Nexus RF Pro
RF Microneedling is an innovative treatment that uses micro-needles to deliver radio frequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin, effectively improving signs of aging, fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. It is safe for all skin types and offers minimal downtime.
Key benefits include:
Ideal treatment areas include the face, neck, eyes, decolletage, hands, knees, and more. Patients typically require 3-5 sessions, spaced four weeks apart, with results visible within a week.
At your first appointment, Helen will review your medical history and take photos to tailor the treatment to your needs. During the procedure, a numbing agent is applied, followed by the microneedling process, which lasts between 10 to 45 minutes and includes a soothing serum application.
After care involves applying ice packs, using SPF, and avoiding makeup for 24 hours. For best results, follow the aftercare instructions provided by Helen.

Results Timeline
You’ll see initial results in 3-4 weeks as collagen production increases, with noticeable improvements in skin texture within 6-12 weeks. Optimal results typically require 3-5 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, lasting up to 2 years. Maintenance treatments can be done bi-annually to keep skin youthful.
Comfort Level
The procedure is generally comfortable, with a topical anaesthetic applied 15-30 minutes prior to minimize discomfort. While it may be slightly more intense than traditional microneedling, standard pain management techniques keep it manageable.
How many RF Microneedling sessions do I need?
Typically, 3-5 sessions spaced a month apart are recommended for noticeable results.
Is it effective for acne scars and pores?
Results vary individually, but initial improvements in texture and tone may be seen after the first session. Significant changes can take longer due to collagen production.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You can resume normal activities right after treatment, though mild redness and swelling may occur, typically subsiding within hours. Sensitive areas may take longer to heal, so consider taking a day off from social engagements.
What are the side effects?
Common side effects include mild redness and irritation lasting 2-24 hours. Contact your clinic if you experience bleeding, bruising, or infection. Not suitable for those who are pregnant, have certain medical conditions, or specific skin issues.
Who is suitable for the treatment?
The treatment is generally safe, but those who are pregnant, have certain infections, or use specific implants should avoid it. Consult with your practitioner for personalized advice.
