Everything You Need to Know About Radio Frequency Micro Needling

What is Radio Frequency (RF) Micro Needling?

At GVSL, our Tri Lift Machine by Lumenis allows us to perform stand-alone treatments using RF Micro Needling. This treatment is used for skin rejuvenation and has minimal downtime.

RF Micro Needling is a minimally invasive treatment that combines tiny needles and radiofrequency waves to rejuvenate the skin. It is a form of controlled skin injury, that works by creating micro-injuries to stimulates the growth of healthy new skin.  This can benefit many common skin issues and concerns.

Key Benefits of RF Micro Needling

  • Increases natural skin volume for a youthful appearance
  • Tightens the skin and improves firmness
  • Enhances skin texture for a smoother complexion
  • Stimulates up to 3x more natural hyaluronic acid production

How Does RF Micro Needling Work?

RF Micro Needling uses a handheld device that has a small stamp with tiny needles that pierce the skin. As the needles penetrate the skin, they release radio frequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin, creating ‘thermal zones’ that promote healing and skin rejuvenation. The stamp attachment is single use and disposable so you can be assured the tiny needles piercing your skin are completely safe and sterile.
