RF Microneedling (Radiofrequency Microneedling) is an advanced cosmetic procedure that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This combination enhances skin tightening, collagen production, and overall skin rejuvenation, making it effective for treating a wide range of skin concerns. Our practice offers both traditional Microneedling and RF Microneedling service.

​

How RF Microneedling Works:

• Microneedling Component: Tiny needles penetrate the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen and elastin production.

• Radiofrequency Energy: Simultaneously, RF energy is delivered into the deeper layers of the skin through the needle tips, generating heat.

• Collagen Stimulation: The combination of mechanical injury and thermal energy boosts the natural healing process, leading to tighter, smoother, and more youthful skin.

 

Benefits of RF Microneedling:

• Skin Tightening: RF energy heats the dermis, resulting in significant skin tightening and lifting.

• Collagen and Elastin Production: Enhances the skin's structure and firmness.

• Reduces Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Smooths out signs of aging.

• Improves Acne Scars: Effectively diminishes the appearance of atrophic and rolling acne scars.

• Minimizes Pores: Reduces the size of enlarged pores.

• Reduces Stretch Marks: Improves the texture and appearance of stretch marks.

• Evens Skin Tone: Helps fade pigmentation and sun damage.

• Minimal Downtime: Faster recovery compared to traditional ablative procedures.

 

Target Areas:

• Face: Wrinkles, acne scars, sagging skin.

• Neck: Loose skin and horizontal lines.

• Décolletage: Sun damage and skin laxity.

• Body: Stretch marks and areas of skin laxity (e.g., abdomen, arms, thighs).

 

Procedure Overview:

1. Preparation: Skin is cleansed, and a numbing cream is applied for 30-45 minutes.

2. Treatment: The RF microneedling device is moved over the treatment area, delivering microneedles and RF energy.

3. Duration: Typically 30-60 minutes, depending on the area treated.
