About RF Microneedling
At Level Up Med Spa in Andover, MA, Dr. MaryAnn Millar M.D. uses an innovative approach to skin care that has been recognized for achieving excellent results for our patients with a treatment known as radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. RF treatments have been around for many years and are well-known in the cosmetic industry. This particular treatment uses heat to stimulate the production of collagen in the deeper layers of the skin in order to create a tighter, smoother surface. This technique can be used with microneedling to optimize the results. At Level Up Med Spa, we often add this new advancement to our patient's skin care treatments to create firmer skin, a smoother texture, and a glowing complexion.
Procedure Technique
Microneedling uses a tool with small needles on the end that is rolled gently against the skin to puncture and create micro-injuries that "disrupt" the cells and produce collagen. Some also refer to this as collagen induction therapy. New skin grows as the skin heals, leaving the top layer feeling and looking smoother, brighter, and rejuvenated. While this procedure is usually performed by itself, combining this advanced technique with radiofrequency microneedling technology has allowed us to optimize the results for our patients.
The method is quite straightforward. The handheld device, which emits radiofrequency heat, works by delivering short pulses of RF energy through an array of 25 sterilized, gold-plated microneedles. The energy is transmitted through the needles, which simultaneously punctures the skin and circles back the electrodes on the skin. The RF energy heats at levels that provide cumulative and ongoing benefits.
Ideal Candidates
If you are 40 years of age or older and are starting to notice discoloration, smile lines, age spots, and other skin problems (that can come with age and sun exposure), RF microneedling might be the perfect treatment for you. RF microneedling may be an excellent choice if you wish to:

Level Up Med Spa Reviews
Awesome place! Friendly staff. Professional. Up front about potential risks. Up front about the great results. Highly pleased with my results. Will be going back
Great experience at Level Up Med Spa! I came in for a consultation and Mike was so helpful and knowledgeable. The spa was spotless. I’m looking forward to my treatments!
True professionals with amazing skill with the most updated treatments highly recommend
Dr. Millar saved my life twenty years ago when on my first visit to her she insisted I get a mammogram. Not in the upcoming future but immediately. Upon the results I was sent for a sonogram and then a biopsy. In less than 6 weeks I had had a radical mastectomy and she would be doing a total hysterectomy due to having estrogen positive breast cancer after a six week recovery from the breast surgery. For the last twenty some years she has always been up front and honest with me good, bad. I have such respect for her and her professional and always very caring medical performance, which includes emotional health as well as physical.
The staff is extremely knowledgeable. They work with you to reach your optimum goals. They have the most innovative treatments available. I had a great experience and highly recommend booking a consultation.

What to Expect
RF microneedling treatments will take place inside a private treatment room at our office with the use of numbing cream to minimize any discomfort. During your appointment, the handheld device will roll over the desired area, repeating the process until the desired results have been reached. Patients should expect minute pinpoint scabs to appear 24 – 72 hours after treatment, which will naturally shed when the underlying micro-injury has healed. Results become visible as the skin heals over the 3 – 4 weeks following the procedure. Optimal results usually call for 3 – 4 treatments scheduled 3 – 4 weeks apart.
