The Procedure
The treatment is performed using a special device equipped with fine microneedles that penetrate the skin and deliver RF energy to the deeper layers. This dual-action approach induces controlled microtrauma, triggering collagen and elastin production. The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes and is well tolerated with the use of a topical anaesthetic cream.
About the Treatment

Following the procedure, mild redness and swelling may occur but these typically resolve within 24 to 72 hours.

Post-Treatment Care
After treatment, it is advised to:
- Avoid direct sun exposure

What You Need to Know
Is the procedure painful?
The treatment is well tolerated, as a topical anaesthetic cream is applied to minimise discomfort.
When will I see the final results of RF microneedling treatment?
Initial improvement can be seen within 2–3 weeks, with continued enhancement over the following months.
Is this treatment safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained professional, RF Microneedling is a safe procedure with minimal side effects.
How does RF Fractional Microneedling differ from standard microneedling?
By combining mechanical micro-injury with RF energy, RF Microneedling enhances the benefits of traditional microneedling, providing greater skin tightening and collagen stimulation.
How long do the results last?
Visible improvements begin early in the treatment course, with the skin continuing to regenerate. As ageing progresses, maintenance sessions may be required to sustain the results.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions required depends on individual skin concerns. During your consultation, we will create a personalised treatment plan and provide an estimated number of sessions needed to achieve your desired outcome.
How long should I wait between sessions?
Sessions are typically spaced 3–4 weeks apart.
Can RF Microneedling be used on areas other than the face?
Yes, this treatment is highly effective on other body areas, such as the neck, décolletage, and abdomen, improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, and enhancing firmness.
Are there any side effects?
RF Microneedling is a low-risk procedure, but mild redness, bruising, or itching may occur. These side effects typically subside within a few days.
