Fractional RF is a modern skin treatment that aims to address various skin concerns, especially aging signs. The procedure uses the micro-needling technique that penetrates the top skin layer to about 3-3.5mm in depth, focusing the dermal layers. On reaching the dermal layers, it spreads the radiofrequency heat on the skin tissues. As a result, it enhances collagen production and makes the skin smoother and tighter.

RF Microneedling Dubai Procedure
The RF Microneedling procedure is safe, quick, and effective. It is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment that only takes 30-40 minutes to complete. The step-by-step procedure of Fractional RF Microneedling in Dubai is as follows:
- The procedure starts with administering topical anesthesia to numb the treatment area.
- Then the dermatologist manually moves a handheld Microneedling device on the skin. It is set to a specific frequency according to the severity of skin conditions.
- The dermatologist will pinch the treatment area with each pulse for better penetration.
- The radiofrequency waves target the deep skin tissues only and do not damage the surface skin.
- As a result of the treatment, collagen is stimulated, making the skin more youthful and rejuvenated.
Post-Procedure Instructions
RF Microneedling is not a surgical procedure; therefore, the aftercare is not extensive. However, most dermatologists provide some general pre-procedure instructions to avoid complications. Some standard instructions include:
- Abstain from shaving, waxing, or epilating the treated area.
- Avoid steam rooms, spas, saunas, and hot showers for at least 24 hours.
