RF Microneedling Training
Learn radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, which combines micro-injury with controlled heat in the dermis to tighten skin, refine pores and improve acne scars, stretch marks and fine lines on the face and body.
What this course is about
RF microneedling delivers radiofrequency energy through fine needles directly into the dermis. The combination of micro-channels and heat triggers strong collagen and elastin remodelling, with results that go beyond standard microneedling and less surface damage than ablative lasers.
On this course you learn how RF devices work, how to choose needle depth, energy and pulse settings for each skin type and concern, and how to treat safely on darker skin types, where heat increases the risk of pigmentation.
You will practise full-face, neck and body protocols on live models, including acne scarring, enlarged pores, laxity along the jawline and stretch marks, and learn how to combine RF needling with exosomes, PRP and skin boosters.
