Microneedling with Radiofrequency – Facial Treatment for Skin Rejuvenation

Benefits of Microneedling with Radiofrequency:

The combined effect of microneedles and radiofrequency energy enables effective skin tightening and rejuvenation. Compared to more invasive procedures, there is no lengthy recovery period—most patients quickly return to their daily routines. By stimulating collagen production, skin structure is improved long-term, and results can be visible for several months.

It is a highly successful method for treating wrinkles, lifting lower eyelids, rejuvenating the neck, décolletage, and hands. Even sagging cheeks can be reduced, allowing for firmer skin without surgery.

This treatment also delivers excellent results in improving acne scars, post-surgical scars, and stretch marks (including pregnancy-related ones).

Microneedling with radiofrequency represents a promising option in aesthetic medicine for restoring the skin’s natural beauty.

WHAT SKIN TYPES CAN BE TREATED WITH RF-MICRONEEDLING?

According to Dr. Elizabeta and Dr. Darko Nikolić, the treatment is generally suitable for various skin types:

• For normal skin, it enhances texture, firmness, and rejuvenation.

• For dry skin, it improves hydration and reduces signs of dryness.

• For oily skin, it helps tighten pores and refine texture.

• For combination skin, it targets different concerns simultaneously.

• For sensitive skin, our advanced device allows precise intensity adjustments to prevent excessive irritation.

Treated Areas Include:

• Face

• Neck

• Décolletage

• Hands

• Armpits

• Body (upper arms, elbows, inner thighs, knees, etc.)

ADVANTAGES

A major advantage is the ability to adjust penetration depth up to 3.5 mm, stimulating deeper collagen structures compared to lasers. The micro-channels prevent pigmentation changes and scarring, making treatment possible year-round.

WHAT MAKES OUR MICRONEEDLING DEVICE SPECIAL?

Thanks to the “cold” insertion of gold-tipped needles through the epidermis and heat delivery only to deeper skin layers, pain is significantly reduced. Needle length (0.5–3.5 mm) and intensity can be individually adjusted, effectively treating all skin layers.

HOW IS THE MICRONEEDLING WITH RADIOFREQUENCY TREATMENT PERFORMED?

A typical treatment involves:

• A thorough consultation to assess skin needs and define a treatment plan

• Skin cleansing and optional application of numbing cream

• Use of a handheld device with fine micro-needles, which penetrate the skin while emitting RF energy to stimulate collagen

• Micro-injuries and uniform heating trigger skin regeneration and tightening

• Minor redness post-treatment typically resolves quickly

TREATMENT DURATION

Depends on the treated area; typically lasts 30–60 minutes. For enhanced results, stimulating substances can be applied post-treatment via the micro-channels.

HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE NEEDED?

We recommend 3–5 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months help prolong results.

PRE- AND POST-TREATMENT CARE

Before:

• Avoid blood thinners for at least one week

After:

• Avoid direct sun exposure for 6–8 weeks

• Use SPF 30+ when outdoors

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS:

Though generally safe, minor side effects can include:

• Redness (a few hours or longer with sensitive skin)

• Swelling (usually mild and temporary)

• Bruising (small and fade quickly)

• Mild pain or discomfort

• Numbness or tingling (temporary)

• Scabbing (let heal naturally)

• Skin infection (rare if post-care instructions are followed)

Strictly following your doctor’s instructions minimizes risks. Serious reactions are rare.
