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.
