What is Radio Frequency Micro-needling?

Radio Frequency Micro-needling is an advanced cosmetic procedure that combines the benefits of traditional micro-needling with the skin-tightening effects of radio frequency energy. This minimally invasive treatment involves the use of ultra-fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production, while simultaneously delivering radio frequency energy to tighten and rejuvenate the skin.

​

What to Expect During Radio Frequency Micro-needling Sessions

During a radio frequency micro-needling session, a specialised device will be used to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. At the same time, radio frequency energy is delivered deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Patients may experience a mild prickling sensation during the procedure, but discomfort is minimal.

​

Benefits of Radio Frequency Micro-needling

• Improved skin texture and tone

• Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles

• Tightening of loose or sagging skin

• Minimisation of pores and acne scars

• Stimulated collagen production for long-term skin rejuvenation

 

Indications for Radio Frequency Micro-needling

Radio Frequency Micro-needling is recommended for individuals who:

• Desire overall skin rejuvenation

• Wish to address fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin

• Seek to minimise the appearance of acne scars or enlarged pores

• Want to achieve firmer, more youthful-looking skin without surgery

 

Contraindications for Radio Frequency Micro-needling

While radio frequency micro-needling is generally safe for most individuals, there are certain contraindications, including:

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding

• Active skin infections or lesions

• History of keloid scarring

• Use of blood-thinning medications

• Severe acne or eczema flare-ups

 

Possible Side Effects

Most patients experience minimal side effects following radio frequency micro-needling, such as temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort. These effects typically subside within a few days, and patients can resume their regular activities immediately after treatment.
