Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling

What is Radio frequency Microneedling?

A dual-wave RF microneedling – pulse wave and continuous wave radio frequency – to improve the overall appearance of your skin.

How does RF Microneedling work?

It works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin using ultra-fine needles which are then infused with radio frequency energy. This stimulates collagen production, improves skin texture and tone, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, shrinks pores, and gives you a brighter, more youthful complexion.

Plus, it is suitable for all skin types, making it a versatile solution for various skin concerns.

Benefits of RF Microneedling

The benefits it can offer your skin:

• Improved skin texture and tone: The combination of pulse wave and radio frequency microneedling stimulates collagen production, which helps improve the overall texture and tone of your skin. You’ll notice a smoother and more even complexion after just one session.
• Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles: As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and collagen, resulting in fine lines and wrinkles. RF Microneedling helps boost collagen production, making your skin plumper and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Shrinking of pores: Enlarged pores are a common concern for many, especially those with oily or acne-prone skin. RF Microneedling can help tighten enlarged pores, giving your skin a smoother and more refined look.
• Brighter, more radiant complexion: The treatment also targets hyperpigmentation and dark spots, resulting in a brighter and more even complexion. Say goodbye to dull skin and hello to a youthful glow.

What can RF Microneedling treat?

The great thing about this treatment is that it is suitable for all skin types. Whether you have oily, dry, or sensitive skin, you can benefit from RF microneedling. It is also beneficial for those with concerns such as:

• Acne scars: The controlled micro-injuries created by the ultra-fine needles help break down scar tissue and stimulate collagen production, resulting in smoother and more even-looking skin.
• Rosacea: The pulse wave technology in RF microneedling can help reduce redness and inflammation associated with rosacea, giving you a calmer and more even complexion.
• Hyperpigmentation: Whether it’s from sun damage or hormonal changes, hyperpigmentation can be challenging to treat. RF Microneedling targets the pigmented areas, resulting in a more even skin tone.
• Melasma: This skin condition is characterised by dark patches on the face and is often difficult to treat. RF Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of melasma and improve overall skin tone.
• Pores: The treatment can help tighten enlarged pores, giving your skin a more refined and even texture.
• Ageing skin: As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and becomes thinner, resulting in fine lines and wrinkles. RF Microneedling helps boost collagen production, making your skin appear plumper and more youthful.
• Lifts and tighten skin: Radio frequency energy can also penetrate deeper layers of the skin, resulting in firmer and tighter skin. This gives you a more defined jawline and lifted cheekbones.
• Stretch marks: The treatment can also be used to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, especially those that are still red or purple in colour.

What to expect during a RF Microneedling treatment

Now that you know who can benefit from this treatment, let’s talk about what happens during a session:

Pre-treatment consultation and assessment

Before starting any treatment, your doctor will conduct a thorough consultation to assess your skin concerns and determine if RF microneedling is the right solution for you. They will also explain the treatment process and answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Preparation of the skin

Once you are ready to proceed with the treatment, your doctor will cleanse your skin and apply a numbing cream to ensure your comfort during the procedure.

The treatment process

The RF microneedling handpiece is then gently pressed onto the skin, creating tiny micro-injuries with minimal discomfort. The device simultaneously delivers radio frequency energy into these micro-channels, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture and tone. Depending on the size of the area being treated, a session can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.

Post-treatment care and recovery

After the treatment, your doctor will apply a soothing serum and sunscreen to protect your skin. You may experience some redness, mild swelling, or pinpoint bleeding immediately after the treatment, but these side effects should subside within a few hours.

To ensure optimal results and minimise any potential risks, it is essential to follow your doctor’s post-treatment care instructions carefully. This may include avoiding sun exposure and wearing SPF regularly, using gentle skincare products, and avoiding strenuous physical activity for a few days.

Side Effects of RF Microneedling

You can expect some redness following a rosacea treatment. Similarly, side effects will be more noticeable depending on your specific skin concern.

Results and Maintenance

The number of sessions needed may vary depending on your skin concerns and goals, but 4-6 sessions are recommended.

Results can last up to a year with proper maintenance and care. This includes using SPF daily, following a good skincare routine tailored to your skin type, and avoiding excessive sun exposure and harsh products.

To maintain the benefits of RF microneedling, it is also recommended to undergo maintenance sessions every 6 months or as advised by your doctor. This will help ensure that your skin remains smooth, radiant, and youthful-looking.
