RF Needling (Face)
RF needling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to firm the skin, refine texture and soften acne scars and fine lines.
£499.99 per session
Overview
Collagen renewal from within
Fine insulated needles enter the skin to a set depth, which can be adjusted up to 3 mm. Radiofrequency energy is delivered through the needle tips, gently heating the deeper layers of the skin and triggering its natural repair and collagen production.
Because the energy works below the surface, results build gradually over the weeks after treatment. A course is usually recommended.
What it can help with
- Acne scarring and uneven texture
- Enlarged-looking pores
- Fine lines
- Mild skin laxity
