Is Fractional RF right for me?

  • For acne scars, open pores, mild laxity of the face and neck, fine lines, stretch marks and crepey skin.
  • Thirty to forty-five minutes with numbing; pink for one to two days.
  • Texture improves after each session; tightening and scar remodelling build over three to four sessions.
Overview

Remodel, without the downtime.

Fractional radiofrequency delivers heat into the skin in a grid of tiny columns, leaving the skin between them untouched so healing is fast. The heat remodels collagen in the dermis, tightening loose skin, softening acne scars, shrinking pores and smoothing fine lines, with far less downtime than ablative laser and far less pigmentation risk on brown skin.

The clinic uses fractional RF through microneedle and surface handpieces for the face, neck, eyelids and body: acne scars, open pores, laxity of the jawline and neck, stretch marks and crepey skin. Three to four sessions, a month apart, with pinkness for a day or two.

Questions patients ask

Fractional RF, answered.

Straight answers from the clinic. If your question is not here, ask on WhatsApp.

Yes. Radiofrequency does not target pigment, so the risk of darkening is much lower than with many lasers.

Thirty to forty-five minutes including numbing.

Pinkness for one to two days.

Smoother texture within weeks; scars and tightening improve over the course.

Three to four, a month apart.

A warm prickling, made comfortable by numbing cream.

CO2 is stronger per session but needs a week of downtime and care on brown skin; fractional RF is gentler and repeatable. The consultation decides.

Pricing is per session. The clinic shares the exact fee at the consultation. Ask on WhatsApp for current pricing.
