MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling with Radiofrequency
The field of cosmetic medicine has evolved significantly, driven by the global shift towards the intersection of medicine and fashion. At Dr. Dima Ahmad’s clinic, we are committed to providing the best cosmetic medical services, such as microneedling with radiofrequency, which has taken microneedling to another level.
Microneedling with radiofrequency treatment involves using fine needles to puncture the skin, stimulating blood circulation in the skin and its deeper layers. This, in turn, encourages the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, which are common goals in various cosmetic procedures in the world of cosmetic medicine.
By combining microneedling with radiofrequency, the treatment enables the effects of needle puncture to penetrate deeper layers through the creation of specific pathways. This results in more significant stimulation of collagen production, leading to better outcomes and more youthful skin.

Question & Answer
Microneedling with radiofrequency may cause some discomfort, which is why we apply local anesthesia to the face about 15 to 30 minutes before the procedure to ensure the patient’s comfort.
Typically, a session takes 30 minutes to an hour.
After the procedure, it’s recommended to apply ice packs to reduce swelling and discomfort, use sunscreen when going outside, and apply antibiotic creams as advised by the doctor. Avoid makeup for at least 48 hours after the procedure.
Most cases require at least three sessions, with results typically becoming noticeable over 3 to 6 months.
