Welcome to Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery for RF microneedling in NYC on Park Avenue.
RF Microneedling in NYC partners the power of microneedling with radio frequency energy to create more dramatic results than microneedling alone. The Morpheus8 system uses tiny sterile needles to safely and precisely stimulate collagen production while the radio frequency energy gently heats the deeper layers of the skin.
Transform Your Skin
Certain skin concerns aren’t treatable with skincare products alone, including stretch marks and scars. RF Microneedling in NYC can help eradicate these issues.
Through a combination of microneedling and radio frequency energy, Morpheus8 can penetrate more deeply than other microneedling treatments. It’s the only treatment that can mold fat under the skin to achieve contouring results as well as resurfacing.

RF Microneedling
How it Works
Consultation
Procedure
Recovery & Downtime

During your consultation, our aesthetic providers will ask about your medical history, examine your skin, and answer any questions you have about RF microneedling.
We typically recommend a series of 3 to 5 treatments for optimal results.

We apply a topical anesthetic ahead of time for your comfort. Your treatment time will depend on the size of the area being treated.
Most often your appointment will last 30 to 60 minutes.

Immediately after an RF micro-needling treatment, the skin can appear flushed like a light sunburn to deeper pink with pinpoint bleeding for deeper treatments.
Typically, any redness will resolve within 1 or 2 days. You can use ice packs or cool compresses to soothe the skin. Practice good sun protection and avoid abrasive topicals or treatments for at least 1 week.
Frequently Asked Questions
RF Microneedling
Does RF Microneedling hurt?
Deeper micro-needling treatments can be uncomfortable, so we typically apply a topical anesthetic ahead of time to reduce any discomfort. More superficial treatments are well-tolerated with no anesthetic.
How soon will I see results from RF microneedling?
Some patients see results in as little as 1 treatment, but most will see optimal results after a series of 3 treatments.
What’s the difference between RF microneedling and regular microneedling?
RF Microneedling adds radio-frequency energy to the traditional microneedling process, allowing us to treat the deeper layers of the skin. The RF energy gently heats the skin, further boosting the production of collagen and producing faster, more dramatic results than microneedling alone.

Lisa Vasquez was amazing and I couldn’t be happier with not only the results but the entire experience. From the start Lisa was super helpful, her evaluation was direct and she delivered her ideas in a way that made me feel hopeful that I could get the results I wanted! She is super kind and empathetic and she really just made the whole experience so warm. In addition, she is a true artist. She easily explained where I needed attention and where I didn’t and she offered different pricing options depending on the outcome I wanted. Most importantly, let me tell you about the results, amazing! She approaches things to create the most natural looking outcomes (soft and sophisticated) and that is what happened, and I couldn’t be happier about how things turned out. She is really meant to do this job, she is just so cool and I will be with her for life!

Choosing the right plastic surgeon is one of the most important decisions I’ve had to make. It took me over 6 months of research before I found Dr. Pearlman. It was very important to me to find a surgeon highly skilled in performing ethnic rhinoplasties (specifically African American) which can be among the most complex of rhinoplasty surgeries. Dr. Pearlman is dual-board certified. He’s the only surgeon in my search who posts his Curriculum Vitae on his website. As someone who works in the medical profession as a DNP, I greatly appreciate the ability to see Dr. Pearlman’s educational background, where he trained (residency and fellowship), as well as his speaking and teaching events and awards, recognitions, and professional affiliations. The next thing I wanted to see prior to making my decision was before and after photos. Dr. Pearlman’s site was the only one where there were several pictures of my particular ethnicity. In addition to that, he has photos and bios of his staff who are also very ethnically diverse (which I love).
I scheduled my consultation and the second I met Dr. Pearlman I knew he was the surgeon for me. He’s very friendly and kind. It’s extremely important to have a good rapport with your surgeon. As soon as you walk in the door, you’re greeted with a smile and very friendly staff. I felt welcomed as if I were a family member. Everyone I met had a smile and a friendly disposition. That was a great experience. I told Dr. Pearlman what I didn’t like about my nose and what I wanted changed. He patiently explained anatomy, function, the surgical process, and outcome. Dr. Pearlman answered the few questions I had after his thorough explanation. We were both on the same page regarding maintaining my ethnic identity while achieving my desired goals. At that point I made the decision to have Dr. Pearlman perform my surgery.
The day of surgery everyone , especially Tiffany RN, made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. That morning when I saw Dr. Pearlman before surgery, he had a smile and a calming voice and I was instantly at ease and ready. After surgery I truly felt fine. I had no pain whatsoever. I felt a mild burning inside my nose similar to that of a paper cut. I had the cast on and a dressing under my nose above my upper lip. To my surprise I had no difficulty breathing at all. A testament to the great skills of Dr. Pearlman. Not once during my recovery did I have a problem breathing.
I had an open rhinoplasty where an incision is made on the underside of the nose between the nostrils (columella). The incision is done in somewhat of a z shaped pattern. My main concern was scarring and keloid formation. About 2 months post-op I couldn’t even see any sign of the incision. I’m constantly looking at my nose in a 10x magnification mirror and there’s no evidence of a scar at all. Again, attributing to Dr. Pearlman’s skills.
It’s been just about six months since my surgery and I can honestly say choosing Dr. Pearlman was the best decision. I still have a lot of swelling (ethnic rhinoplasty takes a little longer for the swelling to subside due to the thickness of our skin) and I like what I see so far. My nose is just going to get better and I’m going to love it. I’m truly thankful to Dr. Pearlman. If I had to do it over again, would I choose Dr. Pearlman? A thousand percent yes! He’s the best.

Lisa is simply amazing! Her very calm, attentive and secure demeanor serves her well in the world of aesthetics. Her comforting nature put me at ease while she was working on my face. She's very knowledgeable and took time to address all my questions/concerns. If you are considering cosmetic work I would absolutely recommend Lisa @ Pearlman aesthetic surgery.
