Microneedling
Microneedling is a standard procedure that can safely and effectively address a range of skin concerns. Traditional microneedling uses a special device that creates micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s own healing response. Collagen and elastin production are initiated, which effectively tightens skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and acne scarring.

What is Fractional RF Micro-Needling?
RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy to the traditional microneedling procedure. The RF energy is delivered via small needles into the dermis, further enhancing skin tightening and scar reduction. The RF energy heats the underlying layers, causing constriction and tightening of the skin, as well as the stimulation of collagen and elastin production. Because the RF energy is delivered so deeply, it can produce faster and more dramatic results, plumping up the skin while evening skin tone and texture to create a brighter and more youthful complexion.
What to expect
Topical anaesthetic is applied prior to treatment to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Treatment usually takes about an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. Skin is typically red for the first day or two after treatment, but the redness is typically mild and much less than is often seen with laser procedures. There is little or no discomfort after the procedure and patients typically are able to return to regular activities within a day. Makeup can be applied 24 hours after the procedure to mask any residual redness.
Most patients will achieve full results with 2-3 treatment sessions four weeks apart.
RF microneedling can offer similar results to ablative laser procedures, but with much less discomfort and downtime.
