Are The Results Permanent? Microneedling With Radio Frequency (RF)
What Is Radio Frequency Microneedling?
At Permanent Beauty in Maidenhead we use the Focus Dual, a new non-surgical skin tightening treatment that also achieves lifting, firming and contouring. The Focus Dual uses a combination of radiofrequency and microneedling to inflict controlled trauma to the skin, which triggers the body’s healing response of collagen and elastin production. Both technologies used in this treatment stimulate collagen in different ways.
Microneedling with Radio Frequency utilises super-fine “microneedles” for safe, precise and more comfortable treatments. The Focus Dual punctures the surface of the skin to prompt the body’s natural healing processes. New tissue and collagen are produced, helping to improve a variety of skin concerns.
As the microneedles penetrate the skin, radiofrequency energy directs heat to the more superficial dermis and epidermis layers of the skin. This also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.The heat zones created help with collagen induction, which remodels and strengthens collagen cells to tighten the skin. Inducing thermal trauma stimulatesneocollagenesis(collagen production) in deep layers of the skin. This creates stronger, firmer and more liftedskin to address concerns such as wrinkles and loose skin.
With the Focus Dual, you receive two treatments in one. Results are more effective when radio frequency and Microneedling are combined, in comparison to having either treatment individually.
Which Concerns Can Radio Frequency Microneedling Treat?
- Ageing skin (wrinkles and fine lines, including smokers’ lines and pigmentation)

The article discusses the Focus Dual, a cutting-edge device used at Permanent Beauty in Maidenhead, which combines radiofrequency and microneedling technologies. My expertise allows me to elucidate the intricacies of this procedure and provide a comprehensive understanding of its mechanisms.
Radio Frequency Microneedling Explained:
Radio frequency microneedling involves the use of super-fine microneedles to create controlled trauma on the skin's surface. The Focus Dual employs this technique, and it stands out by combining it with radiofrequency. The microneedles puncture the skin, initiating the body's natural healing response, leading to the production of collagen and elastin.
A crucial aspect of this procedure is the introduction of radiofrequency energy as the microneedles penetrate the skin. This energy directs heat to the superficial dermis and epidermis layers, contributing to the stimulation of collagen and elastin. This dual approach enhances collagen induction, leading to the remodeling and strengthening of collagen cells, thereby tightening the skin.
Concerns Addressed by Radio Frequency Microneedling:
The article mentions various skin concerns that can be effectively addressed by radio frequency microneedling:
- Ageing skin, including wrinkles, fine lines, smokers' lines, and pigmentation.
- Acne and surgical scars.
