Overview
MNRF (microneedling radiofrequency) combines needles with radiofrequency energy. It is used in aesthetic practice for selected scars and laxity.
What concerns it may be used for
It may be considered for selected atrophic scars or texture after assessment. It is not a guaranteed scar-erasure procedure.
How it generally works
A clinician uses an RF microneedling device at parameters chosen for the skin. This page does not publish device settings.
Who may be considered
People considering this service need an in-person or clinic assessment. Medical history, medicines, skin type and the specific concern all affect whether it is appropriate.
Safety and clinical assessment
Laser and light-based procedures can cause burns, pigment change, scarring or other effects in some people. Settings and suitability depend on skin type and the area treated. Burns, marks and pigment change are known risks of energy-based needling. Cosmetic procedures carry risks. A consultation should cover indications, risks, benefits, alternatives, realistic expectations, recovery and cost. Suitability, treatment parameters and expected outcomes vary by skin type, concern and clinical assessment. Individual results vary.
