What Is Fractional RF (Radio Frequency) Technology?
Fractional Radio Frequency (RF) is a cutting-edge skincare technology that rejuvenates and tightens the skin using non-ionizing radiofrequency energy.
This energy gently heats the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production while keeping the surface intact. The result is firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin.
At Dr. Akbari Dermatology Clinic in Farmanieh, Tehran, this procedure is performed using the latest RF devices under the direct supervision of a skin specialist — ensuring safe, effective, and long-lasting results.
How Fractional RF Works on the Skin
- Cellular Mechanism and Collagen Activation
During the Fractional RF procedure, microneedles penetrate the skin to a controlled depth while releasing radiofrequency energy into the dermis.
This generates a mild, targeted heat of 55–65°C, which activates fibroblast cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin fibers.
- Role of Controlled Heat in Skin Rejuvenation
The controlled thermal energy stimulates internal tissue repair without harming the outer layer of the skin.
This process tightens existing collagen fibers and promotes the growth of new ones, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
Treatment Steps at Dr. Akbari Clinic
Step 1. Professional Consultation & Skin Analysis
Your dermatologist performs a detailed assessment of your skin type, age, wrinkles, scars, and pore size to customize the device settings for optimal results.
Step 2. Preparation & Topical Anesthesia
Before treatment, the skin is disinfected, and a numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Step 3. Fractional RF Microneedling
The RF handpiece gently glides over the target area.
The microneedles deliver precise radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis, triggering collagen remodeling and skin renewal.
Step 4. Skin Recovery & Collagen Regeneration
In the days following treatment, the skin begins to rebuild itself.
You’ll notice gradual improvements in firmness, texture, and elasticity as new collagen continues to form.
Specialized Applications of Fractional RF
1. Skin Tightening and Natural Lifting
Fractional RF effectively treats sagging skin on the face, neck, and décolleté by tightening collagen fibers and boosting elasticity.
2. Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
By stimulating new collagen, it smooths crow’s feet, smile lines, and forehead wrinkles for a refreshed appearance.
3. Acne Scar and Surgical Scar Treatment
RF energy penetrates deep to rebuild damaged tissue, significantly improving acne scars and surgical marks.
4. Minimizing Enlarged Pores
Increased collagen around hair follicles reduces pore size, giving the skin a smoother and more refined texture.
5. Brightening Skin Tone and Reducing Pigmentation
The rejuvenation process enhances microcirculation, helping to fade dark spots, sun damage, and uneven skin tone.
Key Benefits of Fractional RF at Dr. Akbari Clinic
- Performed by Board-Certified Dermatologist : All sessions are personally supervised by Dr. Akbari, ensuring precision, hygiene, and excellent results.
- Quick Results with Long-Term Improvement: Visible tightening often appears within 2 weeks, while full results develop over several months as collagen regenerates naturally.
- Minimal Downtime: Fractional RF is a lunchtime procedure — you can return to daily activities immediately with only mild, temporary redness.
- Safe for All Skin Types: Thanks to adjustable needle depth and RF intensity, this treatment is suitable for all skin tones, from light to olive.
Ideal Age and Timing for Fractional RF
Fractional RF can benefit adults of nearly any age, depending on their skin condition and goals.
- Best age range: 30–55 years — ideal for collagen stimulation and elasticity boost.
- Under 30: Helps treat acne scars, pores, and uneven texture.
- Over 55: Improves skin laxity and wrinkles with slightly more sessions.
Best Season to Perform Fractional RF
One major advantage of Fractional RF is that it can be safely done in any season.
However, autumn and winter are preferred because sun exposure is lower, reducing the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
In summer, be sure to use a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen and follow all aftercare guidelines.
Treatment Frequency and Maintenance
| Treatment Goal | Recommended Sessions | Interval |
|---|---|---|
| Skin rejuvenation & tightening | 3–4 sessions | Every 4 weeks |
| Acne scars or deep scars | 4–6 sessions | Every 4–6 weeks |
| Maintenance | 1 session | Every 6–12 months |
Consistent sessions help maintain long-lasting results and keep the skin youthful over time.
Immediately After Treatment
- Avoid washing your face for 6 hours.
- Apply cold compresses if redness or warmth occurs.
During the Following Days
- Use healing and soothing creams recommended by your doctor.
