Radiofrequency Microneedling
Combine heat energy and collagen induction therapy for impressive results with minimal downtime
Radio frequency microneedling is a perfect option if you’re hoping to brighten, tighten, smooth and lift your face. It can also calm inflammation, balance pigmentation and reduce pore size, leaving you with a better tone and texture to your skin.

Popular body areas we can target are loose skin under the arms, stretch marks on the stomach, neck and décolletage, legs, and many more.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does radiofrequency microneedling work?
Radio frequency (RF) microneedling creates controlled injury to the skin. The RF energy heats the deeper layers, while the microneedling focuses on creating tiny wounds in the upper layers. Our bodies have a natural ability to heal themselves, which is triggered by the controlled injury. When this happens, new skin grows back thicker, stronger and smoother, leaving you with a fresh and rejuvenated appearance.
What does the procedure involve?
When you come into the clinic, we’ll cleanse your skin in preparation for treatment.
The procedure itself generally takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas we’ll be treating. You’ll need between four and six treatments for the best results.
What aftercare is required?
Before you leave your appointment, we’ll run through all the recommended aftercare advice. This includes avoiding touching your face, wearing make-up, drinking alcohol and intense exercise for at least 24 hours.
How long does it take?
Here at Hill Street Clinic we’re really excited, because we’re the first clinics in Jersey to use CoolAdvantage by Allergan. This innovative new way of delivering the fat freezing treatment means that the treatment time is now from just 35 minutes. As well as being quicker, it’s even more comfortable, and delivers more effective results.
Even better, there’s no downtime or recovery period. Unlike surgical treatments, aftercare is as simple as the treatment itself. You might experience a little redness, numbness or tingling immediately after treatment, but this will pass completely, along with any swelling, in the first few weeks after treatment.
You’ll start to notice the difference as early as three weeks after your treatment, as your body starts to eliminate the fat cells, and after three months the results will be at their most dramatic.
How long do results last?
You can expect RF microneedling results to last around 12 months on average. Of course, our skin continues to age, so repeated treatments are necessary if you want ongoing results.
