Radio Frequency Micro Needling (RFMN) is an innovative treatment ideal for skin lifting, tightening and rejuvenation.
Radio Frequency Micro Needling (RFMN) is one of the most technologically advanced forms of skin rejuvenation therapy available. RFMN is a powerful combination of fractional radiofrequency energy (heating) and micro needling. It is an ideal non-surgical procedure to thicken and tighten skin, reduce wrinkles and pore size and treat acne scars and general scarring, through targeting the dermis. At the same time RFMN provides the cosmetic benefits of laser skin resurfacing with minimal recovery time as the most intense efficacious treatment occurs under the skin surface (epidermis layer).
RFMN uses bipolar Radio Frequency energy, delivered precisely and directly into the deeper layers of the dermis via minimally invasive micro-needles. Each shot delivers 25 superfine needles to a depth of 0.5mm to 3.5mm delivering varying levels of non-laser Radiofrequency without damaging the top layer of the skin. Depth and intensity of treatment is determined by your doctor.
RFMN improves the appearance of the surface skin and stimulates deeper tissue through microscopic wounds (fractionated denaturing) and stimulation of dermal tissue. RFMN stimulates fibroblast activity causing a significant increase in collagen and elastin production as well as tightening of elastin fibres and an increase in lymphatic flow.
The ideal is 5 treatments and with each the skin will appear clearer, smoother, tighter and more vibrant. Realistically those with acne and general scarring can expect an approximate improvement of 50% after 5 treatments. For wrinkles, lines and laxity, early intervention with maintenance treatments will be more effective in slowing the effects of aging.

After Care
Apply Bepanthen cream, Vitamin E oil, or similar fragrance and preservative free ointment to the skin for the first 7 days. After this, your normal moisturiser can be applied (Including Rejuvenate, if you have been prescribed these).
Sunscreen should be avoided for 7 days, and a sun hat worn when outside.
Harsh sunlight should be avoided, and sun hats should be worn to protect the skin treated with RFMN.
Artificial tan should not be applied for at least a month with RFMN.
You may experience some minor pin-point bleeding where the micro-needles have pierced the surface of the skin.
Rarely there may be some minor bruising. This is more likely if you are on blood thinners.
Some mild swelling might occur, particularly under the eyes, immediately after treatment, but this should resolve within 24 to 72 hours.
You may see some temporary patterning of the treated skin.
