A treatment using combination of the effects of electromagnetic waves and microneedling effects.
Are you interested in lifting, revitalising and thickening the skin? The synergy of these two effective treatments: radiofrequency and microneedling will give magnificent results!
The initial goal of microneedle radiofrequency devices was to revitalise the skin by inducing thermal shock at precisely defined depths which stimulates the skin to regenerate and rebuild its structure.
There turned out to be more uses for this treatment than initially assumed. It is currently performed not only as a lifting procedure but also as an effective treatment of stretch marks and atrophic scars.

How does rf microneedling work?
Microneedle radiofrequency, as the name suggested, combines two techniques of radiofrequency and microneedling.
Micro-puncturing causes microtrauma which forces the skin to rapidly activate the healing and renewal process.
Radiofrequency heats up deep layers of the skin using energy radio frequency electromagnetic waves. In tissues heated this way, collagen fibres contract which begins the regenerative processes
Combining these two mechanisms gives much better results than using them separately.
Indications for micro-needle Rf:
- Stretch marks
- Atrophic scars (e.g. acne scars)
- Flabby, thin skin of the face, neck or abdomen (e.g. after pregnancy)
- Skin laxity
- Signs of aging
- Dark circles under the eyes
- Loss of the face oval
- Enlarged pores
- Hyperhidrosis
Contraindications to microneedle radiofrequency:
- pregnancy and lactation period
- active viral, fungal or bacterial skin infections
- unregulated diseases (diabetes, hashimoto’s, etc.)
- cancer
- anticoagulants intake
- isotretonin (an anti-acne medicine) intake => tendency to develop keloids
- purulent, pinkish acne and all active forms of acne
- active skin lesions in the course of lichen planus, atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, etc.
- open wounds in the treatment area
- recent trauma
- some aesthetic medicine treatments
What areas of the body can the treatment be applied to?
The treatment can be used on the face, neck and all areas of the body affected by the problems listed in the indications.
Is the microneedle radiofrequency treatment safe?
Microneedle radiofrequency treatment is safe if it is carried out by a qualified operator using certified, good quality equipment and disposable cartridges compatible with the device.
Microneedle radiofrequency effects
- face skin lifting
- stretch mark reduction
- reduction or removal of acne scars
- firming flaccid abdominal skin (e.g. after pregnancy)
- increase in the density, elasticity and tension of the skin
- reduction of shadows under the eyes and tear troughs
- reduction of enlarged pores
- decrease in sweating (surgery in the armpit)
Micro-needle Rf brings very good results in the treatment of stretch marks, acne scars and skin laxity, and in view of these three indications, we use it very often in our clinic (independently or in combined therapies). The main effect of micro-needle radiofrequency is the improvement of skin quality, its thickening and lifting. The collagen formed after the treatment fills small wrinkles of the face, neck and neckline, not excluding the eye area.
How long does it take for you to see the results?
Immediately after the treatment, collagen fibers shrink, which makes the skin tighter. This, however, cannot be seen with the naked eye. Only a few weeks after the treatment, can you see its real results because in the meantime, new collagen fibers and bonds between them are formed, and the skin becomes firm and elastic.
How long do the effects last?
The effect of a series of microneedle radiofrequency treatments lasts up to 2 years. After a year, it is recommended to undergo a series of treatments again.
When can I return to my daily activities?
Usually the very next day after the treatment.
What is the procedure of microneedle radiofrequency treatment like?
After the treatment area is disinfected, the matrix is moved over it, puncturing the skin at appropriately adjusted depths and time intervals. While puncturing, an electromagnetic radio frequency (rf) wave is emitted. A single exposure takes no more than a second.
Microneedle radiofrequency affects several zones; skin coagulation (deep puncture), coagulation, reconstruction and thickening of collagen (intermediate puncture), thickening and reconstruction of collagen (superficial puncture).
How long does microneedle radiofrequency treatment take?
The duration of the entire treatment procedure depends on the surface of the skin that will be treated. The average time is between 30 to 90 minutes.
When can you undergo microneedle radiofrequency treatment?
You can undergo the microneedle radiofrequency treatment at any time of the year. This provides a decisive advantage over some other treatments, the use of which should be limited only to the autumn and winter months.
What does the skin look like immediately after the treatment?
After the procedure, the skin is red and may appear swollen and red. In most cases, everything disappears in the next few days.
The skin condition will improve over time as a result of regenerative processes.
How often should I undergo a microneedle radiofrequency treatment?
If the purpose of the therapy is to lift and rejuvenate the skin of the face, it is recommended to have 2-3 treatments (depending on the original condition of the skin) at monthly intervals. Sometimes the first treatment gives satisfactory results. If a facelift is indicated, a microneedle rf treatment is worth to be combined with a hifu treatment.
The reduction of acne scars and stretch marks usually requires more treatments.
What are the recommendations after microneedle radiofrequency treatment?
For a few days after the treatment, you should use creams with a UV50 filter, and, at night, a healing cream, such as Zinalfat.
Alcohol and physical activity should be avoided for 24 hours after the procedure or until the redness or swelling goes away. Don’t use makeup for 24 hours after the treatment and avoid touching your face.
For 14 days after the treatment, large fluctuations in temperature should be avoided: do not use the solarium, hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, cryotherapy.
Postpone skin exfoliating treatments for (a period of) at least 3 weeks.
