A considered starting point

The FDA’s October 2025 safety communication describes serious complications reported with certain uses of RF microneedling. It states that this is a medical procedure and should not be used at home.

Put it into practice

Discuss risks, expected outcomes and alternatives with a licensed healthcare provider trained in the procedure. This site does not publish operating depths, energy settings or do-it-yourself protocols.
