What Is Collagen?
As one of the building blocks of skin health, collagen contributes to 30% of your body’s total proteins. Collagen’s main function is to provide support and structure throughout the body, as it’s found in the skin, muscles, bones, ligaments, and other connective tissues.
For skin health, collagen helps keep our skin firm and strong as it helps cell turnover, elasticity, and more.
Within the skin, collagen:
- Helps replace dead skin cells by promoting cell renewal.
- Promotes the growth of fibroblasts that work in the dermis to help new skin cells grow.
- Provides a strong internal framework to the skin to support structure, firmness, and elasticity.
- Supports the skin barrier, which protects against damage from the environment.
Without optimal collagen levels, individuals begin to experience the effects of aging.
How Collagen Changes as We Age
One of the key indicators of the aging process is skin health. As we age, collagen levels decline, and existing collagen breaks down at a quicker rate. This leads to skin that’s saggy, wrinkled, and dull.
We use collagen induction therapy microneedling in Rocky Mount to combat collagen loss and stimulate your body’s natural healing process. Our providers help patients reduce the signs of aging with innovative treatment options like RF microneedling.
Let’s dive into how RF microneedling stimulates collagen production and helps you rediscover radiance.
RF Microneedling: Repair and Radiate
One of our most advanced skin-renewing treatments, RF Microneedling, combines 2 technologies to refresh your skin. With each treatment, Dr. Michal and Brigette help you embrace your natural beauty and reawaken your skin.
Our RF microneedling devices each simultaneously utilize microneedles and radiofrequency (RF) energy to repair your skin’s internal network and improve surface-level concerns.
Microneedling
Our RF microneedling devices have tiny microneedles that work on the skin’s surface to promote deep renewal.
These microneedles create controlled injury to the skin’s surface, stimulating the natural healing process. As your skin begins to heal itself, it increases the production of collagen and elastin fibers. These fibers help cells grow back stronger and healthier, leading to a firm, youthful appearance.
As this device creates microinjuries in the skin, they open up channels for RF energy to enter and penetrate deeper into the dermis.
RF Energy
When the microneedles penetrate the skin, they emit RF energy. This form of thermal energy safely heats the lower layers of the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin fibers to repair skin structure, quality, and texture.
Collagen induction therapy microneedling in Rocky Mount can lead to transformative results through natural healing and stimulation. By targeting skin concerns where they start, RF energy helps tighten and restore the skin.
What Does RF Microneedling Treat?
By targeting both the superficial and deep layers of the skin, RF microneedling can improve the signs of aging, enhance skin structure, and promote overall clarity.
Using our RF microneedling devices, we can treat:
- Fine lines and wrinkles: Collagen and elastin can restore lost volume and promote a more youthful appearance.
- Mild skin laxity: RF heat can subtly tighten the skin, while increased collagen helps lift and firm the skin.
- Enlarged pores: RF microneedling stimulates healthier cell growth, reducing the appearance of large pores and texture.
- Acne scars: The microneedles can break up scar tissue, while deep renewal helps improve pigment and redness.
- Uneven skin tone: Deep renewal helps new cells grow back healthier and evenly to improve areas of excess pigment or dullness.
RF Microneedling at AGA: Our Process
When you choose Amazing Grace Aesthetics for collagen induction therapy microneedling in Rocky Mount, you partner with a team dedicated to your well-being. From our initial consultation to your treatment plan, each step is personalized and driven by faith.
Here’s what you can expect with our treatment process.
Getting to Know You With a Consultation
To begin, we have you meet for a personalized conversation with our aesthetician, Brigette, and Dr. Michal. We use this time to understand you as the patient, your goals, and how we can help you reach them with our options for increasing the natural production of collagen.
Brigette begins by asking about your unique skin concerns and examining your skin. We also use Alma IQ to get a detailed analysis of your skin type, texture, and areas of concern.
Once Brigette confirms that RF microneedling can help you reach your aesthetic goals, she begins creating a detailed treatment plan. She designs this plan with your needs and lifestyle in mind, making your experience deeply personalized.
RF Microneedling Treatment
To begin collagen induction therapy microneedling in Rocky Mount, we welcome you into our treatment room. Our providers ensure you are comfortable before we begin.
Brigette moves the RF microneedling device along the surface of your skin, making soft, gentle passes. As the needles create controlled injury, RF energy works beneath the surface to repair and strengthen the skin.
Each appointment takes around an hour, during which you might feel some warmth and tingling. The treatment should be tolerable, but if anything is too uncomfortable, we can make adjustments to our settings and pressure.

Results Timeline and Duration
In the days following your treatment, your skin might appear red and feel sensitive. Brigette and our team help you optimize the results by instructing you on how to take care of your skin during this time.
After the minor redness and irritation subside, you can begin to see results. Many patients find that they see improvements in skin texture, clarity, and tone a few weeks after treatment.
Collagen and elastin fibers continue to build over time, allowing your results to improve. With healthy habits and guidance from our experts, you can see a glowing, bright appearance for up to 6 months! As we work to reveal younger-looking skin, each moment is celebrated and cherished with us.
