Radio Frequency Microneedling
What is RF Microneedling?
RF (Radio Frequency) Microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that combines the collagen-inducing benefits of traditional microneedling with the tightening effects of radio frequency energy. While microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating natural healing and collagen production, RF energy is delivered directly into the deeper layers through the needles. This dual action enhances skin renewal, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
How It Works
-
Microneedling: Fine needles create microchannels in the skin, encouraging the body’s repair process and boosting collagen and elastin production.
-
Radio Frequency: Thermal energy penetrates deep into the dermis, tightening existing collagen fibres and further stimulating new collagen and elastin formation.
Together, these processes remodel the skin from within for long-lasting improvements.

Treatment Experience
A topical numbing cream is usually applied before the procedure to ensure comfort. During treatment, you may feel slight pressure and warmth as the needles and RF energy are applied. Skin may appear slightly red or flushed afterward, similar to a mild sunburn, but most clients can resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.
Results
Visible improvements often appear within a few weeks as new collagen develops, with results continuing to build for up to 3–6 months. For best outcomes, a course of treatments is usually recommended, tailored to individual skin concerns and goals.
Who Can Benefit?
RF Microneedling is suitable for clients seeking natural-looking skin rejuvenation without surgery or significant downtime. It is especially effective for those with early signs of aging, acne scarring, or loss of firmness.
