From the team at Opteluxe Wellness
In the ever-evolving world of aesthetic medicine, few treatments have generated as much excitement as Pixel8 RF Microneedling. This innovative technology combines the proven benefits of traditional microneedling with the power of radiofrequency energy, delivering remarkable results for skin rejuvenation, texture improvement, and anti-aging. At Opteluxe Wellness, we’re proud to offer this cutting-edge treatment to help our patients achieve their most radiant, youthful-looking skin.
What is Pixel8 RF Microneedling?
Pixel8 RF Microneedling represents the next generation of skin rejuvenation technology. This advanced treatment system combines traditional microneedling with bipolar radiofrequency energy delivery, creating a synergistic effect that maximizes collagen production and skin remodeling. Unlike conventional microneedling devices that only create micro-injuries to stimulate healing, Pixel8 adds precise radiofrequency energy directly into the deeper layers of the skin through ultra-fine needles.
The treatment uses an array of 24-karat gold-plated needles that can be adjusted to various depths, allowing for customized treatment based on your specific skin concerns and treatment areas. The radiofrequency energy is delivered in controlled pulses, heating the deeper dermal layers to stimulate immediate collagen contraction and long-term collagen remodeling.
The Science Behind the Results
The dual-action approach of Pixel8 RF Microneedling works on multiple levels to transform your skin:
Mechanical Stimulation: The precision microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural wound healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibers.
Thermal Stimulation: The radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers of the skin to optimal temperatures (typically 60-70°C), causing immediate collagen fiber contraction and promoting new collagen synthesis over the following months.
Fractional Treatment: The fractional delivery system ensures that only a portion of the skin is treated at once, leaving healthy tissue intact to speed healing and minimize downtime.
This combination results in more dramatic and longer-lasting improvements compared to either microneedling or radiofrequency treatments alone.
Comprehensive Benefits of Pixel8 RF Microneedling
The versatility of Pixel8 RF Microneedling makes it an excellent choice for addressing a wide range of skin concerns:
Wrinkle and Fine Line Reduction: The treatment effectively smooths both superficial fine lines and deeper wrinkles by rebuilding the skin’s supportive collagen matrix.
Skin Tightening and Lifting: The immediate collagen contraction provides an instant tightening effect, while continued collagen production over 3-6 months creates progressive lifting and firming.
Texture and Tone Improvement: Pixel8 dramatically improves skin texture, reducing roughness, large pores, and uneven skin tone for a smoother, more refined complexion.
Acne Scar Treatment: The treatment is particularly effective for treating acne scars, including both rolling and boxcar scars, by breaking down scar tissue and promoting healthy skin regeneration.
Stretch Mark Reduction: The deep dermal remodeling can significantly improve the appearance of stretch marks by rebuilding collagen in the affected areas.
Hyperpigmentation Correction: By promoting skin cell turnover and improving overall skin health, Pixel8 can help reduce age spots, sun damage, and melasma.
Enhanced Product Absorption: The microchannels created during treatment allow for better penetration of topical skincare products, maximizing their effectiveness.
How Pixel8 RF Microneedling Helps Transform Your Skin
The transformative power of Pixel8 RF Microneedling lies in its ability to work with your body’s natural healing processes while providing enhanced stimulation through radiofrequency energy. Here’s how it helps:
Immediate Results: You’ll notice some immediate skin tightening due to collagen contraction from the radiofrequency energy. Your skin may also appear more radiant and smooth shortly after treatment.
Progressive Improvement: The most significant results develop over 3-6 months as new collagen and elastin fibers are produced. This natural process means your results look completely natural and continue to improve over time.
Customizable Treatment: The adjustable needle depth and energy settings allow us to tailor each treatment to your specific skin type, concerns, and desired outcomes. This personalization ensures optimal results with minimal risk.
Minimal Downtime: Unlike more aggressive resurfacing treatments, Pixel8 RF Microneedling requires minimal downtime while still delivering significant results. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24-48 hours.
Safe for All Skin Types: The treatment is safe and effective for all skin types and tones, making it an inclusive option for diverse patients seeking skin improvement.
What Does Pixel8 RF Microneedling Feel Like?
Understanding what to expect during your Pixel8 RF Microneedling treatment can help you feel more comfortable and confident about the process:
Before Treatment: We begin with a thorough cleansing of your skin and apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. The numbing cream typically takes 20-30 minutes to take full effect.
During Treatment: Most patients describe the sensation as a mild to moderate prickling or warm tingling feeling. The radiofrequency energy creates a warming sensation in the deeper layers of skin, which many find quite tolerable and even soothing. The treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area.
The Needle Sensation: While you will feel the microneedling, the topical anesthetic significantly minimizes discomfort. Many patients compare it to a light sandpaper feeling or gentle scratching sensation.
The RF Energy: The radiofrequency component feels like a warm, deep heating sensation. This warmth indicates that the treatment is effectively stimulating collagen production in the deeper skin layers.
Immediately After: Your skin will appear pink to red, similar to a moderate sunburn. This is completely normal and indicates that the treatment has effectively stimulated your skin’s healing response. You may also notice some mild swelling, particularly around sensitive areas like the eyes.
Comfort Level: Most patients rate their discomfort level as 3-5 out of 10, making it very tolerable for the majority of people. The combination of topical anesthesia and the advanced technology design minimizes discomfort while maximizing results.
Post-Treatment Experience and Recovery
The recovery process is generally smooth and straightforward:
First 24 Hours: Your skin will be red and may feel warm and tight, similar to a sunburn. Some patients experience mild swelling, which is more noticeable in the morning and typically subsides throughout the day.
Days 2-3: The redness begins to fade, and you may notice some light peeling or flaking as your skin begins to regenerate. This is a positive sign that the treatment is working.
Days 4-7: Most patients see significant improvement in redness and can comfortably wear makeup. Your skin may feel slightly dry, so gentle moisturizing is important.
Weeks 2-4: You’ll begin to notice improvements in skin texture and tone as the initial healing phase completes and collagen production ramps up.
Months 1-6: The most dramatic results become apparent as new collagen and elastin fibers mature, providing continued improvement in skin firmness, texture, and overall appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many Pixel8 RF Microneedling treatments will I need? A: Most patients see optimal results with a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. However, the exact number depends on your specific skin concerns, age, and desired outcomes. Some patients with mild concerns may see excellent results with just 1-2 treatments, while others with more advanced aging or scarring may benefit from additional sessions.
Q: Who is a good candidate for Pixel8 RF Microneedling? A: Pixel8 RF Microneedling is suitable for most adults looking to improve their skin texture, reduce signs of aging, or address specific concerns like acne scars or stretch marks. It’s safe for all skin types and tones. However, pregnant or nursing women, individuals with active skin infections, or those with certain medical conditions may not be suitable candidates. A consultation will determine if this treatment is right for you.
Q: How long do the results last? A: Results from Pixel8 RF Microneedling can last 12-18 months or longer, depending on your age, skin condition, and lifestyle factors. The collagen that’s stimulated during treatment continues to improve your skin for months after your final session. Many patients choose to have maintenance treatments once or twice yearly to sustain their results.
Q: Can I combine Pixel8 RF Microneedling with other treatments? A: Yes! Pixel8 RF Microneedling can be combined with various other treatments for enhanced results. Popular combinations include chemical peels, laser treatments, or injectable treatments like Botox or dermal fillers. We’ll discuss the best combination approach during your consultation based on your specific goals.
Q: When will I see results? A: You may notice some immediate skin tightening and improved texture right after treatment. However, the most significant results develop gradually over 3-6 months as new collagen forms. Many patients report continued improvement for up to a year after their treatment series.
Q: Is there any downtime with Pixel8 RF Microneedling? A: Downtime is minimal compared to more aggressive treatments. Most patients experience 1-3 days of redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn. You can typically return to work and normal activities within 24-48 hours, though you’ll want to avoid strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure for a few days.
Q: What should I do to prepare for my treatment? A: Avoid sun exposure, retinoids, and certain skincare products for several days before treatment. Stop taking blood-thinning medications if medically appropriate. We’ll provide you with detailed pre-treatment instructions during your consultation to ensure the best possible results.
Q: Are there any side effects? A: Side effects are generally mild and temporary. The most common include redness, mild swelling, and occasional pinpoint bleeding during treatment. Some patients may experience temporary darkening of pigmented spots before they fade. Serious complications are rare when treatment is performed by trained professionals.
Q: How much does Pixel8 RF Microneedling cost? A: Treatment costs vary depending on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions recommended. We offer various package options and financing plans to make treatment accessible. Detailed pricing will be discussed during your consultation based on your personalized treatment plan.

It’s particularly popular for improving stretch marks, skin laxity, and texture issues on various parts of the body.
Q: What makes Pixel8 different from regular microneedling? A: The key difference is the addition of radiofrequency energy delivered through the microneedles. This creates more significant collagen stimulation and immediate skin tightening compared to traditional microneedling alone. The results are typically more dramatic and longer-lasting with Pixel8 RF Microneedling.
