What is RF Microneedling?

RF Microneedling combines fine needles with radiofrequency energy, delivering controlled heat to the deeper layers of the skin to support collagen and elastin production. At All Saint Clinic Sydney, RF Microneedling is delivered using Morpheus8 or Infini RF, two of the most established platforms in aesthetic medicine, performed exclusively by our Aesthetic Doctors as part of a personalised treatment plan developed at consultation.

RF Microneedling is a well-regarded option for patients seeking more advanced results than standard microneedling for concerns such as texture, scarring and skin laxity. Whether it is right for you will depend on your individual skin concerns and goals, which is why we always recommend a consultation with one of our Aesthetic Doctors before beginning treatment.

RF Microneedling is supported by clinical evidence for its ability to remodel skin texture and support collagen production, with results continuing to develop over the months following treatment as new collagen is produced. As with any clinical treatment, individual responses vary, and results are best supported by an appropriate treatment plan and professional guidance.

Morpheus8 and Infini RF are both radiofrequency microneedling platforms that combine fine needles with RF energy to remodel the deeper layers of the skin. Each device has its own needle configuration and energy delivery characteristics, and your Aesthetic Doctor will select the platform, and settings, best suited to your skin concerns, treatment area and goals at consultation.

Skin Needling uses fine needles alone to create controlled micro-injury and stimulate collagen production. RF Microneedling adds radiofrequency energy delivered through the needles, reaching the deeper layers of the skin for more advanced remodelling. RF Microneedling is generally considered for more pronounced concerns such as scarring and skin laxity, while Skin Needling is often chosen for general skin quality and refinement. Your Aesthetic Doctor will guide you through the right approach at consultation.

A topical anaesthetic is applied before treatment to support comfort, with most patients describing the sensation as manageable warmth and pressure. Following treatment, redness, mild swelling and pinpoint marks are common and generally settle over several days, with the extent of downtime depending on the treatment depth and settings used.

The number of sessions depends on your skin condition, concerns and treatment goals. Many patients undertake a short series spaced several weeks apart, with more pronounced concerns such as acne scarring or laxity often benefiting from additional sessions. Your Aesthetic Doctor will outline the most appropriate plan during your consultation at All Saint Clinic.

RF Microneedling costs at All Saint Clinic vary depending on the treatment area and your individual treatment plan. We recommend booking a consultation so our team can provide a clear, tailored recommendation and outline associated costs.

RF Microneedling is suitable for a broad range of skin types, with treatment depth and settings adjusted to suit individual skin. Individual suitability is always assessed during your consultation prior to treatment.

Results continue to develop over the months following treatment as new collagen is produced, with initial improvements often visible within the first few weeks. Longevity varies between individuals, and your Aesthetic Doctor can advise on a maintenance plan suited to your skin and goals at consultation.
