Abstract:
Dermatologic patients are expressing increasing interest in minimally invasive procedures to address a wide range of common concerns from skin laxity to acne and scarring. Fractional radiofrequency (RF) microneedling offers an effective method for addressing a variety of dermatologic conditions with reduced downtime compared with historically more invasive procedural approaches. This article aims to describe the technology utilized in fractional RF microneedling (Morpheus8, InMode Aesthetics) and its studied applications in dermatology for treatment of the face.

The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...
