What is Needleless Fractional Radio Frequency
Fractional needleless radiofrequency (RF) is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a handheld device to deliver radiofrequency energy to the skin without needles.
The treatment creates controlled thermal damage in the deep layers of the skin, triggering the body's natural healing response to produce new collagen and elastin.
This ultimately tightens the skin, smooths wrinkles, and improves overall texture.
How it works
- Fractional delivery: Unlike traditional RF, which heats the entire skin surface, fractional RF delivers energy in a matrix or dot pattern.
- This leaves small pockets of untreated skin between the heated zones, which accelerates the healing process and minimizes downtime.
- Needle-free application: The device uses a special tip with a grid of electrodes that transmits the RF energy through the surface of the skin.
- This method avoids the micro-punctures created by microneedling RF, resulting in a less invasive treatment with no risk of bleeding or infection.
- Dermal heating: The RF energy causes water molecules in the dermis (the middle layer of the skin) to oscillate and generate heat.
- This deep heating contracts existing collagen fibres and stimulates fibroblasts to produce new ones, leading to skin tightening and rejuvenation.
Who can do it?
It is a safe and effective option for all skin types, with reduced risks of complications like hyperpigmentation.
What concerns can be addressed?
Fractional needleless RF can be used on the face, neck, and body to address various skin concerns:
- Fine lines and wrinkles: Smooths the appearance of age-related creases.
- Skin laxity: Firms and tightens mild to moderate sagging skin.
- Uneven texture: Refines the skin's surface and reduces the size of enlarged pores.
- Scars and stretch marks: Improves the appearance of scars from acne, surgery, or trauma.
- Body contouring: Helps reduce localized fat deposits and improve the appearance of cellulite.
Key Points
Advantages over traditional RF and microneedling RF
- Minimal downtime: Because the top layer of skin is left intact and no needles are used, recovery is very fast. Some patients experience mild
- redness and swelling that subsides within a few hours.
- Reduced risks: The needle-free approach eliminates the risk of infection and scarring associated with treatments that break the skin.
- Safety for all skin types: Unlike lasers, RF energy is not dependent on chromophores (skin pigment), making it safe and effective for all skin tones,
- including darker skin, with a lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- Comfortable treatment: The procedure is well-tolerated, and a topical numbing cream can be used to minimize any potential discomfort.
What is the downtime?
Patients often experience minimal downtime, with most able to resume normal activities shortly after the treatment.
When can I see results?
Fractional needleless RF is most effective for individuals with early signs of aging who want to improve skin texture and firmness without significant downtime.
Those with more advanced skin sagging or severe scarring may require a more intensive treatment.
Conditions/ problems that cannot be treated:
It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women or for people with pacemakers or other metal implants.
How often should I do the treatment?
We recommend that you book your treatments every 4 weeks to maintain the results and to continue to see improvements in your skin.
