Microneedle radiofrequency is a modern aesthetic medicine treatment that is a less invasive alternative to traditional plastic surgery. It combines two popular techniques: microneedle mesotherapy and radiofrequency (RF). In practice it involves precisely puncturing the skin with fine needles while the tissue is simultaneously heated by electromagnetic energy.
Thanks to this combination, microneedle radiofrequency effectively improves skin tone and reduces wrinkles, acne scars and stretch marks. Because of its strong firming and lifting effect, it is often called thermolifting.
Who can benefit from the treatment?
Before deciding on microneedle radiofrequency, it is worth reading the list of indications and contraindications and, if in doubt, consulting a specialist at a cosmetology clinic.
The treatment may be suitable for people struggling with:
- Stretch marks and cellulite
- Scars, including acne scars
- Signs of skin ageing such as sagging and tiredness
- Dark circles under the eyes
- Wrinkles
- Drooping eyelids
- Skin pigmentation
When is the treatment not recommended?
Contraindications include active infections (viral, bacterial, fungal), skin inflammation, cancer, phlebitis and the presence of metal implants or a pacemaker. The treatment is also not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
What results does microneedle radiofrequency give?
Microneedle radiofrequency is a versatile treatment that brings benefits not only on the face, neck and décolleté but also on other parts of the body. It helps with:
Reducing stretch marks: it effectively reduces the visibility of stretch marks of various causes (sudden weight change, pregnancy, genetics), while firming the skin of the thighs, abdomen and buttocks.
Removing cellulite: radio waves acting on areas affected by cellulite smooth the skin, and visible results can be seen after just a few sessions.
- Eliminating scars: the treatment helps reduce superficial scars, for example acne scars or those left by minor skin injuries.
