Ashburn, VA board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael J. Brown uses an exceptional technique for firmer, smoother skin, known as radiofrequency (RF) microneedling.
RF microneedling remedies and are popular cosmetic procedures known for their skin tightening effects. These specific types of laser therapy utilize heat to stimulate the creation of collagen deep within the skin. Aesthetic benefits include:
This technique could be used with other nonsurgical treatments or combined with similar procedures to maximize outcomes. At The Loudoun Center for Plastic Surgery in Ashburn, VA, we frequently incorporate this new state of the art treatment for brighter, healthier looking skin.
Microneedling is less invasive than other popular skin rejuvenating treatments, such as chemical peels.
At The Loudoun Center for Plastic Surgery, we offer several technologies for the purpose of performing RF microneedling:
Embrace RF is a combined RF microneedling procedure that uses two different technologies for optimal results. First, Facetite (a skin tightening procedure) is used to treat the underside layer of the skin called the subcutaneous layer. Then, Morpheus (another form of RF microneedling) is used to treat the out-layer skin.
Morpheus8 microneedling is an RF treatment that applies radio frequency energy into the deepest layers of the skin through gold-plated tiny needles. The treatment depth is preselected by a team member (2mm, 3mm, or 4mm).
The RF energy stimulates collagen and elastin production while the pins perforate the skin to promote self-healing. Morpheus penetrates deeper than some other techniques, reaching deep into the fat layers of the skin to treat acne scars, laugh lines, sagging skin, and more.
Factora is an RF microneedling device that addresses wide-ranging skin conditions, including:
Factora microneedling can be used at varying depths and pin density configurations to treat many different skin types.
“I felt very comfortable when I first walked into the LCPS and talked with Dr. Brown. He set my mind at ease and I was happy to have a non evasive procedure. I’m happy with my results and can’t wait to come back and get more treatments from him and his asethetician”I felt very comfortable […]

If you are over 40, in good health, and beginning to find discoloration, smile lines, age spots, and other skin issues caused by age and sunlight exposure (which include age and sunlight exposure), RF microneedling might be the idea treatment for you.
RF microneedling is an excellent choice if you’re looking to:
RF microneedling at The Loudoun Center for Plastic Surgery uses preselected RF microneedling technology. The handpiece (with small needles at the end) rolls carefully around the skin to puncture and make micro-injuries. This works to “interrupt” the tissues and stimulate production of collagen, capillaries, and elastin.
This technique is sometimes referred to a a collagen induction treatment. As new skin grows and the skin begins to heal, the surface of the skin is left looking and feeling brighter, smoother, and more refreshed.
Although this process can be performed on its own, combining this innovative method with one of our radiofrequency laser technologies has enabled us to maximize the outcomes for our Ashburn, VA patients.
This method is quite straightforward. The applicator emits radiofrequency energy and provides brief bursts of RF energy via a collection of golden micro-needles. The power is delivered via the needles, which puncture your skin and returns the electrodes on the surface of the skin. The RF energy warms at levels, offering cumulative and continuing results.
Microneedling treatments at The Loudoun Center for Plastic Surgery facility are performed using a numbing solution to minimize any discomfort.
During your procedure, the handpiece of the preselected technology roll over the desired treatment areas. This technique is repeated until the desired outcome has been reached.
Patients should anticipate minute pinpoint scabs to become pronounced 24 – 72 hours after treatment. This will naturally disappear when the inherent skin has healed. Positive outcomes become noticeable as the skin heals over a month after receiving a microneedling with RF procedure. Optimal results generally call for 3 – 4 treatments one month apart.
The cost for an RF microneedling varies depending on your treatment type, aesthetic goals, and the number of treatments needed to reveal your optimal improvements. During your consultation, our staff will answer your concerns and estimate your total costs. Learn more about financing options at The Loudoun Center for Plastic Surgery.
Every person is different, and so some patients might require more procedures compared to other patients. Our aesthetic team will perform a complete evaluation of your complexion and take into account your needs and wants to decide how many treatments you will need.
Usually, many people receive 3 – 4 sessions spaced about a month apart. The number of sessions needed vary according to the technology chosen for your treatments.
An RF microneedling treatment is both safe and effective for most complexion tones and types. It may be performed on almost every area of your body and face. RF microneedling delivers impressive improvements, and minimal downtime is needed for recovery.
RF microneedling can also help to update the appearance of your skin after a facelift or body contouring surgery.
local anesthetic is applied to the treated area, so patients experience minimal discomfort. You can let us know how you are feeling at any point during the procedure. As your skin heals you may feel slight discomfort, including dryness, redness, or itching. These side effects should not last for long and will disappear completely once healing is complete.
Even though RF microneedling delivers great outcomes by itself, you might think about getting it with a second procedure for more improvements. During your consultation, we will ask about your goals before determining if a second procedure could be right for you.
