Restore Smoother, Younger-Looking Skin with Silkro RF Microneedling Treatments

If you’re looking for a minimally invasive way to achieve tighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin, Silkro RF microneedling in San Antonio, TX, may be the solution. This advanced AI-guided treatment combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy for powerful collagen stimulation and skin tightening. Unlike other treatments, Silkro RF adjusts the depth of the needles and the intensity of the thermal energy for each area of the face, neck, or body, providing personalized results with less risk of hyperpigmentation.

How Silkro RF Microneedling Works

Silkro RF is more advanced than traditional microneedling because it combines tiny, precise needles with radiofrequency energy for a powerful dual approach to skin rejuvenation. The AI-guided technology automatically adjusts the needle depth and thermal energy for different areas of the face, neck, and body, for consistent and highly personalized results.

During treatment, the needles create tightly controlled micro-injuries deep within the skin while simultaneously delivering RF energy into the dermis. This combination triggers the body’s natural healing process and stimulates both collagen and elastin remodeling. The result is significant skin tightening along with observable improvement in deeper skin concerns, including laxity, uneven tone, and acne scarring.

Because Silkro RF addresses issues at multiple layers of the skin, patients often see more dramatic improvements in firmness, texture, and overall skin quality compared to traditional microneedling alone.

Our Microneedling Process

At Ferguson Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, we provide a comfortable environment for our microneedling services in San Antonio, TX, using advanced technology and proven methods. Here’s how your experience works:

Personalized Consultation

During your consultation, our team will assess your skin type, concerns, and goals to design a customized treatment plan. We’ll explain how Silkro RF microneedling works as an advanced form of collagen induction therapy. This personalized approach allows us to target skin laxity, texture, tone, and scarring for more effective and natural-looking results.

Your Treatment Session

Before treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. The Silkro device then creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin while delivering RF thermal energy deep into the dermis. This dual action stimulates powerful collagen and elastin remodeling, making it highly effective for skin laxity, deeper textural issues, and acne scarring. Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes.

Post-Treatment Care and Results

Post-treatment, mild redness or swelling may occur, but it usually subsides within a few days. Follow the aftercare instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure and applying soothing products. Over the following weeks, your skin will continue to improve in tone, firmness, and texture, with the SilkRo RF energy helping to accelerate the healing process. You can expect gradual but noticeable improvements in your skin’s overall appearance.

Maintenance & Touch-Up Treatments

While Silkro RF microneedling delivers long-lasting results, many patients choose periodic maintenance sessions to keep stimulating collagen production and preserving youthful results. Maintenance is especially beneficial for ongoing concerns such as wrinkles, acne scars, or sun damage.

Dr. Ferguson and his team will design a personalized treatment plan that includes touch-up sessions as needed, along with recommendations for skincare products that support healing and help maintain smoother, younger-looking skin.

Exosome Therapy for Enhanced Results:

In addition to Silkro RF alone, patients can enhance their treatment with the option of an exosomal-packed serum application. Because the microchannels created during microneedling RF remain open for 6–8 hours, this nutrient-rich serum, which is packed with collagen-building proteins, amino acids, and growth factors, can penetrate deeply into the skin. Traditionally used in regenerative medicine, Exosome therapy significantly boosts the tightening, smoothing, and scar-reducing effects of Silkro RF by accelerating healing and amplifying collagen remodeling.

Complementary Procedures

For comprehensive skin rejuvenation, many patients choose to combine microneedling with additional procedures. Dr. Ferguson may recommend:

Packages for multiple sessions at a reduced cost

Options to combine Silkro RF with Exosome therapy or other treatments for enhanced, long-term results

Botox® and Dermal Fillers to reduce wrinkles, restore volume, and enhance facial contours

Acne scar revision for patients with deep scarring that requires layered treatment

Medical-grade skincare products to protect and maintain improvements between treatments

These procedures can be performed alongside Silkro RF microneedling or scheduled as part of a customized plan to minimize downtime and optimize overall results.

Silkro RF microneedling uses fine, AI-guided needles to create precise micro-injuries in the skin while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis. This dual action stimulates collagen and elastin remodeling, significantly tightening the skin and improving deeper concerns such as laxity, scarring, and uneven tone.

Is Silkro RF microneedling suitable for all skin types?

Yes. Silkro RF can be used on a wide range of skin types, including darker tones. Unlike traditional microneedling or laser options, it carries a much lower risk of hyperpigmentation, making it a more effective option for patients with more melanin-rich skin.

How many treatments will I need?

Most patients achieve optimal results with a series of 3–6 treatments spaced several weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on your individual goals, skin condition, and the areas being treated. Results continue to improve for months as collagen and elastin production increase.

What areas of the body can be treated?

Silkro RF can be performed on the face, neck, and body. It effectively addresses wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, and skin laxity. The treatment is fully customizable, allowing us to target specific concerns or treat larger areas for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Is there any downtime after Silkro RF microneedling?

Most patients experience mild redness or swelling for 24–48 hours, with some temporary sensitivity or flaking as the skin heals. Downtime is minimal compared to other resurfacing treatments, and patients can typically resume most daily activities quickly. Following aftercare instructions and protecting your skin from sun exposure are key to optimal healing and results.
