At Ageless Aesthetics in Santa Fe, RF Microneedling with Pixel8 is more than just a procedure—it’s a personalized strategy for deep skin renewal.

RF microneedling, or radiofrequency microneedling, combines two proven treatments into one — microneedling and radiofrequency energy. The Pixel8 device creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin while simultaneously delivering heat into the deeper dermal layers. This dual approach stimulates collagen and elastin production, tightens skin, and improves texture and tone.
The Pixel8 RF Microneedling system is unlike any other RF microneedling device on the market due to its ability to deliver heat only at the targeted dermal layer. This makes the comfort level superior to other FDA-approved RF microneedling devices on the market. Ageless Aesthetics is 100% compliant with the new regulatory changes in New Mexico, with four nurses certified and trained to deliver excellent results. We offer seven types of RF microneedling, so we are able to hone in on targeting your specific goals.
The PiXel8-RF system facilitates non-surgical skin tightening using bi-polar RF energy and minimally invasive microneedles to drive heat deep within the skin layers. The heat stimulates and remodels collagen and prompts the elastin cells to regenerate. The treatment requires little to no downtime and results in a skin surface that is firmer, smoother, and more even.
After just one treatment, patients have reported their skin surface to be softer and smoother. Our technicians can adjust the energy levels delivered into the tissue from 0.1mm to 4mm to account for variation in patient skin types and desired results. The unique focused RF delivery and delay allow the PiXel8-RF Microneedling device to bypass the surface where sensory nerves are most prevalent and deliver the RF energy to the area of the dermis that generates the results.
Each RF Microneedling treatment at Ageless Aesthetics is customized with a carefully selected topical infusion to enhance your results. When we perform RF microneedling, we work in zones or vectors, and this is because there is a phenomenon that happens when a tiny puncture is created in the skin. A vacuum effect occurs, and there is about a 7-15 minute window of opportunity to apply the topical product so that the skin will pull it deep into the tissue. It's the topical product we use that allows us to target specific goals for our patients. We have broken it all down for you and included some examples.
It is important to remember that RF microneedling is not a one-and-done treatment. We have found a good guideline as to how many treatments you will need to achieve results: a series of 3 treatments for anyone under 50 and a series of 5 treatments for anyone over 50. Of course, these series can vary if you have extreme issues, such as acne scars, in which case we recommend you check out our Scar Revision page. If you have severe sun damage or increased laxity issues, your treatment plan will vary.
Our 7 unique options include:
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
Ideal for dehydrated, dull skin, HA instantly improves hydration, softness, and elasticity, giving the skin a refreshed, plumper appearance.
Vitamin C
A powerful antioxidant, Vitamin C helps brighten the complexion and address early signs of sun damage, including mild pigmentation and dullness.
Retin A
Our go-to for treating melasma, Retin A effectively rejuvenates the skin at the dermal level without the heat exposure that can trigger pigment issues in melasma-prone skin.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Derived from your own blood, PRP is rich in natural growth factors that promote cellular regeneration, smooth texture, and improve surface pigmentation.
Sculptra
A plant-based collagen stimulator, Sculptra targets crepey, thinning skin by stimulating long-term collagen production for stronger, denser skin.
Exosomes (Stem-Glo)
Thousands of times more powerful than PRP, exosomes are microvesicles that signal tissue repair, collagen renewal, and skin regeneration at a cellular level.
VI Peel
Perfect for stubborn pigmentation issues like sun damage or melasma, the VI Peel enhances skin tone and clarity when combined with RF microneedling.
RF Microneedling can be used to improve the appearance of:
RF microneedling can be performed on multiple areas at once with minimal downtime.
Areas include:
This treatment offers layered rejuvenation. First, it triggers deep collagen production and tightens skin via thermal RF energy. Second, it delivers your chosen serum or solution directly into the skin through micro-channels, maximizing penetration and effectiveness. Over time, this dual-action approach leads to firmer, brighter, more evenly toned skin with visibly smoother texture.
Unlike laser treatments, RF microneedling is safe for all skin tones and can be used year-round, making it a highly versatile solution for total skin renewal.
If you're looking to improve your skin's tone, texture, and firmness without invasive procedures or significant downtime, you may be an excellent candidate for RF microneedling. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones, including pigmentation concerns or melasma (when using non-heat topical infusions like Retin A or VI Peel). Your Ageless Aesthetics provider will learn about your goals and conduct a detailed skin analysis to ensure you are matched with the safest and most effective treatment for your needs.
Post-treatment, you may experience mild redness, warmth, or a sunburn-like sensation for 24–48 hours. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days while taking care to protect and nourish the skin in the treatment area. Aftercare includes:
Results emerge in the first few weeks, with continued improvement over several months.
Initial improvements in texture and tone can be seen within the first few weeks of an RF microneedling treatment, while collagen production builds over 8–12 weeks. Most patients benefit from a series of 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results. Full benefits, including firmer skin and a more even complexion, continue to develop for up to six months post-treatment.

RF microneedling delivers heat into the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and tighten tissue, while traditional microneedling relies solely on the physical creation of micro-channels to stimulate more surface-level renewal. Both are effective but address different layers of the skin.
A topical numbing cream is applied before the RF microneedling treatment to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as tolerable and similar to light heat or pressure.
Most patients see the best results after 3–4 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart.
Yes, RF microneedling pairs well with other treatments like neuromodulators, dermal fillers, facials, or light-based treatments, depending on your goals. We’ll guide you on how to layer complementary treatments during your consultation.
While results are long-lasting, annual maintenance treatments are often recommended to support collagen and skin health over time.
