Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling Treatment

Smooth fine lines, wrinkles, improve skin texture and reduce pore size with a Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling Treatment

As we inevitably age, the quality of our skin diminishes. Our skin’s exposure to the sun, UV damage, discoloration, wrinkling and more becomes apparent. In particular, the reduced levels of collagen naturally present in our body diminish, and this causes our skin to appear sallow, sagging and skin laxity on our faces, necks, and bodies.

Technology can now help us all improve the quality of our skin and enhance collagen production. In 2021, the award winning Lynton Lasers launched the Focus Dual. A pioneer within the advanced anti-ageing treatments, the Focus Dual’s Radiofrequency Microneedling (RF) treatments can also be used to improve the appearance of scars. 

In particular, RF treatments can lift skin on your face or body to make it appear firmer and tighter. Whether you’re looking for a nonsurgical, minimal pain, and affordable alternative to a facelift or just the option to lift any area of your body – RF microneedling is for you! 

Even better, RF microneedling is a ‘dual’ treatment, meaning that you get the benefit of microneedling and the thermal benefit of radiofrequency. By opting for RF treatments, you’re giving yourself the best skin ever. 

We’ve set out answers to FAQs on Radiofrequency Microneedling (RFM) below, so if you’re not committed to your best skin ever just yet, you will be by the end of this page! 

What is Radiofrequency Microneedling (RFM)? 

RFM, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is the use of multiple, fine, and sterile needles which are used to create controlled trauma in the skin. This controlled and safe trauma stimulates collagen by coagulating the blood and creating haemostasis, making skin appear firmer and tighter. It also helps reduce the appearance of scars and wrinkles by kickstarting your body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen, and resulting in much more youthful, radiant skin that is both firmer and tighter.

How does Radiofrequency Microneedling (RFM) work?

RF treatment uses radio frequencies and micro-needles to coagulate the blood and create haemostasis. In other words, the blood becomes a little thicker and replicates the same action as collagen within the body. When the coagulated blood remains in the treated area, you’ll find that fine lines and wrinkles become less apparent, while scars are much less noticeable.

This is done by the ultrafine needles being inserted into the skin and penetrating it at different depths. This is one of the things that makes RF therapy unique, as it can create a range of different frequencies to better suit the area of treatment as well as the skin type of the individual receiving the session. This enables a much more effective response, even within challenging skin. 

 This releases a radiofrequency energy which heats the skin in a controlled manner. This stimulates a wound healing response which leads to the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are needed for skin to be lifted, firmer, and tighter, making this an ideal treatment for anyone looking for incredible results without the need for surgery or injectables. 

Who is eligible for Radiofrequency Microneedling (RFM)? 

Clients of any age can benefit from the incredible Radiofrequency Microneedling treatment. Clients concerned with laxity of their skin can benefit from the dual effect of the RFM. 

Those with younger skins who are yet to require lifting and tightening can benefit from microneedling without radiofrequency in order to focus on refining pores, evening skin texture, and improving the overall appearance of their skin. 

As the Focus Dual® offers a variety of needle depths and radiofrequency intensity settings, treatments can be customised to every skin type. 

What are the benefits of combining Radiofrequency with Microneedling? 

One of the reasons the Focus Dual® offers unrivalled results for clients is the innovative combination of Radiofrequency and Microneedling. Aesthetics practitioners have observed the enhanced speed of results when combining radiofrequency with microneedling for clients. As an example, clients with severe acne have seen results in half the time in comparison to standalone technologies (Lynton, 2021). 

Is Radiofrequency with Microneedling (RFM) safe? 

RFM is a popular procedure that can safely address a number of skin types and concerns. The system of delivering RF energy is precisely controlled so there’s no risk of burning the tissue. The energy penetrates the mid-level dermis where our collagen is situated. As a result, any skin that is damaged by the ageing process, including stretch marks, as well as acne scarring, is restored and remodelled. 

The technology, which is the gold-standard, is operated at Figura Skin Clinic by highly trained aesthetics professionals. The treatment itself has virtually no downtime, and enables clients to boost their skin quality at every layer.

Similarly, due to the varying response of the individual, the down-time, recovery and the longer term results achieved following the treatment will differ from person to person. The information we provide you with is based on the extensive experience we have gained from treating a wide range of clients of differing age and gender.
