RF Microneedling

Laxity and deep scars, treated at every layer.

Sterile microneedles deliver controlled radiofrequency in staged passes — from just beneath the surface, down through the dermis, into the fat layer under it. Every level that holds the face up gets treated, not just one of them. The body reads the controlled injury as a signal to rebuild collagen from the inside out, over weeks.

What it treats

Best for skin laxity, acne scars, stretch marks, and textural remodelling.

  • ·Skin laxity — jawline, neck, lower face
  • ·Acne scars, ice-pick scars
  • ·Stretch marks, post-pregnancy skin
  • ·Enlarged pores and uneven texture
  • ·Early jowls, pre-surgical tightening
  • ·Crepey, thinning décolletage
Aftercare

Red then tight, not scabby.

Expect intense redness for 24 hours and a feeling of tightness for 2–3 days. Pinpoint marks or a faint grid can show for a day after deeper passes, but no open wounds and no peeling. This is not an ablative treatment.

Do

  • Use a bland, fragrance-free moisturiser for 3 days.
  • Apply SPF 50+ every morning after day 2.
  • Be patient. The collagen build happens over 8–12 weeks.

Don't

  • Exercise, sauna, or hot shower for 48 hours.
  • Apply make-up for 24 hours.
  • Use retinoids or acids for 7 days.
  • Return for a second session sooner than 4 weeks.
FAQ

Common questions.

How much does it hurt?

Top of the list. Topical anaesthetic helps but doesn't remove the sensation. Needles enter the skin, then RF energy fires at depth: pressure, deep heat, a sting. The treatment itself is short, 10 to 25 minutes. If pain is your hard line, this is the one to skip.

When will I see results?

Four to six weeks before the first visible change. Collagen takes that long to remodel. The full result builds across three months, with the second and third sessions compounding it.

Can I wear make-up after?

Skip it for 24 hours; the channels in the skin are still open. From day 2, mineral make-up without fragrance. Full routines from day 4. No retinoids or acids for 7 days.

Will I bruise?

Sometimes. Under the eyes and along the jawline are the usual spots. Bruises lift in 4 to 7 days. If you have an event in the next two weeks, we delay.

Is it safe on darker skin tones?

Usually, yes. The microneedles bypass the surface and deliver RF energy below the melanin layer where pigment risk lives. Fitzpatrick I to VI, with conservative parameters for higher types.
