What Is Combination RF Micro-Needling?

This advanced treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen at deeper levels than microneedling alone. It’s commonly chosen for acne scarring, textural unevenness and early laxity.

At CULTSKIN, needle depth and RF energy are tailored to your skin thickness, concern severity and safety profile.

How Does It Work?

Micro-needles create controlled channels while RF energy delivers heat into the dermis, triggering collagen and elastin remodelling. Over a course, this can reduce scarring, refine pores and improve firmness.

RF Micro-Needling treatments are generally very safe for all skin types and tones; you can rest assured when being treated by our experienced CULTSKIN® Skin Specialists & CULTSKIN® Doctors that they’re regularly kept up-to-date on technologies, ensuring your treatment is as safe as possible!

RF Micro-Needling devices do involve targeted heat energy and micro-needles so, of course there are risks, as with many non-surgical treatments, but these will be thoroughly explained to you prior to treatment, precautions taken during treatment and aftercare instructions given post-treatment, minimising these risks as much as possible.

The treatment has amazing depth control and delivers heat energy directly into a precise target area. It can be safely used on all skin types because it does not use light-based energy (which lasers use), so it doesn’t affect melanin in the skin.

A course of 3-6 treatments deliver optimal results, officially approved by the FDA, however a difference will be noticed after the 1st one, only to improve, every 4 weeks. Before booking for RF Micro-Needling, we do recommend that you book a consultation with one of our CULTSKIN® Skin Specialists or CULTSKIN® Doctors to assess any Skin Conditions or previous Medical History, to ensure suitability.

RF Micro-Needling is a non-invasive treatment that targets a wide variety of skin concerns.

The micro-needles gently penetrate the skin – not enough to cause any damage, but enough to “trick” your body into thinking that damage is awry and in an attempt to heal, starts increasing production of proteins collagen and elastin in the treated area.  These micro-injuries are heightened with the introduction of RF technology, being directly administered to the second layer of the skin (the dermis) to effectively boost the impact of the treatment, by causing the collagen structures to tighten and, over time, to increase collagen production too. The needles used in the treatments are insulated, except for their tips, so that the RF (targeted heat) energy they dispense is delivered directly to the dermis, rather than dispersed into the more superficial layers that the needles are passing through, minimising downtime and lessening risks previously associated with either stand-alone treatments.

Using needles to create micro-channels of damage enables the skin to heal itself faster than you would expect, because between each of the channels of damage is a portion of untreated, undamaged skin. So the skin isn’t trying to heal the whole of itself at once.

Our EXION device is a breakthrough RF Micro-Needling technology that utilises AI pulse control and Monopolar Radio Frequency, all whilst achieving advanced comfort features whilst providing remarkable results.

But, as with any aesthetic treatment, the results will vary from one patient to another. To get the best results for yourself, make sure you’re following advice provided by your CULTSKIN® Skin Specialist or CULTSKIN® Doctors and sticking to your treatment plan.

We tried a few variations of RF Micro-Needling devices in the industry before taking on the EXION, as found these were the superior, in terms of balancing risk with reward, minimal downtime for our patients and the most-effective results.

The EXION has a built-in extended mode where thermal energy can reach up to 4mm deeper without full needle insertion, a ground-breaking reach of up to depths of 8mm, only requires a single-pass and boosts the skins’ Hyaluronic Acid production levels by 224%!
