NATURAL. SUBTLE. YOU.
Acne scars, stretch marks and reduced skin firmness can change skin texture. RF microneedling delivers targeted energy to support smoother, firmer-looking skin.
RF microneedling combines fine needles with radiofrequency energy to deliver controlled heat to selected layers of the skin. RF microneedling and targeted collagen stimulation are among Dr Darko Nikolic’s areas of clinical focus at DIVINE Medica.
RF microneedling combines fine needles with radiofrequency energy, creating controlled heat in selected skin layers. The resulting collagen remodelling can improve acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines and uneven texture. The procedure may also be suitable for mild skin laxity on the face or selected body areas. Stretch marks are treated as a separate indication, with a dedicated protocol tailored to the specific body area.
Suitable indications include acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven texture and mild skin laxity. Stretch marks on appropriate body areas are treated using a separate RF microneedling protocol. Active inflammation and individual contraindications are assessed beforehand.
Needle depth and energy are selected according to skin thickness and the underlying tissue. In addition to infection, pigment changes and scarring, serious burns, unintended fat loss and nerve injury have also been reported. Personalised medical counselling and careful treatment planning for each area are therefore essential.
During the consultation, we assess whether your main concerns are scars, fine lines, enlarged pores or loss of firmness. We tailor the plan to the treatments suitable for you and how well your skin tolerates them.
During the consultation, we assess whether your main concerns are scars, fine lines, enlarged pores or loss of firmness. Skin thickness, tissue structure and previous treatments help determine suitability. For stretch marks, we also assess how long they have been present, their width and depth, and the body area affected. This allows us to create an individual treatment plan covering treatment intensity, session intervals and follow-up.
The planned treatment areas are documented, cleansed and disinfected. Anaesthesia and sterile needle tips are prepared, while needle depth and energy are selected according to the area being treated.
A sterile needle tip delivers radiofrequency pulses at the preselected skin depths. Needle depth and energy are adjusted according to the treatment area, and a session generally lasts 30–60 minutes. Stretch marks are treated using a separate protocol for the affected body area. Local anaesthesia helps reduce discomfort, although pressure, warmth and brief stinging sensations may still occur.
At the end of the session, we assess the immediate response of the treated area. Skin texture and firmness can continue to improve over several months as collagen remodelling progresses. Aftercare and follow-up appointments are tailored accordingly.
Please tell us about medications, implants, herpes, wound-healing problems and previous procedures. Do not change prescribed medication on your own. A fresh tan, active inflammation or broken skin will be assessed before treatment. For stretch-mark treatment, the relevant body area is prepared separately.
Use gentle skincare on treated areas and follow our guidance on sun protection, make-up, heat and exercise. Do not pick at or disturb pinpoint treatment marks. Severe pain, blisters, increasing inflammation or persistent changes in sensation should be medically assessed.
Skin texture and firmness can continue to improve over several months as collagen remodelling progresses. Acne scars and stretch marks may become flatter and less noticeable, although the degree of improvement depends on the severity and characteristics of the treated area. A course of treatments is often planned, with progress assessed over approximately 3–6 months. The goal is visible improvement in texture, not complete removal of scars or stretch marks.
