Frequently asked questions
How does this treatment work?
Healthy skin depends on much more than the surface.
As we age, the skin gradually produces less collagen and elastin, which can contribute to fine lines, enlarged pores, acne scarring and reduced firmness.
Radiofrequency microneedling creates tiny controlled treatment points within the skin while delivering gentle radiofrequency energy beneath the surface. This encourages your skin's natural repair processes and supports collagen remodelling over time.
Depending on your skin concerns, your doctor may also recommend combining treatment with regenerative therapies, medical skin hydration or prescription treatments where clinically appropriate. Your treatment plan is always tailored to your skin rather than following a standard protocol.
What concerns can it improve?
Signature RF Microneedling may be suitable for concerns such as fine lines, enlarged pores, acne scarring, mild skin laxity, uneven skin texture, early signs of skin ageing and overall skin quality.
During your consultation, your doctor will determine whether RF microneedling is the most appropriate treatment or whether another approach would better achieve your goals.
What happens during my appointment?
Your appointment begins with a comprehensive consultation and skin assessment. We will discuss your concerns, examine your skin and develop an individualised treatment plan.
Before treatment, a topical anaesthetic is usually applied to improve comfort.
The RF microneedling device is then passed across the treatment area using carefully selected settings based on your skin type and concerns.
Where clinically appropriate, your treatment plan may also include regenerative therapies, medical skin hydration or prescription treatments to support your overall outcome.
Will I need more than one treatment?
Usually.
Skin remodelling is a gradual process, and most patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart.
The exact number depends on your skin concerns, treatment goals and how your skin responds over time. Your doctor will recommend a personalised treatment plan during your consultation.
When will I see results?
Some patients notice an improvement in skin texture and radiance within the first few weeks.
Collagen remodelling takes time, so improvements in firmness, texture and skin quality usually continue to develop over several months following treatment.
How long do results last?
Results vary between individuals and depend on your skin, age and ongoing skincare routine.
Because the skin continues to age naturally, maintenance treatments are often recommended to help preserve results over time.
Your doctor will discuss an appropriate maintenance plan based on your individual goals.
What is the recovery time?
Most patients experience redness and mild swelling for one to three days after treatment.
Your skin may feel warm or tight, similar to mild sunburn, and some patients notice temporary roughness or dryness as the skin heals.
Most people return to normal activities within a day or two, although recovery varies depending on the treatment intensity.
Are there any risks?
Every medical procedure carries risk.
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, tenderness and mild skin peeling. Less commonly, bruising, infection, prolonged redness, pigment changes or scarring can occur.
Your doctor will assess your skin carefully before treatment to determine whether RF microneedling is appropriate and will discuss the potential risks and expected recovery during your consultation.
How much does it cost?
Every treatment plan is tailored to your skin concerns and goals.
Some patients benefit from RF microneedling alone, while others achieve the best results with a personalised combination of complementary treatments.
Following your consultation, you will receive an individualised treatment plan and written quote before deciding whether to proceed.
How do I prepare?
Please arrive with clean skin where possible.
Let your doctor know about any recent illnesses, medications, active skin infections, cold sores or recent cosmetic procedures.
Some prescription skincare products may need to be paused before treatment. You will receive personalised instructions based on your skin and treatment plan.
Can this be combined with other treatments?
Yes.
RF microneedling addresses one aspect of skin ageing, but many patients benefit from a combination approach.
Depending on your skin concerns, your treatment plan may include therapies that improve hydration, support skin regeneration, address pigmentation or redness, or incorporate prescription treatments where clinically appropriate.
Every recommendation is based on your individual skin assessment, with the aim of achieving healthy, natural-looking improvements over time.
Considering this treatment?
Every treatment begins with a consultation. There is no obligation to proceed, and sometimes the right recommendation is to wait or to do nothing at all.
