What should you know about Lumenis RF microneedling?

The needles enter the skin to a planned depth, then deliver radiofrequency energy below the surface. This creates controlled heating alongside tiny needle channels, which can support collagen remodeling as the skin repairs. Treatment may be considered for texture, acne scars, fine lines, or selected laxity, but the settings must match the body area and concern.

Numbing cream is often discussed beforehand. Redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, tenderness, and a rough or grid-like appearance can occur temporarily. The procedure is not identical to ordinary Microneedling because it adds heat beneath the surface.

Tell the clinician about active acne, eczema, infection, cold sores, keloid scarring, medicines, and recent tanning. Arrive with clean skin and follow instructions about products that increase irritation. Afterward, use only the recommended gentle products, avoid picking, heat, intense exercise, and direct sun until advised, and apply sun protection. A Fractional RF Microneedling Device and RF Microneedling page can help explain the equipment and treatment category.

Contact the clinic if pain, swelling, warmth, or redness is worsening, or if you develop pus, spreading crusts, fever, blisters, or a new colour change that concerns you. Eye symptoms after facial treatment need urgent medical advice. Breathing trouble or rapidly increasing facial swelling is an emergency.
