Radio Frequency Microneedling

Minimally invasive skin and tissue remodelling

What is Radio Frequency Microneedling?

Radiofrequency Frequency Microneedling is a treatment which stimulates collagen in the underlying layers of the skin.

Tissue of the face and body can be remodelled to create a more radiant, tighter and youthful appearance by targeting the deeper layers of the skin (dermis).

Radiofrequency Frequency Microneedling uses tiny needles and radiofrequency waves to rejuvenate skin cells.

The treatment is a form of controlled skin injury. The damage stimulates the growth of healthy new skin.

The RF energy heats the underlying layers of skin, causing constriction and tightening of the skin, as well as the stimulation of collagen and elastin production.
