Microneedling and Radio Frequency (RF) Skin Tightening

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny, sterilized needles to prick the skin.

The treatment uses the body’s natural healing process by generating new collagen and skin tissue to smooth, firm, and tone skin.

Microneedling is used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as acne scarring, surgical scars, burns, enlarged pores, wrinkles, and stretch marks.

The treatment may feel uncomfortable, as it involves tiny needle points puncturing the skin, but we use a topical anaesthetic to numb the area.

Any pain will settle after your treatment and your skin may feel warm and a little tight for a few days after.

During radio frequency (RF) skin tightening, we use an electromagnetic device that generates heat to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin and new skin cells. This firms and lifts sagging skin.

RF microneedling adds the element of radiofrequency energy to the traditional microneedling procedure. In addition to the benefits seen with the micro-injury provided by the microneedles, RF delivers energy deep into the dermis further enhancing skin tightening and scar reduction.

After applying a topical anaesthetic to the skin, a device with fine needles (different size and depths of needles are selected depending on the area/treatment indication) creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin.
