Combine fine micro-needles with radiofrequency energy to remodel acne scars, refine pores and tighten skin from within.
MNRF — Microneedling Radiofrequency — pairs fine insulated needles with radiofrequency energy, delivering heat directly into the deeper layers of skin where scars, laxity and stretch marks actually live.
Unlike surface-level treatments, MNRF bypasses the epidermis almost entirely, so the energy goes exactly where it's needed — without the surface trauma of more aggressive lasers.
At Dermatonik, MNRF is most often used for acne scarring, enlarged pores and early skin laxity on the face, as well as stretch marks and crepey skin on the body.
Fine needles deliver radiofrequency energy directly into the dermis, bypassing the skin's surface entirely.
The RF energy gently denatures old, disorganised collagen and triggers fresh collagen and elastin production.
Needle depth and energy are tuned to the tissue level each concern needs — scars, pores or laxity are treated differently.
One technology, several concerns addressed together.
Remodels scar tissue from beneath, softening texture over successive sessions.
Tightens the tissue around pores so they appear visibly smaller.
Addresses early skin laxity on the face, neck and jawline.
Smoother, more even-looking skin as fresh collagen builds.
Also effective on body areas like the abdomen, thighs and arms.
A single technology, customised for whichever area needs it.
Acne & scarring — results shown are from Dermatonik's scar-revision protocols and may reflect a combination of treatments alongside MNRF.
Photographs shared with patient consent. Individual results vary; your dermatologist will set honest expectations at consultation.
Dr. Saeema Shiraaz assesses your scarring, pores or laxity and maps which areas need which needle depth and RF level.
A topical anaesthetic is applied for 20–30 minutes so the session is comfortable from start to finish.
The device is passed over the treatment area, delivering micro-needle and RF pulses. Expect warmth and light pressure.
Redness settles over 2–3 days. Sun protection is essential while new collagen forms underneath.

Every protocol is planned and supervised by Dr. Saeema Shiraaz — no junior staff experimenting on your skin.
We recommend what works for your skin, not whatever's trending — and we'll say so if a treatment isn't right for you.
Honest timelines, real costs, and no pressure to buy packages you don't need.
My acne scars are softer after just three sessions — and my pores look smaller too.

MNRF patient
Everything patients usually ask before their first MNRF session.
A numbing cream is applied beforehand. Most patients describe the sensation as warmth and pressure rather than pain.
Typically 3–4 sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart, though deeper scarring may need additional sessions.
Expect 2–3 days of redness and sensitivity, similar to mild sunburn. Makeup is usually fine after 24 hours.
Yes — it's commonly used for stretch marks and skin laxity on areas like the abdomen and arms, as well as the face.
Because RF energy doesn't target melanin, MNRF is generally considered safer for pigmentation-prone skin than some lasers — your suitability is confirmed at consultation.
Initial tightening can appear within weeks, while scar and texture improvements continue for 3–6 months as collagen rebuilds.
