How does Radiofrequency Microneedling Work?
RF microneedling in Laval takes traditional microneedling a step further by pairing precise needle depth with radiofrequency energy. With the Candela Matrix™ system, the Matrix Pro® applicator uses ultra-thin insulated microneedles to deliver RF energy below the surface, where collagen remodeling begins.
The treatment creates controlled thermal zones in the skin, helping encourage new collagen and elastin without relying only on surface-level renewal. As the skin responds, texture may look smoother, pores may appear more refined, and fine lines or acne scars can soften gradually.

4 contraindications for RF microneedling
Skin conditions
Any active skin issue around the lips including cold sores, inflammation, or open wounds must fully heal before treatment.
Health issues
Known allergy to the product, a significant bleeding disorder, or a history of severe reactions to dermal fillers all require medical clearance beforehand.
Implants
If you have an implanted electronic device, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator, or metallic implants near the treatment area, please mention it during your consultation, as it may affect your eligibility for RF microneedling.
Pregnancy
Injections should be delayed until after pregnancy or breastfeeding has ended.

FAQ
What skin concerns can RF microneedling treat?
At Clinique One Skin, RF microneedling in Laval is commonly recommended for skin laxity, fine lines, acne scarring, and uneven texture. Because it works on the face as well as the body, your specialist will map out which areas make sense for your goals during your consultation.
What is RF microneedling and how does it work?
Our Laval microneedling treatments pair fine needles with radiofrequency energy. The needles create tiny, controlled channels in the skin while the RF energy delivers heat beneath the surface. Together, they stimulate collagen and elastin remodeling for firmer, smoother-looking skin over time.
How is RF microneedling different from traditional microneedling?
Traditional microneedling relies on the micro-injuries alone to trigger the skin’s repair response. Adding radiofrequency energy lets heat reach deeper layers of tissue, which is why RF microneedling is often chosen when skin laxity, not just texture, is part of the concern.
Is RF microneedling painful?
A topical numbing agent is typically applied before your session. Most patients describe the sensation as warmth or light pressure rather than pain, though comfort can vary by treatment depth and area.
Can RF microneedling be used on the face and body?
Yes, a microneedling facial addresses concerns like fine lines and uneven tone, and the same technology can be applied to body areas affected by laxity or scarring. Your specialist will tailor the plan to the areas you’d like to target.
Is RF microneedling suitable for all skin tones?
Because RF energy isn’t drawn to pigment the way some laser treatments are, RF microneedling is generally considered appropriate across a range of skin tones. Every plan at Clinique One Skin still starts with an individual skin assessment.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your skin and the concern being treated. Many patients complete a short series of sessions spaced several weeks apart, and your specialist will recommend a schedule personalized to you during your consultation.
When will I start seeing results?
Skin texture can look a little smoother as it heals, but the deeper changes, the collagen and elastin remodeling, build gradually and tend to continue improving over the following weeks and months.
How long do results last?
Results depend on the concern treated, your skin, and your at-home skincare routine. Because collagen remodeling continues well after treatment, improvements can last for months, with occasional maintenance sessions to help sustain them.
What’s the downtime like?
Downtime is generally minimal. You may notice temporary redness, warmth, or mild sensitivity in the treated area for a short period afterward.
Can RF microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes, we rarely rely on a single treatment. A microneedling facial is often layered into a broader plan alongside neuromodulators, dermal fillers, or medical-grade skincare, depending on what your skin needs.
How does RF microneedling compare to laser treatments?
RF microneedling uses needles to deliver energy beneath the skin, while lasers use light. Both can address similar concerns, but which one makes sense depends on your skin type and goals, which we’ll cover in your consultation.
How much does RF microneedling cost?
Every treatment plan is personalized, so pricing depends on the areas treated and the number of sessions recommended. We also offer flexible financing, so if you’re comparing the best microneedling Laval has to offer, we’d suggest starting with a consultation so we can map out a plan specific to your skin.
