RF microneedling for acne scars and loose skin
Radiofrequency microneedling rebuilds skin from underneath. It is one of the most effective non-surgical options for rolling and boxcar acne scars, stretch marks, crepey skin and early laxity, and it is safe across a wider range of skin tones than many lasers.
How it works
Fine insulated needles enter the skin to a set depth and release radiofrequency energy at the tips. That heats the deeper layer while mostly sparing the surface. The skin responds to the tiny channels and the heat by laying down new collagen and elastin, which gradually firms the skin and lifts scar depressions.
What a course of treatment looks like
Three to four sessions, four to six weeks apart. Collagen takes time to form, so results keep improving for up to six months after the last session.
