The procedure is carried out on an outpatient basis under local anaesthetic. It is a minimally invasive procedure, which is best undertaken during the colder months, though this is not an absolute requirement.
There are no age or gender restrictions, but a consultation is always required to assess the patient’s suitability for the procedure.
The treated area is smoothed out, and no lengthy recovery period is required, as the procedure allows patients to resume their normal work routine immediately.
The procedure takes 15–30 minutes. By comparison, a microneedle radiofrequency aesthetic treatment takes 30–60 minutes.
