Radiofrequency Microneedling


Radiofrequency microneedling combines controlled microneedling with radiofrequency energy to target the deeper layers of the skin.

It may be considered for concerns such as skin texture, acne scarring, fine lines and reduced firmness, depending on individual assessment.

What Can RF Microneedling Be Used For?


Treatment may be considered for:

  • Acne scarring
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Enlarged pores
  • Fine lines
  • Reduced skin firmness
  • Mild skin laxity
  • General skin rejuvenation

How Does It Work?


The treatment uses fine microneedles to deliver controlled radiofrequency energy into selected skin depths.

The aim is to create a controlled response that may support collagen remodelling over time. Results vary between individuals.

Is It Suitable for Everyone?


No. Suitability depends on factors such as:

  • Skin type
  • Active acne
  • Scarring pattern
  • Skin sensitivity
  • Medical history
  • Previous procedures
  • Treatment goals

Expected downtime and potential risks should be discussed before treatment.
