Overview & Procedure

What the treatment is and how it's performed

What it is

In radiofrequency microneedling, fine insulated needles enter the skin and release heat at depth. The combination of small channels and heat starts new collagen and elastin production and can tighten the skin. Morpheus8 is a well-known device for this treatment. It is used on the face, neck and body, for example for lax skin, scars and stretch marks.

  • Usually two to three treatments four to six weeks apart.
  • Maintenance once a year.

  1. The practitioner assesses your skin and chooses the needle depth.
  2. The skin is cleaned, and numbing cream is applied.
  3. The skin is treated systematically with the needles, often together with a serum.
  4. The treatment ends with a soothing mask or cream.

  • Avoid retinol, acids and scrubs for three to five days before.
  • Avoid tanning and self-tan for the last two weeks.
  • If you have had cold sores, tell the clinic before treatment around the mouth.

The treatment itself takes 20–40 minutes, plus the time the numbing cream needs to work.

Experience & Recovery

Pain level, downtime and healing

With numbing cream, most people rate the discomfort 4–6 out of 10. It feels like heat and prickling.

  • Common: redness, swelling, tightness and slight flaking.
  • Uncommon: small spots of blood, small bruises or dryness.
  • Rare: small burns, darker pigment or infection.

  • Do not wear make-up for the first day.
  • Use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser for three to five days.
  • Avoid retinol, acids, scrubs and other active products for a week.
  • Avoid hard exercise, saunas and swimming for 24–48 hours.
  • Use a high-factor sunscreen, and avoid strong sun for two weeks.

Usually 2–4 days of redness. The skin can be red and swollen with small marks from the needles. Make-up can often be worn after a day or two.

Expectations & Safety

Who it's for and safety information

  • The result comes gradually, because the skin needs time to form new collagen.
  • The clinic uses sterile single-use needles.
  • Dark skin has a higher risk of pigment changes. The practitioner adapts the depth.

  • Lax skin on the face, neck and body.
  • Acne scars.
  • Large pores and uneven skin texture.
  • Stretch marks.

  • A lot of loose skin. Surgery gives a better result.
  • Inflamed spots or active acne.

The skin becomes gradually firmer over three to six months after the series. Maintenance once a year keeps the result.

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
  • Inflamed spots, infection, eczema, psoriasis or wounds in the area.
  • An active cold sore.
  • A tendency to raised, growing scars (keloids).
  • Tablet treatment for acne in the last six months.
  • Bleeding disorders. If you take blood-thinning medicine, tell the clinic.
  • A pacemaker or another electronic implant.
  • Metal implants in the area.

Contact the clinic if pain, swelling or redness increases after two days, or if you get pus, a fever or blisters.
