RF microneedling combines the power of microneedling with radiofrequency energy to deeply stimulate collagen, tighten lax skin, and refine texture and tone. Experience firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin with this advanced skin rejuvenation treatment.
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.
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.
We believe in transparent pricing so you know exactly what to expect:

RF Microneedling
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
