Endymed Intensif RF

Endymed Intensif is a cutting-edge radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment that rejuvenates, tightens, and revitalises the skin from within. Combining gold-plated non-insulated microneedles with fractionated RF energy, this treatment targets the deeper layers of the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin, which are essential for firmer, smoother, and younger-looking skin.

What is Endymed RF Micro-Needling?


Endymed Intensif delivers focused RF energy through 25 gold-plated, non-insulated microneedles that penetrate the skin's surface to provide heat precisely into the dermal layers. This dual-action creates micro-injuries that initiate the body's natural healing process while heating the tissue to promote new collagen formation. The result? Visible skin tightening, improved tone and texture, and reduced signs of ageing.

Benefits of Endymed Intensif



Why Choose Endymed Intensif RF Micro-Needling?



More Effective Than Regular Micro-Needling


Combining micro-needling and radio frequency makes Endymed Intensif more effective than traditional micro-needling treatments. This unique technology allows for greater precision and efficacy, ensuring you receive the best possible results.

Conditions typically addressed with the Endymed Intensif handpiece:


Enhance Your Results with Combination Treatments


At Skin Renewal, we follow a doctor-led, combination treatment philosophy to maximise results. Endymed Intensif can be combined with:


Non-Insulated vs Insulated Needles: What You Need to Know


Skin Renewal uses a variety of needles for RF micro-needling treatments, offering insulated and non-insulated options with our Secret RF device. Endymed, however, exclusively provides non-insulated needles, which are ideal for ageing and skin tightening. These needles provide coagulation along the entire needle length, requiring only one pass, making the treatment efficient and effective.

Insulated needles are better suited for sensitive skin, rosacea, and melasma. They emit radio frequency solely at the tip, allowing multiple passes to target specific areas while minimising risks. This also means that the skin's surface is only mildly affected. At the same time, the energy is delivered deeper into the skin where the problem occurs and therefore, the risk of PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) is minimised.


What About the Morpheus Treatment?


The Morpheus8 treatment is also a minimally invasive procedure that rejuvenates the skin by combining microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy, resulting in an improved skin appearance.

Endymed RF Microneedling has several benefits over Morpheus8, especially for those with sensitive skin or concerns about hyperpigmentation. Key advantages include:

Overall, Endymed RF Micro-Needling is a highly customisable, versatile, and efficient treatment with minimal downtime, ideal for improving the appearance and texture of the skin.

questions

Are Endymed Intensif RF Micro-Needling treatments available at all Skin Renewal clinics?
How does Endymed Intensif work?

Endymed Intensif combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep within the skin. Gold-plated, non-insulated needles create micro-injuries while delivering controlled RF heat to the dermis. This dual action triggers a natural healing response, leading to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

What skin concerns can Endymed Intensif treat?

Endymed Intensif is highly effective for:

  • Deep wrinkles and expression lines
  • Skin laxity and sagging
  • Acne scars and post-inflammatory pigmentation
  • Stretch marks
  • Uneven skin texture and tone
  • Enlarged pores
  • It is suitable for face, neck, décolleté, and body use.
Is Endymed Intensif safe for all skin types?

Yes. One key advantage of Endymed Intensif is its suitability for all skin types, including darker skin tones. The non-insulated needles and adjustable RF energy settings allow for safe, targeted treatment with minimal post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) risk.

Does Endymed Intensif hurt?

A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to ensure comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild heat or a prickling feeling. Thanks to the tapered, gold-plated needle design and single-pass technique, discomfort is minimal compared to traditional RF microneedling.

How long is the downtime after Endymed Intensif?

Downtime is minimal. For 24 to 48 hours, you may experience mild redness and a warm, sunburn-like sensation. Most patients return to normal activities within a day. For 24 hours post-treatment, avoiding heat, strenuous exercise, and makeup are advised, as well as using high-SPF sunscreen.

When will you see results from Endymed Intensif?

Some patients notice subtle changes as early as 10–14 days post-treatment. However, as new collagen and elastin form, significant results typically develop over the next 6–12 weeks. Skin continues to improve for up to 3 months after your final session.

Can you combine Endymed Intensif with other treatments?

Yes, and it's encouraged! At Skin Renewal, we believe in combination treatments for superior outcomes. Endymed Intensif pairs well with:

  • Chemical peels
  • Photo Dynamic Therapy for healing and inflammation
  • Skin-specific serums to maximise post-treatment absorption
  • Laser Genesis for skin rejuvenation and texture
Are there any side effects or risks?

Endymed Intensif is considered low-risk. Temporary side effects may include:

  • Redness or flushing
  • Mild swelling
  • Sensitivity or warmth
  • Very rare bruising or pinprick marks
  • These effects typically subside within 1–2 days. Always follow post-care instructions to minimise risk and choose a medical aesthetic clinic with experienced practitioners.

I am always so impressed with the care and attention that I receive at Skin Renewal Ballito, from start to finish. The clinic is STUNNING, very modern with lots of natural light and a wall full of dozens of different brands of beauty and wellness products. The reception staff are so friendly and welcoming! Before your appointment, you fill in a questionnaire on an iPad to accurately categorise your skin type and facial needs. Taz is very tentative and thorough in explaining in detail what she was doing and what products she was using on my face. I always feel so relaxed and calm, I even fell asleep during one of my facials haha! I always get compliments on my glowy skin after my treatments, and my face and neck feel amazing. She answers any and all questions I have about my skin and recommended affordable products and a skincare routine for me and my skin has never been better. Taz is the only therapist that I'll be going to, indefinitely, forever. I'd follow her anywhere! I went for a Botox treatment with Dr Caitlin and was feeling very nervous because, in my experience, Botox feels like dozens of bees stinging your face. She is so friendly and has a calming nature and really put me at ease, and the treatment itself was quick and best of all, PAINLESS!! She chatted to me about aftercare and how to make the effects last longer, which included a quick zinc test. Thank you Skin Renewal Ballito for the excellent service, I will always 11/10 recommend your clinic for all skin care needs + more!
