Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation treatment that creates micro-injuries in the skin, releasing growth factors like PGF, TGF-α, TGF-β, CTAP, CTGF, and FGF. These boost collagen production and improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and give a youthful look. It also enhances the absorption of skincare products.
However, plain microneedling has limitations—penetration depth depends on needle size and pressure applied, making results variable.
Microneedling with Radiofrequency combines microneedling with RF energy. This helps in better collagen remodelling, skin tightening, and longer-lasting results with more precision.
Benefits of Microneedling with Radiofrequency
Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF), especially bipolar fractional RF, offers significant benefits in treating various skin concerns. It helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin texture and tone, diminishes acne scars and other types of scarring, minimizes large pores, treats stretch marks, and provides a lifting and firming effect to the skin. This treatment works by delivering energy deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen production and dermal remodelling. A noticeable improvement of 25% to 75% can be expected after 4 to 6 sessions, with results becoming more evident around 3 months post-treatment as fibroblasts activate and new collagen forms. Mild redness, swelling, or small red dots may occur after the procedure but usually settle within 1 to 2 days.
Ideal Candidates for RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a versatile treatment suitable for individuals aiming to enhance their skin’s appearance without resorting to invasive procedures. It effectively addresses various skin concerns by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin rejuvenation.
1. Individuals with Fine Lines and Wrinkles
RF microneedling is beneficial for those noticing early signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother and firmer skin. It’s particularly effective for mild to moderate skin ageing concerns.
2. People with Acne Scars or Other Scarring
Those with acne scars, surgical scars, or trauma-induced scars can benefit from RF microneedling. The procedure helps break down old scar tissue and encourages the regeneration of healthy skin, improving overall skin texture.
3. Individuals Experiencing Skin Laxity
RF microneedling effectively addresses mild to moderate skin laxity by delivering energy to the deeper layers of the skin, resulting in tighter and more toned skin.
4. Those with Uneven Skin Texture or Enlarged Pores
The treatment can smooth out rough patches and refine the skin’s surface, leading to a more even texture. Additionally, it helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, contributing to a smoother complexion.
5. Patients with trauma scars
RF microneedling promotes cell turnover and collagen at great extent. Trauma scars are usually tough and have long history, combining rf microneedling with other modalities can enhance results further.

Radiofrequency Microneedling Aftercare and Recovery
Immediately After the Procedure
Following your RF microneedling session, it is normal to experience mild redness, swelling, and sensitivity, similar to a light sunburn. These side effects are temporary and usually resolve within 24 to 48 hours. Your practitioner will typically apply a soothing serum immediately after the treatment to reduce discomfort and support healing.
Do Not Touch or Pick the Treated Area
It is crucial to avoid touching or picking at the treated skin. This helps minimise the risk of infection and supports optimal healing. Allow the skin to recover naturally.
Gentle Cleansing Is Key
Start cleansing the area gently after treatment. Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser—avoid any products that contain alcohol, acids, or exfoliating agents. Wash the area 3 to 4 times daily using your fingertips (not a washcloth) and pat dry with a clean towel. This should be continued for the first week post-treatment.
Moisturize Regularly
Keeping the skin hydrated is essential. Apply a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free moisturiser twice daily to soothe the skin and prevent dryness. Make sure the treated area stays moist at all times during the first 7 days to prevent scab formation.
Sun Protection Is Critical
Avoid direct sun exposure for at least one week after your session. If you must be outdoors, wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 40 or higher and protective clothing like a wide-brimmed hat. Prolonged sun exposure during recovery can delay healing and cause pigmentation.
Avoid Heat and Sweating for 48 Hours
Stay away from saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, and very hot showers for at least 48 hours after treatment. Likewise, avoid strenuous exercise or anything that causes excessive sweating, as this can increase irritation and extend recovery time.
