Are you looking to improve skin texture and tighten loose skin without surgery? At Dr Queenie Chan’s clinic, we offer RF Microneedling Treatment, a skin rejuvenation treatment that combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to stimulate collagen production and promote smoother, firmer skin.
This minimally invasive treatment reduces fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars, supporting skin renewal and improving elasticity over time. With minimal downtime, this treatment is a practical option for those wanting to enhance skin quality and address textural concerns.
What is RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling is a non-surgical skin treatment that delivers radiofrequency energy into the skin using fine microneedles. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, promoting skin renewal and enhancing texture and tone. Unlike traditional microneedling, RF energy penetrates deeper, allowing it to target skin laxity, fine lines and acne scars.
Which Areas Can Be Treated?
This skin rejuvenation treatment can be used on both the face and body to improve skin texture and firmness. The areas that can be treated include:
- Face – Reduces fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars while refining skin texture.
- Neck & Décolletage – Helps with skin laxity, sun damage and uneven tone.
- Hands – Supports skin renewal and helps improve texture.
- Body – Addresses loose skin, stretch marks and uneven texture on areas such as the abdomen, arms and thighs.
What Skin Concerns Can RF Microneedling Address?
This collagen-stimulating treatment can help improve:
- Fine lines and wrinkles – Supports collagen production to refine skin texture
- Skin laxity – Helps improve skin firmness
- Acne scars and textural irregularities – Encourages skin renewal for a more even surface
- Sun damage and pigmentation – Helps reduce uneven skin tone
- Enlarged pores – Promotes skin refinement

What Are the Benefits of RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling provides a non-surgical approach to skin improvement, offering:
- Collagen and elastin stimulation to support skin renewal
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles for smoother skin
- Tightening of mild to moderate skin laxity
- Minimisation of acne scars and uneven skin texture
- Improvement in skin tone and reduction of pigmentation
Am I a Good Candidate for RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling is suitable for individuals looking to improve skin texture and firmness without undergoing invasive procedures. It is particularly beneficial for those concerned with age-related changes, acne scars, or mild skin laxity. A consultation will determine suitability based on skin type and specific concerns. Unlike some laser therapies which use controlled damage to the skin surface to target certain skin conditions, RF Microneedling targets deeper tissue planes, avoiding the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and makes it a safer treatment in individuals with darker skin tone.
How Does RF Microneedling Work?
This treatment works by using microneedles to create tiny channels in the skin, delivering radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, encouraging collagen and elastin production for long-term skin improvement.
There are two key approaches:
- Fractional RF Microneedling – Targets fine lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores to improve textural problems on the skin surface.
- Deep RF Microneedling – Penetrates deeper to address acne scars, skin laxity and uneven skin tone.
RF Microneedling at Dr Queenie Chan’s Clinic
Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive skin assessment, where we discuss your concerns and goals. With our expert team of a plastic surgeon, aesthetic RN and dermal therapist, we will create a customised treatment plan tailored to your skin type and specific needs. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions or address any concerns you may have.
Procedure
Before the treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to maximise comfort. Once the skin is prepared, the RF Microneedling device is carefully moved over the treatment area, delivering controlled radiofrequency energy through fine microneedles. This process stimulates collagen production and promotes skin renewal.
During the procedure, you may experience a warming sensation, but discomfort is generally minimal. The session typically lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Results
As your skin heals and regenerates, you will notice improvements in skin tone, texture and firmness over a 6 to 12 month period. While some individuals see results after one session, a series of three treatments in total may be recommended for optimal skin rejuvenation.
Recovery & Aftercare
Following the treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or slight sensitivity, which usually resolves within a few days. Aftercare includes:
- Avoiding direct sun exposure and applying broad-spectrum sunscreen
- Keeping the skin hydrated with gentle skincare products
- Following a custom aftercare plan for enhanced results
Possible Risks or Side Effects
RF Microneedling is a well-tolerated skin resurfacing treatment, but some temporary side effects may include:
- Mild redness or swelling, which typically subsides within 48 hours
- Temporary dryness or sensitivity as the skin heals
- Mild peeling as new skin cells regenerate
Rarely, certain skin types may experience hyperpigmentation or prolonged redness, which can be minimised with proper post-treatment care.
How Much Does RF Microneedling Cost?
The cost of RF Microneedling treatment varies based on several factors, including the size of the treatment area, the number of sessions required and the depth of RF penetration needed. A personalised cost estimate will be provided during your consultation, ensuring a treatment plan tailored to your specific skin concerns and goals.

RF Microneedling vs Traditional Microneedling – what’s the difference?
Traditional microneedling creates microchannels in the skin to promote natural healing, while RF Microneedling adds radiofrequency energy, allowing for deeper collagen stimulation and enhanced skin-firming benefits.

The number of sessions varies based on skin type and concerns. Some individuals see improvement after one session, but a series of three treatments in total is often recommended to achieve optimal results.
Does RF Microneedling help with skin tightening?
Yes, RF Microneedling can help improve skin laxity by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which contribute to firmer and more structured skin.
Can RF Microneedling be used for large pores?
Yes, RF Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores by increasing collagen production, which strengthens and refines the skin’s surface.
