About the procedure
Radiofrequency microneedling combines fine needles with RF energy delivered at a selected depth. It may be considered for some scars, texture changes or laxity; it is different from standard microneedling.
Your consultation
Assessment reviews skin type, anatomy of the area, medical history and previous procedures. The proposed device and settings should be explained, including their suitability for the agreed goal.
What to expect
- Assess the concern and available alternatives.
- Agree the area and discuss depth, energy and risks.
- Perform the procedure and arrange a healing review.
Recovery and follow-up
Redness, swelling, tenderness and small crusts may occur. Recovery varies with the device, area and intensity; the return to activities is discussed for the individual plan.
What to consider
Risks include burns, scarring, pigmentation changes, fat loss and nerve injury. Patient selection and technique are important parts of the decision.
Common questions
Is this simply a salon facial?
No. It combines penetration of the skin with thermal energy and requires appropriate medical assessment and expertise.
Is a higher energy level better?
Not automatically. Settings must reflect the area and anatomy, with a justified balance of potential benefit and risk.
