What Is Radio Frqurncy Microneedling?
RF Microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture and promote firmer, smoother-looking skin.
By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, this treatment helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring and skin laxity, supporting natural-looking improvements in skin quality.
At Derma Clinic Clare, we focus on personalised treatments that enhance your skin's natural appearance, embracing our philosophy of Gentle Ageing.
What Can RF Microneedling Treat?
RF Microneedling can help improve a range of common skin concerns, including:
-
Fine Lines & Wrinkles – Softens the appearance of early signs of ageing.
-
Skin Laxity – Helps improve skin firmness and elasticity.
-
Acne Scarring – Reduces the appearance of certain depressed acne scars.
-
Enlarged Pores – Helps refine the appearance of pores.
-
Uneven Skin Texture – Promotes smoother, more refined-looking skin.
-
Stretch Marks & Scarring – May improve the appearance of selected scars and stretch marks.
How Does RF Microneedling Work?
RF Microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled microchannels within the skin while delivering radiofrequency energy into targeted tissue.
The combination of microneedling and controlled heat stimulates the skin's natural healing response, encouraging new collagen and elastin production.
Over time, this process helps improve skin firmness, texture and overall appearance, with results developing gradually as the skin remodels.

What Happens During Treatment?
Consultation
We begin with a consultation to assess your skin, discuss your concerns and determine whether RF Microneedling is suitable for you.
Treatment
Your skin is cleansed and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort. The RF Microneedling device is then passed across the treatment area, delivering controlled radiofrequency energy through fine needles.
Aftercare
Following treatment, the skin may appear red, warm or slightly swollen. These effects usually improve over the following few days.
You will receive personalised aftercare advice to support healing and recovery.
Results & Treatment Courses
RF Microneedling stimulates gradual improvements in skin quality, with results developing over several weeks as new collagen forms.
A course of approximately 3 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, is commonly recommended, although this will depend on your individual skin concerns and treatment plan.
Improvements may continue for several months following treatment, and maintenance sessions may help support longer-term results.
Individual results vary.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Is RF Microneedling painful?
A: A topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment to improve comfort. You may experience some warmth, pressure or a mild prickling sensation during the procedure.
Q: Is there downtime?
A: Most clients experience some redness, warmth and mild swelling following treatment, which typically improves within 24–72 hours. Recovery may take longer depending on treatment intensity and individual skin response.
Q: When will i see results?
A: Some improvements in skin texture may be noticeable within a few weeks. As collagen production and remodelling take time, improvements in skin firmness and overall appearance can continue developing over several months.
Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: A course of approximately three treatments, usually spaced 4–6 weeks apart, is commonly recommended. Additional sessions may be beneficial depending on your skin concerns and desired results.
Q: How long do the results last?
A: Results vary depending on your skin condition, age, lifestyle and natural ageing process. Improvements can last for several months or longer, and maintenance treatments may be recommended to help preserve results.
Q: Is it suitable for everyone?
A: RF Microneedling is suitable for many skin types, but not everyone. Certain medical conditions, medications, active skin infections or implanted electronic devices may make treatment unsuitable. Potential risks include burns, pigmentation changes, scarring and unwanted changes in facial contour. A consultation is required to assess suitability and discuss the benefits and risks before treatment.
Q: How should I prepare for my RF Microneedling treatment?
A: To help prepare your skin and minimise the risk of irritation, we recommend the following:
-
5–7 days before: Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids (such as glycolic and salicylic acid), and other potentially irritating skincare products.
-
1–2 weeks before: Avoid excessive sun exposure, sunbeds and tanning products.
-
Before your appointment: Inform us of any recent aesthetic treatments, changes to medication, active skin infections or cold sores.
-
On the day: Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup, moisturisers and other skincare products where possible.
Please avoid booking treatment if your skin is sunburnt, irritated or you have an active infection in the treatment area.
We will assess your skin before treatment and provide any additional preparation advice specific to your needs.
