Are you looking for a non-surgical solution to address various skin concerns? Fractional Radiofrequency Microneedling (FRM) might be the answer you’ve been seeking. This treatment adds the power of microneedling and radiofrequency energy to stimulate your skin’s natural healing process and promote collagen production, resulting in a radiant complexion.
What is Fractional Radiofrequency Microneedling?
FRM is a minimally invasive procedure that involves creating tiny punctures in the skin with ultrafine needles. Simultaneously, radiofrequency energy is delivered to the deepest layers of the skin, generating heat and triggering collagen production. Collagen provides support to the skin. As collagen production declines with age, this leads to wrinkles and loose skin. By boosting collagen production, FRM helps to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness.
How Does it Work
The microneedles create controlled microinjuries in the skin, which trigger the body’s natural healing response. This process involves the microneedles puncturing the skin’s surface, stimulating the production of growth factors that infiltrate new collagen and elastin fibres, leading to skin rejuvenation. The radiofrequency energy further enhances this process by stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin.
The Benefits of FRM
FRM offers a wide range of benefits for various skin concerns, including:
- Skin Rejuvenation: FRM promotes a youthful appearance by improving skin texture, tone, and firmness.
- Wrinkle Reduction: The treatment helps to improve fine lines and wrinkles.
- Scar Improvement: FRM is highly effective in reducing the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
- Improved Texture and Tone: The treatment helps to even skin tone and improve texture, making the skin look smoother and more refined.
- Reduced Pore Size: FRM can help to minimise the appearance of large pores.
- Tightened Skin: The treatment helps to tighten loose skin on the face, neck, and body.
- Minimal Downtime: FRM has minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities quickly.
- Customisable Treatment: FRM treatment can be tailored to your skin’s needs and concerns.
Who is FRM Suitable For?
FRM is suitable for a wide range of individuals looking to address the following concerns:
- Ageing Skin: Fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of elasticity.
- Acne Scars: Different types of acne scars, including ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars.
- Skin Laxity: Loose skin on the body, face, and neck
- Stretch Marks: Stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, or other areas of the body.
- Enlarged Pores: FRM can help to minimise the appearance of large pores.
- Hyperpigmentation: Uneven skin tone and dark spots.
What to Expect During and After FRM
A numbing or anaesthetic cream is applied to the area before the procedure to minimise discomfort. The FRM device then creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin while delivering RF energy to the deeper layers. Depending on the area in which the patient is treated, the treatment usually takes 30-60 minutes.
After the treatment, it is common to experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort, which typically subsides within a few days. You may also experience some mild peeling or flaking as the skin heals
