RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency microneedling uses small needles to deliver radiofrequency energy into the skin. At MoleSpot, a consultation is required to assess whether it is appropriate for your skin concerns and individual circumstances.
What can I discuss at a consultation?
You can discuss concerns such as acne scarring, skin texture and wrinkles. Your doctor will assess the area and explain whether RF microneedling, another approach or no treatment is appropriate. Improvement varies and a particular result cannot be guaranteed.
Assessment and preparation
Tell your doctor about your medicines, medical conditions, previous procedures, any active skin infection and any history of scarring or pigmentation changes. Your doctor will explain the proposed treatment, alternatives, costs and any preparation needed. Do not stop prescribed medicines without advice from the clinician responsible for them.
What happens during treatment?
The treatment area, settings and comfort measures are tailored to the individual plan. Your clinician will explain the procedure and the expected sensations before you consent. The number and spacing of sessions depend on your circumstances and response; a fixed course is not appropriate for everyone.
Recovery and possible risks
Redness, swelling, tenderness and pinpoint bleeding can occur. Recovery varies with the area, settings and your skin. Possible complications include infection, burns, pigment changes and scarring. Serious complications, including unwanted fat loss and nerve injury, have been reported with some uses of RF microneedling devices.
Your doctor will discuss the risks relevant to the proposed procedure and provide aftercare and follow-up advice. Seek advice promptly if you develop unexpected or worsening symptoms. RF microneedling is a medical procedure and is not suitable for every patient.
