Which specialist performs RF microneedling?

RF microneedling uses fine needles to deliver radiofrequency energy at selected depths within the skin. A cosmetic dermatologist assesses the treatment area, skin tone, acne or scar history, tendency to form raised scars, and any active infection before choosing a plan. The clinician controls needle depth, energy delivery, and the areas treated. A trained assistant may prepare the skin or provide aftercare, but medical assessment and device supervision should remain with an appropriately trained clinician.

Tell the clinic about active acne, eczema, cold sores, recent tanning, medicines, bleeding problems, pregnancy, and previous procedures. Ask which creams or exfoliants to pause and arrive with clean skin. After treatment, expect temporary redness or sensitivity and follow the recommended cleansing and moisturising routine. Protect the area from sunlight, avoid picking, and postpone irritating products until the skin barrier has recovered according to the clinic’s advice.

Contact the clinic if redness, warmth, swelling, pain, or crusting is worsening, or if the treated skin develops pus or spreading tenderness. Seek urgent care for facial swelling with breathing difficulty, severe eye symptoms, or a rapidly worsening reaction. A follow-up examination is useful if darkening, lightening, or textural changes persist after the expected healing period.

Ask which concern is being treated, why RF microneedling is suitable, what needle depth and energy approach are planned, and how your skin tone affects aftercare. Clarify who supervises the device, what healing usually looks like, and which warning signs require review.
