How radiofrequency microneedling works
The principle behind this treatment is based on an intelligent dual function. During the procedure, gold-plated micro-needles gently penetrate the dermis. At the moment of maximum penetration depth, a precise radiofrequency pulse is emitted. This generates controlled heat directly in the deeper layers of the skin, where the collagen and elastin fibres are located.
At The Eram Clinic, we use this thermal stimulus to trigger what is known as ‘collagen shrinking’ – an immediate contraction of the fibres that provides an initial tightening effect. Far more important, however, is the long-term effect: the combination of micro-injuries and heat sets off a massive regeneration cascade. Over the following weeks, the body produces new, high-quality collagen. This makes the skin thicker, firmer and more resilient. As we can precisely tailor the depth and intensity of the pulse to your skin type, the procedure is ideal for treating wrinkles, sagging contours, acne scars and even stretch marks.
Precision and comfort: the procedure
Every treatment at our Zurich clinic begins with a computer-assisted skin analysis to determine the individual needs of your tissue. Because your comfort is important to us, a highly effective anaesthetic cream is applied before radiofrequency microneedling. This makes the treatment extremely painless and well tolerated. We glide over the areas of the face, neck or décolleté with a special handpiece.
A decisive advantage over conventional lasers is that it protects the epidermis (outer skin). As the heat is only emitted at a deeper level, the skin surface remains largely intact. This minimises downtime and makes the treatment safe even for darker skin types. Immediately after needling, the skin's ability to absorb active ingredients is greatly increased. At The Eram Clinic, we often use this moment to introduce highly concentrated serums or the body's own plasma (PRP), which further enhances the regenerative results. The face appears plumper and more vital shortly after the session, while the full potential of skin tightening unfolds over the coming months.
Why radiofrequency microneedling at The Eram Clinic is an excellent choice
Choosing RF needling at our clinic means choosing state-of-the-art medical technology and aesthetic expertise. We use the latest generation of systems, which allow precise control of energy delivery and thus guarantee maximum safety.
At The Eram Clinic, the focus is on natural-looking results: we achieve tightening and refinement that leaves your individual facial expressions unaffected and does not make your face look ‘treated’. You are investing in a procedure that turns back the biological clock of your skin cells and gives you a texture that gains in evenness and luminosity. The exclusive ambience of our clinic also ensures that you can enjoy the treatment as a luxurious break for your skin.

- Minimal downtime: Gentle procedure for the skin surface with rapid social reintegration.
- Safe for all skin types: Low risk of pigmentation changes thanks to targeted deep action.
| Duration of treatment | Approximately 45–75 minutes |
| Onset of effect | Immediate effect due to tightening, final result after 3–6 months |
| Recommended course of treatment | 3 sessions at intervals of 4–6 weeks |

| Social compatibility | Usually restored after 24 hours |
Holistic skin care: synergies and aftercare
At The Eram Clinic, we consider radiofrequency microneedling to be a central component of a comprehensive anti-ageing concept. The procedure can be ideally combined with other therapies. Prior dental hygiene ensures your smile is perfectly radiant, while complementary treatments such as botulinum toxin or hyaluronic acid injections smooth out expression lines and compensate for loss of volume.
Aftercare following RF needling is straightforward. Slight redness may occur in the first 24 hours, resembling a mild sunburn. We provide you with specific care instructions and sun protection recommendations to optimally protect your freshly regenerated skin. In the days following the treatment, you should refrain from going to the sauna and engaging in intensive sports. In our modern practice in Zurich, we guide you through the entire process and create an individual treatment plan – usually three sessions at intervals of four to six weeks are ideal to achieve lasting and impressive results.

Frequently asked questions about radiofrequency microneedling
Conventional microneedling stimulates the skin purely mechanically. The radiofrequency variant adds thermal energy, which penetrates deeper into the dermis. This significantly intensifies the tightening effect and also reaches deeper tissue layers, which makes a big difference, especially for sagging contours.
Thanks to the anaesthetic cream applied beforehand, most patients only feel a slight pressure or a spot of warmth. At The Eram Clinic, we attach great importance to making the procedure as comfortable as possible for you.
An initial boost of freshness and slight firming are often visible after just a few days. However, as collagen regeneration is a biological process, the skin's appearance continues to improve steadily over the next two to six months.
The skin will be reddened immediately after treatment and may be slightly swollen. These symptoms usually subside within 24 to 48 hours. Special medical make-up can often be used to conceal redness the very next day.
Yes, at The Eram Clinic, we also use it very successfully to treat areas such as the décolleté, upper arms and stomach to reduce stretch marks and improve skin elasticity.
