The difference between traditional Micro Needling and Radio Frequency Micro Needling

 

Radio frequency micro needling is the same treatment as traditional micro needling / skin needling, with the added benefit of radio frequency being distributed deep into the skin layers.

​

It is one of the latest innovative treatments, for the ultimate "non-surgical facelift". Micro needling on its own entails pricking the skin with tiny sterilised needles. These small wounds cause the body to produce more collagen and elastin, which heals the skin and helps it look younger.

​

Radio frequency micro needling (RFM) merges both technologies for maximum collagen-producing power. Micro needling encourages collagen production superficially by creating controlled trauma, while RF goes much deeper to boost this production, creating faster and more dramatic results that improve over time.

​

The combination of these 2 technologies helps to lift, firm and tighten the skin, reduce wrinkles, shrink pores and even minimise acne scars and other blemishes.

​

RFM can offer comparable results to ablative laser procedures but with significantly less discomfort and downtime. It can also be used as a preventative and to avoid even more invasive procedures such as surgery when laxity is not severe as well as to improve skin texture, colour and tone, something surgery could never achieve.

​

2-4 treatments are recommended 4 - 6 weeks apart.

​

Visible results can be seen within a few days of the treatment, which will continue to improve - typically after 3 weeks is when you will see the most noticeable results. Improvements continue up to 3 months after the treatment and can last up to 18 months.
