The short answer
Radiofrequency microneedling at our Wake Forest location combines controlled micro-channels with radiofrequency heating delivered at a set depth, targeting texture, scarring and laxity. It is performed under topical anaesthetic on platforms including Morpheus, Secret RF and Pixel-8, and planned as a course of sessions rather than one visit.

The Triangle’s long humid summers change how patients think about downtime, and radiofrequency microneedling is a treatment with visible recovery. Redness that looks like strong sunburn for a couple of days is normal, which is why courses here are often run through the cooler months.
The treatment itself is about depth and energy rather than device brand. Those settings are chosen from your skin type and the concern being treated, and they are the variables that actually decide the outcome.
Other treatments at this office are listed on our Wake Forest, NC location; this page stays with microneedling with rf.
Radiofrequency microneedling creates controlled micro-channels and delivers radiofrequency energy through them to heat deeper tissue, targeting texture, scarring and laxity.
Detailed background on the treatment itself is on the Microneedling with RF treatment page.
| Concern | What the treatment targets | Course expectation |
|---|---|---|
| Acne scarring | Remodelling at the depth the scar sits | A series of sessions, weeks apart |
| Enlarged pores and texture | Superficial to mid-dermal remodelling | A series of sessions, weeks apart |
| Early jawline laxity | Deeper thermal tightening | A series of sessions, weeks apart |
| Fine lines | Collagen response in the treated layer | A series of sessions, weeks apart |
| Deep folds | Not the right tool – volume loss | Filler discussed instead |

Acne scarring and early laxity are the two reasons patients book this in Wake Forest, and the age split is wide – late twenties for scarring, forties and fifties for laxity along the jaw.
Because a course means several appointments weeks apart, the commuting reality of this market matters. Scheduling the full course at the outset is the approach that works here, rather than booking session by session.
Patients often ask about Botox treatment in Wake Forest, NC and how juvederm works at the Wake Forest office during the same consultation. Whether more than one treatment is appropriate on a single visit is a clinical decision made at assessment.
The same treatment is offered in other markets we serve – see Microneedling with RF for Cashiers patients.

The cost conversation happens at your assessment, once it is clear what is actually appropriate. Treatment, area, product quantity and number of sessions all bear on it, and you will have the full figure before deciding.
Treatment planning here sits with Anita Dormer, MD. Being physician-led is not a marketing line – it changes who is deciding whether a requested treatment is actually the right one for you.
Background on the practice is on the about the practice page.
