Can RF microneedling prevent skin ageing?
RF microneedling is one of the most advanced skin rejuvenation treatments available today and combines two powerful technologies into a single procedure.
The treatment uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin while simultaneously, radio frequency waves are emitted, warming up the tissues around.
This combination stimulates the skin’s natural regeneration process, and encourages the production of collagen and elastin. These are two essential proteins responsible for skin strength, elasticity, and younger look.
As collagen naturally declines with age, RF microneedling helps reactivate the body’s natural healing response, making it a popular treatment choice for people searching for effective, minimally invasive anti-ageing treatments and solutions like RF needling near them.
How does RF needling work?
RF microneedling works by triggering controlled and natural skin renewal. Before we start the treatment, we will apply a numbing cream. A handpiece with a sterile disposable cartridge is then touching the skin, and we activate it with a press of a button. Microscopic needles penetrate the skin at various depths that we set up depending on the area treated and your individual skin concerns.
Radiofrequency energy is released into the skin. This heat energy stimulates fibroblast cells, which are responsible for producing collagen and elastin fibres. Studies have shown that controlled dermal heating combined with mechanical microneedling creates a stronger response to stimulate collagen compared to microneedling alone.
The procedure takes between 30 and 45 minutes. Following treatment, the skin may be mildly red and feel sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. These temporary effects usually settle within hours to one day as the skin begins its natural regeneration process.
What results can you get from RF microneedling?
RF microneedling is very versatile and effective in improving multiple skin concerns. The treatment works gradually by strengthening the skin’s structure from inside rather than creating artificial or temporary surface changes.
REDUCES SCARS AND STRETCH MARKS
RF microneedling is clinically proven to be effective at reducing post acne, surgical, or any other scars.
The treatment breaks down old scar tissue while it boosts the formation of new collagen fibres. By stimulating the new collagen fibers it gradually evens out the skin’s texture. The treatment not only reduces depth of scars and stretch marks but also improves their colour.
Research shows that repeated collagen stimulation can remodel scar tissue by reorganising collagen bundles, and leads to softer and less visible scars. Many people notice progressive improvement over several sessions as the skin rebuilds itself.
REDUCES WRINKLES AND IMPROVES SKIN FIRMNESS
Loss of collagen is one of the primary causes of wrinkles and loose skin. Rf needling is effective in smoothing finer and deeper wrinkles, and great at improving skin elasticity. It is like a non-invasive facelift, that improves skin firmness and structure. By stimulating collagen and elastin skin becomes plumper and looks younger. Regular RF microneedling sessions will delay the ageing process and prevent new wrinkles from forming.
Clinical studies demonstrate that RF microneedling can significantly improve skin laxity by triggering neocollagenesis, the formation of new collagen fibres, and continues it for several months after treatment.
IMPROVES SKIN TEXTURE
Textured skin and enlarged pores often result from reduced skin elasticity and slower cellular turnover. RF needling makes your skin look smoother, improves its colour and tone, and reduces the size of pores by tightening the skin. Regular treatments with radiofrequency needling stimulate cell renewal.
Many clients notice smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin as collagen levels rebuild.
REDUCES WRINKLES AND BAGS UNDER THE EYES
The delicate skin around the eyes is often the first area to show age due to its thin structure and reduced oil glands. RF microneedling helps improve microcirculation and firm the delicate skin around the eyes. This reduces dark circles and puffiness, making your eyes look fresher and younger. The treatment stimulates collagen production in this sensitive area, making skin firmer and tighter.
How long does it take to see results?
RF microneedling produces both short-term and long-term improvements. Many people notice first results of RF microneedling, brighter and fresher looking skin in a week or two.
However, the most significant results develop gradually as collagen production increases during the skin’s natural remodelling cycle. Scientific research shows collagen regeneration can continue for up to six months after treatment. A series of 3 – 4 treatments, each treatment 4 weeks apart are recommended to get the optimal firming, smoothing, and improvement in skin texture.
Why RF microneedling is considered a leading skin rejuvenation treatment in Hertfordshire?
Fractional radiofrequency is supported by strong clinical evidence that demonstrates its ability to improve skin quality with a short recovery time. Unlike more invasive procedures, RF microneedling works by activating the body’s own regenerative process rather than altering facial structure.
It improves skin condition, reduces imperfections, and bring back younger looking skin. It is minimally invasive and because of this it is an attractive alternative to more invasive aesthetic procedures.
The treatment is suitable for various skin types and concerns, making it a widely sought option for people seeking advanced anti-ageing treatments locally.
RF microneedling gives progressive, long-lasting improvement in skin health and look.
