Skin that is losing firmness, acne scars that will not fade, enlarged pores, stretch marks on the abdomen or thighs — these are structural skin concerns, not surface issues. A cream alone cannot correct them.
The change needs to happen deeper, in the dermis, where collagen is found. Fractional microneedling RF does exactly this. Fine, insulated microneedles deliver radiofrequency at a controlled depth. Controlled micro-injury and heat stimulate the skin to remodel and produce new collagen and elastin. The result is not immediate — it develops over weeks — but it is real and long-lasting. Below, you will find everything worth knowing before your first visit.
a series of 3–5 treatments every 4–6 weeks
How it works
Fractional microneedling RF combines two mechanisms in a single pass of the applicator. First, fine microneedles enter the skin at a precisely selected depth. On their own, they create tiny channels that trigger natural regeneration. At the same time, the needle tips deliver radiofrequency (RF). This heats the dermis and creates targeted, controlled thermal micro-injuries.
This heat is key. The skin recognises it as a signal that it needs to rebuild and begins producing new collagen and elastin. Over the following weeks, skin becomes denser and firmer, with a smoother texture. Most importantly, the needles are insulated, so the energy works deep within the skin rather than on the epidermis. This protects the skin surface and makes the treatment well tolerated.
Did you know? In the INDERMO device, the microneedle electrodes are coated with 24-carat gold. This is not decorative, but functional. Gold conducts electricity very well while insulating the epidermis. This means radiofrequency is activated only deep within the skin, exactly where it needs to support collagen.
Ideal for
This treatment supports skin quality and firmness — it does not replace diet, exercise or fat reduction. It works best as part of a considered plan, selected during consultation for your skin and goals.
Women’s and men’s zones
The most common goal is firming and smoothing the skin — on the face and body, in areas that have lost firmness after weight fluctuations or pregnancy. This is classic fractional microneedling RF for women. The skin is thinner and more delicate, so gentler settings are selected and the series is planned for a gradual, natural result.
The areas we support
Men most often come with acne scars and uneven skin texture on the face, as well as body laxity after weight loss or training. This is fractional microneedling RF for men. The skin is thicker and more resistant, so the needles often work deeper. The result is firm, “masculine” skin rather than perfectly smooth skin.

Safety
Fractional microneedling RF breaks the skin barrier, so the result and safety depend on technique and hygiene. It is worth asking about this at every salon:
At J'adore, the treatment is performed by an experienced cosmetologist, who assesses your skin, selects the needle depth and radiofrequency power, and rules out contraindications. This is not an off-the-shelf treatment — settings are selected individually.
The needles come into contact with blood — the cartridge is single-use (one treatment, one person). This is fundamental to safety. You have the right to ask about it and to see it being unpacked in front of you.
One depth is used for pores, another for a deep scar or stretch mark. A good cosmetologist explains why specific settings are selected for a given zone.
A red flag: “lifting after one treatment” and a suspiciously cheap package · Fractional microneedling RF is a treatment whose result builds over weeks and requires a series. Promises such as “spectacular results after one session”, “stretch marks will disappear completely”, or a very cheap package without consultation are warning signs. With a treatment that breaks the skin barrier, the origin of the equipment, cartridge sterility and the qualifications of the person performing it matter as much as the price. You have the right to ask about the device, whether the needles are single-use, and who performs the treatment — a good salon will answer without hesitation.

Contraindications
Microneedling RF breaks the skin barrier, so the same rules apply as for any needle treatment. Some contraindications are permanent, while others are temporary. In these cases, we simply postpone the treatment until the issue has passed.
From the cosmetologist’s salon
The most commonly overlooked issue is cold sores. Some people think: ‘I have one on my lip, but my treatment is on my abdomen — it does not matter.’ It does matter. An active virus combined with broken skin is a real risk, regardless of where it appears. It is better to postpone for a few days and have the treatment without concern.
This is not a complete list. We review your medication, conditions, implants and previous treatments individually during consultation.
What to expect
Most importantly: you will not see the result immediately. Straight after the treatment, the skin is red and tight — this is not yet the result, but a response to stimulation. The true change — denser, firmer, smoother skin — appears over the following weeks as the skin produces new collagen.
Some people write after two days: ‘My skin looks the same, nothing is happening.’ This is completely normal — fractional microneedling RF works beneath the skin, and collagen production takes weeks. That is why we assess the result after a few weeks, not the next day. It is also why we plan a series — one treatment is a starting point, not the full process.
The result builds with each treatment in the series and lasts for months. Skin continues to age, so it is worth repeating the treatment after some time. This can be a single session or a mini-series to maintain firmness — but the benefits of the collagen already built remain.

Fractional microneedling RF and your lifestyle
The most common questions are not about the treatment itself, but what happens afterwards: exercise, sauna, sun, swimming pool, make-up. The rule is simple — during the first few days, the skin has needle microchannels and is healing. Avoid anything that may irritate or heat it, or pose a risk of infection.
After the treatment, avoid intense exercise for 1–2 days. Sweat and increased circulation can irritate freshly punctured skin and intensify redness. You can return to gentle movement soon afterwards.
High temperatures dilate blood vessels and intensify swelling. With open needle channels, they also increase the risk of irritation. Use the sauna and hammam only once the skin has healed.
This is crucial: freshly treated skin is prone to hyperpigmentation. Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for around 2 weeks. Use SPF 50+ every day — without it, the result may be compromised.
Chlorinated or public water poses a risk of irritation and infection when needle microchannels are present. We postpone swimming until the skin has fully healed.
Alcohol dilates blood vessels and increases redness and the risk of bruising — it is best avoided on the day of treatment and the following day.
For the first few days, use only gentle products without acids, retinol or peels. You can usually apply make-up from the following day, once the skin has healed — confirm the exact timing with your cosmetologist.
Fractional microneedling RF (Elysses/INDERMO)
There are several options for skin laxity and skin quality. They often complement rather than exclude one another. The simplest way to understand them is by how they deliver energy to the skin:
needles + radiofrequency energy at depth
does not reduce fat tissue or replace a diet; works gradually, not immediately
focused ultrasound, without disrupting the skin
less effective for skin texture, scars and pores than microneedling
light energy, acting on the epidermis and deeper layers
some lasers involve longer downtime and have limitations for tanned skin
Combine with
Fractional microneedling RF works well with other treatments. This is especially useful where volume, circulation or hydration need support, as it does not provide these on its own. Your cosmetologist decides on the order and intervals during consultation, but the general approach remains consistent:
We do not apply strong acids or retinol to freshly needled skin. We schedule stronger peels and exfoliating treatments after microneedling RF, not immediately before.
The most common thing I hear is: ‘I want fractional microneedling RF to lose weight from my abdomen.’ This is not that treatment — fractional microneedling RF firms the skin, but does not remove fat tissue. If volume is the issue, we select a different solution, such as cryolipolysis or muscle stimulation. We then add fractional microneedling RF for skin laxity, which often remains after weight reduction.
Devices and applicators
Microneedling RF is not one ‘universal’ treatment. Results depend on the device, cartridge type (applicator) and selected depth. You do not choose an applicator ‘off the shelf’ — the cosmetologist selects it for the area, concern and thickness of your skin.
Insulated needles coated with 24-carat gold. Radiofrequency works deeper in the skin, not on the epidermis — the treatment is well tolerated and suitable for people with a tan.
Dla kogoFirmness, pores and facial skin texture, fine lines.
A smaller applicator for delicate areas. It allows precise work on the delicate skin around the eyes.
Dla kogoEye area — tightening and smoothing of delicate skin.
A larger applicator for larger areas. It covers extensive zones more efficiently.
Dla kogoAbdomen, thighs, arms — body laxity and stretch marks.
A contact cartridge for the most delicate, superficial work and fractional mesotherapy. It gently smooths the epidermis.
Dla kogoGentle finishing, superficial fractional mesotherapy.
A device with insulated needles and precise depth selection. Targeted thermocoagulation stimulates collagen rebuilding.
Dla kogoAcne scars, stretch marks, laxity — face and body.
Fact: Some microneedling RF devices use vacuum, which gently presses the applicator against the skin. This improves comfort and reduces the risk of bruising. All cartridges are single-use and sterile.
