Radiofrequency Microneedling
Firmer, smoother skin with the Matrix Pro by Candela. Fine needles deliver radiofrequency heat beneath the surface to rebuild collagen, tighten and refine, with only a day or two of redness.

How It Works
The Matrix Pro by Candela is a Health Canada–cleared RF microneedling system. A grid of 49 fine, sterile needles delivers radiofrequency energy beneath the surface in a single pass, so the skin rebuilds collagen while the surface stays largely intact.
Why the Matrix Pro
- Smart Depth Control
- The device adjusts its energy at each depth in the skin, for a treatment that is both effective and comfortable.
- Precise and Even
- A 7 × 7 grid of microneedles treats every area evenly, pass by pass.
- Part of a Complete Platform
- It works alongside RF Skin Tightening (Sublime) and RF Resurfacing (Sublative) on the same Candela Matrix system.
Two Actions, One Treatment
Compared with regular microneedling, the added radiofrequency goes further on firmness and laxity.
Microneedling
Needles
Tiny, controlled channels prompt the skin’s natural repair process, smoothing texture and softening scars.
Radiofrequency
Heat
Heat delivered through the needle tips gently warms the deeper skin, tightening it and building new collagen and elastin over the following months.

Questions
Something else on your mind? Call 514-983-3409, or ask at your complimentary consultation.
How is RF microneedling different from regular microneedling?
Regular microneedling works mainly on the surface for texture and scars. RF microneedling adds heat deeper in the skin, so it also tightens and firms.
What makes the Matrix Pro different?
It adjusts its energy at each depth in the skin, for a treatment that is both effective and comfortable. Its 7 × 7 grid of 49 fine, sterile needles treats every area evenly, so the skin rebuilds collagen while the surface stays largely intact. And it works alongside RF Skin Tightening (Sublime) and RF Resurfacing (Sublative) on the same Candela Matrix system.
Does it hurt?
A numbing cream is applied first, for about 30 to 45 minutes, so you stay comfortable. During the treatment, you’ll feel warmth and light pressure.
How many sessions will I need?
Usually 3, every 4 to 6 weeks. Your consultation confirms it’s the right fit.
When will I see results?
Skin settles and looks fresher within the first week. New collagen builds over weeks 4 to 12, as skin looks firmer and smoother. Results keep improving for up to 6 months after your final session.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes, we rarely rely on a single treatment. It is often layered into a broader plan alongside neuromodulators, dermal fillers, select lasers or medical-grade skincare, depending on what your skin needs.
What side effects are possible?
Redness and swelling are the most common, and usually fade within hours to a few days. Bruising, faint grid-like marks or darker patches may also appear, and usually fade. Serious problems are rare, but burns, scarring, fat loss under the skin and nerve damage have been reported.
