Microneedling® in Manchester
Dermaforce RF Microneedling
As skin ages, collagen loss causes sagging, fine lines, and uneven texture. Fenix’s Dermaforce RF Microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy.
Dermaforce uses thermal RF energy deep in the dermis via micro-needles. This creates micro-injuries and heats tissue, stimulating collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother skin without surgical recovery.

How it works
How Dermaforce RF Technology Works
Dermaforce elevates traditional microneedling by combining physical micro-punctures with thermal energy wave distribution.
The Dual-Action Process:
-
Precision Needle Penetration: Ultra-fine needles penetrate to customized depths in the epidermal and dermal layers, creating controlled micro-channels.
-
Thermal Energy Delivery: As the needles reach the target depth, radiofrequency energy is released directly into the deep dermis, heating structural tissue to stimulate immediate collagen contraction.
-
Neocollagenesis & Elastin Production: The combination of physical injury and thermal heat accelerates fibroblast activity, rebuilding the extracellular matrix over 1 to 3 months.
-
Dermal Structural Lifting: The newly synthesized collagen tightens loose skin from within, refining contours along the cheeks, jawline, neck, and chest.
Areas Treated
Key Target Concerns & Benefits
Deep Wrinkles & Fine Lines
Softens persistent forehead lines, nasolabial folds, and crow’s feet.

Stretch Marks & Body Skin Laxity
Improves tissue tightness on the abdomen, chest, knees, or thighs.
The Process
Your Treatment Journey Expectations
-
Clinical Assessment & Protocol Customization
Our practitioner assesses your skin elasticity, scarring, or laxity to select precise RF energy levels and needle depth settings.
-
Cleansing & Topical Numbing
The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed and a medical-grade topical anesthetic is applied to ensure full comfort throughout the session.
-
Dermaforce RF Delivery
The handheld applicator is systematically pressed across the target grid, delivering uniform micro-needle insertions and RF heat pulses.
-
Cooling & Hydrating Application
A calming post-procedure serum or cooling mask is applied to soothe thermal heat, reduce redness, and lock in moisture.

Clients with active skin infections, severe open breakouts, or eczema in the treatment zone.
Aftercare
Recovery & Essential Aftercare Guidelines
To maximize your results and maintain a smooth recovery:
Avoid Touching or Washing for 12 Hours
Allow the micro-channels to begin natural closure before applying water or gentle cleansers.
Apply Broad-Spectrum SPF 50
Protect healing skin from UV rays to prevent hyperpigmentation.
Pause Active Skincare
Refrain from using Retinols, Vitamin C, AHAs, and BHAs for 5–7 days post-procedure.
Avoid Heat & Strenuous Exercise
Skip saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and heavy gym workouts for 24–48 hours.
Side Effects
Potential Side Effects & Safety Considerations
Dermaforce RF Microneedling is a well-tolerated, safe clinical procedure. Common post-treatment responses include:
-
Mild redness and sensation of skin warmth (similar to a mild sunburn) for 24–48 hours.
-
Minor swelling, tightness, or light sensitivity around thin skin zones (like the eyes).
-
Slight micro-flaking or dry surface texture as old skin cells shed during days 2–4.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Between 30 and 60 minutes, including cleansing and the topical numbing that precedes the RF pass.
A medical-grade topical anesthetic is applied before treatment, so the session is comfortable throughout. Most clients describe warmth and light pressure.
Skin looks fresher once the initial redness settles at 24 to 48 hours. Structural collagen remodeling then continues for up to 3 months.
Twelve to eighteen months, because the change is newly synthesized collagen rather than a product placed under the skin.
Yes, and your practitioner will sequence it with anything else you are having so the skin is not treated twice while it is still healing.
Mild redness and warmth like a light sunburn for 24 to 48 hours, minor swelling or tightness around thin skin such as the eyes, and slight micro-flaking on days 2 to 4.
No. Nothing is injected. Ultra-fine needles create controlled micro-channels and release radiofrequency energy into the deep dermis, and your own collagen does the lifting.
Leave the area alone for 12 hours so the micro-channels can begin to close, and keep retinols, vitamin C, AHAs and BHAs off the skin for 5 to 7 days.
Tell your practitioner at the assessment about any pacemaker, metal implant or electronic device near the treatment area, any active infection or breakout, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
It suits Fitzpatrick types I to VI, and carries a lower risk of hyperpigmentation than laser resurfacing.
