Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling

Microneedling + radiofrequency to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, pigmentation, fine lines, pores, and scars.

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is the ideal treatment for:

Lax skin
Wrinkles
Fine lines
Enlarged pores
Pigmentation
Scars from surgery, acne or injuries

Poor skin texture
Acne scars
Sun damage
Scars
Overall skin appearance

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a non-laser therapy that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency technology. Together, this treatment stimulates collagen production and tightens tissue to address lax skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, pigmentation, fine lines and pores. Combined with LED light therapy, RF microneedling is also beneficial for revising scars resulting from surgical procedures, injuries and acne.

RF microneedling is a comfortable and simple treatment with little downtime that delivers energy at various depths so that it can be tailored to address your individual concerns. It is the ideal therapy to refine poor skin texture, including crepiness and sun damage, and is great for hard-to-treat areas, especially on the lower face:

Upper lip
Jowls
Double chin
Downturned mouth

Marionette lines (mouth to chin)
Accordion lines (lower cheeks)
Neck
Décolletage

How does radiofrequency (RF) microneedling work?

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling combines two popular modalities to deliver the best results in skin tightening, especially in hard-to-treat areas around the lower half of the face. It effectively smooths and firms the skin.

The radiofrequency technology delivers energy into deeper layers of the skin than traditional microneedling to treat wrinkles and acne scars at a more effective level. The heat created by the radiofrequency stimulates tightness in connective tissues.

The microneedling component of the therapy creates the slightest possible micro-wounds to promote the production of collagen, which is what gives our skin its firm elasticity.

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling heals quickly with little downtime, revealing smoother, tighter, and more refined skin. Our patients enjoy overall improvement in their skin after just one treatment, and the most improvement after three sessions.

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling stimulates collagen production and is ideal for your concerns with lax skin, wrinkles and lines, big pores, pigmentation, poor skin texture, scars, sun damage, and more.

Does radiofrequency (RF) microneedling hurt?

Your skin will be numbed with topical numbing cream prior to the RF microneedling procedure. You may feel some heat, but most patients find it very tolerable.

How long does radiofrequency (RF) microneedling take?

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling takes about 40 minutes to an hour.

We recommend 1-3 sessions with maintenance follow-up treatments required every 12-18 months for the continued benefit of your skin’s appearance.

What should I expect during and after my radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment?

Your skin will be numbed with a topical anaesthetic to minimise discomfort. The treatment is generally comfortable and non-invasive. Your skin will be red and possibly swollen for 1-3 days.

After treatment you might feel a mild stinging sensation, redness and some swelling (like sunburn) that usually subsides after 24 hours.

Will I require downtime or experience any side effects after radiofrequency (RF) microneedling?

You may be red for a few hours after RF microneedling, but this gradually fades. The technology allows energy to be delivered under the skin without damaging tissue or using chemicals, which means little downtime.

How long do RF microneedling results last? How many treatments should I have?

We recommend a course of three RF microneedling treatments for optimum results. We usually recommend to have a treatment in around 12-18 months to maintain best results.
