DUAL-WAVE RF MICRONEEDLING
WHAT IS RF MICRONEEDLING SG?
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling Singapore is a treatment for the skin whereby ultra-fine needles are inserted into the skin to create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the natural healing processes of the skin. This is augmented with the application of heat via radiofrequency conduction, which further triggers collagen repair and remodelling, firming and tightening of the skin, as well as regulation of blood vessels within.
Fully FDA-approved, the microneedling and radio frequency technology utilises gold micro needles radio frequency to penetrate the skin and two proprietary RF modes (pulsed wave and continuous wave) to precisely apply heat in the target layers within.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
MICRONEEDLING AND RADIO FREQUENCY TRIGGER SKIN REPAIR
Fully FDA-approved, the microneedling with radiofrequency technology utilises gold micro needles radio frequency to penetrate the skin and two proprietary RF modes (pulsed wave and continuous wave) to precisely apply heat in the target layers within. Pulsed wave is best used when treating pigment and redness, while continuous wave is ideal for scarring and skin tightening. The depth of microneedling and radio frequency intensity of the RF application can also be further adjusted as appropriate. This allows us to tailor the microneedling with radiofrequency treatment according to the desired benefits and the underlying skin condition, optimising results and minimising the risk of side effects.

WHAT TO EXPECT?
PRE TREATMENT
A numbing cream will be applied prior to micro needle radio frequency treatment to minimise any potential discomfort. There can be a pulling or tingling sensation every time energy is delivered, which will vary according to the depth of tissue and area of the face being treated.
RF microneedling is very well tolerated by almost all patients, regardless of age, gender, and skin type. The sensation is usually described as comfortable with light pressure and a tingling or prickly sensation on the skin. There is usually little to no pain experienced. Numbing cream is also applied prior to treatment to minimise any potential discomfort.
DURING TREATMENT
The treatment itself involves using the microneedling with radiofrequency handpiece in a sequential stamping fashion over the entire face. Depending on the skin condition and the treatment scope this may involve multiple passes, especially over areas of concern, when indicated. There is minimal or no bleeding or needle marks due to the very fine needles used as well as the coagulative effect of the RF application.
POST TREATMENT
Immediately after the microneedling with radiofrequency treatment, there may be localised redness or swelling over treated areas. This is normal and usually subsides within minutes to hours. A topical cream is usually prescribed to help soothe the skin in the days following. It is also recommended to use sun protection and to avoid prolonged sun exposure as well as to avoid using any potentially harsh products on the skin for at least a few days.
