RADIOFREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING IN TEDDINGTON
Stimulate collagen, tighten skin, and reduce scarring with advanced radiofrequency microneedling technology
Looking to improve skin texture, tighten loose skin, or reduce acne scarring?
Radiofrequency microneedling is a clinically proven treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural healing response, helping to boost collagen, tighten tissue, and restore smoother, firmer skin. At Dr. Magenta's Aesthetic Clinic in Teddington, we use the 3D dermaforce machine for safe, precise, and highly effective results.
WHAT CAN RADIOFREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING TREAT?
​
This treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin concerns, including:
​
1. Fine lines and wrinkles
​2. Mild to moderate skin laxity (sagging) and early jowls
3. Acne, rosacea, and acne scarring
4. Pigmentation and sun damage
5. Loose skin on the neck and décolletage
6. Ageing skin on the backs of the hands
7. Stretch marks and scarring on the body
​
Microneedling on its own creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin using a specialised device. These tiny channels stimulate your body’s wound-healing response, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin by activating fibroblast cells.
​
In addition to this the radio-frequency waves (which are delivered through the microneedles) then penetrate the basal melanocyte layer, heating the collagen fibres in the dermis to 55-65 degrees celsius. This stimulates a further wound healing response in the skin which increases cell turnover and production of collagen and elastin.
​
Dr. Magenta uses the 3D dermaforce device with a single-use cartridge containing 36 ultra-fine insulated surgical-grade stainless steel needles. The device has a vacuum feature for auto-injection and improved patient comfort. The depth and precision of the Dermaforce device ensures optimal stimulation without unnecessary trauma, leading to safe, consistent, and long-lasting skin rejuvenation.

CLIENT TREATMENTS - BEFORE AND AFTER
HOW LONG UNTIL I SEE RESULTS FROM RF MICRONEEDLING?
RF microneedling works by creating tiny micro-injuries in the deeper layers of the skin, which triggers the body’s natural wound healing response and stimulates collagen production. The radio frequency waves are delivered through the needles to heat the collagen and stimulate renewal and repair of collagen and elastin. While some clients notice early improvements in skin texture and tone within a few days, the most significant results typically appear after 4 to 6 weeks.
For optimal results, Dr. Magenta recommends a course of at least 3-4 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart, to fully stimulate collagen and elastin regeneration and achieve long-lasting skin rejuvenation.
​
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE RF MICRONEEDLING TREATMENTS?
The ideal frequency for RF microneedling depends on your individual skin concerns and goals. In most cases, RF microneedling can be safely performed every 4 to 6 weeks. For best results, many clients begin with a course of 3 to 4 treatments, followed by maintenance sessions as recommended by Dr. Magenta during your personalised consultation.
ARE THERE ANY CONTRAINDICATIONS TO RF MICRONEEDLING?
RF microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for most skin types, but it may not be suitable in certain situations. A thorough medical consultation will always be carried out to assess your skin and overall health before treatment.
​
Contraindications include:
-
Active acne, particularly inflamed lesions
-
Active infections in the treatment area (e.g. herpes, warts)
-
Severe chronic skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis
-
A history of keloid scarring
-
Immunocompromised individuals, including those undergoing chemotherapy
-
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
​
Caution is also required for patients who have recently had anti-wrinkle injections, as RF microneedling too soon afterwards may risk unintended toxin migration.
