Microneedling with Radiofrequency – Facial Treatment for Skin Rejuvenation
Microneedling with radiofrequency is an innovative cosmetic procedure that combines the latest technologies using devices like Morpheus8, Scarlet, Potenza, and others to improve skin texture and reduce signs of aging.
Led by Dr. Elizabeta Prendjova Nikolić and Dr. Darko Nikolić, Divine Medica Clinic proudly offers this treatment as the gold standard in anti-aging. With over 14 years of experience in aesthetic medicine, we strive to help you achieve your individual beauty ideals.
This anti-aging method combines the benefits of microneedling and radiofrequency energy to enhance skin structure and reduce the signs of aging.
Micro-needles are inserted into the skin while simultaneously emitting radiofrequency energy. This process stimulates the natural production of collagen and promotes skin tightening.
Benefits of Microneedling with Radiofrequency:
The combined effect of microneedles and radiofrequency energy enables effective skin tightening and rejuvenation. Compared to more invasive procedures, there is no lengthy recovery period—most patients quickly return to their daily routines. By stimulating collagen production, skin structure is improved long-term, and results can be visible for several months.
It is a highly successful method for treating wrinkles, lifting lower eyelids, rejuvenating the neck, décolletage, and hands. Even sagging cheeks can be reduced, allowing for firmer skin without surgery.
This treatment also delivers excellent results in improving acne scars, post-surgical scars, and stretch marks (including pregnancy-related ones).
Microneedling with radiofrequency represents a promising option in aesthetic medicine for restoring the skin’s natural beauty.

WHAT SKIN TYPES CAN BE TREATED WITH RF-MICRONEEDLING?
According to Dr. Elizabeta and Dr. Darko Nikolić, the treatment is generally suitable for various skin types:
For normal skin, it enhances texture, firmness, and rejuvenation.
For dry skin, it improves hydration and reduces signs of dryness.
For oily skin, it helps tighten pores and refine texture.
For combination skin, it targets different concerns simultaneously.
For sensitive skin, our advanced device allows precise intensity adjustments to prevent excessive irritation.
Treated Areas Include:
Face
Neck
Décolletage
Hands
Armpits
Body (upper arms, elbows, inner thighs, knees, etc.)
ADVANTAGES
A major advantage is the ability to adjust penetration depth up to 3.5 mm, stimulating deeper collagen structures compared to lasers. The micro-channels prevent pigmentation changes and scarring, making treatment possible year-round.
WHAT MAKES OUR MICRONEEDLING DEVICE SPECIAL?
Thanks to the “cold” insertion of gold-tipped needles through the epidermis and heat delivery only to deeper skin layers, pain is significantly reduced. Needle length (0.5–3.5 mm) and intensity can be individually adjusted, effectively treating all skin layers.
HOW IS THE MICRONEEDLING WITH RADIOFREQUENCY TREATMENT PERFORMED?
A typical treatment involves:
A thorough consultation to assess skin needs and define a treatment plan
Skin cleansing and optional application of numbing cream
Use of a handheld device with fine micro-needles, which penetrate the skin while emitting RF energy to stimulate collagen
Micro-injuries and uniform heating trigger skin regeneration and tightening
Minor redness post-treatment typically resolves quickly
TREATMENT DURATION
Depends on the treated area; typically lasts 30–60 minutes. For enhanced results, stimulating substances can be applied post-treatment via the micro-channels.
HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE NEEDED?
We recommend 3–5 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months help prolong results.
PRE- AND POST-TREATMENT CARE
Before:
Avoid blood thinners for at least one week
After:
Avoid direct sun exposure for 6–8 weeks
Use SPF 30+ when outdoors
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS:
Though generally safe, minor side effects can include:
Redness (a few hours or longer with sensitive skin)
Swelling (usually mild and temporary)
Bruising (small and fade quickly)
Mild pain or discomfort
Numbness or tingling (temporary)
Scabbing (let heal naturally)
Skin infection (rare if post-care instructions are followed)
