RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency Microneedling for Skin Tightening, Acne Scars & Rejuvenation
RF Microneedling, also known as Radiofrequency Microneedling, is an aesthetic treatment that combines microneedling with controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep within the skin. Unlike traditional microneedling, RF Microneedling delivers thermal energy directly into the dermis, enhancing skin tightening, improving acne scars, refining pores, and restoring overall skin quality, with minimal downtime.
At our clinic, we offer a curated range of RF Microneedling systems, including Morpheus8, as well as other RF microneedling technologies tailored to different skin concerns and treatment goals.
How RF Microneedling Works
RF Microneedling uses micro-fine insulated microneedles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. Once the needles reach depths, radiofrequency energy is released, generating heat within the dermal layers.
This process:
Triggers collagen remodelling
Stimulates elastin production
Tightens skin from within
Improves skin texture and tone
Promotes long-term skin regeneration
The result is firm, smooth, and resilient skin over time.
Types of RF Microneedling Treatments We Offer
Different RF Microneedling technologies are designed to target specific skin concerns, depths, and tissue responses. During consultation, we will recommend the appropriate approach based on your skin condition and goals.
Structural RF Microneedling (e.g. Morpheus8)
This form of RF Microneedling delivers energy deeper into the skin and subdermal layers, making it ideal for:
Skin laxity
Facial contouring
Jowls and jawline definition
Acne scars with volume loss
Early signs of ageing
Double chin reduction
It is often chosen when lifting and firming are key objectives.
RF Microneedling for Skin Quality & Pigmentation
This category of RF Microneedling focuses on controlled, superficial-to-mid dermal energy delivery, suitable for:
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin texture
Melasma and pigmentation-prone skin
Redness and inflammatory skin conditions
Skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime
It is especially suitable for Asian skin types and patients requiring a gentler and targeted approach.
What Can RF Microneedling Treat?
RF Microneedling is a versatile treatment suitable for various concerns, including:
Acne scars (boxcar, rolling scars)
Enlarged pores
Fine lines and wrinkles
Skin laxity and sagging
Uneven skin texture
Dull or ageing skin
Stretch marks
Mild pigmentation issues
It can be performed on the face, neck, under-eye area, and selected body areas, depending on the technology used.
Results & Recovery
Some patients notice early skin tightening and glow within weeks, while collagen regeneration continues over 2–3 months.
For optimal results:
A series of 3–4 sessions is typically recommended
Treatments are spaced 4–6 weeks apart
Maintenance treatments may be advised depending on the skin condition
