What if looking like a swollen pumpkin for three days meant better skin for the next year?

Host Dr. Kate Dee takes you behind the scenes of her own RF microneedling and laser resurfacing treatment, showing you exactly what happens from the moment numbing cream goes on to the final recovery stages.

No filters, no editing out the swelling, just the real experience. You'll see how powerful topical anesthetics work, what the procedure actually feels like, and why some medspas can't legally offer the same level of numbing that makes this treatment tolerable.

Dr. Dee breaks down the difference between insulated and uninsulated needles, explains why not all RF microneedling devices are created equal, and shares the exact protocols that prevent complications like fat loss and scarring.

You’ll understand what questions to ask before booking RF microneedling anywhere. You'll learn how to spot red flags in pricing, why proper licensing matters for this procedure, and what realistic results look like over time. Dr. Dee also covers maintenance schedules, cost ranges in major cities, and why some patients end up with hyperpigmentation while others don't.

Stay until the end to hear the three essential questions you must ask any provider before letting them perform this treatment on your skin. Dr. Dee explains exactly what answers should make you walk away and what responses signal you've found a safe, qualified practice.
