Microneedling (RF)

An insulated needle array is pressed into the cheek and temple, held, then pulsed. The insulation keeps the heat in the dermis and off the surface, which is the layer where pigment is triggered on skin that marks. Texture and pore size answer first. Firmness takes longer.

3 to 4 sessions / six weeks apart / pinpoint marks and swelling for 2 to 3 days / firming builds over three months

Treats: rough texture, open pores, deeper scarring and early slackness across cheek and temple

Will not: lift a jawline that has already descended, and it does little for pigment

Depth is set per zone, so the temple is never treated at the cheek's setting. Ask to see the map before the first pass.
