Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a treatment that combines insulated microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve acne scars, skin texture, enlarged pores and mild skin laxity.

Traditional microneedling relies mainly on mechanical injury to stimulate collagen. Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling adds controlled radiofrequency energy into the dermis, allowing deeper thermal stimulation and more intensive collagen remodelling.

By delivering radiofrequency energy directly into the dermis through insulated needles, radiofrequency (RF) microneedling can stimulate deeper collagen structures while reducing unnecessary surface heating. This may improve treatment efficiency and comfort.

Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment. Most patients describe radiofrequency (RF) microneedling as tolerable with sensations of pressure, warmth or mild prickling.

Most patients benefit from 3 – 5 radiofrequency (RF) microneedling sessions performed every 4 – 6 weeks, depending on the severity of scarring, laxity and treatment goals.

Mild redness and swelling are common for 1 – 3 days after radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment. Some patients may also experience temporary dryness or rough texture during recovery.

Yes. Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is commonly used for acne scars because it stimulates collagen remodelling within deeper scar tissue while minimising excessive surface injury.

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is commonly used on the face, jawline, neck and delicate areas such as the lower eyelids depending on treatment suitability.

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling may be suitable for patients with acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, skin laxity or uneven texture who are seeking collagen stimulation with relatively limited downtime.
