Acne scars
Acne scarring and uneven texture are among the most common reasons patients choose RF microneedling. The treatment stimulates collagen remodeling, and scars soften gradually across a series.

RF Microneedling Results by Concern
RF microneedling before and after results depend on the concern and on how many sessions you complete. Start with the one closest to yours.
Jowls and jawline
Laxity along the jawline and cheeks is a core use for RF microneedling. Radiofrequency energy tightens and firms the deeper layers while collagen builds over the following months.
Neck
Crepey, loose neck skin responds to a series of RF treatments. Your provider will tell you honestly what improvement is realistic for your skin.
RF microneedling for fine lines, pores, and texture
Fine lines, enlarged pores, and rough texture improve as new collagen and elastin form, giving skin a smoother, more even look.
Stomach and stretch marks
RF microneedling can also be used on the body, including the stomach and stretch marks. Results build slowly and vary, so photos and a realistic plan matter here.
What to expect after a full series
Most plans use a series of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Final results continue to develop for three to six months after your last treatment.
Before you book
About RF Microneedling
RF microneedling combines two proven approaches. Fine needles create controlled micro-channels in the skin, and radiofrequency energy delivered through those channels heats the deeper layers to trigger new collagen and elastin.
The result is firmer, smoother skin over time. Grey Aesthetics offers RF microneedling for the full face, neck, chest, hands, and body, and can pair it with PRP or TriLift.

Questions
RF Microneedling questions, answered
What does RF microneedling before and after stretch marks look like?
+
Stretch marks tend to soften rather than vanish. RF microneedling stimulates collagen remodeling, results build slowly across a series, and they vary from person to person.
What does RF microneedling before and after look like?
+
RF microneedling results show smoother texture, softer acne scars, and firmer-looking skin along the jawline and cheeks. Changes build gradually because collagen keeps forming for months, so the final result is judged three to six months after your last treatment.
What does RF microneedling before and after 3 treatments look like?
+
Most plans use three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Many patients notice change along the way, and the full effect of the series continues to develop for three to six months after the last session.
What does RF microneedling before and after acne scars look like?
+
Yes, acne scarring is one of the main concerns it treats. RF microneedling stimulates collagen remodeling, and scars soften gradually across a series. Deep scars may soften rather than disappear, and your provider will set realistic expectations.
Can RF microneedling tighten the jawline, jowls, and neck?
+
It is used for laxity in the jawline, cheeks, and neck. Radiofrequency energy firms the deeper layers while collagen builds. If your laxity is more advanced, your provider will tell you honestly whether it is the right option or whether something else would serve you better.
What does RF microneedling before and after neck look like?
+
The neck often firms alongside the jawline in the same series, since radiofrequency energy treats both areas together. Improvement builds gradually across sessions.
What does RF microneedling before and after jowls look like?
+
Jowling can soften as RF microneedling firms the deeper layers of the jaw and lower cheek. Mild to moderate jowling tends to respond best, and your provider will set realistic expectations for more advanced laxity.
What does RF microneedling before and after stomach look like?
+
It can be used on the body, including stretch marks and loose skin on the stomach. Results build slowly and vary from person to person, so your provider will talk through what is realistic.
How long is the downtime after RF microneedling?
+
Redness and mild swelling usually last 24 to 48 hours, and most patients are comfortable returning to work in two to three days.
How many RF microneedling sessions do I need?
+
Most patients complete three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Your provider will confirm the plan at your consultation.
What is the difference between microneedling and RF microneedling?
+
Standard microneedling creates micro-channels to trigger healing. RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy through those channels to heat deeper layers, which adds a tightening and firming effect.
Can RF microneedling be combined with PRP, TriLift, or injectables?
+
Yes. Many patients pair it with PRP for added collagen support, with TriLift for muscle toning, or with injectables. Your provider will recommend a plan for your goals.
Do you offer RF microneedling near me in Newport Beach?
+
Yes. Grey Aesthetics is at 4001 Westerly Pl, STE 103, in Newport Beach, and welcomes patients from Costa Mesa, Irvine, Corona del Mar, and across Orange County.
