At Sonia Cosmetic Clinic in North York, we offer RF Fractional Gold Microneedling — a treatment that combines ultra-fine needles with radiofrequency energy to drive collagen remodelling deep into the dermis. The result is measurably better improvement in acne scars, skin laxity, enlarged pores, and uneven texture than standard microneedling alone.

About the Treatment
RF Microneedling — also called RF Fractional or Gold Microneedling — is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that takes standard microneedling a significant step further. While traditional microneedling creates micro-channels to stimulate surface collagen, RF microneedling delivers radiofrequency energy directly through the needle tips deep into the dermis where structural collagen and elastin live.
The heat from the RF energy triggers a more intense collagen remodelling response at the dermis level. This is what makes it substantially more effective for moderate to deep acne scars, skin laxity, enlarged pores, and thickened or uneven texture compared to standard microneedling.
The treatment is performed over one hour. A topical numbing cream is applied first for comfort. Results build progressively over 4 to 8 weeks as new collagen forms, and most clients see their best results after a course of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
At Sonia Cosmetic Clinic in North York, every RF microneedling session is performed personally by Maryam. She adjusts the needle depth and RF energy level to your skin type, concern, and how your skin has responded in previous sessions.
Understanding the Difference
Both treatments use fine needles to stimulate the skin. RF microneedling adds a significant layer of technology that produces deeper, more durable results.
What It Treats
RF Fractional Gold Microneedling is one of the most versatile skin resurfacing treatments available. It addresses a wide range of concerns in a single course of treatment.
The Process
The treatment follows a precise sequence. Each step prepares the skin for the next and ensures both comfort and optimal results.
Topical numbing cream is applied and left on for 20 to 30 minutes until the skin is fully comfortable before the device touches it.
Maryam assesses your skin and sets the needle depth and RF energy level appropriate for your skin type, concern, and session number.
The handpiece passes across the treatment area. Fine needles penetrate the skin and deliver RF energy precisely at the dermis level, triggering deep collagen remodelling.
A calming serum or mask is applied after treatment. Maryam provides specific aftercare instructions before you leave.
Pricing
Each session is one hour and includes skin assessment, numbing, full RF treatment, and aftercare guidance. No hidden fees. Most clients complete a course of 3 to 6 sessions for best results.
Sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal collagen remodelling between treatments.
Your Treatment Journey
Maryam assesses your skin, discusses your goals, and sets realistic expectations for your specific concerns.
Treatment begins. Redness and mild swelling for 24 to 72 hours is normal and expected after your first session.
Collagen production peaks in the weeks after treatment. Skin texture and scarring begin to visibly improve.
Sessions continue every 4 to 6 weeks. Maryam adjusts depth and intensity as your skin responds and improves.
Best results are visible 3 to 6 months into a course as cumulative collagen remodelling reaches its peak.
After Your Session
Following these steps protects the skin during the critical healing window and helps you get the most from each session.

Who We Serve
Clients come to our North York clinic from across the GTA for RF Fractional Gold Microneedling.
Meet Your Specialist

Maryam has been performing advanced skin resurfacing treatments for clients across North York and the GTA for over three decades. She understands that RF microneedling is not a one-size-fits-all treatment — the depth, intensity, and spacing of sessions all matter enormously and must be adjusted to each individual's skin and response.
Her experience with all skin tones is particularly important here. Many RF microneedling providers are cautious or inexperienced with darker skin types. Maryam has the knowledge to treat all complexions safely and effectively, adjusting settings to protect surface pigmentation while still delivering meaningful results at the dermis level.
"RF microneedling is one of the most powerful tools I have for genuine skin improvement. Done correctly, the results speak for themselves. Done carelessly, it causes more harm than good. I take the calibration seriously every single time."
