Fractional RF/ Microneedling RF is Radiofrequency microneedling is a cosmetic procedure. It uses tiny needles and radiofrequency waves to rejuvenate facial skin. The treatment is a form of controlled skin injury. The damage stimulates the growth of healthy new skin, which can benefit common skin issues like acne scars, wrinkles and many more

Microneedling uses a fine needle to create microwounds, or channels, in the skin. This triggers the production of capillaries, elastin, and collagen.

If the procedure also uses radiofrequency waves, it's called radiofrequency(RF) microneedling. The needle releases radiofrequency into the channels, causing additional controlled thermal damage. This enhances the effects of standard microneedling.

This heat metabolises unhealthy cells and fibres, in turn causing stimulation to produce healthy new cells. The result is added structure, reduced pore size, reduced acne scarring, and overall skin rejuvenation.

The skin that grows back is thicker and smoother. This will give much better results as there are two type of treatment in one. This can target the following conditions.

• Skin Resurfacing
• Acne scar
• Scars from injury or surgery
• Fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks
• Large Pores
• Skin Rejuvenation
• Skin Tightening, loose sagging skin
• Non-Surgical Lifting
• Cellulite
• Hyperhydrosis

Does Fractional RF treatment hurt?

Pain tolerance varies from person to person. By using prescription strength, a topical anaesthetic (numbing cream) can help your discomfort.

Is there a downtime?

Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild to moderate redness, flaking, and slight swelling. These side effects are completely normal and usually subside within 3-5 days with the correct aftercare. To reduce downtime, we recommend LED Light Therapy. This will help reduce inflammation and assist with wound healing.

How long the Fractional RF treatment take?

The treatment can take 30 - 45 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Possible side effects include:

• dryness
• redness
• scaling
• itching
• swelling and bruising
• mild acne flare-up
