The Benefits of Combining RF and Microneedling
Published 18th September 2025
min read

Expert Reviewed By Dr Anna Hemming

Combining RF and microneedling provides more significant, longer-lasting results than using each treatment individually. Together, these microneedling methods intensely penetrate the surface and subsurface layers of the skin at once, offering enhanced skin tightening and texture improvements.
What are the Benefits of Combining RF and Microneedling?
A combination of RF and microneedling creates a more intensely targeted treatment site. The combination creates defined micro-channels that allow the heat to access the deeper layers of the skin more easily, resulting in much more significant tightening and lifting. RF and microneedling effectively treat skin laxity, jowls, and sagging facial and body skin.
The depth of the needles and the radiofrequency’s heat penetrate deep into the skin’s layers, effectively breaking scar tissue down and encouraging profound rejuvenation. RF and microneedling effectively treat stretch marks, acne scars, surgical scars and can also shrink large pores thanks to the laser’s heat.
Although the process takes a few months to present its fullest potential, the immediate process is considerably faster with more noticeable results after fewer sessions. The controlled thermal energy of the radiofrequencies speeds the body’s healing response, encouraging a more robust rejuvenation process for longer-lasting results.
What is RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy to penetrate the skin and heat specifically-targeted tissue. This minimally invasive procedure creates controlled micro-injuries to trigger the body’s natural healing response. When the skin is damaged, it produces collagen and elastin to heal the «micro-channels» created by the radiofrequencies. And it encourages the existing collagen fibres to tighten.
The heat the machine causes is an integral part of the process, as it triggers more robust and accelerated collagen production to treat a variety of skin concerns.
RF microneedling is effective for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, firming sagging skin, remodelling scar tissue, shrinking pores, and evening skin tone and texture. The procedure is customisable to target specific areas and concerns, varying the needle depth and radiofrequency intensity to achieve your desired result.
RF microneedling delivers energy below the skin’s surface, reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that sometimes occurs with other lasers. It incurs minimal downtime, encouraging only a short reaction of redness and swelling, and providing gradually appearing results with new collagen production.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling uses fine needles to create thousands of precisely controlled microscopic punctures at a specific depth of the epidermis. This minor skin trauma causes inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, strengthening the skin’s structure and elasticity
Inflammation is the body’s immune response to damaged tissue. The purpose is to send blood, which dilates and signals to healing cells that there is an injury that they need to attend to.
Within a few days of your treatment, the production of new cells begins, and fibroblasts are activated. Fibroblasts create new collagen and elastin to refresh and repair the skin.
Over the next few months, the new collagen and elastin mature and disperse, strengthening the skin’s structure from the inside out and firming the surface.
At Thames Skin Clinic, we offer the best FDA and CE-approved treatments to deliver our radiofrequency microneedling treatments. Dr Anna’s experience has awarded her recognition as a key opinion leader for our devices of choice, the market-leading Secret Pro and Cutera. These machines are renowned for their exceptional abilities to offer comprehensive and personalised skin rejuvenation, creating beautifully natural results.
We also include Exosomes in our RF and microneedling treatments to maximise their benefits and reduce downtime. Exosomes are very small nanoparticles that deliver peptides, cytokines, interleukins, proteins, and amino acids. Each of these biological polymers helps restore and repair the cell damage caused by RF and microneedling
We use a special program of AMP’s EXOIE at multiple points during your treatment journey:
Using EXOIE at regular intervals surrounding your RF and microneedling treatment increases elastin, collagen, and the productivity of hyaluronic acid from your treatment.

Have you recently moved to the area and are hoping to sign up to a new dentist in Teddington? Here at Kirby Dental, we welcome new and existing patients to our practice and look forward to seeing how we can assist you with your dental health needs.
Our dentist in Teddington, along with a team of highly skilled dental professionals, is on hand to assist with general dentistry, orthodontics, cosmetic treatment options and more.

If you’re looking to improve on the current state of your smile and wish to straighten or align crooked teeth we offer Invisalign aligners as a natural-looking solution that delivers incredible results.

One of the best ways to remove stubborn plaque from your teeth or noticeable stains is through having your teeth professionally cleaned. This is also a fantastic way to ensure you don’t encounter any gum disease or signs of infection.
If you feel self-conscious about the current appearance of your teeth and visible signs of staining, you may want to consider having a professional teeth whitening treatment. We offer this treatment here at our practice and you can feel comfortable knowing it will be performed in a safe, clean environment with a dental professional.
The process is fairly simple and requires patients to have a quick assessment of their teeth to determine the level of staining present. A customised tray is then created for you which enables a comfortable fit when placed over your teeth. The whitening treatment is then activated by the introduction of a bleaching agent and your teeth will be instantly transformed to appear several shades lighter. Patients can look forward to enjoying no signs of discolouration or staining allowing them to smile with confidence from within.
For those patients who struggle with having a loose tooth or may experience missing teeth, we recommend considering dental implant surgery. Following a simple consultation, we can assess whether or not you are a suitable candidate and following this a treatment plan can be created for you.
Dental implants are highly beneficial and offer long-term benefits for patients. For those that struggle to bite or chew as a result of loose dentures, dental implants may be a suitable replacement for you too. Not only do they appear the same as natural teeth thanks to their discreet appearance, but they function in the same way as well. Implants will help to restore your ability to bite and chew. They also help to correct any speech issues commonly experienced by those missing teeth. You may find you are able to clearly pronounce your words and communicate with confidence thanks to your improved levels of speech.
Another great advantage is that, due to advances in modern dentistry, we are able to colour-match your dental implant to the shade of your remaining teeth for the perfect finishing touch. The results are flawless making your implant that much harder to distinguish from your other teeth.
If you find yourself contemplating the idea of having a dental treatment or smile makeover, we would be happy to arrange a visit with our dentist in Teddington to determine which treatments will work best for your desired smile goals.

Which SPF Should I Use For My Skin Type?
By Mary Basiadima, 30 April 2020
Let’s start with the basics. What does SPF stand for?
SPF stands for sun protection factor. It is a measure of how long a sunscreen will protect you from the sun’s rays. And yes, the higher the number is the more protection you get.
Let’s talk number…. 
If you would compare SPF 30 and SPF 50; the main difference between them is how often you need to apply your sunscreen.
And, no, that one time you used SPF last summer will not still protect your skin. You actually need to re-apply it if you are spending a long time under the sun and even in winter.
If you are using an SPF 30, you would probably want to re-apply it in 2 hours. On the other hand, SPF 50 would probably be still effective on your skin for up to 4 hours. (Please note that these estimates depend on your skin type. We will get there!)

But isn’t SPF 50 also stronger than SPF 30? 
Yes, it is. If SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB, SPF 50 blocks 98%. So, the difference is not that high, but the effective period is longer.
Well, that was easy, right? But wait. There’s more!
Not every sunscreen is the same. There are 2 main types of sunscreens; which are physical and chemical.
The difference is quite basic.
Best SPF for your skin type 
As we know, you can categorise your skin type as normal, dry, oily, combination skin. When it comes to SPF, we need to look at your skin more in-depth. Such as; acne-prone, mature, or ageing skin. And then you can choose the right SPF for your skin type.
If you don’t know your skin type, you can find it <here />


SPF for normal skin
For those who are lucky enough to have normal skin, every SPF would be suitable to use.
As we mentioned before, chemical sunscreens are more suitable for everyday use and easier to mix with your other skincare products and makeup.
All you need to decide is the strength of your SPF. Depending on the weather, if you are not going to spend much time outside, you can choose 15 SPF. But if you are planning to do some gardening under the sun, you can go up to 100 SPF!
You can re-apply your SPF as it is advised on the directions to use.
Expert recommendation; Mesoprotech light water antiaging veil 50+

SPF for oily skin
Midday shine, unsettling makeup, and the greasy look.
If you have oily skin, you must be already familiar with your foundation giving up, and your skin showing a thick layer of grease during the day.
Adding any physical sunscreen to oily skin would cause quite a discomfort and your skin may appear even greasier.
We would recommend you to choose a chemical sunscreen enriched with minerals, so your skin would stay matte during the day while getting protected by the sun’s harmful rays.
People with oily skin usually have the habit of cleaning the excess oil from their face during the day. If you are also doing the same thing, make sure to re-apply your SPF after clearing your skin.
Expert recommendation; Obagi Sun Shield Matte SPF50

SPF for dry skin
If you have dry skin, you would especially want to protect yourself from suntan.
When the skin burns, it loses its moisturise and gets dry. Often it makes the top layer of skin to peel off; which causes redness and pain.
For dry skin, we would recommend you to use a high-percentage sunscreen. Ideally, an everyday moisturiser which also includes sunscreen.
Alternatively, you can mix thick moisturiser with your sunscreen and apply. This way you can make sure your skin to absorb all the ingredients and prevent skin dryness.
If you are using an SPF specifically designed for dry skin, you should follow the directions of use to determine how often you should apply it. However if you are mixing your SPF with a moisturiser, you might want to re-apply it more often as mixing it with other creams will decrease its intensity.
Expert recommendation; OBAGI360 HydraFactor SPF30

SPF for combination skin
If you have combination skin, you are probably dealing with oily T-zone and dry cheeks areas. And different areas with different skincare needs, it can be frustrating to maintain your regimen.
If you would have the patience and budget, your ideal sun protection would be a mixture of products. However, it may not be the most convenient.
For the best results with easy maintenance, you can prefer SPF with a powdered finish with a thin layer. This way if you need to moisturise certain areas of your skin, you can mix SPF with your moisturiser. But also prevent the oil break and shiny look on your skin.
If you are using an SPF designed for combination skin, make sure to follow the directions to re-apply on the right time.
Expert recommendation; Mesoprotech mineral matt antiaging fluid 50+

SPF for acne-prone skin
You might think that using SPF or moisturisers will cause more acne breaks on your skin. But actually, it is quite the opposite.
Drying out your skin could cause more oil production, which leads to more acne breakouts. So you should make sure to protect your skin from suntan!
Choosing a sunscreen with high protection but without any oily residue would be the best option for your skin.
Also, make sure to use a non-comedogenic SPF which means that it will not cause acne.
Don’t forget to re-apply your SPF if you are spending a long period of time under the sun.
Expert recommendation; Mesoprotech mineral matt antiaging fluid 50+

SPF for ageing/ mature skin
As skin ages, it loses its ability to retain moisture. And it gets more likely to have hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles and brown spots.
And without a doubt, sun protection becomes a more important element.
For mature skin, we would recommend choosing an SPF with high percentage with an oil base, antioxidants and firming properties.
Expert recommendation;Mesoprotech nourishing antiaging oil 50+, Mesoprotech antiaging facial sun mist, and Obagi Professional‐C Suncare SPF30

Which ingredients you should look for in your SPF
As we recommend using SPF daily, it is important not to forget that this is a part of your skincare regimen. And you should make sure, the active ingredients of your SPF are good for your skin health.
We’ve listed some of the good ingredients our favourite brands are using.
Increases the presence of heat shock protein
Promotes elasticity and firmness
Prevents photo-ageing
 
Provides hydration at the epidermal level
Enhances the elasticity and firmness of tissues
 
Provides elasticity and nutrition
Strengthens the barrier function
 
Eliminates excess oil and shine
Leaves skin with a velvety matt finish
 
Provides antioxidant and anti-ageing
 
How much SPF should you apply?
Our founder and skin expert Lucy Xu explains; «For your face and neck, you can use your index finger to measure. Cream from your second knuckle to the tip of your finger is enough.»
 

Commonly missed areas with SPF
You should apply SPF to all parts of your skin where it gets direct sun exposure.
However, sometimes some parts of the body get missed.
If you have long hair, you might think it would be covering your neck at all times. But it is not correct. During the day, we get exposed to the sun’s rays from different angles. The sides of your neck can easily stay under the sun. Also, tying up your hair during the day may cause a sunburn on the back of your neck if you haven’t applied SPF.
Make sure to apply SPF to all your neck and not just on the front.
 
Just like the back of your neck, top and behind of the ears are often forgotten when it comes to sun protection. If you are spending long times under the sun, your ears may become an accidental burnt spot.
Wearing a hat is also an effective way to protect your skin from the sun’s dangerous rays. But remember, if you are wearing a baseball cap, it will not give your ears any protection.
 
The tops of your hands are especially exposed to the sun. While driving, cycling or gardening, your hands are very vulnerable to the sun unless you are wearing protective gloves.
And protecting your hands from the damaging sunburns can also prevent the signs of premature ageing such as sunspots and freckles.
 
You protect your face, and also remembered to apply SPF to all your neck. But what about the top of your chest, where your neckline meets your top?
Your skin on the top of your chest gets exposed to the sun more than you think.
So please remember to apply a generous amount of SPF to your chest where it is not covered with clothing.

Which SPF is the most suitable for your skin?
Your skin is unique, so should be your skincare.
If you have any questions about which skincare or SPF to prefer for your skin needs, we offer free e-consultations with our skincare experts.

Emerald fat loss laser, London
The Emerald laser fat remover is a pioneering, non-invasive technique for getting rid of unwanted fat deposits around the waist, hips, thighs and any part of the body where you have difficulty reducing fat. 
Emerald laser treatment incorporates ten 532-nanometer lasers, which decrease the content of fat cells in targeted areas of the body, without destroying or damaging the cells. 
The term ‘emerald’ comes from the green hue of the laser beams. 
Because the Emerald system delivers cold (non-thermal) laser «liposuction», there is no pain, side effects or downtime. You can continue with your everyday routine immediately after treatment.
Emerald laser fat loss is available at Harley Street and Colindale, London. You’ll have your treatment at one of our luxurious, award-winning aesthetic clinics, led by Dr Kaywaan Khan.

treatment benefits
Emerald laser treatment is non-invasive, with no downtime or side effects
As well as significantly reducing pockets of fat in the body (you could lose up to six inches in body fat), Emerald cold laser treatment has remarkable benefits for your wider health and wellbeing.
Emerald laser lipolysis treatment does not heat or freeze the treatment area, therefore it does not destroy or damage fat cells. The laser action triggers the cells to release their fatty content without harming the cell. 
When fat is released from the cells during non-thermal laser treatment, your body’s lymphatic system carries away the fat to be excreted naturally.
Emerald laser treatment is an excellent way to target small areas of the body where fat loss can be difficult, such as the neck, chin and knees.

Mitochondria produce energy for cells, so they are often referred to as a cell's powerhouse. They control immune responses, inflammation and healing
Non-thermal laser treatment is known for its positive effect on mitochondria and its ability to improve their function, reduce inflammation in the body and enhance overall wellbeing both physically and mentally. Many describe feeling even more energised after a course of treatments — this is particularly helpful if you’re on a weight-loss diet which can often make people feel lethargic.
The Emerald cold laser treatment also has a collagen-remodelling effect, which can improve the appearance of cellulite.

Emerald laser treatment is painless. Most patients feel nothing at all, a few may feel mild tingling
Laser lipo treatment usually takes around half an hour. Following treatment, you can resume your daily routine as normal.

I just wanted to share how thrilled I am with the long-term effects of the Emerald Laser at Hannah London. Whenever I go on holiday, I tend to put on a few pounds, and it used to take me weeks to shed them. Now, since having the Emerald treatment, I’ve noticed the weight comes off so much faster. I’m keeping up with daily body brushing and drinking more water. My cellulite has improved significantly, and I’m hoping to book another block of treatments soon. It’s been a game-changer.

I’m nearly at my goal weight thanks to the Emerald Laser at Hannah London. I haven’t really changed my routine besides increasing my water intake, but the treatment gave me the kick-start I needed. My thighs are now measuring 19 and 19.5 inches, which is a huge difference for me. I’m so grateful to the team for helping me feel confident again! Massive thanks!
The Emerald Laser treatment has genuinely focused my mind on achieving my goals, especially with all the helpful advice from Hannah London’s team. I’ve noticed an improvement in my shape, and I’m even considering a new wardrobe now. I’d encourage anyone thinking about this treatment to just go for it.
I’m delighted to share my experience with the Emerald Laser at Hannah London. The process is quick, completely painless, and the results have been incredible. I’ve lost a total of 7 inches, my skin looks firmer, and I feel so much more confident in my clothes. I highly recommend this treatment to anyone looking for an effective and comfortable way to shape up.
The science behind
Emerald cold laser treatment
Emerald laser treatment draws fat from cells using electromagnetic energy transfer
At the same time, the lasers emulsify (melt) the fat inside the cell. This enables the fat to be carried away and naturally disposed of by the body’s lymphatic system.
The action of the laser on the cells triggers the removal of fat from cells over time, this means that Emerald laser treatment stimulates fat loss both during and after the treatment.
Non-thermal laser treatment involves concentrated light that provides billions of photons of energy into the cells. This acts on the mitochondria in the cells to optimise cellular function
Emerald laser treatment can be used alongside other weight loss treatments to augment results
