- What is Radiofrequency Microneedling?
It is a procedure which involves penetration of non insulated tiny microneedles into the different layers of skin to deliver high radiofrequency energy into the targeted part of the skin. This results in improvement of production of elastin and collagen fibres within the skin, making skin firmer and healthier.
- How does Radiofrequency Microneedling work?
The RF microneedles are driven directly into the skin at a certain depth(1-3 mm), and radiofrequency energy is then released inside of the skin. This gives a more uniformed deep tissue warming that will then stimulate the collagen and elastic fibres which in turn promote growth of healthier new collagen and elastic fibers. This tissue remodeling will result in smooth, firm, tighter skin and also improves the scars, stretch marks and open pores.

As micro pulses of energy are delivered into the skin, most patients will experience a warm feeling and an immediate tightening of the skin surface.
