Tighten, lift and renew.

How RF microneedling works

RF microneedling, sometimes called radiofrequency microneedling or RF skin tightening, uses a handpiece fitted with very fine needles. As the needles create tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin, radiofrequency energy is delivered through them to warm the deeper layers. This combination triggers the skin’s natural healing response, encouraging new collagen and elastin for firmer, smoother skin.

What RF microneedling can help with

RF microneedling in Lymm can be tailored to many concerns: skin laxity and loss of definition along the jawline, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, stretch marks, pigmentation and uneven texture, enlarged pores, and hyperhidrosis. Because it’s suitable for the body as well as the face, it’s a popular choice for tightening crepey skin on the neck, chest and abdomen.

RF microneedling or microneedling?

Traditional microneedling works on the surface layers of the skin to improve texture and glow. RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy, which reaches deeper and gives a greater tightening and lifting effect. Teresa will recommend the right option for your skin at your consultation.

Your consultation

Every treatment starts with a consultation with Teresa, a Registered Nurse Prescriber. She’ll assess your skin, talk through your goals and medical history, and explain how many sessions are likely to give the best results and what they will cost.

Aftercare

For beautiful results, please follow the aftercare advice below.

First 24 hours

• Do not touch, rub or massage the treated areas unnecessarily.
• Avoid make-up over the injection sites for 12–24 hours where possible.
• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Gentle everyday activity is fine.
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours, as this may increase the likelihood of bruising.
• Avoid excessive heat, including saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, very hot showers and sunbathing, for 24–48 hours.
• Avoid sunbeds/tanning following treatment. Published aftercare guidance specifically advises avoiding tanning and heat exposure during the immediate post-treatment period.
• Avoid applying significant pressure to the treated area, including tight headwear where relevant.
• Treat your skin gently when cleansing and avoid aggressive rubbing.

What to expect

Small areas of redness, mild swelling, tenderness or pinpoint bruising can occur following treatment and are usually temporary.

Results develop gradually rather than immediately. One UK aftercare guide advises that effects commonly begin within 3–5 days, with the fuller effect developing at around 10–14 days.

Your review

If a review has been arranged, this is commonly undertaken at around two weeks, when the treatment result can be appropriately assessed.

If you experience anything unexpected or have concerns following treatment, please contact the clinic for advice.
