Your full appointment, including consultation, preparation, and aftercare advice, typically lasts around 60 minutes

Most people begin to notice improvements after a few weeks, as the skin needs time to heal and produce new collagen. Results continue to improve over the following weeks and months, with the exact timeline varying from person to person.

Results vary from person to person and depend on your skin, your concerns, and the treatment recommended by your practitioner. While RF microneedling may be the right option for some people, others may benefit from a different or combined treatment. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin and explain the best treatment plan, how many sessions you may need, and how long your results are likely to last.
