RADIO FREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING
Scar reduction and collagen stimulation using advanced technology
WHAT IS RADIO FREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING?
Radio Frequency Microneedling, also known as RF Microneedling, is an advanced cutting-edge treatment that combines Radio Frequency and Microneedling to effectively treat a number of skin concerns. The treatment is a skin rejuvenation process that stimulates the body’s natural healing response to encourage collagen production in the dermis resulting in rejuvenated and tightened skin. This advanced treatment is perfect for treating loose and sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage and pigmentation, pitted skin and acne scarring, plus stretch marks. The treatment can be taken to treat various areas of the face or body.
HOW DOES RADIO FREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING WORK?
The 3D Dermaforce has fine, sterile needles that create tiny punctures, or micro-injuries, in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural healing process. The micro-injuries prompt the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, two proteins that are crucial for skin elasticity and firmness. This leads to a gradual improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. As the needles penetrate the skin, they deliver radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin (dermis). The energy heats the tissue, which enhances the tightening effect and further stimulates collagen production. The RF energy causes controlled heating of the dermal layer, which encourages collagen remodeling without damaging the outer layer of the skin.
The combination of microneedling and RF energy results in both superficial and deep skin rejuvenation. The microneedling helps with texture and surface irregularities, while the RF energy provides a deeper tightening effect by stimulating collagen and elastin in the deeper layers.
RF Microneedling can effectively improve skin problems such as lines and wrinkles, prematurely aged skin, pitted and uneven skin texture, large pores and pigmentation. Delivering the radio frequency into the deep dermis will have a destructive effect on the Propionibacterium acnes and give an anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effect. It can also effectively inhibit the secretion of sebum from the sebaceous glands and help prevent the recurrence of congestion within the skin.
WHAT CAN RF MICRONEEDLING TREAT?
PITTED SKIN/ ACNE SCARRING

SUN DAMAGE/ PIGMENTATION
FINE LINES AND WRINKLES
LET'S TALK SCIENCE
The Dermaforce technology uses Bi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF) delivered directly into the skin at the end point of the needles. Bipolar RF utilises symmetric and closely placed electrodes (needles) to pass the radio frequency current through a exact targetted depth of tissue. This delivers a very controlled emission of Radio Frequency, targeting specific areas of tissue.
The Dermaforce tip houses gold plated microneedles measuring 0.12mm in diameter. Radio Frequency is delivered at 1Mhz and used to precisely target tissues at different depths into the skin. The Radio Frequency heats the collagen fibers in the dermis to 55℃-65℃. This damage stimulates a fibroblast action (fibroblasts are the connective tissue cells that produce collagen and elastin) which results in the production of new collagen and an increase in the diameter of the collagen fibres.
STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY
The Dermaforce Radio Frequency Microneedling machine delivers a controlled insertion of needles into the skin at 7 different depths. The hand piece is equipped with a vacuum. Only when the skin and the tip are in full contact will the needles insert into the skin and deliver the Radio Frequency energy to the dermis. This makes the treatment much less painful that other devices. The super fine gold plated needles not only make the treatment more comfortable but it also means that it is suitable for anyone with metal allergies.
During treatment, the radio frequency energy is delivered through the gold plated insulated needles allowing precise delivery to the dermis. This protects the Epidermal layers from thermal damage, preventing heat related pigmentation issues. This reduces the chance of aggressive side effects such as scabbing.
The technology from 3D Aesthetics is second to none and it is no coincidence that they are the market leaders in the UK for advanced treatment devices.
THE FACIAL EXPERIENCE
This ultimate facial and skin treatment is suitable for most skin types, requires minimum down-time, and will give instant results. Using advanced technology we can kick start the healing process to stimulate collagen and elastin.
DOUBLE CLEANSE
A thorough cleanse using a gentle cleanser and toner, leaving your skin squeaky clean and ready for treatment.
ANAESTHETIC APPLICATION
A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area to numb the surface of the skin for a comfortable treatment.
RF MICRONEEDLING FIRST PASS
The anaesthetic is thoroughly removed ready for the first treatment pass. Your therapist will choose the needle depth and Radio Frequency heat depending on your skin concerns.
RF MICRONEEDLING SECOND PASS
Your therapist may adjust the needle depth and Radio Frequency heat to target specific skin concerns.
COLLAGEN MASK OR LED LIGHT THERAPY
Your therapist will choose either a collagen mask or LED Light therapy to reduce redness and promote healing.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
A soothing serum is applied followed by an SPF, leaving your skin smooth and glowing.
