What is Radiofrequency Microneedling?
Radiofrequency microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles to create small punctures in the skin, along with delivering radiofrequency energy to promote collagen production. This process helps to improve skin texture and firmness, reduce wrinkles, and minimize scarring. The combination of microneedling and radiofrequency results in tighter, smoother skin with a more youthful appearance.
