What is RF Needling?
RF Needling is one of the most powerful treatments available for tightening skin, reducing pigmentation, and rebuilding collagen. At The Skin Bar, we use the Sylfirm X — the world’s most advanced dual-wave RF device — to deliver deep results with minimal discomfort or downtime.
This treatment combines Skin Needling (microneedling) with targeted radio frequency energy. While the tiny needles stimulate your skin’s healing response, the RF energy heats the dermis, tightening tissue, improving vascular concerns, and boosting collagen and elastin where you need it most.
Unlike laser or injectables, RF is non-invasive and safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types. It’s clinically effective for:
- Melasma and pigment
- Redness, rosacea, and capillaries
- Fine lines, sagging, and facial laxity
- Acne scarring and rough texture
- Stretch marks and pores
Sylfirm X allows us to treat even delicate areas (like under the eyes and around the mouth) with precision — and fully customise the depth, energy, and technique based on your concerns.
Whether you want to lift, firm, or refine your skin long-term, RF Microneedling is an advanced solution that delivers real, visible results.
Can RF Needling dissolve fat on the face?
No — with our device and protocols, it is not possible to dissolve fat on the face. We only treat the face at a superficial depth using heat settings that are completely safe and designed to stimulate collagen, not affect fat tissue.
At The Skin Bar, we do use a deeper RF setting specifically on the middle section of the neck, where we can safely target stubborn fat to help contour the jawline and neck area. This deeper setting is never used on the face — ensuring results are lifting and firming, without volume loss.
