The device handpiece uses fractionated radiofrequency to deliver energy to the subdermal tissues. We apply adjustable penetration depths and energy for the treatment of skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles, scars and skin tone. The energy is delivered through bipolar arrays of 24 coated needles which penetrate into the subdermal tissue, this results in localised heating, contraction and coagulation of the fat and connective tissue to tighten and rejuvenate the treated area.

The advanced technology and unique properties of the device allows all skin types to be treated. Even sensitive and acne prone skin types can benefit from having the treatment.

The duration of treatment varies as it depends on the area treated. Typically, a treatment on the face will take approximately 20 minutes and up to one hour on body areas.

Patients typically experience a mild heat sensation on the surface of the skin and a ‘pin prick’ sensation.

The number of sessions required varies dependent upon the device used, we generally recommend 6 sessions, 1 month apart with a top up session every 6 months. Treatment intervals and duration will be specifically tailored to the individual and the area treated in order to obtain best results.

Prior to treatment, patients are advised to avoid excessive sun exposure at least 4 weeks prior to treatment. Patients are advised to avoid deep depth chemical peels and laser resurfacing 4-6 weeks prior to treatment. Superficial/medium depth peels should be completed 2 weeks prior to Radio Frequency Microneedling.

Radio Frequency Microneedling is a very safe and effective treatment. It is safe to treat on all skin types including sensitive skin.

Minimal downtime is present after the treatment. You will experience a sunburn type redness and mild swelling in the days following treatment. Dry skin and flaking may be noticed which may also be followed by tiny scabs in the areas treated, but this will subside.

Visible results can be seen as soon as 2 weeks after your first treatment, but typically mid way through the course the noticeable results will begin to appear but the full results of your Radio Frequency Microneedling treatment will not be seen before six months.

Patients are advised to keep their skin free of makeup for at least 24hrs. The skin should be cleansed using a gentle cleanser and regularly moisturised as skin may feel dry and tight for the first few days post treatment. Additionally patients should avoid sun exposure and use a broad spectrum sunscreen every day.
