Radiofrequency microneedling for body areas, performed personally by Dr. Amir Mortazavi, MD.
Same technology as facial RF microneedling — insulated microneedles delivering radiofrequency energy into the dermis to contract and remodel collagen — applied to areas where skin has lost firmness or texture.
Commonly treated: abdomen, particularly after pregnancy or weight loss · upper arms · inner and outer thighs · knees · above the elbows · buttocks texture · chest and décolletage · stretch marks · surgical and C-section scars
Body skin is not facial skin, and results follow different rules.
Body skin is thicker, has fewer adnexal structures per square inch, and — critically — has poorer circulation than the face. Collagen remodeling depends on blood supply, so body areas respond more slowly and less dramatically than the face to the same treatment.
Practically, that means more sessions, longer intervals, and more modest change per session. Anyone promising facial-equivalent results on the abdomen is misrepresenting how this works.
The honest limit, stated plainly.
RF microneedling improves mild to moderate skin laxity. It tightens skin that has softened. It does not remove skin.
If you can grasp a fold of loose skin and lift it, no energy device will fix that. Post-pregnancy abdominal laxity and significant post-weight-loss loose skin are surgical problems — a tummy tuck or body lift. A series of RF sessions on genuinely excess skin produces disappointment and a substantial bill.
Dr. Mortazavi will tell you at consultation which category you're in. That conversation costs him a booking and saves you several thousand dollars, which is the right trade.
On stretch marks. RF microneedling can improve their texture and appearance — softening the depressed quality and reducing color contrast. It does not eliminate them. Older white stretch marks respond less than newer red or purple ones, and realistic improvement means less noticeable, not gone.
What to expect: 45 to 75 minutes depending on area size, with topical numbing. Expect redness and swelling for two to three days, with a grid-pattern texture visible briefly. Body areas often stay pink slightly longer than the face.
Plan on three to five sessions spaced four to six weeks apart — typically more than facial treatment requires. Collagen remodeling continues for three to six months after the final session, so the full result is well after the last appointment.
Also a strong option for deeper skin tones, since energy is delivered below the epidermis rather than through it — lower pigmentation risk than ablative alternatives on body areas.
Avoid intense exercise and heat exposure for 48 hours.
