RF Needling + HIFU for Skin Ageing: A Personal, Measured Approach
Written by: Rhonda Skiffington
-----
I’m Rhonda, a skin therapist at Kaiz Wellness Medispa. I’m 41 this year, and I’ve been having skin needling treatments since my early 30s—not to fix ageing, but to
slow it down before visible changes set in
.
Ageing happens gradually beneath the skin long before we see fine lines, sagging, or loss of firmness. That’s why a preventative, measured approach works best.
What Actually Happens to Skin as We Age
From our late 20s onward:
- Collagen and elastin production slows each year
- Skin becomes thinner and less resilient
- Facial support weakens, especially around the jawline
Clients often tell us:
“My skin doesn’t feel as firm anymore”
“My jawline looks softer”
“I want natural results without fillers”
Skincare alone can’t address these deeper structural changes.
Why We Use Zetta 3D Skin Analysis
Before recommending RF needling or HIFU, we assess your skin using Zetta 3D skin analysis.
Zetta allows us to:
- See beneath the surface of the skin
- Measure skin thickness and firmness
- Identify early collagen loss and structural sagging
- Track real progress over time, not just rely on photos
This removes guesswork and allows us to create a treatment plan based on what your skin actually needs.
RF Needling vs HIFU: What’s the Difference?
These treatments work at different depths, which is why they’re most effective when combined.
Radio Frequency Needling
Targets the skin layers to improve skin quality:
- Stimulates collagen and elastin
- Improves texture, pores, and firmness
- Strengthens skin for a healthier appearance
- HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
Targets deeper support layers:
- Lifts and tightens the lower face
- Defines the jawline
- Helps slow early jowling and facial sagging
Using Zetta, we can determine how much skin quality work versus lifting support is required—ensuring treatments are personalised, not one-size-fits-all.
Who RF Needling + HIFU Is Best For
This combination is ideal if you:
- Are in your 30s to 50s and noticing early ageing changes?
- Want firmer skin and jawline definition without injectables?
- Prefer natural, gradual, long-term results
- Want treatments guided by data, not assumptions?
What Results Can You Expect?
With a tailored plan guided by Zetta:
- Improved skin firmness and texture within weeks
- Gradual lifting and tightening over 2–3 months
- Stronger, healthier skin that continues to improve
- Results develop naturally as collagen rebuilds—this is not an overnight treatment, and that’s why outcomes look refined rather than obvious.
My Professional Recommendation
I choose RF needling and HIFU for myself because they support & long-term skin health, not short-term fixes. When combined with Zetta skin analysis, treatments become strategic, measurable, and far more effective.
At Kaiz Wellness Medispa, we assess your skin properly, explain what’s happening beneath the surface, and build a plan tailored to your skin, goals, and lifestyle.
If you’re curious about whether RF needling and HIFU are right for you, book a consultation and we’ll guide you through your Zetta results—clearly and honestly.
