RF Microneedling
DURATION
A Fractora RF microneedling session at The Spa by Sheena lasts 30 to 60 minutes after numbing, depending on the treatment area.
PROCEDURE TYPE
Fractora RF microneedling at The Spa by Sheena is classified as a cosmetic procedure, performed electively for skin tightening and resurfacing rather than to treat a medical condition.
BODY AREA
Fractora RF microneedling at The Spa by Sheena treats the face, eyes, lips, neck, and selective body areas including stretch marks and surgical scars.
INDICATION
Fractora RF microneedling at The Spa by Sheena treats skin laxity, texture, fine lines, scarring, and stretch marks by combining micro-injury with deep radio-frequency heating for collagen production.
THE PROTOCOL
What is RF microneedling with Fractora?
RF Microneedling combines microneedling with radio-frequency energy delivered through the needle tips. The needles create micro-injuries; the RF energy delivered at depth heats the deeper layers, causing controlled tissue contraction and accelerated collagen building. The combination addresses both texture concerns (the microneedling effect) and skin laxity (the RF effect).
What to expect from RF microneedling
Sessions take 60 to 90 minutes total, including 30 to 45 minutes of topical numbing before the actual treatment. The treatment itself feels like sandpaper or mild scratching. Most patients describe it as uncomfortable but tolerable.
Immediately after, your skin will look red and feel warm. Mild swelling is normal for 24 to 48 hours. Some pinpoint bleeding during treatment is normal and expected; it stops quickly.
Skip makeup, retinoids, and active skincare ingredients for 48 to 72 hours. Avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen religiously. Most patients book a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for compound results. Visible improvement appears around the 3-week mark after each session.
Benefits of Botox
SKIN TIGHTENING
Radiofrequency energy adds heat-driven tightening to standard microneedling for dramatic firming.
JOWL REDUCTION
Particularly effective for jawline, jowl, and neck laxity that standard microneedling can't address.
DEEPER SCARRING
Treats deep acne scarring, stretch marks, and significant texture issues at the dermal level.
FRACTORA TECHNOLOGY
InMode Fractora is one of the most advanced RF microneedling platforms available.
ALL SKIN TONES
Generally safer for darker skin than ablative laser treatments.

FAQ
Your questions, answered
We’ve answered some of the most common questions below to help make your experience simple, transparent, and stress-free.
Microneedling combined with radio-frequency (RF) energy delivered through the needles. The needles create micro-channels at the surface; the RF energy heats deeper tissue layers. Result: surface texture improvement AND deeper skin tightening simultaneously. Significantly more dramatic than standard microneedling.
What is RF Microneedling (Fractora)?
Skin laxity (jawline, jowls, neck), deep texture concerns, acne scars (particularly deep ice-pick or boxcar scars), stretch marks, sagging, fine lines and wrinkles, significant pore size. Better than standard microneedling for tightening; better than RF alone for surface concerns. Best of both modalities.
What does RF Microneedling treat?
Standard microneedling creates surface micro-injuries triggering collagen at the dermis level. RF microneedling does that AND adds heat energy deeper. Standard is good for texture/glow; RF is required for true tightening and deep concerns. RF has slightly more recovery but produces more dramatic results.
How is RF Microneedling different from standard microneedling?
A structured series of 3 to 6 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart, is recommended to achieve optimal skin tightening and resurfacing results. Maintenance every 12–18 months keeps results.
How many RF Microneedling sessions will I need?
Topical numbing applied for 45 minutes before treatment makes it well-tolerated. The heat element adds warmth sensation compared to standard microneedling. Most patients describe it as more intense than standard microneedling but manageable with numbing.
Does RF Microneedling hurt?
Recovery from RF Microneedling is about 7 days. Day 1–2: significant redness, swelling, possibly some bruising or pinpoint marks at needle sites. Day 3–5: redness fading, possible mild flaking. Day 7: most patients back to normal appearance.
What's the recovery from RF Microneedling?
$375–$650 per session depending on area treated. Larger or multi-area treatments at the higher end. Series pricing available. Members receive discounted pricing.
How much does RF Microneedling cost in Lubbock?
Initial improvement (better texture, slight tightening) visible at 4–6 weeks. Full collagen and tightening response builds over 3 months as tissues continue remodeling. Best to evaluate at 3 months post-final session.
When will I see RF Microneedling results?
Yes—generally safer for darker skin than ablative laser treatments because the RF energy bypasses pigment in the skin surface. Still requires appropriate technique. We adjust settings based on skin type.
Is RF Microneedling safe for all skin tones?
Book a complimentary consultation. We'll evaluate the concern (tightening, scarring, texture), confirm RF microneedling is the right tool, and design a treatment plan. Call (806) 701-5840 or book online.
