What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a popular and effective treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin and enhance its natural glow. This minimally invasive procedure uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process. As a result, microneedling helps boost collagen and elastin production, which are two essential proteins that keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful.
Many people turn to microneedling to address common skin concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. Because it stimulates the skin’s repair process without harsh chemicals or extensive downtime, it’s a fantastic option for those looking for a natural way to refresh their complexion.
What Is RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling is an advanced version of traditional microneedling, combining tiny needle punctures with radiofrequency (RF) energy to enhance skin rejuvenation. While microneedling alone creates micro-injuries to stimulate collagen and elastin production, Genius RF microneedling takes treatment a step further by delivering controlled heat deep into the skin layers. This heat boosts collagen remodeling, tightens the skin, and improves overall texture more effectively. It’s particularly beneficial for addressing deep wrinkles, acne scars, and skin laxity.

The Best Candidates for Raleigh Microneedling and RF Microneedling
Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and tones, making it an excellent option for individuals seeking a natural and effective approach to skin renewal. During a consultation, Dr. Lyle will assess your skin, answer questions, and create a customized treatment plan to help you achieve your desired results. Whether you’re looking to reduce signs of aging, refine skin texture, or enhance your overall glow, microneedling offers a safe and proven solution for beautifully refreshed skin.
How Is Microneedling Performed?
Your microneedling treatment begins with a thorough skin assessment, ensuring microneedling is suited to your specific needs. To enhance comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure. Once the skin is prepared, Dr. Lyle uses a specialized microneedling device equipped with tiny, sterile needles to create precise micro-injuries across the skin’s surface. These controlled microchannels activate the body’s natural healing response, encouraging new collagen formation and improved skin texture. Following the procedure, the skin may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, with some sensitivity that typically subsides within a few days. Dr. Lyle provides detailed post-care instructions, including hydration, gentle skincare, and sun protection, to optimize healing and achieve a radiant, refreshed complexion.
The key difference between Genius RF microneedling and traditional microneedling lies in the added heat component, which tightens skin, improves deeper wrinkles, reduces acne scars, and enhances overall firmness beyond what traditional microneedling achieves. RF microneedling is especially beneficial for individuals seeking more dramatic skin rejuvenation or addressing concerns like laxity, whereas traditional microneedling focuses primarily on skin texture and mild collagen stimulation.
How to Prepare for Your Microneedling Procedure
Setting yourself up for success before your microneedling treatment can help you achieve the best possible results while ensuring a smooth experience. We provide personalized pretreatment guidance, which may include adjusting your skincare routine, avoiding certain products, and staying hydrated to support your skin’s health.
In the days leading up to your appointment, it’s best to discontinue retinoids, exfoliating acids, or any harsh skincare products that could make your skin more sensitive. Staying well-hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet can also promote optimal skin regeneration after treatment. Additionally, limiting sun exposure and using sunscreen can help protect your skin before microneedling.
On the day of your treatment, arrive with clean, makeup-free skin to ensure the best results. While microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure, you may experience some redness or mild sensitivity afterward, similar to a light sunburn. Set up a soothing post-treatment space with essentials like a gentle moisturizer, SPF, and plenty of hydration. Following these simple steps will help support your skin’s healing process and maximize the benefits of your microneedling treatment.
What to Expect from Your Microneedling Recovery
One of the biggest advantages of microneedling is its minimal downtime, making it a convenient way to refresh your skin without a lengthy recovery period. After treatment, you may experience mild redness, sensitivity, and warmth similar to a mild sunburn. This typically lasts for 24 to 48 hours, with most patients noticing that their skin calms down within a few days.
In the first day or two, you may also feel slight tightness or dryness as your skin begins its natural healing process. Hydration is key—use gentle moisturizers and drink plenty of water to help support recovery. Dr. Lyle recommends avoiding harsh skincare products, exfoliants, and retinoids in the days following treatment to prevent irritation.
Protecting your skin is essential post-treatment. Since microneedling temporarily increases skin sensitivity, applying a high-quality SPF and limiting sun exposure will help prevent damage and ensure the best results. Within a week, many patients notice their skin starting to appear smoother, more radiant, and refreshed. The full results of your treatment, including improvements in texture and firmness, will continue to develop over several weeks as collagen production increases. For optimal skin rejuvenation, Dr. Lyle may recommend a series of treatments based on your specific skincare goals.
