About the treatment

What is Microneedling & MNRF?

Microneedling uses fine, sterile needles to create tiny channels in the skin. As they heal, the skin produces fresh collagen and elastin.

Microneedling radiofrequency (MNRF) adds gentle heat through insulated needles, which tightens deeper layers and suits scars and enlarged pores.

Dermapen microneedling can be paired with PRP, GFC, exosomes or mesotherapy serums. For stretch marks, MNRF is combined with fractional CO2 laser.

FAQ

Microneedling & MNRF: your questions

Is microneedling the same as a derma roller?

No. Clinic devices control needle depth and spacing precisely and are fully sterile, which home rollers can't match.

Does it hurt?

Numbing cream keeps most people comfortable. You may feel light pressure or warmth.

How far apart are sessions?

Usually four to six weeks, so collagen has time to rebuild between sessions.

Results vary from person to person. Suitability, number of sessions and fees are confirmed after a consultation.
