Your skin tells the story of your life, but over time, fine lines and changes in texture can become more noticeable. At The Heights Plastic Surgery Med Spa, we combine BOTOX® and RF Microneedling to treat both wrinkles and skin quality. Let’s take a look at how this treatment combination works together to deliver natural-looking and lasting results without surgery.
How Botox Works: Softening Lines & Preventing Wrinkles
Botox is one of the most well-known cosmetic treatments for a reason. It’s been FDA-approved for decades and works by temporarily relaxing facial muscles that cause wrinkles. By limiting excessive movement in targeted areas, Botox helps reduce the appearance of:
- Crow’s feet (the fine lines at the corners of your eyes)
- Forehead creases
- Frown lines (between your eyebrows)
- Lip and mouth lines
Regular treatments may also help slow the formation of deeper wrinkles, making it ideal for both prevention and softening existing lines.
How RF Microneedling Works: Boosting Collagen for Firmer Skin
RF Microneedling (short for radiofrequency microneedling) takes traditional microneedling up a notch by adding radiofrequency energy into the mix. Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response. At the same time, radiofrequency heat energy reaches deeper layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Here’s what RF Microneedling can do for your skin over time:
- Improve your skin texture and tone
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Minimize mild skin laxity (loose skin)
- Fade acne scars and other textural concerns
It’s ideal for firming and smoothing the skin naturally without surgery or extensive recovery time.
What To Expect
Botox and RF microneedling are efficient treatments that fit easily into a busy schedule with minimal downtime.
- Botox: The session takes about 15 to 20 minutes and involves minimal discomfort, often described as a quick pinch. Results begin to appear within a few days and typically last several months.
- RF Microneedling: Treatments take 30 to 60 minutes and include topical numbing cream for comfort. Most people return to daily activities quickly. Collagen production continues to improve skin over time.
Used together, they offer both quick, visible improvements and long-term skin support, all without major disruption to your routine.
The Benefits of Combining Botox and RF Microneedling
- Two Treatments, One Goal: Botox addresses surface-level wrinkles, while RF Microneedling works deeper to enhance skin firmness and texture.
- Natural, Not Overdone: The goal is subtle refinement so you still look like yourself, just refreshed.
- Minimal Downtime, Noticeable Results: Ideal for those who want visible improvements without taking time off for recovery.
