What Is Radiofrequency Needling?
Radiofrequency needling is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine needles and radiofrequency energy to stimulate the skin’s natural healing processes. The combination of microneedling and radiofrequency penetrates deep into the skin, boosting collagen production and promoting cellular regeneration.
This treatment is ideal for improving skin texture, reducing wrinkles, tightening sagging skin, and minimising acne scars or stretch marks.

FAQ
What is Radio Frequency Needling?
Radio Frequency (RF) Needling is an advanced skin treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. It stimulates collagen and elastin production to tighten skin, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin texture and tone.
How does radio frequency needling work?
The treatment uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process. Simultaneously, radiofrequency energy is delivered deep into the skin, enhancing collagen production and tissue tightening.
What skin concerns can radio frequency needling treat?
RF needling is effective for a variety of concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin laxity
- Uneven skin texture
- Acne scars and other scarring
- Stretch marks
- Enlarged pores
- Hyperpigmentation
Is radio frequency needling painful?
Most clients find RF needling tolerable, as a topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimise discomfort. You may feel slight warmth or a prickling sensation during the procedure.
Is there any downtime after radio frequency needling?
RF needling involves minimal downtime. Some clients may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity for 1-3 days post-treatment, but these effects subside quickly, allowing you to return to normal activities.
