Fractional RF Face
Combining the power of Micro-needling and Radio frequency in 1!
Fractional RF is a skin treatment that combines radio frequency and micro-needling to stimulate a natural healing process in your skin. Fractional RF is a non surgical treatment to improve skin texture, firmness, elasticity and appearance. Fractional RF works by creating tiny wounds in your skin which triggers elastin and collagen production. Fractional Rf can target various skin conditions such as fine lines and wrinkles, loose skin, acne scarring, pigmentation and enlarged pores.
All about Fractional RF
How Does Fractional RF Work?
.Fractional RF uses the micro-needling technology to penetrate the skin which creates tiny tears in the skin. Then the radio frequency energy then triggers the healing response. The microneedle penetrates into the dermal and subdermal tissue layers as to others which are only able to reach the top layer.
The response fractional RF drives heat into the areas and increases your level of collagen production, elastin, new skin cells and the remodelling of the skin. Which are essential building blocks for skin rejuvenation. Resulting in tighter skin, decreased fine lines and wrinkles and much more.
This new treatment is micro-needling combined with radiofrequency. Radiofrequency has been scientifically proven to stimulate collagen with micro-needling has been proven to stimulate collagen production resulting in amazing results. This elite combination treatment is your next step in your aesthetic journey.
Although fractional RF uses needles, it’s not usually painful. Any discomfort that is felt during the treatment is often very tolerable. Our team can also apply a numbing cream if requested.
How many treatments are needed?
While a single treatment can provide stunning results, we usually recommend multiple sessions to achieve the best outcomes. This will vary from client to client and will be determined based on your aesthetic goals. On average, we suggest 3 – 4 treatments spaced 3 – 5 weeks apart.
The results are long-lasting. Since RF technology helps boost collagen production over time, results will continue to improve up to three months after your initial session.
Can I return to normal life after treatment?
Yes, You can also get back to your usual routine immediately after your treatment and apply makeup the next day. However, be aware there might be redness (looks like sunburn) swelling ect. This will all be explained in your free consultation.
I've had micro-needling before, how is this different?
Fractional RF is microneedling with radio frequency with adjusted depth (up to 4mm) fine surgical pins. Which at the end of these pins radio frequency waves are emitted. This means you get an elite, all in one skin rejuvenation and tightening treatment. The microneedles cause a controlled injury to the area, which results in the formation of new collagen and elastin. In addition the radio frequency waves also stimulate collagen and elastin for a faster, quicker healing process.

How often can I have this treatment?
You can have treatment 1x per month. As it takes 28 days to make new collagen you can have treatments as soon as this. Your skin will continue to remodel for 3 months so stacking treatments more often will compound up on each other.
What is the best candidate for this treatment?
The best candidate for Fractional Radio Frequency skin resurfacing treatments is someone who shows signs of skin damage or skin texture imperfections. Signs of skin damage may include scars, deep wrinkles, visible pores, stretch marks, and other conditions that affect the skin’s surface texture. Treatments are safe for all skin tones.
HIFU and RF use different technologies to heat the deep tissues of the skin. Skin tightening with HIFU delivers more precise and intense ultrasound energy to the SMAS layer, while RF works based on a bulk heating strategy. HIFU goes much deeper into and beyond the dermis and can reach the SMAS layer. RF cannot go as deep as HIFU, however using these two treatments together give ultimate results and unlike HIFU Fractional RF can work all around the mouth, eyelids and infuses specialist medical grade cocktail peptides into the skin which are used to treat a wide range of skin concerns.
