RF Microneedling
RF Microneedling combines controlled microneedling with radiofrequency energy to improve acne scars, enlarged-looking pores, fine lines, uneven texture and mild skin laxity. The needles create precise microchannels while delivering heat at selected depths beneath the skin.
This combined mechanical and thermal stimulation initiates collagen and elastin remodelling, creating progressive improvement in skin texture, firmness and overall quality.

A simple checklist so you arrive prepared and recover comfortably. Your clinician will tailor this to you.
Individual results vary.
I did RF micro needling with Nancy and she was amazing! I was quite nervous at the start of the session and Nancy took the time to get me settled and she was incredibly thoughtful and diligent throughout the session and checking that I was ok. I would highly recommend getting micro needling or any other session done with Nancy.
Approximately 120 minutes
Approximately 3–5 days
Develop progressively over several months
Commonly 3–6 sessions
Pressure, warmth and prickling
RF microneedling uses insulated or non-insulated needles, depending on the device and treatment protocol, to enter the skin at controlled depths. Radiofrequency energy is then delivered through the needles to create selected areas of heat within the tissue.
This allows the provider to customize both the mechanical needle depth and thermal energy according to the concern and treatment area.
The microchannels initiate a wound-healing response, while radiofrequency heat creates an additional stimulus for collagen contraction and remodelling.
Over the following weeks and months, fibroblast activity supports the formation and reorganization of collagen and elastin. This may improve depressed scars, uneven texture, fine lines and mild skin laxity.
Your appointment begins with photography, cleansing and skin preparation. Topical anesthetic is normally applied for approximately 45–60 minutes before treatment.
Once the skin is numb, the device is placed systematically across the selected areas. Clients may experience pressure, warmth, vibration, prickling or brief sharper sensations around bony and sensitive areas. A complete appointment takes approximately 120 minutes, including numbing and aftercare.
Redness, warmth and swelling are expected immediately afterward. Pinpoint bleeding or tiny crusts may also occur. During healing, the skin may feel dry, rough, tight or sensitive.
Most visible effects improve within approximately three to five days, although sensitivity may continue longer. Initial results may appear within several weeks, while collagen remodelling continues over approximately three to six months.
