What is Needle RF?
Needle RF (Radio Frequency) is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that involves inserting fine needles into the skin and delivering high-frequency (RF = Radio Frequency) energy. This treatment improves skin firmness and radiance while effectively reducing fine lines, enlarged pores, and acne scars.
By utilizing needles, the treatment can directly target the dermis layer, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This helps restore the skin’s natural plumpness and elasticity from within.
Recommended for the Following Concerns
- Want to seriously improve enlarged pores and acne scars
- Are concerned about sagging skin
- Have not seen significant results from laser treatments
- Desire a natural skin rejuvenation process
Treatment Features
Features of the Treatment - How Is It Different from Other Skin Treatments?
ニードルRFは、「針×高周波(RF)」のダブルアプローチで、肌の奥深くからコラーゲンの生成を促し、リフトアップや毛穴・ニキビ跡の改善を叶える治療です。従来のレーザー治療やRF(高周波)単独の施術と比べて、より高い効果と持続力が期待できます。

Deep Penetration with Minimal Surface Damage
Unlike laser treatments, which remove the surface layer of the skin and may cause redness or scabbing, Needle RF delivers RF energy directly to the dermis through fine needles. This minimizes damage to the epidermis while ensuring high treatment effectiveness.

Effective for Pore, Acne Scar, and Fine Line Improvement
By creating microscopic wounds with ultra-fine needles, the skin’s natural healing process (wound repair) is activated. Additionally, the heat from RF energy stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to tighter pores, reduced acne scars, and improved skin firmness.

Shorter Downtime Compared to Other Treatments
Needle RF has a shorter recovery time than traditional fractional laser or chemical peeling treatments. Some redness may occur post-treatment, but it typically subsides within 1–3 days and can be covered with makeup.

Customizable Treatment for Different Skin Concerns
The depth of the needles and RF intensity can be adjusted based on individual skin conditions and concerns.
For example:
・For enlarged pores, shallower needle depths are used.
・ For deep acne scars, deeper penetration is applied for thorough treatment.
This allows for a fully personalized skincare approach.
