Background We have employed radiofrequency microneedling devices in our practice with favorable patient results. Rejuvenation, acne, acne scars, and skin laxity are the most common concerns that we treat with radiofrequency microneedling devices. Patient selection, preparation, and post‐procedure follow up can improve clinical outcomes and safety while increasing patient satisfaction. Aims The purpose of this review is to highlight radiofrequency microneedling methods and present our clinical experience. Materials and Methods Articles from PubMed are highlighted and our clinical experience is presented. Results Radiofrequency microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for acne scars, hyperhidrosis, rosacea, skin laxity and skin rejuvenation and is a key device for any cosmetic dermatologist. Discussion Dermatologists should consider adding radiofrequency microneedling devices to their treatments offered to patients for a variety of indications.
