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, 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.

Questions?

We're here to answer your questions and provide the best services for your needs.

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.
