During an RF (radiofrequency) skin needling session, here's what you can generally expect:

1. Pre-Treatment Preparation: Before the procedure, your skin will be cleansed thoroughly. A topical numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort, and it usually takes about 30 minutes to become effective.
2. Treatment Sensation: Once the numbing cream has taken effect, the actual RF microneedling process begins. You might feel a mild prickling or tingling sensation as the microneedles penetrate the skin and the radiofrequency energy is delivered. Some people report a feeling of heat, but it should be manageable.
3. Duration: The procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and the specific concerns being addressed.
4. Post-Treatment Sensations: After the treatment, your skin may feel slightly sore or sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. You might experience some redness and swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours to a few days.

What to Expect:

• Redness & Swelling: Mild redness and swelling are normal, usually fading within a few hours to days.
• Discomfort: Some tenderness or a sunburn-like sensation may occur.
• Skin Sensitivity: Expect temporary dryness and sensitivity.

Aftercare Tips:

• Cleansing: Use a mild, non-exfoliating cleanser.
• Moisturise: Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturiser.
• Sun Protection: Avoid direct sun and use SPF 30+ sunscreen.
• No Makeup: Refrain from using makeup for 24-48 hours.
• Avoid Heat: Stay away from hot environments like saunas.
• Don’t Pick: Avoid touching or scratching the treated area.
• Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to support skin healing.

Monitor & Follow Up:

• Watch for Issues: Contact your practitioner if you notice excessive redness, swelling, or signs of infection.
• Follow-Up Appointments: Attend scheduled follow-ups to assess progress.
