Radiofrequency skin treatment sydney

Radiofrequency (RF) skin treatments are advanced, non-surgical procedures that use controlled electrical energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin. This gentle thermal effect stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, helping to improve skin texture, reduce acne scarring, soften fine lines, and gently tighten mild skin laxity. RF treatments are suitable for all skin types, including darker complexions, and are a popular choice for those seeking effective skin rejuvenation without lasers or surgery.

Advanced RF for Skin Texture, Acne Scars & Skin Tightening

how DOES rf skin treatment work? 

  • RF energy is delivered through a specialised applicator or microneedling device, targeting the dermis (the deeper skin layer) without damaging the surface.

  • This controlled heating triggers your body’s repair response, boosting new collagen and elastin production.

  • The result is smoother, firmer skin, improved texture, and a more even, rejuvenated complexion.

  • Because the skin’s surface remains largely intact, healing is rapid and downtime is minimal.

  • Sensation: Warmth, tingling, or mild prickling—usually well tolerated

  • Post-treatment: Redness and a sandpaper-like feel for 1–2 days; makeup can usually be worn after 24–48 hours

  • Sessions: A series of 3–4 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, is recommended for optimal results

scientific support

Clinical studies show significant improvements in acne scarring, wrinkles, and overall skin texture after RF treatments. New collagen and elastin continue to form for months following the procedure. Fractional RF technology is associated with fewer pigmentary side effects than many lasers, making it ideal for a wide range of skin tones.
