RF Microneedling treatment
RF Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin for tighter skin and reduction of fine lines, scars and sun damage. Learn how this treatment can improve your skin.
What are the causes of skin aging?
Skin aging is a natural process that takes place as we age. An important cause is the decrease in collagen and elastin in the skin, two essential proteins that provide firmness and elasticity. As this production decreases, the skin loses its resilience and wrinkles, enlarged pores and skin sagging occur.
External factors can significantly accelerate this process. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation causes sun damage, leading to pigmentation, dehydration and further collagen breakdown. Smoking reduces blood circulation, causing the skin to receive less oxygen and nutrients, while stress increases free radicals that damage skin cells. Other influences, such as an unhealthy lifestyle or pollution, also contribute to premature skin aging.
RF Microneedling offers an innovative approach to effectively address these signs of aging. By stimulating the deeper layers of the skin with radio frequency energy and microneedles, the skin's natural repair process is activated. This promotes the production of new collagen and elastin, which visibly improves the skin structure. The result is firmer, smoother and more youthful skin. This treatment focuses on the causes of skin aging and offers an effective solution without a long recovery time.
How does RF Microneedling work?
RF Microneedling involves inserting micro-needles into the skin that deliver radiofrequency energy. This energy warms the skin in the deeper layers without damaging the top layer. This stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, which ensures skin tightening and improving skin texture. What's unique about RF Microneedling is that it treats both superficial and deep skin problems, from fine lines to scars and enlarged pores.
What does an RF Microneedling treatment look like at Doctor Frodo Clinic?
An RF Microneedling treatment at Clinic Doctor Frodo always starts with a personal consultation. Here, we discuss your skin problems and analyze your skin carefully. Together, we will determine whether this treatment best suits your needs and skin type.
Preparation:
The skin is first cleansed and prepared. We then apply an anesthetic cream to minimize any discomfort during the treatment.
The treatment:
- Microneedles: With an advanced device, we insert small, isolated needles into the skin. These create microscopic channels, which activate the skin's natural healing process.
- Radio frequency: Radio frequency energy is emitted via the needles. This heat reaches the deeper layers of the skin and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. This ensures a tighter and firmer skin.
- Absorption of active substances: Thanks to the microchannels, active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and retinol can penetrate deeper into the skin, making them more effective.
After treatment:
After treatment, your skin may be slightly red or swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. These side effects usually disappear within a few days. Full results are visible after a few weeks, when collagen production starts and your skin renews.
Aftercare:
- Give your skin a rest and do not actively cool it after the treatment.
- Use skin care products that are specifically tailored to your skin type, such as a hydrating serum or soothing cream.
- Protect your skin daily with SPF 50+ sunscreen to prevent pigmentation.
- Avoid exfoliating and using a tanning bed for one week after treatment.
With RF Microneedling, you can improve the texture and firmness of your skin in a natural way, for a radiant and youthful appearance. During an informal consultation, we are happy to discuss the options and draw up a personal treatment plan for you.
When to choose RF Microneedling?
The RF Microneedling treatment is ideal for people who suffer from:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Coarse-grained pores
- Acne and other scars
- Sun damage
- Dull, tired skin
- Sagging skin, for example under the chin
This treatment is suitable for those who want a natural improvement without surgery or extensive recovery time.
What is the difference between regular microneedling and RF microneedling?
The difference lies in how the skin is treated and the depth of action. In ordinary microneedling, the skin is improved by making small scratches in the epidermis (the epidermis), which activates the natural repair process. RF microneedling uses needles that stamp instead of scratching, so there is less damage to the epidermis and focuses on the dermis (the deeper layer of skin). This ensures more effective stimulation of collagen and elastin, with minimal superficial damage.
RF Microneedling vs. Other Treatments: Which Is Best For You?
With other treatments, such as lasers, chemical peels, or fillers, you can also improve your skin texture. Each treatment has unique benefits and works on specific skin problems. RF Microneedling is particularly effective for skin tightening and improving skin texture without invasive techniques. Whether you choose RF Microneedling or another treatment, it depends entirely on your skin type, the specific skin issues you want to address, and the desired result.

FAQ
FAQs
What is RF microneedling?
RF microneedling (radiofrequency microneedling) is an advanced skin-improving technique that combines the effect of microneedling with radio frequency waves. This treatment stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid and ensures skin tightening and improving skin texture at various depths in the skin.
How does RF microneedling work?
In RF microneedling, tiny microneedles make controlled holes in the skin while emitting radiofrequency heat. This heat stimulates the fibroblasts in the skin to produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. This makes the skin firmer, smoother and more hydrated
What is the difference between regular microneedling and RF microneedling?
Ordinary microneedling works superficially and makes small scratches in the epidermis, which activates the natural repair process. RF microneedling goes deeper, into the dermis, where it uses radiofrequency energy to improve skin at cellular level. This results in a more effective stimulation of collagen and elastin with minimal damage to the epidermis.
Is RF microneedling safe?
Yes, RF microneedling is a safe and proven effective treatment. At Clinic Doctor Frodo, the treatment is carried out by experienced specialists who use high-quality and advanced equipment.
