RF needling (Radiofrequency needling), also known as RF microneedling, is a cosmetic treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and promote collagen production.
How It Works:
1.Microneedling: Tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate the body’s natural healing process and collagen production.
2.Radiofrequency Energy: While the needles penetrate the skin, RF energy is delivered into the deeper layers of the skin (dermis). The heat from the RF energy tightens the skin and boosts collagen and elastin production.
3.Healing and Rejuvenation: The combination of micro-injuries and heat stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, improving skin tone, texture, and firmness over time.

What to Expect:
• Procedure: Takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the area treated.
•Pain: A numbing cream is usually applied to minimize discomfort.
•Downtime: Mild redness and swelling for 24–72 hours; some people may experience slight flaking or dryness.
•Results: Visible improvements typically appear after 2–4 weeks, with continued improvements over 3–6 months as collagen production increases.
•Number of Sessions: Most people need 3–6 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results.
