RF Microneedling (Skin Tightening)

Radiofrequency microneedling combines microneedling with RF energy delivered into the deeper skin to tighten laxity and improve texture more powerfully than microneedling alone. The radiofrequency heats the dermis to stimulate collagen, making it well suited to early jowls, crêpey skin and the neck. MediLaser prices it by area, from the face alone up to face, neck and décolleté.

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling pairs the collagen-stimulating effect of microneedling with controlled radiofrequency energy released from the needle tips into the deeper layers of the skin. While the micro-needles trigger the surface healing response, the radiofrequency heats the dermis to contract existing collagen and prompt new collagen and elastin formation — giving a firming, tightening effect that plain microneedling cannot achieve on its own. This makes it a popular option for early skin laxity rather than purely surface texture. At MediLaser the area is cleansed and numbed before treatment, which takes around forty-five to sixty minutes depending on the zones covered. Expect redness and a feeling of mild tightness or warmth for a day or two, with little other downtime. It is particularly useful for softening early jowls, firming the lower face and neck and improving crêpey skin, and can be extended to the décolleté. Because the result builds as collagen remodels, a course of around three sessions four to six weeks apart is associated with the best outcome, with improvement continuing over the following months and occasional maintenance afterwards. The clinic prices the treatment by area. Suitability — including for anyone with certain implanted electronic devices — is assessed beforehand, and the treatment is avoided in pregnancy.
