Please note: In line with TGA regulations, we cannot provide detailed treatment information online; a consultation with a practitioner is required to assess your skin, discuss options and pricing, and create a personalised treatment plan specifically for you.

Radio-frequency Fractional Skin Resurfacing (FSR)

A consultation with one of our practitioners is required. During your comprehensive consultation, your practitioner will carefully assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and provide education around suitable treatment options. A personalised treatment plan will then be created to address your individual needs.

About the Endymed FSR Treatment

As the skin ages, cellular turnover slows and collagen fibres weaken, leading to visible textural changes, uneven pigmentation, fine lines, and loss of firmness. Fractional Skin Resurfacing with Endymed 3DEEP™ RF technology targets these concerns at both the surface and deeper dermal levels.

The treatment combines fractional epidermal resurfacing with deep volumetric dermal heating, creating thousands of  micro-columns of controlled thermal injury while stimulating long-term collagen and elastin regeneration. This dual action renews the outer skin layers and remodels the deeper structural matrix, which may result in smoother, tighter, and more luminous skin over the following weeks.

While the procedure is considered gentler than traditional ablative laser resurfacing, it is still a true resurfacing treatment with visible downtime and ongoing skin renewal. The energy delivery is controlled and precise, allowing your practitioner to tailor the depth and intensity according to your individual needs and tolerance.

How the Technology Works

Endymed’s 3DEEP™ RF technology uses six phase-controlled radiofrequency generators to deliver energy uniformly into the dermis. Unlike monopolar or bipolar RF systems, 3DEEP’s multi-electrode configuration focuses heat precisely at the desired depth, minimising surface overheating.

The FSR handpiece delivers this energy fractionally through a matrix of tiny columns of energy. Each pulse produces a pattern of micro-ablation points surrounded by zones of coagulation and heating. These microthermal zones trigger a powerful wound-healing cascade, stimulating new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production while resurfacing the top layer of skin for a smoother, more even finish.

The result is comprehensive dermal remodelling with improved elasticity, texture, and tone, and may reduce fine lines, enlarged pores, pigmentation, and mild scarring.

Why Choose RF Fractional Resurfacing?

While traditional fractional laser treatments rely on light energy, radiofrequency resurfacing uses electrical/heat energy to generate controlled heat within the skin, independent of pigment or water content. This means the treatment can be performed on a broader range of skin types and tones, with a reduced risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation (although this is still a risk and consideration). .

The Endymed FSR bridges the gap between non-invasive rejuvenation and intensive laser resurfacing , delivering results that are clinically visible while maintaining a more manageable recovery period.

Typical outcomes include:

  • Refined texture and reduction in visible pores

  • Improved tone and brightness

  • Reduction in fine lines and crepiness

  • Softer appearance of mild acne scarring and sun damage

  • Enhanced firmness and skin elasticity

FAQs

What does the treatment involve?

Following your consultation with our doctors, nurses or dermal therapists and the formulation of a treatment plan you will be booked in for your procedure. We ask that you arrive at least 30 minutes before your appointment so your skin can be prepared and a topical numbing cream can be applied to help minimise discomfort during the procedure.

 

Once the skin has been prepared, your practitioner will begin the treatment, which typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the areas being addressed. The radiofrequency handpiece is then moved evenly across the skin to deliver controlled energy.

 

The level and depth of energy can be adjusted by your practitioner to suit your individual skin concerns and treatment goals

 

The treatment is generally well tolerated, and you may feel warmth and heat as the radiofrequency energy is delivered to the skin. After the session, it’s common for the skin to appear red or feel warm, and temporary swelling can occur. In some cases, small pinpoint marks and crusting may be visible where the fractional energy has been applied, these typically settle as the skin recovers.

 

Your practitioner will apply soothing aftercare products and sunscreen to support skin comfort and protection following the procedure.

How long do results last?

Results are both immediate and progressive. Surface texture appears smoother within one week, while collagen remodelling continues for 3–6 months. Most clients complete an initial series of three treatments spaced four weeks apart, with maintenance once or twice a year. Improvements in collagen structure are long-lasting, though the skin continues to age naturally over time.

Your practitioner will advise you of the best treatment plan and determine the number of treatments you may require. 

What happens after my treatment?

Following the treatment, most clients experience mild discomfort. The skin may appear red or feel warm for a few hours after the procedure, with some redness possibly lingering for up to 48 hours or longer with more intense treatments. This can generally be covered with mineral makeup the following day.

Swelling can occur and usually subsides within a few days. Small, temporary pinpoint marks may also appear as part of the normal skin response – these typically settle as the skin renews itself. It’s important to avoid touching or scratching the skin during this time to allow for a smooth recovery. Infection can occur if the skin is scratched or touched too much during this time. 

Your practitioner will provide detailed aftercare advice to support comfort and to help you achieve the best outcome from your treatment.

What are the risks of treatment?

FSR downtime depends on the skin condition being treated and the intensity of the settings used. 

The FSR is a controlled resurfacing procedure with expected downtime and short-term inflammation. Possible risks include prolonged redness, swelling, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (especially in darker skin types), temporary hypopigmentation, infection, and, rarely, scarring or burns. Pre-treatment pigment suppression may be required for higher Fitzpatrick skin types.

Radiofrequency treatments are not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in individuals with pacemakers, metal implants, active infection, open wounds, or certain medical conditions such as uncontrolled autoimmune disease or cancer. All contraindications and precautions will be discussed during consultation.
