MICRONEEDLING SKINPEN
$350.00
Unit price perRevolutionary skin tightening and rejuvenation, utilising a combination of radiofrequency and percutaneous needling to induce collagen production, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
The most common treatment areas include the face, neck, and decolletage, but the RF microneedling handpiece can also be used on the abdomen, knees, thighs, and almost any other body area.
RF microneedling works by creating controlled microdamage from both the ultra-fine needles and heat. This stimulates the body’s natural wound-healing response, kick-starting the biological processes that create new collagen and elastin.

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