3D Dermaforce

3D Dermaforce® Radiofrequency Microneedling

Dr Martyn King | Cosmedic Skin Clinic | Staffordshire

3D Dermaforce® is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall quality. It is an effective non-surgical treatment for skin ageing, laxity, scarring, and uneven skin tone.

By delivering controlled radiofrequency energy through ultra-fine microneedles, the treatment stimulates deep collagen and elastin remodelling within the skin. This dual-action approach helps to tighten, lift, and rejuvenate both the surface and deeper layers of the skin.

3D Dermaforce® is suitable for a wide range of facial and body concerns and is often used as part of a comprehensive skin regeneration programme.

How it works

3D Dermaforce® combines two powerful technologies:

Microneedling: Ultra-fine needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural wound-healing response. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin structure and texture.

Radiofrequency Energy: At the same time, radiofrequency energy is delivered deep into the dermis through the microneedles. This controlled heat:

• Tightens existing collagen fibres
• Stimulates new collagen formation
• Improves skin firmness and elasticity
• Enhances overall skin remodelling

Combined Effect: The dual-action treatment leads to both surface renewal and deep tissue tightening, making it particularly effective for ageing skin, scarring, and skin laxity.

Advice from Dr Martyn King

Dr Martyn King, Cosmedic Skin Clinic, Staffordshire

"Radiofrequency microneedling with the Dermaforce platform is a highly effective way of stimulating deep collagen remodelling while also improving surface skin quality. It is particularly useful for patients with early skin laxity, scarring, or textural concerns, and delivers progressive, natural-looking results when used as part of a structured treatment plan."
