RF Microneedling
(MNRF)
A clinically advanced combination treatment that delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis via micro-fine needles — tightening skin, reducing wrinkles, and dramatically improving texture with long-lasting results.
Dual-Action Skin Remodelling
from Within
RF Microneedling — also known as MNRF (Microneedling with Radiofrequency) — combines two proven technologies into a single, highly effective treatment. Ultra-fine insulated needles create controlled micro-channels in the skin while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy directly to the deeper dermal layers.
This dual-action approach triggers the body's natural wound-healing response and stimulates collagen and elastin production at a cellular level — resulting in visibly tighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. It is particularly effective for treating skin laxity, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture, making it one of the most versatile anti-ageing treatments available today.

What to Expect
Consult & Skin Assessment
Your dermatologist evaluates your skin type, laxity, scar depth, and areas of concern. A personalised treatment plan is developed — including the number of sessions, needle depth, and RF intensity settings suited to your specific skin goals.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area and left for approximately 30–45 minutes to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Pre-care instructions may include temporarily pausing active skincare ingredients such as retinoids and exfoliants.
Treatment Day
The RF microneedling handpiece is passed over the treatment area in a systematic pattern. Insulated microneedles penetrate to a precise depth while radiofrequency energy is delivered to the dermis. The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes depending on the area treated.
Immediate Post-Treatment Care
Mild redness, warmth, and minor swelling are normal and expected for 24–72 hours post-treatment. Your physician will prescribe a gentle post-care routine including a healing serum and broad-spectrum SPF. Strenuous activity and heat exposure should be avoided for 48 hours.
Progressive Results — Weeks 4 to 12
Collagen remodelling is a gradual process. Initial improvements in texture and glow are visible within 2–4 weeks. The most significant tightening and scar improvement continues to build over 3 months, as new collagen matures and reorganises beneath the skin.
Maintenance (Every 12–18 Months)
After completing your initial series of 3–4 sessions, results last 12–18 months. A single annual maintenance session is recommended to sustain collagen levels and preserve the quality of your results long-term.

Prices are approximate and may vary based on the area treated, skin condition, number of passes, RF energy settings required, and number of sessions in your personalised plan. A detailed treatment quote will be provided after your in-clinic skin assessment and consultation.
Common Questions
How is RF Microneedling different from standard microneedling?
Standard microneedling relies solely on mechanical micro-injuries to stimulate collagen. RF Microneedling (MNRF) adds radiofrequency energy delivered precisely into the dermis, significantly amplifying collagen and elastin production — and delivering more pronounced tightening and longer-lasting results of 12–18 months vs 6–12 months for standard microneedling.
Is it safe for all skin tones?
Yes. Because the RF energy is delivered below the epidermis via insulated needles, it bypasses the surface pigment layer — making MNRF one of the safest energy-based treatments for darker Indian skin tones with a low risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
Is the procedure painful?
A topical numbing cream is applied 30–45 minutes before the procedure, making it very well tolerated. Most patients describe a warm, pressure-like sensation during treatment. Any discomfort is minimal and brief.
When will I see results?
Improvements in skin texture and glow typically begin within 2–4 weeks of the first session. However, the most significant tightening and scar reduction occurs progressively over 3 months as new collagen matures. Results continue to improve with each subsequent session.
How much downtime should I expect?
Redness, mild swelling, and a warm sensation are normal for 24–72 hours post-treatment. Most patients can resume desk-based work within a day. Strenuous exercise, heat exposure, and active skincare ingredients should be avoided for 48 hours. Full skin normalisation typically occurs within 3–5 days.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. RF Microneedling pairs particularly well with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) applied topically after the session to accelerate healing and enhance rejuvenation. It also complements Botox, dermal fillers, and chemical peels as part of a full-face rejuvenation protocol. Your dermatologist will recommend the best combination plan for your goals.
