FAQ Microneedle Fractional Radiofrequency Skin Tightening Treatments for Face and Body

What Is Microneedle Fractional Radiofrequency Non-surgical Skin Tightening Treatment?

Non-surgical Skin Tightening with Microneedle Fractional RF Microneedle Fractional Radiofrequency (MFR) works from inside out by delivering fractional radiofrequency into the deeper dermis for tighter, lifted face and neck and improvement in deep wrinkles and scars. Minimal discomfort and minimal downtime. Three treatments, 3-4 weeks apart are recommended for best results.

How Does MFR work For Non-surgical Skin Tightening And Scar Reduction?

The Microneedle Fractional Radiofrequency (MFR) or injectable fractional radiofrequency treatment, delivers radio frequency energy via microneedles below the skin surface in multiple minuscule beams leading to “fractional” heat zones, leaving the normal tissue in between the heated zones for shorter recovery time. This treatment helps generate collagen in two ways; The microneedles cause mico-injuries in the deeper dermis which your body heals with collagen production. The fractional radiofrequency heats up the deeper dermis in 360 degrees around each microneedle tip for further collagen tightening and synthesis. Our injectable RF system uses gold plated and insulated needles for minimum injury to the skin surface for little or no downtime.
