About RF Microneedling
RF Microneedling (radiofrequency microneedling) is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that combines precision microneedling with thermal radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin at controlled depths. Sasha Aesthetic Clinic offers RF Microneedling at Shop 11, Binghatti Corner, Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Dubai, delivered by a DHA-licensed clinical team. It is suitable for skin laxity, fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture across all skin tones. A standard protocol at Sasha is a course of 3 sessions. The treatment is performed without surgery or general anaesthesia, with minimal downtime of 24–48 hours.
Quick answers — RF Microneedling
What — RF Microneedling uses a device with fine insulated needles that penetrate the dermis and emit radiofrequency thermal energy at precise depths, triggering the skin's collagen remodelling response without damaging the surface.
For — Skin laxity and mild sagging, acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven texture, stretch marks on the body. Suitable for all skin tones including darker Fitzpatrick types common in the UAE.
How — Topical numbing cream is applied 30–45 minutes before. The device passes over the treatment area, delivering RF energy through microneedle tips. Heat is felt but pain is minimal with numbing.
Sessions — A course of 3 sessions is standard at Sasha, typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart. A 10% package discount is available on the 3-session course.
Downtime — 24–48 hours of redness and mild swelling typical. Skin may feel like a mild sunburn for the first day. Most return to social activity within 24–48 hours.
Results — Collagen remodelling is progressive: initial tightening within weeks; peak results 3–6 months after the course. Results can last 12–18 months with good skincare.
