 N Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60614. This breakthrough skin rejuvenation treatment combines micro-fine needles with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen deep within the dermis - tightening, smoothing, and revitalizing your skin from the inside out. We serve clients from Lincoln Park, Old Town, Lakeview, Bucktown, River North, West Loop, and the Gold Coast.

How RF Microneedling Works

RF Microneedling merges two proven technologies: precision microneedling and radiofrequency energy. As the device creates tiny controlled channels in the skin's surface, it simultaneously delivers RF energy deep into the dermis, heating underlying tissues to activate your body's natural collagen and elastin production.

This dual-action process triggers a powerful healing response that tightens and firms skin, smooths texture, and refines tone — all with minimal downtime. Most clients see visible improvement after their first session, with optimal results building over a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

What RF Microneedling Treats

RF Microneedling effectively addresses a wide range of skin concerns:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles: Stimulate collagen to fill in and soften lines from the inside out
  • Acne scars: Break down scar tissue and promote smoother, more even skin
  • Enlarged pores: Tighten pore walls for a refined, polished texture
  • Skin laxity: Firm and tighten loose or crepey skin without surgery
  • Uneven texture and tone: Resurface and rejuvenate dull, rough skin
  • Sun damage and pigmentation: Improve tone and reduce discoloration
  • Stretch marks: Reduce the appearance of stretch marks on the body

RF Microneedling vs. SkinPen Microneedling: Which Is Right for You?

Both treatments use micro-fine needles to stimulate collagen, but they work differently:

RF Microneedling

  • Technology: Microneedles + radiofrequency energy
  • Depth: Delivers RF energy deep into the dermis
  • Best for: Skin tightening, laxity, deeper wrinkles, and more pronounced scarring
  • Results: More dramatic lifting and firming effects
  • Downtime: 2–4 days of mild redness
  • Price: From $650/session

SkinPen Microneedling

  • Technology: Traditional microneedling (needles only, no heat)
  • Depth: Creates micro-channels for collagen stimulation
  • Best for: Fine lines, mild acne scars, enlarged pores, and overall texture improvement
  • Results: Gentler improvement with less intensity
  • Downtime: 1–2 days of mild redness
  • Price: Starting at a lower price point

Many clients start with SkinPen Microneedling for general texture improvement, then graduate to RF Microneedling when they want more aggressive tightening and lifting results. Your provider will recommend the best option during your consultation.

What to Expect During Your RF Microneedling Appointment

Before treatment: A prescription-strength topical numbing cream is applied for 30–45 minutes to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

During treatment (30–45 minutes): Your provider uses the RF microneedling device across the treatment area, delivering controlled RF energy through ultra-fine needles. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, prickly feeling — very tolerable with numbing.

After treatment: Expect mild redness and warmth (like a light sunburn) for 24–72 hours. Most clients feel comfortable returning to normal activities the next day. Avoid direct sun, active skincare products, and heavy makeup for 48 hours.

Results timeline: Initial glow within 1–2 weeks. Significant improvements in texture, firmness, and tone build over 2–3 months as new collagen matures. Optimal results after completing a full series of 3–6 sessions.
