You know that moment when you catch your reflection in the mirror and think, “When did my skin start looking so tired?” Fine lines, uneven texture, and old acne scars have a sneaky way of creeping up.
Fractional RF (radiofrequency) therapy offers a gentle, non-surgical way to rejuvenate your skin. It not only tightens your skin but also addresses a skin texture, pigmentation and a range of skin concerns. Here’s how it works and how it can benefit you.
Fractional RF treatment focuses on targeted resurfacing and deep skin remodelling. This minimally invasive procedure combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to stimulate comprehensive renewal from within.
During treatment, ultra-fine needles create micro-injuries on the surface while RF energy penetrates deeply into the dermis. This dual action activates collagen and elastin production, jumpstarting your body’s natural repair processes to tighten, firm, and rejuvenate the skin.
Unlike lasers that focus primarily on the surface, fractional RF works below it, making it safe for various skin tones and concerns, with minimal risk of pigmentation issues.
Fractional RF treatment helps soften fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity, especially around the eyes, mouth, and jawline. The result is a tighter complexion without looking “overdone.”
Fractional RF can help remodel damaged tissue such as acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. This makes scars appear softer, flatter, and less noticeable over time.
Enlarged pores, rough patches, and dullness can make skin appear older or tired. Fractional RF resurfaces the skin to refine pores so skin appears polished.
While not a primary pigmentation treatment, fractional RF can help with mild pigmentation issues, such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and sunspots, by improving skin turnover and promoting an even skin tone.
Fractional RF also targets overactive sebaceous (oil) glands, making it effective for patients with oily or acne-prone skin. By reducing oil production and improving inflammation, it helps to minimise active acne breakouts and prevent future congestion.
Here’s how fractional RF differs from traditional RF:
