What is RF Microneedling Treatment?

RF microneedling is a treatment combining radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to address various conditions such as Melasma, Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH), redness, and vascular lesions.

With Sylfirm X, pulsed type RF reacts to abnormal blood vessels and basement membranes to improve skin texture and tone. Developed in collaboration with technical expertise in Silicon Valley, U.S.A, it is clinically tested by a professional medical team in Canada for one year.

During a session, the practitioner moves the device over the target area, allowing the microneedles to create uniform micro-injuries while the RF energy is transmitted. By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, RF microneedling triggers the body’s natural healing response to strengthen the skin. Concurrently, the device emits RF energy through the needles, delivering heat into the dermis to improve the appearance of the skin.

Who is This Treatment For?

RF microneedling treatment can be suitable for individuals in with skin concerns such as:

• Melasma
• Redness
• Vascular lesions
• PIH
• Hot flushes
• Freckles
• Fine wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Active inflammatory acne

Benefit of the RF Microneedling Treatment

Merging microneedling with radiofrequency energy, RF microneedling primarily encourages skin rejuvenation, which helps in reducing the appearance of fine lines and improving the overall texture of the skin. The treatment may address Melasma, wrinkles, acne scars, and freckles, as well as refine large pores and improve skin laxity.

The adaptability of RF microneedling makes it suitable for different skin types and is a viable option for individuals with tanned skin. Individuals usually experience minimal downtime, often resuming daily activities shortly after treatment. Mild side effects, such as tingling sensations, are common but tend to be transient. Consistent with any procedure, outcomes can vary, and multiple sessions are often recommended for results.

RF Microneedling Treatment Process

RF microneedling treatment begins with a consultation to assess skin concerns and determine the suitability of the procedure. Once cleared, the actual session starts with the cleansing of the treatment area to ensure a sterile environment.

A topical anaesthetic cream may be applied to minimise discomfort. The RF microneedling device is then adjusted to the appropriate settings based on the patient’s skin type and the area being treated.

During the procedure, the device is moved across the skin, and the needles create tiny punctures while delivering radiofrequency energy into the dermis. After the treatment, a soothing serum or balm may be applied to the skin to aid in healing and reduce inflammation. Individuals are usually advised to avoid direct sunlight and use high-SPF sunscreen as the skin is more susceptible to UV damage post-treatment. Healing is generally swift, with many individuals returning to their normal routine almost immediately, adhering to any specific aftercare instructions provided.

What Results Can I Expect from RF Microneedling?

You may see improvement in your skin after one to five sessions of the RF microneedling treatment, with reduced redness and clearer skin. RF microneedling reacts only to abnormal blood vessels and basement membranes. This enables RF microneedling to address acne scars, Melasma, Redness, Vascular lesions, PIH, etc. On tanned skin, RF microneedling targets the dermis, and minimises thermo-­stimulation on the epidermis.

However, please note that individual results may vary. As such, the number of sessions required for visible results can differ.

Is There Any Downtime After My RF Microneedling Treatment?

There is no downtime for this treatment. RF microneedling takes 10 minutes for treatment, and requires no recovery time. You can continue with your daily life directly right after treatment. It is, however, important to follow post-procedure care instructions to ensure proper healing.
