Novomed provides RF Microneedling treatment in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, including Morpheus8 RF Microneedling, as part of its advanced skin rejuvenation and skin-tightening services. The treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen remodeling and improve skin firmness, texture, and overall appearance.
What Is RF Microneedling?
Radiofrequency Microneedling (RF Microneedling) is a minimally invasive treatment that combines traditional microneedling with controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy. Fine needles penetrate the skin to deliver RF energy at selected depths, creating controlled thermal stimulation in the deeper layers of the skin. This process helps stimulate collagen remodeling and can improve skin laxity, fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture.
Unlike conventional microneedling, which relies primarily on controlled micro-injuries, RF microneedling adds targeted heat energy beneath the skin’s surface.
Types of Radiofrequency Microneedling
RF microneedling is a treatment category that includes several different devices. The main types you may encounter include:
- Morpheus8: Uses microneedling combined with RF energy and is commonly used for skin tightening, wrinkles, acne scars, skin texture, and facial contouring. Novomed offers Morpheus technology.
- Secret RF: Uses gold-plated microneedles to deliver RF energy into the dermis. It can be used for skin tightening, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and stretch marks. Novomed offers Secret RF in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain.
- Potenza: A versatile RF microneedling platform that can use different RF modes and needle configurations for concerns including wrinkles, acne scars, skin laxity, and sun damage.
- Genius RF: Uses adjustable needle depth and RF energy delivery and is designed for controlled treatment of concerns such as skin laxity, wrinkles, and scarring.
- Vivace: Combines fractional RF microneedling with LED technology and is another option for skin rejuvenation and collagen stimulation.
Who Needs Radiofrequency Microneedling?
RF Microneedling may be suitable for adults who want to improve skin texture, firmness, and signs of aging without surgery. It may benefit people experiencing:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity or loss of firmness.
- Fine lines and wrinkles.
- Acne scars and certain other types of scars.
- Enlarged pores and uneven skin texture.
- Rough or uneven-looking skin.
- Sun-damaged or aged skin.
- Mild loss of facial definition.
- Stretch marks on selected areas of the body.
- A desire to stimulate collagen production and improve overall skin quality.
RF Microneedling can be used on areas such as the face, neck, décolletage, and selected body areas, depending on the device and treatment plan.
RF Microneedling Procedure
The RF Microneedling procedure combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to create controlled micro-injuries and deliver heat into targeted layers of the skin. This stimulates collagen remodeling and can improve skin firmness, texture, fine lines, and acne scars.
The procedure typically includes:
- Consultation and skin assessment – The doctor evaluates your skin, concerns, and treatment goals and selects the appropriate device and settings.
- Skin cleansing – The treatment area is thoroughly cleaned and prepared.
- Numbing – A topical anesthetic cream is usually applied to improve comfort.
- RF Microneedling treatment – Fine needles penetrate the skin at controlled depths while delivering RF energy into the deeper layers.
- Soothing the skin – A cooling or soothing product may be applied after treatment to help reduce temporary redness and warmth.
- Aftercare – The doctor provides instructions for skincare, sun protection, and recovery.
A session generally takes around 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and device. Mild redness, swelling, or pinpoint bleeding can occur temporarily, and most patients experience relatively little downtime.
For Novomed specifically, Secret RF is one of the RF microneedling technologies available, using gold-plated microneedles to deliver RF energy into the dermis.
