The Benefits of Combining RF and Microneedling
Published 18th September 2025
min read
Expert Reviewed By
RF and microneedling provides more significant, longer-lasting results than using each treatment individually. Together, these microneedling methods intensely penetrate the and subsurface layers of the skin at once, offering enhanced skin tightening and texture .
What are the Benefits of Combining RF and Microneedling?
A combination of RF and creates a more intensely targeted treatment site. The combination creates defined micro-channels that allow the heat to access the deeper layers of the skin more easily, resulting in much more significant tightening and lifting. RF and microneedling effectively treat skin laxity, jowls, and sagging facial and body skin.
The depth of the and the radiofrequency’s heat penetrate deep into the skin’s layers, effectively breaking scar tissue down and encouraging profound rejuvenation. RF and microneedling effectively treat stretch marks, acne scars, surgical scars and can also shrink large pores thanks to the laser’s heat.
Although the takes a few months to present its fullest potential, the immediate process is considerably faster with more noticeable results after fewer sessions. The controlled thermal energy of the radiofrequencies speeds the body’s healing response, encouraging a more robust rejuvenation process for longer-lasting results.
What is RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling combines microneedling and to penetrate the skin and heat specifically-targeted tissue. This minimally invasive procedure creates controlled micro-injuries to trigger the body’s natural healing response. When the skin is damaged, it collagen and elastin to heal the “micro-channels” created by the radiofrequencies. And it encourages the existing collagen fibres to tighten.
The heat the machine causes is an integral part of the process, as it triggers more robust and accelerated collagen production to treat a variety of skin concerns.
RF microneedling is effective for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, firming sagging skin, remodelling scar tissue, shrinking pores, and evening skin tone and texture. The procedure is customisable to target specific areas and concerns, varying the needle depth and radiofrequency intensity to your desired result.
RF microneedling delivers energy below the skin’s surface, reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that sometimes occurs with other lasers. It incurs minimal downtime, encouraging only a short reaction of redness and swelling, and appearing results with new collagen production.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling uses fine to create thousands of precisely controlled microscopic at a specific depth of the epidermis. This minor skin trauma causes inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, strengthening the skin’s structure and elasticity.
Inflammation is the body’s immune response to damaged tissue. The purpose is to send blood, which dilates and signals to healing cells that there is an injury that they need to attend to.
Within a few days of your treatment, the production of new cells begins, and fibroblasts are activated. Fibroblasts create new collagen and elastin to refresh and repair the skin.
Over the next few months, the new collagen and elastin mature and disperse, strengthening the skin’s structure from the inside out and firming the surface.
At Thames Skin Clinic, we offer the best FDA and CE-approved treatments to deliver our radiofrequency treatments. Dr Anna’s experience has awarded her recognition as a key opinion leader for our devices of choice, the market-leading Secret Pro and Cutera. These machines are renowned for their exceptional abilities to offer comprehensive and skin rejuvenation, creating beautifully natural .
We also include Exosomes in our RF and microneedling treatments to maximise their benefits and reduce downtime. Exosomes are very small nanoparticles that deliver peptides, cytokines, interleukins, proteins, and amino acids. Each of these biological polymers helps restore and repair the cell damage caused by RF and microneedling.
We use a special program of AMP’s EXOIE at multiple points during your treatment journey:
