‍Quadessy is the next generation of RF microneedling, and Minden Med Spa is proud to be among the first practices in Northern Nevada to offer it. It's faster than the RF microneedling you've read about, more comfortable than you're expecting, and it works with your own collagen — so the results look like you, only better rested.

What Is Quadessy RF Microneedling?

RF microneedling — short for radiofrequency microneedling — combines two of the most effective collagen-building treatments in aesthetics into a single session.

Ultra-fine needles create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, switching on your body's natural repair response. At the same time, radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers of the dermis, tightening the collagen you already have and telling your body to build more of it.

Nothing is added. Nothing is frozen. Your skin simply does what it did at 25 — with a little encouragement.

How HybridRF™ Technology Works

Quadessy is FDA-cleared and developed by Classys, a global leader in aesthetic technology. Its HybridRF™ system pairs non-invasive radiofrequency with minimally invasive RF microneedling in a single pass:

• First, the surface. Specialized plates in the handpiece gently pre-heat your skin, priming it for smoother needle delivery and an early collagen boost.
• Then, the depths. The microneedles deliver radiofrequency energy at up to two different depths at the same time — reaching both the papillary and reticular dermis.
• The result. More of your skin treated, more thoroughly, in a fraction of the time traditional RF microneedling takes.

Is Quadessy RF Microneedling Right for You?

If you're starting to see loss of firmness, texture changes, scarring, or simply skin that looks tired no matter how much sleep you get — you're exactly who this treatment was built for.

Living at 4,700 feet is wonderful for the soul and demanding on skin. High-desert sun, dry air, and 250+ days of Nevada sunshine a year accelerate collagen loss faster than most people realize. Quadessy is one of the most effective ways to give that collagen back.

Quadessy and Your Skin Tone

Because the radiofrequency energy is delivered beneath the surface rather than targeting pigment, RF microneedling is generally well suited to a wide range of skin tones. Dr. Nita Schwartz will confirm what's right for you at your consultation, review your health history, and tell you honestly if something else would serve you better. That's the part our clients tell us they appreciate most — we'd rather send you home with the right plan than sell you the wrong one.

Combining Quadessy With Other Treatments

Quadessy pairs beautifully with the rest of your routine, including neurotoxin, filler, medical peels, and medical-grade skincare. Many of our clients build it into a long-term skin health plan rather than treating it as a one-time fix. We'll help you sequence everything so each treatment supports the next.

What to Expect During Your Quadessy Treatment

Step 1: Your Free Consultation

We sit down together — no rush, no pressure — and talk about what's bothering you, what you've tried, and what you actually want your skin to look like. We'll build a plan and give you clear pricing before anything is scheduled.

Step 2: Numbing

If your treatment plan calls for it, we'll apply a topical numbing cream and let it do its work while you relax. Many clients are comfortable with little or none — we follow your lead.

Step 3: Your Treatment

Your provider glides the Quadessy handpiece across the treatment area. The plates pre-heat your skin, then the microneedles deliver radiofrequency at your customized depths. A full face can take as little as 15 minutes.

Step 4: Aftercare

We'll apply soothing post-care products and walk you through exactly what to do for the next few days. Then you go back to your life — no bandages, no hiding.

Quadessy Results: What to Expect and When

• Immediately after — a healthy flush and a subtle tightening effect. Skin looks plumper right away.
• Days 1–3 — mild redness, similar to a light sunburn, typically resolving by the end of treatment day. Some clients notice slight roughness or dryness as skin renews.
• Weeks 1–2 — texture smooths. Makeup starts sitting differently. This is when people start noticing.
• Weeks 4–6 — new collagen matures. Firmness, tone, and radiance continue building. This is where the real payoff shows up.
• 3–6 months — peak collagen remodeling. Results continue to hold with maintenance.

How Many RF Microneedling Treatments Will I Need?

It depends on your skin and your goals. Some clients are thrilled after a single session; most see their best results from a short series spaced a few weeks apart, followed by periodic maintenance. Dr. Schwartz will map out your plan at your consultation so you know exactly what you're investing and what to expect from it — no packages you didn't ask for.

Quadessy RF Microneedling: Frequently Asked Questions

How does Quadessy RF microneedling work?

First, specialized plates in the handpiece tip deliver energy to the skin's surface, pre-heating it for optimal microneedle delivery and initial collagen stimulation. Next, Quadessy delivers RF microneedling at up to two different depths in a single pass. This multi-layer approach produces more thorough, more effective results for skin tightening, pore reduction, and texture and tone improvement.

How long does a Quadessy treatment take?

HybridRF™ technology treats multiple skin layers at the same time, making treatments significantly shorter than traditional RF microneedling. A full face treatment can take as little as 15 minutes.

What does Quadessy RF microneedling feel like?

Quadessy was designed for comfort — from the unique pre-heating step to the smooth delivery of the microneedles. Most clients describe a warm, prickling sensation. Your provider may recommend numbing cream based on the treatment area and your personal preference.

When will I see results from RF microneedling?

Some results are visible immediately, but because you're stimulating your own collagen, improvements in radiance, texture, and tone continue developing over the next four to six weeks.

Is there downtime after RF microneedling?

Minimal. Most clients experience slight redness similar to a mild sunburn, which typically dissipates by the end of the day. We recommend waiting at least six hours before applying makeup, and being diligent with sunscreen — especially with our Nevada sun.

Can Quadessy treat more than my face?

Yes. Treatments can be customized for the face, neck, and select body areas, including areas of laxity, texture concerns, and scarring.

Is Quadessy safe?

Quadessy is FDA-cleared and developed by Classys, a world leader in aesthetic technology. Every treatment at Minden Med Spa is planned and overseen by Dr. Nita Schwartz, MD.

Is RF microneedling safe for darker skin tones?

Because the energy is delivered below the skin's surface rather than targeting pigment, RF microneedling is generally well suited to a broad range of skin tones. We'll confirm what's appropriate for you at your consultation.

How should I prepare for my Quadessy treatment?

We'll give you a simple written plan. In general: come in with clean skin and no makeup, and skip retinoids and exfoliating acids for a few days beforehand.

What should I do after my treatment?

Avoid intense heat, saunas, and heavy workouts for 24 hours, wait at least six hours before applying makeup, keep skin hydrated, and wear sunscreen every single day.

How much does RF microneedling cost in Minden, NV?

Pricing depends on the treatment area and the plan we build together. Your consultation is complimentary and includes clear, upfront pricing — call us at (775) 782-8485 to get started.
