RF Microneedling Singapore

What is RF Microneedling?

RF microneedling, or Radio Frequency microneedling, is a cosmetic treatment that combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with the power of radiofrequency energy.

In this procedure, a specialised device equipped with fine needles creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface, triggering the body’s natural healing process.

What sets RF microneedling apart is its dual action – while the needles stimulate collagen and elastin production, the device also delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the skin, heating the underlying tissue. This combination of micro-injury and controlled thermal energy leads to several benefits. It can target and treat acne scar, as well as improve skin tightness, making it particularly effective for individuals with sagging or loose skin.

What Can RF Microneedling Treat?

RF Microneedling is suitable to target aging, sagging skin, pigmentation removal, reduce wrinkles, acne scar treatment, treatment to reduce stretch marks on belly. It provides complete control over treatment depth and energy levels to enable a targeted approach for customised treatments, regardless of patient’s skin type.

Designed for skin renewal via different layers

RF Microneedling delivers enhanced wrinkle reduction through 3-dimensional energy delivery to volumise tissue. Adjustable RF thermal energy is delivered to stimulate collagen production at 3.5mm, below the surface of the skin. It is customised for delicate areas and is suitable for patients with melasma and other types of pigmented lesions.

It is also used to reduce enlarged skin pores, and an ideal acne scar treatment and it rejuvenate the skin. Treatment can also be done to lighten stretch marks on belly by stimulating collagen remodelling.

How Does RF Microneedling Work?

RF Microneedling, also known as Radiofrequency Microneedling, is a skin rejuvenation technique that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to enhance the skin’s appearance and texture. This procedure targets various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.

1. Microneedling 

Microneedling involves the use of a device equipped with fine needles that create micro-injuries or tiny punctures on the skin’s surface. These controlled injuries stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin fibres. This process, known as collagen induction therapy, helps improve skin texture and firmness, reduce the appearance of scars, and minimise pores.

2. Radiofrequency Energy

In RF Microneedling, the needles used are insulated, and they deliver radiofrequency energy deep into the skin layers as they penetrate. This combination allows for precise heating of the dermis without damaging the superficial layers of the skin. The radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers, causing a controlled thermal injury that further stimulates collagen and elastin production. The heat also promotes tissue tightening and remodelling, enhancing the results of the treatment.

Procedure and Benefits

During the procedure, a topical anaesthetic cream is applied to ensure the patient feels comfortable throughout the treatment. The device is then moved over the treatment area, creating micro-injuries and delivering RF energy simultaneously. The procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

RF Microneedling offers several benefits, including minimal downtime, reduced risk of hyperpigmentation compared to other resurfacing techniques, and the ability to treat various skin issues.

Results become visible over several weeks as the skin undergoes its natural healing process, with optimal results often seen after multiple sessions.

Overall, RF Microneedling is an option for individuals seeking to improve their skin’s texture, tone, and elasticity without disruptions to daily activities, for long-lasting rejuvenation and a more youthful appearance.

• Avoid sun exposure 1 week before treatment
• Stop lightening products

What to Expect Before, During and After RF Microneedling

• Numbing cream to minimise any discomfort
• Warm sensation during treatment
• Treatment duration within 45min including prep time
• Redness or swelling (if any) should subside within treatment day or the day after

RF Microneedling Post Care

• Avoid sun exposure or direct heat contact
• Avoid abrasive skincare products (scrubs, exfoliation)
• Scabbing might happen but avoid picking on dry skin
• Be generous with sun protection products

RF Microneedling Treatment Intervals

• 4 to 6 sessions needed. Recommended to repeat treatment every 4 weeks, or if necessary

What can I combine this treatment with?

Our RF Microneedling treatment is often combined with PDRN, a versatile adjunct to many aesthetic treatments.

What is PDRN?

PDRN (Poly Deoxy Ribo Nucleotide) is a substance extracted from the testis of salmon. It is a vital ingredient and registered drug that aids tissue repairing, anti-ischemic, and anti-inflammatory.

PDRN helps skin cells regenerate. Clinical studies have shown that salmon DNA has good effect on cell growth and tissue regeneration. It stimulates and increases the metabolic activity of cells in the skin by regenerating key components like collagen and glycoprotein.

Results: Improvement in skin texture, elasticity, and hydration.

Skin feels smooth, supple, and fine lines appear to be lesser.
