FRACTIONAL RF NEEDLING

Fractional RF needling

Fractional Radiofrequency Needling represents the latest advancement in treatments, surpassing CO2 Fractional lasers and traditional Micro needling. This method administers precise radiofrequency (RF) energy to target deep-seated acne scars, stretch mark and sun-damaged collagen within the skin, while preserving the integrity of its upper layers.

RF stands for radiofrequency, which is a type of energy. Microneedling involves using tiny needles to create small punctures in your skin’s surface.

During Fractional RF Needling, these tiny needles also deliver radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of your skin. This energy helps stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are proteins that make your skin firm and elastic. As a result, Fractional RF Needling can help reduce wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, stretch marks and improve overall skin texture.

The combination of microneedling with fractional radiofrequency energy makes the treatment more effective in rejuvenating the skin compared to traditional microneedling alone. It’s a popular choice for people looking to improve the appearance of their skin without undergoing invasive surgery.

Wondering if Fractional RF Needling is right for you!

RF needling

Fractional RF Skin Resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that helps improve the appearance of your skin. It combines two techniques: Microneedling and Fractional Radiofrequency (RF) waves.

Microneedling involves using tiny needles to create small punctures in the skin. These punctures stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, leading to collagen production and skin rejuvenation.

If the procedure also uses radiofrequency waves, it’s called radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. During Fractional RF microneedling, the needles not only create channels in the skin but also release radiofrequency energy into these channels. This additional energy causes controlled thermal damage, which further boosts collagen production and skin tightening. 

In simple terms, RF skin resurfacing helps to improve your skin by stimulating its natural repair mechanisms with tiny needles and adding radiofrequency energy to enhance the effects. This can result in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin over time. 

Insulated vs. Non-Insulated Microneedles – What is the difference? 

Non-insulated microneedles distribute radiofrequency energy across their entire surface, heating both the upper and lower layers of the skin simultaneously. On the other hand, insulated microneedles feature insulation around them, enabling heat emission solely from the tip, thus heating only the lower layers of the skin.

Benefits of Fractional RF Skin Resurfacing Treatment

RF needling

Fractional RF needling offers several benefits for skin rejuvenation and improvement. It is a non-invasive or minimally invasive treatment option that can help improve skin quality, reduce signs of aging, and enhance overall skin appearance with relatively few temporary side effects.

  • Improved Skin Texture: Fractional RF needling stimulates collagen production, which helps to improve skin texture, making it smoother and more even.
  • Reduced Wrinkles and Fine Lines: By promoting collagen synthesis, fractional RF needling can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in a more youthful appearance. 
  • Tightening of the Skin: The heat generated by the radiofrequency energy helps to tighten loose skin, leading to a firmer and more toned complexion. 
  • Treatment of Scars: Fractional RF needling can be effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and other types of scars by promoting collagen remodelling and skin regeneration.
  • Minimal Downtime: Compared to more invasive procedures, fractional RF needling typically requires minimal downtime, allowing individuals to resume their daily activities relatively quickly. 
  • Safe for Various Skin Types: Fractional RF needling is generally safe for different skin types and tones, as it does not rely on pigment absorption for its effectiveness. 
  • Versatility: Fractional RF needling can be used on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, and hands, making it a versatile option for addressing multiple skin concerns.

Pre-Treatment Tips

RF needling
  • Avoid Actives: Discontinue use of topical acids (e.g., glycolic, alpha, or beta hydroxy acids), retinol, Retin-A, or similar products for at least 4 days before treatment.
  • Avoid tanning beds and prolonged sun exposure for at least 4 days before treatment.
  • Medical Clearance: If you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking medications, inform your healthcare provider during the consultation. Your provider may recommend obtaining medical.
  • Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Minimize alcohol consumption and avoid smoking in the days leading up to your treatment. Alcohol and smoking can impair healing and increase the risk of complications. Avoid alcohol for 48 hours before your treatment and caffeine on the day of your treatment.
  • Avoid Blood Thinners: If you are taking medications or supplements that thin the blood, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or certain herbal supplements, consult with your healthcare provider about whether you should temporarily discontinue them before the procedure. Blood thinners can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding during RF skin resurfacing.

Procedures of Fractional RF Skin Resurfacing

RF needling
  • Consultation: The process begins with a consultation with a qualified dermatologist or aesthetician. During this consultation, your skin concerns and treatment goals will be discussed, and the suitability of fractional RF needling for your skin type and condition will be assessed.
  • Preparation: Before the procedure, your skin will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream (Optional) may be applied to minimize any discomfort during the treatment.
  • Treatment Setting: You will be positioned comfortably, and the treatment area will be marked to ensure precision during the procedure.
  • Fractional RF Needling: A handheld device equipped with fine needles and RF energy delivery capability will be used for the treatment. The device is gently passed over the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries and delivering radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers of the skin.
  • Adjustment of Settings: The depth of needle penetration and the intensity of radiofrequency energy may be adjusted based on the specific needs of your skin and the area being treated.
  • Treatment Duration: The duration of the procedure depends on the size of the treatment area and the extent of the concerns being addressed. Typically, a session lasts between 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, a soothing cream or serum may be applied to the treated area to help calm the skin and promote healing. The therapist will provide specific instructions on post-treatment care, including skincare products to use and activities to avoid.
  • Recovery: Some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort may occur immediately after the procedure, but these side effects usually subside within a few days. Most individuals can resume their normal activities within a day or two following the treatment.
  • Follow-Up Sessions: Depending on your skincare goals and the condition of your skin, multiple treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart may be recommended to achieve optimal results.

Post Treatment Care Tips

RF needling
  • Keep the treated area clean and dry for the first 24 hours.
  • Apply a gentle moisturizer or soothing cream as recommended by your provider.
  • Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and wear sunscreen with high SPF.
  • Avoid hot showers, saunas, and swimming pools for at least 48 hours.
  • Do not pick at or scratch the treated area to prevent infection and scarring.
  • Follow any specific instructions provided by your therapist for optimal healing and results.
  • Makeup can be worn the day after treatment.
  • If redness worsens or itching occurs within the first few hours after treatment, use cold compresses or take an antihistamine tablet to alleviate discomfort.
  • Stick to using only the recommended products until the skin colour returns to normal.

Optimizing the Results

LED Light Therapy: LED light therapy can help reduce inflammation, promote collagen synthesis, and accelerate the healing process after RF needling. Incorporating LED light therapy sessions following RF needling can optimize results and minimize downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

The procedure involves creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin with fine needles while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy. This stimulates collagen production and skin rejuvenation.

Fractional RF skin resurfacing can improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, stretchmarks, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, and skin laxity.

Topical numbing cream is typically applied if needed to the skin before the procedure to minimize discomfort. While some patients may experience mild discomfort, it is generally well-tolerated.

RF Microneedling and traditional needling differ primarily in the technology used and the depth of treatment. RF Microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy delivery. The needles create micro-injuries in the skin while simultaneously emitting RF energy, stimulating collagen production and skin tightening more effectively.

Traditional needling involves using fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, promoting collagen synthesis and skin rejuvenation. However, it does not incorporate the additional benefit of RF energy. RF Microneedling typically offers more significant results in terms of skin tightening and overall rejuvenation compared to traditional needling alone.

The number of treatments needed varies depending on the individual's skin concerns and desired results. Typically, a series of 3-4 treatments spaced several weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.

There may be mild redness, swelling, and sensitivity immediately following the procedure, but these side effects usually subside within a few days. Most patients can resume normal activities shortly after treatment.

Results are typically gradual and may become noticeable within a few weeks to months as collagen production increases and the skin rejuvenates.

Side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and minor discomfort. Serious complications are rare but may include infection, scarring, or changes in skin pigmentation.

Fractional RF skin resurfacing is suitable for individuals looking to improve the appearance of aging skin, acne scars, stretchmarks or other skin imperfections. A consultation with our qualified skincare professional can determine if you are a suitable candidate.

Results vary from person to person, but with proper skincare and maintenance, the benefits of fractional RF skin resurfacing can last for several months to years. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain results over time.
