Frequently asked questions
How does RF microneedling differ from standard microneedling?
RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy at precise depths, stimulating deeper collagen remodelling than microneedling alone. It is particularly effective for laxity and more established scarring.
Is it painful?
Topical numbing cream is applied. Most clients find the procedure tolerable; a heat sensation during radiofrequency delivery is normal.
How many sessions are needed?
A course of 2-3 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart is typically recommended.
