RF Microneedling in Markham

Downtime varies by treatment. RF Microneedling may cause temporary redness, sensitivity, swelling, or a rough texture while the skin heals. Laser-based treatments may have different downtime depending on the technology used and treatment intensity. Your provider will explain aftercare and recovery expectations during your skin tightening consultation.

RF Microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin and stimulate collagen, making it useful for skin laxity, crepey texture, enlarged pores, acne scars, fine lines, and stretch marks. At Lashes & Lipstick it is often chosen when both skin tightening and texture improvement are the goal. A consultation helps confirm whether RF Microneedling, CO2 Laser, Laser Genesis, or a combination is the best fit for your concern.

To prepare for RF Microneedling, it is generally recommended to avoid sun exposure, tanning, and strong actives such as retinoids for several days before your session, and to arrive with clean skin free of makeup. Let your provider know about any medications, recent treatments, or skin conditions beforehand. Your provider at Lashes & Lipstick will give you personalized pre-care instructions during your consultation. You can book a consultation to get started.

After RF Microneedling the skin may feel warm, tight, or look red for a day or two, so aftercare focuses on gentle, hydrating products and strict sun protection. It is best to avoid heat, sweating, makeup, and active ingredients for the first 24 hours or as advised. Following your provider's aftercare instructions helps the skin recover well and supports the collagen-building results. You can also find gentle skincare in our shop.

Some clients notice smoother, firmer-looking skin within a couple of weeks, but the main tightening and collagen-building results develop gradually over the weeks and months following a series of treatments. Most people benefit from a customized series rather than a single session. Results can be long-lasting with good skincare and sun protection, though periodic maintenance is often recommended. You can book a consultation to get started.

RF Microneedling is often considered a good option for a range of skin tones because the radiofrequency energy targets the deeper layers while being gentler on surface pigment than some laser treatments. Even so, every treatment is customized, and your provider will assess your skin before recommending settings and a plan. A consultation at Lashes & Lipstick is the best way to confirm suitability for your skin.

A numbing cream is typically applied before RF Microneedling, so most clients tolerate the treatment well and describe it as manageable rather than painful. You may feel warmth or light pressure during the session. Your provider at Lashes & Lipstick will keep you comfortable and explain what to expect at each step.
