RF needling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to firm loose skin and improve scars, stretch marks and texture on the body.
£620 per session
Overview
Firmer, smoother skin on the body
Fine insulated needles reach up to around 3 mm into the skin and deliver radiofrequency energy, gently heating the deeper layers to stimulate new collagen and elastin.
On the body it is used for stretch marks, loose skin, scars and uneven texture. A course of sessions is usually recommended, with results building over the following months. It can be combined with PRP or I-PRF.
What it can help with
- Stretch marks
- Loose or crêpey skin
- Acne scars and other scars
- Uneven texture
