Fractional RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency energy delivered deep via microneedles
Fractional RF Microneedling combines the collagen-induction of microneedling with precisely targeted radiofrequency thermal energy, delivering heat exactly where it is needed in the dermis to produce significantly greater skin tightening and scar improvement than either technology achieves alone.
The insulated needles protect the skin's surface while concentrating energy at programmable depths, making this safe for most skin types and highly effective for acne scars, pores, skin laxity and stretch marks.
Key Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions
How is fractional RF microneedling different from standard microneedling?
RF microneedling delivers thermal energy to the dermis via insulated needles, producing significantly greater tissue remodelling than the mechanical stimulus of standard microneedling alone.
How many sessions are needed?
Typically 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart; results continue to improve for up to 6 months after the last session.
