Tighten, lift, and smooth your skin naturally with PiXel8-RF Microneedling treatments at Clarity Acne & Aesthetics in Suffolk, VA—non-surgical, collagen-boosting care.
At Clarity Acne & Aesthetics, we offer PiXel8-RF Microneedling, one of the most advanced skin tightening technologies available, for patients who want natural, non-surgical skin rejuvenation. Combining the collagen-inducing power of microneedling with precise radiofrequency (RF) energy, PiXel8-RF tightens, lifts, and smooths skin from within, restoring a youthful appearance without surgery or fillers.
Led by Deborah Quinn, DNP, a double board-certified dermatology nurse practitioner with 18 years of dermatology and procedural expertise, our team takes a scientific and medically grounded approach to RF microneedling. Whether you’re looking to treat skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or stretch marks, PiXel8-RF offers customizable, effective treatment plans tailored to your skin's unique needs.
Simply put, the PiXel8-RF is one of the safest and newest RF energy micro-needling devices in aesthetic medicine. It’s a safe, non-surgical skin treatment that uses heat to go deep into the skin’s layers to stimulate and remodel collagen, while triggering elastin cells to regenerate simultaneously. Once this process is complete, the skin will be firmer and smoother, while having a more healthy and youthful appearance.
Unlike traditional microneedling, PiXel8-RF’s addition of RF energy allows us to target deeper layers of skin, making it an ideal solution for patients seeking lifting, tightening, and scar revision without surgery.
At Clarity Acne & Aesthetics, every PiXel8-RF Microneedling treatment is a precision-driven, elevated experience—designed to restore firmness, smooth wrinkles, and improve skin texture without surgery or downtime. From your private consultation to post-treatment care, we focus on luxury, comfort, and natural-looking results tailored just for you.
Your PiXel8-RF journey begins with an in-depth consultation with Deborah Quinn, DNP, a double board-certified dermatology nurse practitioner. Together, you’ll review your skin concerns and aesthetic goals, and Deborah will create a personalized treatment plan based on your skin type, tone, and areas of focus—whether it’s skin laxity, fine lines, acne scars, or overall rejuvenation.
To ensure maximum comfort, a luxury-grade topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area and allowed to activate for approximately 30–45 minutes. This step ensures that your procedure is as comfortable as possible, even as the microneedles and radiofrequency work deeply to stimulate collagen.
Once your skin is fully prepped, Deborah Quinn performs the treatment using the PiXel8-RF device, which utilizes gold-plated microneedles to gently penetrate the skin. As the needles create microchannels, radiofrequency (RF) energy is simultaneously delivered deep into the dermis to stimulate collagen and tighten tissue.
Each area is treated with customizable depth and energy levels, allowing Deborah to tailor the intensity based on your goals—whether lifting sagging skin, smoothing acne scars, or reducing fine lines.

PiXel8-RF microneedling is minimally invasive, with short recovery time. After treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, and sensitivity, similar to a light sunburn, for 24–48 hours.
Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 days. We recommend avoiding intense exercise, heat exposure, and makeup on the treated area for 24 hours to support optimal healing. Full aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure the best results.
Results from PiXel8-RF develop gradually as collagen and elastin build over time. Many patients begin to see improvements in skin tightness and texture within 4–6 weeks, with continued improvement over the next 3–6 months. Patients love PiXel8-RF because it delivers real, natural-looking tightening and smoothing — without the downtime or risks of surgery.
For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6–12 months.
