It's a minimally invasive, medically guided treatment designed for real results with minimal downtime — a perfect fit for anyone in the Hilliard and greater Columbus, Ohio area looking for a trusted alternative to surgery.
What Is RF Microneedling?
Radiofrequency Microneedling — often known by the device name Exion — is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that pairs traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. Here's how it works: fine, medical-grade needles create controlled micro-channels in the skin, which signals the body to begin its natural healing response and produce new collagen and elastin. At the same time, radiofrequency energy is delivered through those needles directly into the deeper layers of the skin, gently heating the tissue to strengthen and remodel the skin's structural framework from within.
This dual-action approach sets RF Microneedling apart from standard microneedling. Because the radiofrequency energy is delivered at a precise, controlled depth, it reaches the layers of skin responsible for firmness and elasticity — something needling alone cannot fully achieve. The result is a treatment that is both minimally invasive and clinically effective, offering many of the tightening and rejuvenating benefits associated with more aggressive procedures, without the extended recovery time.
At Serenity Wellness & Aesthetics, every RF Microneedling treatment is personalized. As a Family Nurse Practitioner, Stephanie evaluates your skin, medical history, and aesthetic goals before customizing the needle depth and energy settings to your specific skin type and concerns — an approach that prioritizes both safety and results.
What RF Microneedling Treats
RF Microneedling is a versatile treatment that addresses a wide range of skin concerns for the face, neck, décolletage, and select body areas. Common concerns treated include:
Fine lines and early wrinkles
Mild to moderate skin laxity (loose or sagging skin, including the jawline and neck)
Acne scars and other textural scarring
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin texture and tone
Stretch marks
Crepey or thinning skin on the neck and décolletage
Early signs of sun damage and photoaging
Because the treatment works by stimulating the body's own collagen production, results tend to build gradually and look natural — refined texture and firmer, healthier-looking skin rather than an overdone or artificial appearance.
Why It's Different at Serenity Wellness
Not all RF Microneedling treatments are created equal, and where you receive treatment matters just as much as the technology itself. Here's what sets the experience at Serenity Wellness & Aesthetics apart:
Medical expertise, not just a machine. As a Family Nurse Practitioner, Stephanie brings clinical training and medical judgment to every treatment plan. Your skin, health history, and goals are assessed before any energy setting is chosen — this isn't a one-size-fits-all service.
Customized, not cookie-cutter. Needle depth and radiofrequency intensity are adjusted specifically for your skin type, tone, and concern, allowing for a treatment plan that evolves as your skin responds.
A calm, private, spa-like setting. Serenity Wellness & Aesthetics was built around its name — a peaceful, unhurried environment in Hilliard, Ohio where clients can feel comfortable asking questions and making informed decisions about their care.
Education over sales pressure. Consultations are designed to help you understand your options, realistic timelines, and expected outcomes — not to upsell unnecessary treatments.
Conveniently located for the Columbus area. Serving Hilliard, Dublin, Upper Arlington, Westerville, and the greater Columbus, Ohio community, Serenity Wellness & Aesthetics is a trusted local destination for medically guided aesthetic care.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The number of sessions depends on the area being treated and your individual goals:
Face and neck: Most clients see optimal results with a series of 3–4 sessions, spaced roughly 4–6 weeks apart.
Décolletage: Typically 3–4 sessions, similar to the face and neck, due to thinner skin in this area.
Body areas (such as the abdomen, arms, or thighs): Because skin is thicker, these areas often benefit from 4–6 sessions for visible tightening and texture improvement.
Acne scarring or deeper textural concerns: Additional sessions — often 4–6 or more — may be recommended to achieve the desired improvement.
Many clients also choose periodic maintenance sessions, roughly once or twice a year, to sustain their results. Your exact treatment plan will be tailored during your consultation at Serenity Wellness & Aesthetics.
-
Most clients tolerate RF Microneedling well. A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area approximately 20–30 minutes before the procedure to minimize discomfort. During treatment, most people describe the sensation as warm and slightly prickly rather than painful. Sensitivity can vary depending on the area treated and individual pain tolerance, and your provider will adjust settings to keep you comfortable throughout.
-
Downtime is minimal, which is part of what makes this treatment so popular. Immediately after treatment, it's common to experience redness and mild warmth, similar to a light sunburn, along with very small pinpoint marks from the needles. This typically resolves within 24–48 hours. Most clients are comfortable returning to work and normal daily activities the next day, though we recommend avoiding direct sun exposure, intense exercise, and heat (such as saunas) for a day or two after treatment to support optimal healing.
-
RF Microneedling is well suited for adults who are beginning to notice early to moderate skin laxity, uneven texture, enlarged pores, fine lines, or scarring, and who are looking for a non-surgical way to improve their skin's firmness and quality. Because the radiofrequency energy is delivered beneath the surface of the skin through insulated needles, it is generally considered safe across a range of skin tones, with a lower risk of the pigmentation changes that can occur with some laser treatments.
RF Microneedling is not appropriate for everyone — it's generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for those with active skin infections, certain bleeding disorders, some pacemakers or implanted devices, or a strong history of keloid scarring. The best way to determine candidacy is a one-on-one consultation, where your Family Nurse Practitioner will review your health history and skin goals to confirm the treatment is right for you.
-
Because RF Microneedling works by stimulating your body's own collagen and elastin production, results build gradually and continue to improve for several months after treatment. Many clients notice initial improvements in texture and tone within a few weeks, with fuller results developing over 3–6 months as new collagen matures. With a completed treatment series and good skincare habits, results can last a year or more. Since the natural aging process continues, periodic maintenance sessions — typically once or twice a year — are recommended to help preserve your results long-term.
