Microneedling RF in 2025: What Have We Learned

Objectives: The objectives of thus presentation is to demonstrate the new concepts in microneedling RF technology.

Introduction: Microneedling with RF needles has become a very popular modality for treating wrinkles, photodamaged skin, and atrophic acne or traumatic scars. Many of the EBD companies have developed microneedling RF devices that use either insulated or non-insulated needles and use fractional or stamp delivery of the needles into the skin.

Materials / method: The different devices that are available now will be reviewed with the evidence-based medicine to support their effectiveness and their safety. In addition, some new novel devices will also be discussed and how they fit into this group of devices.

Results: This class of device for cosmetic practices has become very important and from this presentation, how they work, why they work, and how well they work will be reviewed.

A clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy performance of a deep multilayered fractional radiofrequency for the treatment of hidradenitis: 18 patients' experience

Objectives: This retrospective chart review assessed the clinical outcomes of 18 patients with moderate-to-severe Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) treated with monthly sessions of deep multilayered high power unipolar fractional radiofrequency (FRF) over one year. Using the Morpheus8 device, treatments targeted depths of 7 to 4mm with varying energy levels. Outcomes were measured by Hurley staging, DLQI, PGIC, and overall satisfaction, with safety evaluated through pain, adverse events, and downtime. All patients showed significant clinical improvement with no deterioration; one patient experienced PIH.

Histological characteristics of insulated, semi-insulated, and non-insulated fractional radiofrequency microneedles: In-vivo abdominoplasty skin model

Objectives: Experimental work: In a living human model, radiofrequency was applied with three different types of needles (insulated, semi-insulated, and non-insulated) at various depths, and a pattern of parameters for the three different types of needles was repeated—patient with criteria for dermolipectomy. The samples were biopsied and then analyzed histologically. The findings, similarities, differences, and conclusions will be presented.

Introduction: There has been much discussion about which type of microneedle works best, insulated vs. non-insulated in radiofrequency equipment. Different companies and different types of MNRF equipment opt for one needle or another. The author decided to test the type of lesion caused by 3 different types of needle to draw conclusions from this.

Materials / method: Female patient who voluntarily signed a consent to perform these tests on abdominal skin that was to be removed during a dermolipectomy surgery.
The same intensities and the same depth were applied with the 3 types of needles and then these pieces of skin were cut and sent to be analyzed.

Results: Differences were found in the type of lesion of the dermis and hypodermis.

Conclusion: The author proposes different types of indications for the 3 different types of microneedles.

Microneedle RF multilayer in the treatment of submental fat and facial contouring

Objectives: The miconeedlle radiofrequency multilayer can act on the various layers of the skin, from the fat to the superficial dermis, in the same shot. This heating provided by high energy improves skin laxity and treats localized fat. In this class, this new therapeutic modality improves facial contour and decreases submental fat, presenting a new therapeutic modality in the treatment of facial and neck aging

3D scanner analysis for facial lifting amount across 5 facial aesthetic units after 6-pulsed 6.78MHz monopolar radiofrequency in real-time thermal monitoring

Objectives: The study evaluates a novel 6-pulsed monopolar RF system operating at 6.78 MHz for facial lifting and skin tightening. Using real-time thermal monitoring to maintain skin temperatures at 44°C, it demonstrates significant lifting effects across five facial aesthetic units with enhanced safety and efficacy. The optimized protocol achieves superior results with only 200 shots, compared to 600 shots in older RF devices. Quantitative 3D analysis and bioimpedance measurements validate outcomes, highlighting the system’s potential for efficient, non-invasive facial lifting.

Introduction: The study examines the efficacy of a 6-pulsed monopolar RF system operating at 6.78 MHz for facial lifting and skin tightening. Real-time thermal monitoring maintains skin temperatures at 44°C, enabling consistent and safe application of energy. Significant lifting effects across five facial aesthetic units were observed, demonstrating enhanced safety and efficacy. The optimized protocol achieves better results with only 200 shots compared to 600 shots in older RF devices. Outcomes are validated through quantitative 3D analysis and bioimpedance measurements, underscoring the system's potential

Materials / method: Thirty-two patients were analysis in this retrospective study. Treatments were administered using a monopolar RF system with real-time thermal monitoring to ensure skin temperatures reached 44°C. Lifting and tightening effects were assessed immediately post-treatment, and at 2 weeks and 1 month, using 3D analysis. Real-time thermal monitoring ensured precise and safe application, allowing skin temperatures to be elevated to the target level. The lifting effects on five facial aesthetic units were analyzed using a 3D scanner at all evaluation points. Skin elesticity was measured.

Results: Significant improvements in facial lifting were observed across all measured points, with the jawline and forehead showing the most pronounced effects. Compared to older RF devices requiring 600 shots, the optimized protocol achieved superior results with only 200 shots.

Conclusion: This monopolar RF system demonstrates considerable potential for effective, non-invasive facial rejuvenation, offering significant improvements with fewer treatments and enhanced patient safety through real-time thermal monitoring. The study highlights the effectiveness of the optimized protocol in achieving significant facial lifting and skin tightening with reduced treatment shots. Unlike older RF devices requiring 600 shots, this protocol achieved excellent results with just 200 shots.
