RF Microneedling for Acne Scar Treatment & Other Skin Concerns Melbourne’s Leading Medical Aesthetics & Skin Clinics

All Skintech clinics carry a FDA and TGA-approved Potenza system by Cynosure Australia. We have been a proud partner of Cynosure for many years and are frequently featured on their website and social media pages.

The length of the treatment will depend on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan. We recommend setting aside 1.5 to 2 hours for your treatment. This includes time to apply numbing cream (20-30 mins) before the actual treatment.

As with any microneedling treatment, there will be redness that can last between a few hours to roughly 3 days. Mild swelling can also occur depending on the strength of the treatment. Any redness can be easily covered with light mineral makeup. More information will be given during your consultation.

Comfort levels vary from person to person, but the sensations are only experienced while the microneedles and RF energy are being delivered. Numbing cream is applied prior, ensuring that there is minimal to no pain during the treatment.

Everyone is different, but some results can be seen instantly and will improve over the next 3-6 months as your body continues to produce collagen at an accelerated rate. Some results such as resurfacing of acne scars are permanent. In general, patients have reported results lasting up to 2 years, keeping in mind that the skin continues to age over time.

Acne scarring is a condition that can affect people of all ages, often occurring after active acne has been experienced. Scarring can linger long after active acne clears up, causing blemishes that can make sufferers feel self-conscious about their skin. While laser scar removal can achieve good results for acne scar treatment, RF microneedling is a safe and effective alternative that can penetrate even deeper into the skin for excellent results. This innovative acne scar treatment combines the benefits of microneedling and radiofrequency treatment in one, helping to stimulate collagen production and reduce the appearance of acne scars on the skin.

We recommend a minimum of 4 treatments to see the best results. However, the answer to this question largely depends on your skin condition and its severity. Because the skin continues to age, future touch-up treatments can help patients keep pace with the body’s natural aging process.

While both treatments are effective in reducing the appearance of wrinkles, dull skin and more, RF microneedling uses radio waves to amplify the collagen and elastin production deeper within the layers of the skin in order to ignite skin tightening alongside skin rejuvenation. Generally speaking, RF microneedling is an advanced treatment that can yield more obvious results especially when treating “trickier” skin conditions such as acne scarring. Because RF energy is able to penetrate deeper into the skin compared to laser, it’s an excellent alternative to laser scar removal, allowing for significant improvements in skin tone and texture to be achieved.

With the Potenza system, we’re also able to customise the handpiece tips and energy settings to be more intentional about the type of condition we are treating.
