Sublative RF microneedling improves skin texture, pores, and acne scars at Express Med Spa Mount Greenwood Chicago

Why texture keeps getting in the way

Rough patches and pitted scars make fine lines look deeper. Pores stand out in bright light. Makeup settles instead of blending. Day to day, it’s frustrating—and fixable with a plan that fits your skin and schedule.

A clinical approach—guided by licensed APRNs

Treatments are performed by licensed nurse practitioners and trained clinicians in a clean medical setting. Our sublative, fractional RF device delivers controlled heat through micro-channels to trigger new collagen and elastin while sparing the surface. Expect individualized energy settings, clear explanations, and honest timelines—no hype. Results build gradually; results vary.

Benefits patients ask for

(Plans are personalized; results vary.)

Refined texture & smaller-looking pores
Fractional RF heats the dermis to remodel collagen so skin appears smoother and pores look tighter over time.

Softer acne scars
Energy targets scar tissue while protecting nearby skin, helping pitted scars look shallower across a series.

Subtle skin tightening
Controlled dermal heating supports firmer, more lifted-looking contours along the lower face and jawline.

Makeup sits better
A smoother canvas helps products lay evenly for that smooth, glowy skin look.

What to expect at our Mount Greenwood clinic

  • Consult (APRN-led)
    We review your skin, history, and goals. We discuss candidacy, alternatives, and a realistic plan. Many clients need 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks; deeper scars may need 3–5.
  • Customize
    We map zones and set energy to your skin type. Strong topical numbing is applied. Most people feel mild pressure or a slight prickling; a gentle warmth signals collagen stimulation.
  • Treat
    Once numbed, a session typically takes 30–60 minutes. Expect pinkness and mild swelling as you leave.
  • Recover
    Day 1–2: redness and mild swelling.
    Days 3–7: light flaking as skin renews.
    ~4 weeks: early smoothing is often noticed; collagen remodeling continues for months after your series. Results vary.
