Microneedling RF
Microneedling RF for Acne Scars
RF Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production within the skin, helping to improve texture and tone. It can also reduce the appearance of acne scars by effectively diminishing the skin’s “memory” of past blemishes, promoting a smoother, more even complexion.

Frequently Asked Question
Microneedling RF (Radiofrequency) is a skin treatment that combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy to treat acne scars. Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, while RF energy is delivered to deeper skin layers. This stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother and more even skin texture.
The microneedles break down scar tissue and trigger the body’s natural healing process. The RF energy boosts collagen and elastin production in the deeper layers of the skin, which helps to fill in and smooth out acne scars, making them less visible over time.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. A numbing cream is applied before the treatment to ensure comfort. You may feel a mild warming sensation from the RF energy, but overall, the procedure is generally well-tolerated.
Typically, 3-6 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart are recommended for significant improvement in acne scars. However, the number of sessions may vary depending on the severity of the scars and the individual’s skin response.
Common side effects include redness, slight swelling, and skin sensitivity immediately after the procedure. These effects typically subside within a day or two. Rare side effects may include temporary hyperpigmentation or prolonged redness, but these are uncommon.
A typical session lasts around 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and the severity of the scars. The procedure is relatively quick and requires little downtime.
