Radiofrequency Microneedling (RF Lifting)

RF lifting at Impera Clinic combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy for intensive skin rejuvenation and firming. This technology stimulates collagen and elastin production, improves skin structure, reduces wrinkles and pores, and restores firmness and a youthful appearance. It is also effective for acne scarring and for improving overall skin texture and tone. An advantage of the treatment is minimal recovery time, with visible results after just a few sessions. RF microneedling is suitable for both women and men.

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling combines two proven skin-rejuvenation mechanisms — micro-needling and radiofrequency heating — to remodel the skin from within, with little surface downtime. **How it works:** A handpiece delivers an array of fine microneedles into the skin while emitting radiofrequency energy from the needle tips. The micro-injuries trigger the skin's natural wound-healing and collagen-induction response, while the RF heat deposited in the dermis causes immediate collagen contraction and stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin. Together these tighten and thicken the skin over the following weeks. **What it improves:** - Skin laxity and firmness (lifting effect) - Wrinkles and fine lines - Enlarged pores - Skin structure, texture, and tone - Acne scarring **Advantages:** A key benefit is the minimal recovery time compared with more aggressive resurfacing, with visible improvements appearing after just a few sessions. The treatment is suitable for both women and men and can be used across the face and on areas prone to acne scarring. **The session:** After cleansing, a topical anaesthetic is applied for comfort. The practitioner then passes the RF microneedling handpiece systematically over the treatment area, adjusting needle depth and energy to each zone. A session takes around 45–60 minutes including anaesthetic time. **Aftercare:** Redness and mild swelling, similar to mild sunburn, are normal for 24–48 hours, sometimes with tiny crusts at needle points that clear within a few days. Avoid makeup for 24 hours and avoid sauna, swimming, and intense exercise for 48–72 hours. Daily SPF is important afterward. A course of sessions spaced a few weeks apart gives the best result, with collagen remodelling continuing over the following months. Provided to adults 18+ after individual consultation; results vary.
