What is RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling (MNRF) is a minimally invasive technique that combines the traditional microneedling procedure effectively with the element of radio frequency energy to rejuvenate the appearance of your skin. The RF pulse carried through fractional technique deep into the dermis enhances skin tightening and reduces acne scars by stimulating the synthesis of both collagen and elastin.
