Microneedle RF therapy is a popular treatment that works beneath the skin surface to improve texture, tone, and firmness. It does this by combining microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy.
What does that exactly mean?
Read on for the answer and find out just what you can expect during each treatment session and whether you’re a good candidate.
Microneedle RF Therapy uses ultra-fine needles to deliver radiofrequency energy deep into multiple layers of the skin. As the microneedles create tiny micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, the resulting healing response improves the skin from within.
As we get older, collagen production naturally slows down, giving rise to sagging, dullness, and fine lines. By triggering controlled micro-injuries and delivering heat below the surface, microneedle RF encourages deep collagen renewal, tightening the skin and improving elasticity over time.
Textural irregularities, such as rough patches, mild acne scarring, and uneven skin tone, can make the skin look tired or aged. Microneedle RF promotes cell turnover and tissue remodelling, helping to even out the skin surface and soften imperfections.
Enlarged pores are often due to excess oil production, loss of skin elasticity, or damage from acne. The heat and stimulation from RF energy help tighten pore walls and reduce oil gland activity, resulting in even skin with refined pores.
Microneedle RF enhances skin laxity by stimulating the production of structural proteins in the dermis. This leads to firm and lifted skin, particularly in delicate areas like the cheeks, jawline, and under the eyes.
The treatment stimulates skin renewal without surgery.
Most patients have only mild redness or sensitivity, which usually subsides within 24–48 hours.
Microneedle RF is safe and effective for various skin types and tones, with less risk of pigmentation.
Skin improvements develop gradually and appear natural, with no overdone or artificial look.
Suitable for the face, neck, and even body areas like the abdomen or arms, it treats multiple concerns in one solution.
With the necessary number of treatments for your conditions, results can last several months, especially when supported with good skincare and maintenance.
Your aesthetic doctor will assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and determine if microneedle RF is suitable for you.
They will apply a numbing cream to minimise discomfort during the procedure.
Your doctor will glide the microneedle RF device across the treated area. You might feel a mild tingling or warmth, but most patients find it very tolerable.
After the session, your skin may appear slightly red, but it should subside within 24 to 48 hours. You may experience mild dryness or flaking as your skin begins to renew.
Use a gentle cleanser, moisturiser, and broad-spectrum sunscreen. Avoid sun exposure, active skincare ingredients, and makeup for at least 24 hours.
Results improve gradually over the next 2 to 4 weeks as new collagen forms, with continued improvement for up to three months. For ideal results, we recommend a series of 3 to 4 sessions.
