Frequently Asked Questions About RF Microneedling and HIFU with reLift
What is Radiofrequency Microneedling?
Radiofrequency Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that combines ultra-fine needles with radiofrequency energy. The needles penetrate the skin and deliver heat deep into the layers, preserving the epidermis—making it an ideal treatment for patients prone to pigmentation issues. It is also suitable for darker skin types, which may not be candidates for laser treatments.
This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in visibly firmer skin, improved texture, and reduced wrinkles and scars. The treatment is recommended for:
- Skin rejuvenation: Reduces wrinkles and improves skin elasticity
- Pore reduction: Refines skin texture
- Scar treatment: Reduces acne and surgical scars
- Firming & lifting effect: Improves overall skin structure
- Pigmentation & skin irregularities: Brightens and evens out skin tone
While traditional microneedling works mechanically, RF Microneedling takes it a step further. The controlled heat energy deeply stimulates skin regeneration, delivering faster and more effective results.
What is HIFU?
HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, an advanced technology that precisely heats deep skin layers to stimulate collagen production.
Unlike many cosmetic treatments that only affect the superficial layers of the skin, HIFU penetrates to the SMAS layer (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System, approximately 4.5 mm deep)—the same layer that is tightened during surgical facelifts.
How Does HIFU Work?
- Ultrasound energy is precisely directed into deep skin layers
- Heat points (65–80 °C) stimulate collagen and elastin production
- The skin naturally tightens and regenerates
- No incisions, needles, or downtime required
Result: A long-lasting lifting effect that improves over several months.
What Makes Our reLift Device Unique?
reLift is more than just RF Microneedling – it’s a 2-in-1 revolution for skin tightening and rejuvenation!
The combination of RF Microneedling and High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) makes reLift one of the most powerful systems on the market.
- Precision & Customization
reLift offers precise treatment depth adjustments in 0.1 mm increments, allowing for the highest level of customization for various skin concerns—from fine lines to deep scars.
- Pain-Reducing Vacuum Technology
Unlike conventional RF Microneedling devices, reLift features an integrated vacuum that gently secures the skin, reducing discomfort and increasing treatment precision.
- Maximum Depth Penetration – From Epidermis to SMAS Layer
While standard microneedling devices reach only 2 mm deep, reLift’s HIFU technology penetrates up to 4.5 mm—the same depth targeted in surgical facelifts.
- Dual Collagen Stimulation with RF & HIFU
By combining RF Microneedling (for superficial and mid-layer skin) with HIFU (for deeper layers), collagen production is maximized, delivering long-lasting skin tightening and firming.
- Faster Recovery – Minimal Downtime
Thanks to precise energy delivery and controlled depth targeting, skin heals faster than with comparable procedures.
Who is a Good Candidate for RF Microneedling and/or HIFU with reLift?
RF Microneedling is ideal for:
- Individuals with sagging skin or wrinkles
- Patients with acne scars or surgical scars
- People with enlarged pores or uneven skin texture
The combination of RF Microneedling & HIFU is ideal for:
- Anyone seeking a non-invasive facelift alternative
- Individuals with stretch marks or skin laxity
HIFU alone is ideal for:
- Those looking for a non-surgical facelift option
- Skin tightening treatments with zero downtime
Frequently Asked Questions About RF Microneedling and HIFU with reLift
Is the treatment painful?
Thanks to reLift’s innovative vacuum technology, most patients experience only a mild tingling or warming sensation. A numbing cream or strong air cooling can further minimize discomfort.
How long does a session take?
Depending on the treatment area, sessions last between 30 and 90 minutes. Facial treatments typically take 60 minutes.
How is HIFU different from RF Microneedling?
- RF Microneedling uses fine needles to stimulate collagen production in the middle skin layers and is also used for scar treatment.
- HIFU penetrates deeper (without needles) into the SMAS layer, delivering a stronger lifting effect.
- Downtime: RF Microneedling causes mild redness for 1–2 days, whereas HIFU has no downtime.
- For maximum anti-aging results, both methods can be combined in a customized protocol.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice immediate improvements after RF Microneedling, with full effects developing 4–6 weeks after the final session. HIFU results take 2–3 months to fully manifest. The gradual effect ensures a natural-looking transformation.
How many sessions are needed?
For optimal results, four sessions are recommended, spaced 3–4 weeks apart. Some patients may require additional treatments for desired results.
What does the treatment cost?
- RF Microneedling (Face): €550 per session
- RF Microneedling + HIFU (Face): €715 per session
- Package (4 Sessions):
- RF Microneedling: €1,870
- RF Microneedling + HIFU: €2,430
Individual zones like eyes, neck, perioral area, or décolleté can also be treated separately.
What is the treatment process?
- Arrive 30 minutes early for documentation with a specialized aesthetic camera and numbing cream application.
- Step 1: Skin cleansing & disinfection.
- Step 2: If HIFU is included, it is performed first.
- Step 3: RF Microneedling treatment.
- Step 4: Application of antioxidants, vitamins, and a soothing mask + SPF protection.
How long do results last?
Thanks to deep collagen stimulation, results last 6–12 months. Regular maintenance treatments prolong effects.
Can this be combined with other aesthetic treatments?
Yes! reLift treatments pair well with biostimulators and laser treatments. The best approach is to do reLift first, followed by fillers or other injectables later. We offer customized treatment plans based on your needs.
Post-Treatment Care:
- No sun exposure for 2 weeks
- Use gentle skincare & hydration
- Avoid makeup for 24 hours
- No sauna or intense exercise for 48 hours
