Overview
Aphrodite – Fractional RF Microneedling
Aphrodite is the latest Fractional RF Microneedling device that combines Fractional RF and Microneedling to stimulate the body’s natural collagen and healing processes revealing firmer, rejuvenated skin. A gold-plated needle gently penetrates the skin to deliver Radio Frequency into the active dermal layers of the skin. The Radio Frequency heats at subdermal depths that provide cumulative and ongoing benefits of Collagen Stimulation, Skin Tightening, and Resurfacing. Because the RF energy is delivered so deeply, it can produce faster results that are more dramatic.

Pre Treatment Advice
- Avoid skincare containing retinols and exfoliants (such as salicylic acid, glycolic acid) pre-treatment.
- Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds and fake tans before and after your procedure for at least 1 week.
- Consider anti-viral medication pre-treatment if you have a history of cold sores.
- Ensure excessive facial hair and beards are clean shaved.
- Avoid applying perfumes or aftershave to the area on the day of treatment.
- Discuss any medical or aesthetic treatments that you are planning with your practitioner or therapist before treatment so these can be taken into consideration.
- If you are unwell on the day of your appointment, contact the practitioner or therapist to reschedule.
- Ensure your practitioner or therapist is informed if there are any changes to your medical history or medication taken before receiving any treatment.
- Do not plan to have treatment within 2 weeks of an important social event or holiday as this may not allow enough time for side-effects to settle or to have a review appointment.
Additional Information
Post Treatment Advice
After treatment, most people can resume their normal daily activities although immediately after fractional radiofrequency microneedling, there may be some redness, tenderness and swelling at the treatment site which can last up to 3 days. The skin may also feel dry which can be made more comfortable with the use of a moisturiser and a sun protectant needs to be used.
Many practitioners and therapist advise the following after treatment:
- Use hydrating skincare products, your practitioner or therapist can recommend suitable products.
- Avoid makeup for 24 hours and avoid touching the skin as much as possible.
- Avoid hot, humid conditions, sun exposure and sun beds.
- Ensure you are well hydrated after treatment.
- Avoid saunas, swimming pools and sunbeds until the initial swelling and redness has settled.
Contact your practitioner or therapist if you experience any unwanted side-effects.
