Microneedling RF (Radiofrequency) treatment, also known as MNRF, is a cosmetic procedure that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to rejuvenate the skin.
Microneedling: Involves using a device with fine needles to create thousands of tiny, controlled punctures (micro-injuries) in the skin.
Radiofrequency (RF) Energy: As the microneedles penetrate the skin, they emit RF energy into the dermis layer. This energy generates heat, which further enhances collagen and elastin production.
People with active acne, skin infections, or open wounds in the treatment area should avoid the procedure until these conditions are resolved.
The safety of Microneedling RF has not been established for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Individuals with certain skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or herpes simplex near the treatment area may experience exacerbations following treatment.
People with immune system disorders or those on immunosuppressive medication should consult their doctor before undergoing the treatment.
Those with a history of keloid scarring may be at risk of developing further keloids.
Each session typically lasts about 20-30 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
There may be some discomfort, but topical anesthesia is applied before the procedure to minimize pain.
The number of sessions varies by individual needs but typically ranges from 3 to 6 sessions, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and mild sensitivity. More serious side effects are rare but can include infection if post-treatment care instructions are not followed.
Post-treatment care involves keeping the skin moisturized, avoiding direct sunlight, and using sunscreen. Specific skincare products may be recommended to enhance healing and results
