RF Fraxx Microneedling Face

Radiofrequency fractional microneedling of the full face using insulated needle technology to deliver controlled thermal energy into the dermis, stimulating collagen remodelling, skin tightening, and textural improvement.

RF fractional microneedling combines two established dermatological technologies — microneedling and radiofrequency energy delivery — into a single device that creates controlled thermal micro-injuries at precise depths within the dermis. The Fraxx system uses an array of insulated microneedles that penetrate the skin to a calibrated depth, then emit bipolar radiofrequency energy from the needle tips. Because the needles are insulated along their shafts, the RF energy is released only at the target depth, sparing the epidermis and concentrating the thermal effect where collagen and elastin fibres are most abundant. The treatment at Centrum Medyczne Tartaczna 2 covers the full face and takes approximately 45 minutes including numbing time. Topical anaesthetic cream is applied for 20 to 30 minutes before the procedure. The physician then systematically treats each facial zone — forehead, temples, cheeks, nasolabial region, jawline, and perioral area — adjusting needle depth and RF energy intensity based on skin thickness and the specific concern in each area. Typical treatment depths range from 0.5mm to 3.5mm, with deeper settings used on thicker skin like the cheeks and jawline, and shallower settings around the delicate periorbital and lip areas. The controlled dermal heating triggers a wound-healing cascade that unfolds over several weeks. In the immediate inflammatory phase (days 1-3), growth factors and cytokines are released. During the proliferative phase (weeks 1-4), fibroblasts produce new collagen type III. Over the following months, this immature collagen remodels into stronger collagen type I, progressively tightening and firming the treated skin. The micro-channels created by the needles also enhance the penetration of topical serums applied immediately after treatment. A course of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. Patients typically notice initial skin texture improvement within 2 weeks of the first session, with progressive tightening and wrinkle reduction continuing for 3 to 6 months after the final treatment. Social downtime is minimal — expect redness and mild swelling for 24 to 48 hours, with most patients comfortable returning to normal activities the following day.
