Mesotherapy, Microneedling & Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling: FAQs
Is RF microneedling better than microneedling?
​
Ultimately, RF microneedling is a more superior treatment compared to traditional microneedling. Whilst both have their respective benefits, RF combines the benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. This contributes to a greater level of skin tightening.
What does your face look like after microneedling?
​
Your face will be red and flushed similar to a moderate sunburn. The redness should be greatly reduced within 24-48 hours.
Can I see results after one traditional microneedling session?
​
Most people can start to see benefits after the first session, but for conditions such as scarring or pockmarking, you may need to get several sessions (up to 6). For anti-ageing and skin tightening, at least 3, preferably 6, sessions are recommended.
Is Microneedling painful?
​
The short answer is no, microneedling does not hurt. However, there may be some mild discomfort during the treatment depending on the individual's pain tolerance levels, skin sensitivity, and the depth of the needles used. Many people describe the sensation as simply a mild prickling or vibrating feeling.
What is Mesotherapy?
​
Mesotherapy provides volume, hydration, pharmaceuticals or vitamins & minerals to the skin or scalp to help it rejuvenate & repair itself, and reduces fine lines on your face. This is performed using a very small needle and is not a particularly uncomfortable process.
