FDA's Stern Warning on RF Microneedling
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a critical safety communication on October 15, 2025, spotlighting serious complications associated with radiofrequency (RF) microneedling devices. These advanced tools, designed for dermatologic and aesthetic procedures, employ minuscule electrodes to deliver targeted RF energy and heat beneath the skin's surface. Their intended purpose is to enhance skin's appearance by addressing wrinkles, promoting skin tightening, and minimizing the visibility of scars. However, recent reports have brought to light significant adverse events that demand immediate attention from both healthcare providers and consumers.
