About this procedure
A device that delivers RF thermal energy (40~60°C) to the desired depth (0.3~4.0mm) by inserting fine needles in a stamping manner. It is introduced as different from other RF microneedling due to its provision of a pulsed RF mode used for vascular lesions.
Who it's for
Individuals seeking improvement in redness, vascular lesions, pores, and elasticity.
Effect
Aimed at improving redness, pores, and elasticity, with effects varying by individual.
Procedure time
Varies depending on pin configuration and area. Approximately 75 minutes for full face based on 24 pins, but it is unclear whether this includes anesthesia time (individual device confirmation not possible).
Anesthesia
Topical (application is essentially mandatory — there is pain due to the nature of the procedure where fine needles penetrate the dermis).
Downtime
According to hospital data, average around 1 day (redness is explained to subside within 2-3 hours), but cannot be reconfirmed with primary manufacturer data.
Recommended stay in Korea
1-2 days (general guideline, hospital confirmation needed). Actual schedule should be finalized during hospital consultation.
Alternative procedures
