Radiofrequency Microneedling

Introduction

​

At TT Medical Clinic, we are proud to offer advanced radiofrequency (RF) microneedling with our state-of-the-art TriMax device. This treatment combines the collagen-boosting benefits of microneedling with the skin-tightening power of radiofrequency energy, making it a highly effective option for those seeking natural, long-lasting improvements in skin quality.

 

What is Radiofrequency Microneedling?

​

Radiofrequency microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny, ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin while delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis. This dual action stimulates your body’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen and elastin production to rejuvenate and strengthen the skin from within.

​

Considerations

​

Radiofrequency microneedling is safe when carried out in a medical clinic by qualified practitioners. However, as with all treatments, there are a few things to be aware of:

​

• Downtime: Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity for 24–72 hours is common.

• Aftercare: You’ll be advised to avoid makeup, heat, and vigorous exercise for a short period post-treatment.

• Treatment Plan: Best results are usually seen with a course of sessions, tailored to your individual needs.

• Safety: Rare complications such as prolonged redness, infection, or pigment changes are minimised by our strict clinical protocols.

​

How Does It Work? (The Science Made Simple)

​

Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin, which trigger your body’s natural repair mechanisms. When combined with radiofrequency energy, these channels allow heat to be delivered deep into the dermis. This energy contracts existing collagen fibres while stimulating fibroblasts to produce fresh collagen and elastin. Over time, this process remodels the skin’s structure, leading to tighter, smoother, and healthier-looking skin.

The Treatment Journey

​

Consultation:

Every treatment begins with a detailed consultation where we assess your skin concerns, medical history, and goals. Together, we create a personalised treatment plan.

​

During Treatment:

A numbing cream is applied for comfort. The TriMax device is then used across the chosen area. You may feel a warm, prickling sensation as the needles and radiofrequency work together. Sessions typically take 30-60 minutes depending on the area treated.

​

Aftercare:

Following treatment, the skin may appear red and feel warm, similar to mild sunburn. This usually subsides within a day or two. You’ll be provided with aftercare advice to support healing and enhance results.
