Radio Frequency Microneedling

Tackle fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, excess fat and uneven skin texture with radio frequency microneedling at So Medical Aesthetics in Colchester.

What Is Radio Frequency Microneedling?

Radio frequency microneedling uses a combination of tiny needles and radio frequency waves to rejuvenate the skin. First, ultra fine needles create tiny punctures in the skin’s surface to stimulate the body’s natural healing response and prompt the production of collagen. Then, radio frequency energy is delivered deep into the dermis to tighten the skin, resulting in improved texture and reduced wrinkles.

At So Medical Aesthetics, we use a Focus Dual device to deliver this treatment. It can be combined with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to lift, tighten and reduce pockets of stubborn fat on the face, neck, decolletage and body.

Benefits Of Radio Frequency Microneedling

Pain-free and safe for all skin types, radio frequency microneedling is renowned for its ability to rejuvenate the skin. The treatment:

  • Stimulates the production of collagen to diminish the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and creases.
  • Resurfaces the skin to reduce the appearance of pigmentation.
  • Improves the appearance of acne scars and other minor scarring. By generating heat in the dermis, it can also destroy acne-causing bacteria.
  • Helps to shrink enlarged pores by improving overall skin texture.
  • Can be used to treat puffy eyelids and swollen bags under the eyes.
  • Enhances the skin’s ability to retain moisture and nutrients by promoting the production of hyaluronic acid.
  • Radio frequency microneedling can also be combined with DERMALUX LIGHT THERAPY to enhance the results of your treatment, assist with wound healing and downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Focus Dual® treatment work?

The Focus Dual hand-held device can deliver combination treatments to personalise your desired result. Microneedling generates tiny wounds at a microscopic level, then it delivers radiofrequency deep into the skin. This treatment combination stimulates the body’s natural repair and rejuvenation processes, triggering the production of collagen and elastin – essential components that keep skin supple and firm.

The HIFU element of the device lifts and tightens areas including the jowls, neck and stomach. It can also be used to reduce pockets of stubborn fat.

Does HIFU Hurt?

The advanced technology of the Focus Dual device delivers pain-free HIFU treatment.
