Radiofrequency Microneedling
RF Microneedling is a cutting-edge skin treatment that delivers instant and long-term results. By creating tiny microchannels in the skin, it triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This helps to plump, tighten, and smooth the skin, reducing the appearance of stretch marks, scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven texture.
At Sunday Skin UK, we use advanced RF technology that is safe for all skin types and can be performed year-round for consistent skin improvement.
How is RF Microneedling Different from Traditional Microneedling?
Both treatments use collagen induction therapy (CIT) to boost skin regeneration, but RF Microneedling takes it a step further by incorporating radiofrequency energy,
which tightens the skin and enhances results.
✔ Fewer Sessions – RF Microneedling is more powerful than traditional microneedling, meaning you’ll need fewer treatments to achieve your desired results.
✔ Better for Stretch Marks & Scars – This treatment can target new and old stretch marks and scars, even those under 12 months old, helping to soften, shrink, and blend them with the surrounding skin.
✔ Minimal Downtime – Unlike standard microneedling, RF Microneedling is gentler on the skin, meaning a quicker recovery and less irritation.
✔ Customisable Depths – We adjust the settings based on your specific skin concerns, ensuring a targeted, personalised treatment.
✔ Longer-Lasting Results – RF Microneedling doesn’t just boost collagen—it also contracts existing collagen fibres, offering tighter, firmer skin with long-term benefits.
How to Prepare for Your RF Microneedling Treatment?
Avoid self-tan and direct sun exposure for 48 hours before treatment.
Stop using vitamin A or retinol products for 24 hours prior.
Does RF Microneedling Hurt?
The sensation is described as a quick, pinch feeling, with some areas (like around the eyes and lips) being more sensitive. However, it’s quick and tolerable. After the treatment, your skin may feel warm, flushed, or tingly, like a mild sunburn—this is a normal and expected reaction.
How Long Does the Treatment Take?
A session lasts approximately 45 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
During your consultation at Sunday Skin UK, we’ll assess your skin and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your concerns.
Typically, a course of six sessions at monthly intervals delivers the best results.
What is the Downtime After RF Microneedling?
✔ Minimal downtime – You can return to daily activities quickly.
✔ Mild redness & warmth – A slight sunburn-like effect for a few hours post-treatment.
✔ Aftercare is simple – Just keep the skin hydrated and protected.

Post-Treatment Care – Do’s & Don’ts
✔ Do:
Gently wash the treated area with a mild cleanser for the first 48 hours.
Apply moisturiser and repair products as recommended.
Use SPF 30+ daily and avoid direct sun exposure for at least two weeks.
Stay hydrated – drinking plenty of water helps the skin heal.
❌ Don’t:
Avoid exfoliating the skin for a week post-treatment.
Refrain from strenuous exercise, swimming, and saunas for 48 hours.
Avoid alcohol and fragranced skincare for a short period, as they may cause redness.
Delay using retinol or active skincare for two weeks after treatment.
When Will I See Results?
You’ll notice a plumping effect almost immediately, but the true results develop over time. The radiofrequency heat instantly tightens some collagen fibres, while long-term improvements appear from 6 to 8 weeks post-treatment, continuing to enhance for up to a year.
How Long Do the Results Last?
✔ Results last 3–6 years with proper aftercare and maintenance.
✔ Collagen and elastin production continues for months post-treatment.
✔ Regular maintenance sessions can prolong and enhance results.
