What to Expect
During Treatment
Prior to the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. The Prolift device uses ultrafine needles combined with radiofrequency energy to create controlled micro-injuries, triggering the body’s natural healing process. The treatment typically lasts about 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Recovery Phase
Post-treatment, you may experience mild redness & swelling, similar to a sunburn, which usually subsides within 1-2 days. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately, with minimal downtime.
For Optimal Results
For best outcomes, a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended. Results can be seen as early as 4 weeks, with optimal improvements typically observed at 12 weeks post-treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Prolift RF Microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes, Prolift RF Microneedling is considered safe & effective for all skin types & tones. Unlike traditional laser treatments that may carry a higher risk of post-treatment pigmentation issues for certain skin tones, Prolift uses radiofrequency energy delivered below the surface of the skin, minimizing the risk of complications. This makes it an excellent option for anyone seeking targeted skin rejuvenation without compromising safety.
How long does each treatment session take?
A typical Prolift RF Microneedling session lasts about 60 minutes, though the exact timing can vary based on the size of the treatment area & your individual skin concerns. During your session, a topical numbing cream is applied first to ensure a comfortable experience. The microneedling & radiofrequency portion itself usually takes about 30–45 minutes. This makes it a convenient treatment to fit into your schedule without significant disruption to your day.
When will I see results?
Most patients begin noticing initial improvements in skin texture & tone within 3 to 4 weeks after their first treatment. These early changes reflect the beginning of your skin’s natural collagen regeneration process. Optimal results—such as firmer, tighter, & smoother skin—typically become more visible around 12 weeks after your final session, as collagen & elastin continue to rebuild beneath the surface. Results are progressive & continue to improve over time.
How many treatments will I need?
For best results, we recommend a series of 3 to 6 Prolift RF Microneedling treatments, spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart. This allows the skin enough time to heal & regenerate between sessions while maximizing collagen production. The number of treatments can vary depending on your skin’s condition, concerns such as acne scarring or laxity, & your individual goals. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
Is there any downtime after the procedure?
One of the major benefits of Prolift RF Microneedling is minimal downtime. You may experience some redness, warmth, & mild swelling similar to a sunburn for 24 to 48 hours following the procedure. Most patients return to their regular activities the same day or the next. Gentle skin care & sun protection are key during recovery, & makeup can typically be resumed within 1–2 days post-treatment. It’s important to follow your provider’s aftercare instructions.

Is the procedure painful?
Most patients find the treatment very tolerable. A topical anesthetic is applied beforehand to numb the skin & minimize discomfort. During the procedure, you may feel a warm sensation & light pressure as the device creates micro-injuries & delivers radiofrequency energy. Some people describe it as a mild prickling or tingling. After treatment, there may be a temporary feeling of tightness or warmth, similar to a mild sunburn.
What’s the difference between traditional microneedling and RF microneedling like Prolift?
Traditional microneedling and RF (radiofrequency) microneedling both work by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production. However, RF microneedling, like Prolift, takes skin rejuvenation to the next level by combining the benefits of microneedling with thermal energy from radiofrequency technology.
Here’s how they differ:
Traditional Microneedling | Prolift RF Microneedling |
Uses fine needles to puncture the skin’s surface | Uses microneedles plus radiofrequency energy to reach deeper layers |
Triggers collagen production at the skin’s surface | Heats deeper layers of skin, stimulating more intense collagen and elastin production |
Best for mild texture, tone, and superficial scarring | More effective for skin tightening, acne scars, fine lines, and sagging skin |
Minimal thermal stimulation | Adds thermal energy to enhance skin tightening and firming effects |
No energy-based component | Dual-action approach: mechanical + thermal stimulation |
Typically requires more sessions for visible results | Fewer sessions may be needed for faster, longer-lasting results |
In summary, Prolift RF Microneedling offers a more powerful and customizable solution for clients looking to address signs of aging, texture, and skin laxity. It’s ideal for those wanting to see deeper, more dramatic results without surgery or extended downtime.
