RF Fractional Microneedling
What is RF Fractional Microneedling?
RF Fractional Microneedling (RFM) is an advanced skin treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin.
Unlike traditional microneedling, RFM delivers heat energy directly into the dermis, where acne scars form—making it highly effective for scar remodeling and skin tightening.
At Adraneda Aesthetics BGC & Cainta, RFM is a core component of our Synergistic Acne Scar Treatment, especially for patients with deeper or mixed-type scars.
Radiofrequency Fractional Microneedling helps improve acne scars by producing collagen in the dermis. It also helps improves skin laxity and mild wrinkles.
"The mechanisms involved are neo-collagenogenesis by needle penetration stimulating the release of growth factors and relative sparing of epidermis and adnexal structures which contribute to rapid healing."

In 1 study, skin laxity and wrinkles were evaluated after Fractional Radiofrequency treatments and the authors concluded that it is an effective procedure with substantial improvement achieved 3 months post procedure with continued improvement to at least 6 months.
"This clinical improvement is consistent with the timeline for increases in collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid and the corresponding volumization, elasticity, and skin laxity improvements previously reported after FRF treatment."

How RF Microneedling Improves Acne Scars
RFM works by creating controlled micro-injuries while delivering RF energy into the skin, which triggers:
✔ Collagen and elastin production
✔ Remodeling of scar tissue
✔ Thickening of the dermis
✔ Improved skin texture and firmness
👉 Over time, this leads to shallower scars, smoother skin, and better overall skin quality.
What Types of Acne Scars Can It Treat?
RF Fractional Microneedling is especially effective for:
- Rolling acne scars
- Shallow boxcar scars
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin texture
👉 It is often combined with other treatments for icepick and deeper boxcar scars.
Why RFM is Different from Other Treatments
vs Traditional Microneedling
- Deeper penetration
- Stronger collagen stimulation
- More effective for acne scars
vs Fractional CO2 Laser
- Targets the dermis without damaging the surface
- Shorter downtime
- Lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
👉 This makes it ideal for patients who want effective results with less downtime.
Additional Benefits
- Tightens mild skin laxity
- Improves fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduces pore size
- Enhances overall skin quality
👉 It is both an acne scar treatment and anti-aging procedure.
What to Expect After Treatment
- Mild redness and swelling (1–3 days)
- Gradual improvement over weeks
- Best results seen after multiple sessions
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Most patients require 3–5 sessions, depending on scar severity and skin response.
👉 Results improve progressively as collagen builds over time.
Why Choose Adraneda Aesthetics?
- Doctor-guided treatments
- Customized depth and energy settings
