Microneedling Radiofrequency is an advanced treatment for melasma, diffuse redness, rosacea, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It is also effective in reducing fine lines and enlarged pores, brightening the complexion, and rejuvenating the skin in general.
How Microneedling Radiofrequency Works
Developed in Silicon Valley, the device delivers a therapeutic electromagnetic field through an array of micro-insulated needles that penetrate the dermis at adjustable depths. This microneedling process stimulates the body’s natural healing cascade, triggering the production of collagen and elastin. Simultaneously, pulsed radiofrequency energy selectively targets the basement membrane zone, an area where abnormal blood vessels and pigment-producing cells are often concentrated.
In addition, the innovative SR3 (Selective Regional Regeneration Radio Repeated Pulse) technology enables precise targeting of abnormal pigmentation and vascular structures without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. This promotes melanin regulation, vascular normalisation, and collagen remodelling for clearer, healthier skin.
Many individuals have a compromised basement membrance due to sun exposure and intrinsic ageing. Remodelling this very layer between the epidermis and dermis prevents the migration of pigment cells to the deeper dermal layer. The treatment targets the root causes of melasma by regulating hyperactive melanocytes (pigment cells), strengthening damaged basement membrane, removing abnormal blood vessels in the skin, and increasing collagen and young fibroblast production.
You may observe some lightening and a smoother skin texture after the first session. Full results are usually observed after 5 sessions, the treatment sessions are performed once every 3 weeks.
The treatment is virtually painless with numbing cream.
Immediately following the treatment, there may be some mild redness and swelling which typically resolves within an hour.
Most patients are able to resume activities immediately post-treatment.
This is a revolutionary new treatment that represents the latest advancement in non-surgical skin tightening and lifting. The next-generation procedure employs dual-frequency monopolar radiofrequency technology, operating at 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz.
Unlike traditional single frequency systems, this innovative dual frequency approach allows for precise and controlled heating across three distinct tissue depths: shallow, middle, and deep.
This multi-depth targeting enables effective stimulation of both the superficial dermis and deeper subcutaneous fat layers, enhancing treatment outcomes and customisation based on individual needs.
The result is a powerful and targeted treatment that stimulates collagen remodelling, enhances skin elasticity, and promotes a visibly firmer, more contoured appearance. It is an ideal solution for those seeking a smoother, lifted, and more youthful look without the need for invasive procedures or downtime.
This dual-frequency monopolar system is a relatively new development in energy-based skin rejuvenation. Unlike traditional single-frequency devices, it enables layer-by-layer heating for more comprehensive and consistent tightening effects. Recent clinical histological studies confirm its enhanced capacity to remodel dermal and subdermal tissue in a controlled and safe manner.
This device uses two separate frequencies, 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz, to treat both superficial collagen and deeper fat/fascial structures. It penetrates deeper than bipolar or single-frequency systems, and treats broader areas evenly.
Generally, the treatment is comfortable. Passive cooling and impedance feedback reduce discomfort, typically resulting in just a warm sensation. Most individuals report little to no pain.
We recommend a treatment session every four to six months. Many individuals notice an immediate lifting effect, with fuller collagen benefits developing gradually over four to eight weeks.
You may observe an immediate tightening effect post-treatment, thanks to collagen contraction. Full results emerge over several weeks as collagen and elastin regenerate.
Minimal. You can expect mild redness or warmth in treated zones, dissipating within hours. No special aftercare required.
The system is versatile, suitable for the face, neck, and décolletage.
Depth–adjustable tips allow custom targeting of specific contours.
Suggested maintenance is once every 4 to 6 months to preserve lift and elasticity.
Dual frequency monopolar radiofrequency is often combined with high intensity focused ultrasound and bio-remodelling hyaluronic acid to lift and tighten different layers of the skin. This layered approach enhances overall results by targeting both deep structural support and more superficial skin quality, promoting firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) uses focused ultrasound energy to target the superficial and deeper layers of the skin, including the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) layer. By precisely delivering heat to these depths, HIFU stimulates new collagen formation, leading to firmer, lifted, and more tightened skin over time. It is commonly used on areas such as the face, jawline, and neck, offering a non-invasive treatment for natural-looking skin rejuvenation with no downtime.
HIFU can improve the following conditions:
A typical treatment program is made up of four initial sessions, with a session done once every three months. Thereafter, one session every four to six months is recommended for maintenance.
HIFU is usually combined with BBL or injectable bio-remodelling HA for better rejuvenation results.
Local Dynamic Micro-Massage (LDM) is a non-invasive treatment that addresses skin concerns in both the epidermis and dermis. It utilises dual-frequency ultrasound technology at high frequencies to deliver a powerful micro-massage effect to the skin’s tissue structures. This dynamic stimulation activates fibroblasts, rejuvenates the skin matrix and connective tissue, enhances collagen cross-linking, and promotes healing at a cellular level. LDM is effective for a wide range of dermatological conditions and aesthetic concerns, improving overall skin health without downtime.
1. Reduces “bad enzymes” Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPS)
MMPs contribute to inflammation and the breakdown of collagen. They are also implicated in metabolic disorders of the connective tissue, which can lead to conditions such as acne, eczema, and dermatitis. By inhibiting MMPs, LDM helps restore the skin’s normal collagen metabolism and reduces inflammatory responses.
2. Activates HSPs (heat shock proteins)
HSPs play a vital role in skin immunity and resilience. They are produced in response to environmental stressors such as UV radiation and extreme temperatures, and support the skin’s ability to repair and protect itself under stress.
3. Increase GAGs (glycosaminoglycans)
GAGs enhance cell metabolism and boost hyaluronic acid content in the skin. By increasing tissue turgor, they improve skin texture, tone, and reinforce the skin barrier—resulting in a plumper, more hydrated appearance.
Skin Ageing and Laxity
Fine lines, wrinkles, prominent nasolabial folds and marionette lines, skin rejuvenation and firming, body firming and toning.
Treatment of Chronic Skin Conditions
Dryness, acne, rosacea, flushing.
Scar Regeneration & Wound Healing
Hypertrophic scars, stretch marks, bruises.
Most ultrasound systems use a single frequency, typically in the range of 1 to a maximum of 5 MHz, the therapeutic effect is thus far below the superficial skin layers. LDM uses a special frequency of 10 MHz other than 1 and 3MHz, which allows the energy to work effectively on the epidermis and dermis, where disease processes take place. In addition, the system switches and combines frequencies at timed intervals, ensuing better dynamic pressure distribution in the tissue over several skin layers.
After cleansing the skin, a layer of gel is applied to the treatment area. An ultrasound probe is then gently glided over the targeted region. The procedure is comfortable, with no pain or downtime.
The treatment ranges from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the indication or condition.
While improvement may be observed after just one session, for optimal and full results, LDM should be performed once every week or fortnight for the first six weeks. Maintenance sessions are recommended once every month to two months.
Dermatological conditions such as eczema or psoriasis may need up to eight treatments and in more complex and severe cases, ten to sixteen sessions.
Although LDM is a great treatment on its own, results are augmented when combined with other medical facial services, energy-based devices or injectables. In fact, it helps shorten procedural downtime by reducing inflammation, and increasing cell regeneration and metabolism.
Yes, LDM is suitable and safe for all skin types and colour.
SkinTyte® utilises infrared technology to deeply heat dermal collagen. This process promotes partial denaturation and contraction of collagen. The heat also initiates the body’s natural healing process, which creates a renewed collagen foundation leading to increased skin firmness. Powerful sapphire cooling protects the entire treated surface during treatment, ensuring comfort and safety.
SkinTyte®can be applied to both the face and body including the abdomen, thighs, arms, buttocks, and lower back.
SkinTyte® can improve the following conditions:
At least 5 sessions, with a session done once every 3 weeks. For maintenance, every 2 months.
SkinTyte® is usually combined with BBL® to boost overall rejuvenation.
