RF microneedling
Radiofrequency microneedling uses fine needles to deliver heat into the skin, stimulating collagen to improve texture, scarring and firmness.
How RF microneedling works
RF microneedling adds controlled heat to the micro-injury of microneedling. This can produce more remodelling than microneedling alone.
It is often suited to people who want improvement in texture and firmness with less downtime than ablative lasers.
