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, 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 types of treatment in one. This can target the following conditions.
Does Fractional RF treatment hurt?
Pain tolerance varies person to person. We use prescription strength topical anaesthetic (numbing cream) to help your discomfort
Is there a down time?
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.
How much does it cost?
Please refer to our Fee & Payment policy
Typically, radiofrequency microneedling is well tolerated. But like all cosmetic treatments, it may cause some side effects.
Possible side effects include:
These side effects might last for a few hours or days.
For optimum results, we recommend 6 Fractional RF treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Top tip:
For optimum results, get a Custom Microdermabrasion 1-2 weeks prior to professionally exfoliate the skin. You're then working with better skin quality for your Fractional RF treatment and will see better results.
For the ultimate healthy glow, opt for a LED Light Therapy treatment with your Fractional RF session.
