Radiofrequency microneedling is a cosmetic procedure. It uses tiny needles and radiofrequency waves to rejuvenate facial skin.
The treatment is a form of controlled skin injury. The damage stimulates the growth of healthy new skin, which can benefit common skin issues like acne scars and wrinkles.
Compared with treatments like chemical peels and dermabrasion, radiofrequency microneedling is minimally invasive.
Is RF microneedling better than microneedling?
Traditional microneedling is good for slower and more subtle rejuvenation.
If you are looking for improved results, RF microneedling is recommended for enhancing the overall tone and texture of the skin as it better facilitates the production of collagen and elastin.
Rf Microneedling as an extension of our Microneedling treatment, the radio frequency addition helps to penetrate the skin and focus heat into the dermis, to maximise the trigger for collagen and elastin production.
As the point of the needle pierces the skin, it will emit these radio frequency waves into the channels causing further damage yet enhancing the efficacy of the treatment.
Radiofrequency microneedling is considered safe, but it isn’t appropriate for everyone.
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
- are in good health
- have early signs of aging
- have realistic expectations
Alternatively, you should avoid the treatment if you:
- have an active cold sore breakout
- have a skin infection
- have a moderate to severe skin disease (like psoriasis)
- are receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy
- are pregnant
- are taking anticoagulants
- have a history of keloids, hypertrophic scarring, or poor wound healing
To obtain optimal results I recommend 3 to 6 treatments, with an interval of 4 weeks between each session. The peak of results is usually reached after 3 to 4 months. It is notable that the majority of people experience positive results after just one treatment. Many people choose to undergo a total of 3 treatments to further optimize the improvements. This often improves the initial result even further and optimizes the overall skin condition even more.

The treatment is suitable for people with lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, crow’s feet, acne, acne scars, pigmentation, large pores, stretch marks, smoker’s skin and sun-damaged skin.
This treatment is suitable for both face and body.
After treatment
After the treatment, the skin may be somewhat red and / or swollen, this will disappear by itself. You can continue with your daily activities. Mineral make-up may be used at any time after the treatment.
We do recommend that you use a sunscreen with a high UV factor to prevent complaints.
