RF Microneedling for Laguna Hills Residents
Laguna Hills is one of MedGlo's closest neighboring communities — about 8 minutes from the office via Moulton Pkwy north to La Paz Rd. For Laguna Hills residents interested in non-surgical skin tightening, that short drive makes MedGlo one of the most accessible physician-led aesthetic practices in South Orange County.
RF Microneedling is one of the most effective non-surgical options for skin tightening and collagen rebuilding. The treatment combines two mechanisms: fine needles create micro-channels in the skin, triggering the skin's wound-healing response, while radiofrequency energy is delivered through those channels at controlled depth, heating the dermis and stimulating new collagen production from within. The result is tighter, smoother skin with improved texture — without the recovery time of a surgical procedure.
This treatment is particularly well-suited to patients in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who have noticed early to moderate skin laxity — the slight looseness around the jawline, softening of the midface, or texture changes that appear after sustained sun exposure or significant weight change. It's also effective for acne scars and enlarged pores. Results are progressive: the skin continues to produce collagen for 4 to 6 weeks after each session, with the most noticeable improvement appearing after the final session in a series.
MedGlo also offers SkinPen with salmon DNA (PDRN — polydeoxyribonucleotide). This is a variation of microneedling that applies a growth factor-rich serum derived from salmon DNA into the micro-channels, amplifying the skin's healing and regeneration response. It's an excellent option for patients focused on skin quality, fine lines, and pigmentation rather than structural tightening.
A single RF Microneedling session starts at $1,800. A package of three sessions is $2,400 — the recommended protocol for most patients seeking meaningful improvement. The SkinPen package of three is $1,800. Mild downtime is expected: most patients experience 1 to 2 days of redness similar to a sunburn, followed by subtle flaking as the skin renews. Most patients plan treatments on a Thursday or Friday to be comfortable by Monday. Dr. Recalde will discuss which option and treatment schedule makes the most sense for your skin type and goals during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does RF Microneedling differ from regular microneedling?
Standard microneedling uses only the mechanical injury from fine needles to stimulate collagen. RF Microneedling adds radiofrequency energy delivered through those same channels into the deeper dermis — which produces significantly more collagen stimulation and skin tightening. The RF component is what makes this effective for laxity and structural changes, not just surface texture.
How much downtime should I expect?
Most patients experience 1 to 2 days of redness and warmth similar to a moderate sunburn, followed by mild flaking or tightness as the skin renews over the following week. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work or social activities within 2 to 3 days. Many choose to schedule on a Thursday or Friday for a weekend recovery window. Makeup can typically be worn after 24 to 48 hours.
How many sessions do I need to see results?
Most patients see noticeable improvement after a single session, but peak results come from a series of three treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Collagen continues building for 4 to 6 weeks after each session, so the final result of the series is typically visible 6 to 8 weeks after the last appointment. Maintenance sessions once or twice a year sustain the improvement over time.
