Your questions answered
Questions, answered.
How is it different from microneedling?
Conventional microneedling uses needles without adding radiofrequency heat. RF introduces an additional energy treatment and different risks.
Is it suitable for every skin type?
No universal assurance is appropriate. Suitability depends on assessment, the device, settings and your skin’s history.
What aftercare will I need?
You will receive instructions for skincare, sun exposure and activities, plus advice on symptoms that need assessment. Follow the plan specific to your treatment.
