Advanced Skin Remodelling Technology

Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling represents a significant advancement in non-surgical skin rejuvenation, combining two powerful modalities into one treatment. By delivering controlled RF heat energy deep into the dermis via fine microneedles, this technology stimulates a more robust collagen and elastin response than microneedling alone, leading to superior skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and scar improvement.

At PRP London Clinic, our medical team utilises state-of-the-art RF Microneedling systems, including the highly regarded Morpheus8 and Sylfirm X devices, to achieve remarkable results. This page provides an overview of the technology; explore the device-specific pages for detailed information.

How RF Microneedling Works

The treatment leverages a dual action:

  1. Microneedling: Fine, sterile needles penetrate the skin to controlled depths, creating micro-channels. This triggers the body's natural wound healing response, initiating collagen production (Collagen Induction Therapy).
  2. Radiofrequency Energy: As the needles reach the target depth, they emit controlled RF energy directly into the dermis. This generates heat, causing controlled thermal coagulation. This heat injury further intensifies collagen and elastin production and contraction, leading to tissue tightening and remodelling over time.

By combining physical stimulation (needles) with thermal energy (RF), RF Microneedling achieves more significant textural improvements and skin tightening compared to traditional microneedling.

General Benefits of RF Microneedling

RF Microneedling treatments can address a wide range of skin concerns, including:

  • Skin Laxity and Sagging (Face, Neck, Body)
  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles
  • Acne Scarring (Atrophic Scars)
  • Surgical or Traumatic Scars
  • Enlarged Pores
  • Uneven Skin Texture and Tone
  • Stretch Marks (Striae)
  • *Specific devices may also target pigment/redness (Sylfirm X) or fat remodelling (Morpheus8).*

The specific benefits and target concerns may vary slightly depending on the device used (Morpheus8 vs. Sylfirm X).

The General RF Microneedling Procedure

A typical RF Microneedling session involves:

  1. Consultation: Thorough skin assessment, discussion of goals, and selection of the appropriate device and treatment settings with our medical team.
  2. Preparation: Cleansing the skin and applying strong topical anaesthetic cream for 30-60 minutes to ensure comfort.
  3. Treatment: Our medical team applies the device handpiece to the skin, delivering the microneedles and RF energy in controlled passes across the treatment area.
  4. Post-Treatment: Application of a calming serum or mask. Skin will be red and feel warm.

Treatment time is typically 60-90 minutes, including numbing.

Results Timeline & Sessions Needed

Results develop over time as collagen remodelling occurs:

  • Initial Effects: Some immediate tightening might be felt due to heat, but redness and swelling are primary initial effects.
  • Weeks 4-6: Early improvements in texture and tone may become visible.
  • Months 3-6: Significant improvements in skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and scar appearance become apparent as new collagen matures.

A course of 1-3 sessions (for Morpheus8) or 3+ sessions (often for Sylfirm X, depending on indication), spaced 4-6 weeks apart, is usually recommended for optimal results. Our medical team will advise based on the chosen device and your goals.

Safety of RF Microneedling

RF Microneedling is safe for most skin types, including darker skin tones (with appropriate settings), when performed by a trained professional like Our medical team. Expected side effects include redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, and potential temporary grid marks or slight bruising, typically resolving within 3-7 days depending on intensity. Proper pre- and post-care instructions are crucial and provided by our medical team.
