Wrinkles are a part of the natural ageing process. Once you turn 30, you will see creases, ridges or folds appearing on your face and neck. Sometimes wrinkles may also show up due to dehydration or sun damage. However, the bottom line is – they sure make us look aged and unappealing to others.

Another major concern for many others is acne scars. Acne breakouts are frustrating in itself but what’s more disturbing are the scars they leave behind. Sometimes, these scars last several months or even years! Not only do they appear unsightly, but also lower your confidence and self-esteem over time.

Thanks to modern technology and advanced techniques, treating wrinkles and scars are possible these days. One such innovative technique for skin rejuvenation is Microneedling Radiofrequency.

What is Microneedling Radiofrequency? 

Microneedling Radiofrequency is a minimally invasive procedure that effectively combines traditional micro-needling technique with the element of radiofrequency energy to regenerate skin appearance by improving texture, and reducing wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, open pores, and sagging.

How does it work?

The radiofrequency pulse is carried through fractional technique deep into the skin to boost skin tightening. This further helps reduce scars by stimulation of both elastin and through collagen synthesis.

What are the steps of the procedure?

Microneedling Radiofrequency is performed at a clinic under the supervision of an experienced professional:

  • An hour before the procedure, your dermatologist will first apply an ointment or cream to numb the targeted area to minimize discomfort or pain

  • He/she will then pressing the equipment gently on the skin. This enables the needles at the tip to direct radiofrequency energy at the desired depth

  • The dermatologist precisely controls the depth of penetration of the microneedles and continues treatment until the desired result is achieved

The procedure takes about an hour, after which the patient is free to walk home.
