MNRF Treatment at FMS Skin & Hair Clinics

MNRF is a innovative and latest cosmetic procedure which is simple, safe and minimally invasive. It causes minimum damage to superficial layers of the skin, while treating the deeper layers of the skin. It has a relatively lesser downtime. It is one of the best treatments for darker skin type.

It uses tiny needles to make multiple micro injuries on the skin and it uses these micro channels to deliver radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin. By this process, it helps in stimulating body’s natural response to stimulate collagen production which further tightens the skin resulting in healthier, smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.

MNRF is a multiple purpose procedure used in treating acne scars, surgical scars, wrinkles and fine lines, skin hyperpigmentation, sagging skin, stretch marks, skin rejuvenation, skin tightening, open pores etc.

MNRF Treatment Procedure:

  1. In your 1st appointment, thorough consultation is done by the dermatologist. Depending on your medical history, degree of scarring and type of skin, either single procedure or combination of procedures are advised.
  2. After examination, the face is cleansed with water and topical anesthesia is applied for 45mins
  3. After 45mins, the cream is wiped off. The parameters are set by the doctor 
  4. The microneedle cartridge is placed on the surface of the skin and then shot is delivered where the microneedles are penetrated into the skin. During the shot, RF energy is released through the tip of the needles into the deeper layers of the skin which induces dermal coagulation
  5. There might be mild oozing or bleeding which is controlled.
  6. Post procedure – antibiotic cream, followed by moisturiser and sunscreen are applied.

There may be mild redness and swelling, which subsides with in few hours. There will be formation of tiny scabs, which fall off in 3-5days. Further results will be due to stimulation of collagen and elastin which are required for the skin to look healthier and firmer. MNRF can be repeated once in 4 weeks and usually, 4 to 6 sessions might be required.

The equipment used is FRAXIS DUO – which is a combination of MNRF and CO2 laser. It is completely safe and FDA approved.
