What is RF microneedling?
RF microneedling is a skin treatment that uses a handpiece of very fine, insulated needles. The needles create tiny channels in the skin and release radiofrequency energy at a chosen depth. The heat and micro-injury together trigger the skin's healing response, producing new collagen and elastin that firm and smooth the skin over the following weeks.
Because the energy is delivered beneath the surface, RF microneedling can treat deeper scars and pores with less surface damage than strong lasers, so it is often suitable for a wider range of skin types. At Egg Clinic it is commonly performed with Potenza, which can also be combined with boosters such as exosomes or Juvelook during the same session.
Who is a good candidate?
- Acne scars and uneven texture
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines and mild skin laxity
- Dull or ageing skin needing renewal
- People who want resurfacing with shorter downtime
RF microneedling should be postponed with active, inflamed acne or skin infection, during pregnancy, or soon after isotretinoin. Tell the doctor if you have a pacemaker or metal implants in the face, a tendency to keloid scarring, or frequent cold sores, as preventive steps may be needed. For deep scars the doctor may combine it with fractional CO2 laser or subcision.

Before & after at Egg Clinic

What are the results and recovery like?
After treatment the skin is usually red and warm, sometimes with tiny grid marks or mild swelling. This typically settles within one to three days, and most people can wear makeup after a day or two. Skin may feel smoother within a week, but collagen remodelling takes time, so scars and pores improve gradually over one to three months. A course of three to four sessions about a month apart is usually recommended, and results vary with your skin.
