What is radiofrequency microneedling?
Radiofrequency microneedling is a cutting-edge aesthetic treatment that merges the advantages of microneedling with the rejuvenating power of radiofrequency energy. This minimally invasive procedure uses several fine needles to effectively and safely create precise micro-injuries in the skin, followed by the application of radiofrequency energy. This powerful combination stimulates collagen and elastin production, promoting skin tightening, reducing crepiness and improving overall skin tone and texture.
How does radiofrequency microneedling work?
Radiofrequency microneedling is an advanced and transformative treatment that combines the power of precision technology with your body's own healing abilities. Using a specialised device with ultra-fine needles, this procedure gently penetrates the skin's surface to create micro-injuries. These controlled injuries activate your body’s natural healing response, significantly boosting collagen and elastin production. The result? A noticeably firmer, smoother, and more radiant complexion as your skin rejuvenates from within.
As the microneedles enter the skins surface the device delivers radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin. The heat generated by the radiofrequency causes existing collagen fibres to contract, resulting in an immediate tightening effect. Additionally, this process stimulates the formation of new collagen and elastin as the skin heals. With increased levels of these essential proteins, the skin becomes firmer, plumper, and more elastic, leading to a noticeable reduction in sagging and wrinkles.
Radiofrequency microneedling can be used on their own or in conjunction with other aesthetic treatments. It is suitable for both men and women. For a real duo treatment of skin improvement, combine with pHformula skin resurfacing treatments.

FAQs
-
Before your treatment, a numbing cream is used to ensure you’ll only experience minimal to zero discomfort throughout your treatment.
-
A course of three sessions is advised for optimal results, spaced four weeks apart. After this to maintain the effects a single session is recommended at 6 months.
-
You will notice immediate as well as longer term improvements in your skin. Optimal results will take around 3 months to appear as your skin continues to improve. Results may last about a year, so annual follow-up sessions may be required in order to maintain the results.
-
Downtime is minimal. You may notice some mild redness immediately after the procedure. The following day you may feel tiny scabs on the areas where the microneedles were used. While these scabs are usually not visible to the naked eye, they can be detected by touch. To assist with the natural shedding process apply a moisturiser twice daily.
-
Limit excessive or unprotected sun exposure. Avoid using active skincare products five days prior, including exfoliants, retinoids, vitamin C, glycolic acid, retinol, tretinoin, and benzoyl peroxide. Remove makeup prior to your appointment. Please arrive to your appointment with clean skin, no skincare products and no makeup.
-
You can apply light makeup 24 hours after your treatment. It is best to wait until all scabs have fallen off until applying any heavy cosmetics. A gentle cleanser and moisturiser should be used to help and improve any dry and tight skin. The skin will be photosensitive and will therefore require sun exposure and sunbeds to be avoided for at least 10-28 day. Protect your skin daily with broad spectrum SPF (at least 30 or above).
