Radiofrequency Needling
Radiofrequency needling, also known as fractional radiofrequency, stands as a revolutionary minimally invasive procedure that utilises radiofrequency energy to ignite collagen production, ultimately enhancing the skin's appearance. This procedure has garnered significant popularity for its ability to lift and tighten the skin, effectively addressing various skin concerns like fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
Benefits
The benefits of radiofrequency needling are multifaceted:
- Lift and Tighten: It aids in lifting and tightening the skin, rejuvenating its overall appearance.
- Skin Tone and Texture Improvement: Radiofrequency needling effectively improves skin tone and texture, restoring its natural radiance.
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles Reduction: It reduces the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, contributing to a more youthful complexion.
- Acne Scar Fading: This procedure assists in fading acne scars, promoting smoother skin.
- Pore Tightening: It tightens pores, refining the skin's texture and appearance.
- Collagen Production Boost: Radiofrequency needling stimulates collagen production, vital for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.
- Stretch Mark Appearance Improvement: It helps in improving the appearance of stretch marks, fostering smoother skin texture.
Risks
Despite its numerous benefits, radiofrequency needling does entail some risks:
- Redness and Swelling: Temporary redness and swelling may occur post-procedure.
- Bruising: Some patients may experience bruising, although it's typically mild.
- Infection: Although rare, there's a slight risk of infection.
- Scarring: In rare cases, scarring may occur.
Procedure
Radiofrequency needling is a meticulously executed procedure:
- Treatment Duration: A full-face and neck treatment typically lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Preparation: The procedure commences with cleansing the skin and applying numbing cream for a minimum of 30 minutes to ensure comfort.
- Device Utilisation: We utilise the Endymed Intensif, equipped with patented 3DEEP technology and advanced RF microneedle technology.
- Process: The device delivers radiofrequency energy through needles, creating micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production.
- Post-Procedure Care: Following the procedure, Dermalux LED light therapy is administered to soothe the skin. Patients may experience redness and swelling for a few days post-procedure, followed by micro-crusting, which naturally falls off.
- Aftercare: High SPF usage and temporary avoidance of makeup and certain activities are recommended post-procedure.
Results
Visible results are typically noticeable within a few weeks, with continual improvement over time. An initial course of 3 treatments is recommended, followed by maintenance sessions once or twice per year.

Administered via injections at five strategic points on each side of the face, Profhilo® penetrates deep into the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This innovative approach earns Profhilo® its designation as a skinbooster, providing comprehensive rejuvenation with every session.

A skin consultation is a service offered by many medical aesthetic clinics and dermatologists. During a skin consultation, a clinician will take a closer look at both the surface of your skin and underneath the skin layers using a skin analysis device.
