EXFU Microneedling
Microneedling (Non‑RF) – Gold‑Plated Precision
Overview & Technology
Aeternitas Microneedling uses gold‑plated sterile cartridges to create thousands of controlled micro‑channels in the skin. Unlike home rollers or low‑grade pens, medical‑grade microneedling offers precise depth control and consistent penetration, stimulating fibroblasts to trigger collagen and elastin synthesis. Because no heat or RF energy is applied, this treatment is ideal for clients who are heat‑sensitive, prone to acne, or seeking minimal downtime.
Key Benefits
- Improves overall skin texture, tone and radiance.
- Softens fine lines and early wrinkles.
- Helps manage acne and post‑acne irregularities.
- Reduces the appearance of scars and post‑inflammatory marks.
- Treats stretch marks on body zones (abdomen, thighs, arms, breasts).
- Stimulates natural collagen renewal without added heat or energy.
- Minimal downtime compared with more invasive procedures.
How It Compares
Compared with home rollers or cosmetic dermapens, medical‑grade microneedling ensures sterility, precise depth control, and superior stimulation of dermal repair. Home devices often create irregular, shallow channels that risk tearing the skin.
Against RF microneedling systems such as Morpheus8, Secret RF or Sylfirm X, non‑RF microneedling avoids thermal injury, making it preferable for acne‑prone skins, sensitive phototypes or clients seeking zero heat exposure. While EXFU RF Microneedling offers more powerful remodelling, non‑RF provides a gentler, safer option for those concerned with downtime or contraindications to energy‑based devices.
Treatment Process
Skin is cleansed and a topical anaesthetic may be applied for comfort. The gold‑plated cartridge is then used in patterned passes at tailored depths to stimulate controlled healing. Soothing serums are applied post‑procedure. For enhanced recovery, Cold Hammer Cryo‑therapy or Dermalux LED can be added immediately afterwards.
Typical Treatment Times
- Face: 30–45 min (+optional 20 min numbing)
- Body stretch marks (per zone): 30–45 min
Progressive Results
An immediate glow and smoother feel is often noticed within days. Collagen stimulation builds over 6–10 weeks, with cumulative improvements after a course. Typical plan: 3–4 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart. Maintenance is usually every 6–12 months.
Treatment Recommendations
Early texture changes or mild scarring: 2–3 sessions may suffice.
Stretch marks and more established acne scarring: 3–4 sessions at 4‑week intervals.
Ongoing maintenance or combination with HIFU or RF treatments can further enhance results.
Aftercare
- No make‑up for 24 hours; gentle cleanser and moisturiser only.
- SPF 30+ daily; avoid direct sun and heat for 1–2 weeks.
- Avoid retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, vitamin C or exfoliants for 5–7 days.
- Keep skin hydrated and avoid picking or scratching treated areas.
Contraindications
- Active acne, infection or open wounds in the treatment area.
- Eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis flare‑ups.
- History of keloids or poor wound healing.
- Recent isotretinoin use (within 6–12 months).
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Risks & Side Effects
- Transient redness, mild swelling or pinpoint bleeding (hours to 48h).
- Dryness or light flaking over the following days.
- Rare: post‑inflammatory hyperpigmentation (minimised with SPF).
- Very rare: infection if aftercare not followed.
Suitability
All genders welcome. Safe across Fitzpatrick I–VI with conservative depth adjustments for darker skin tones. Particularly suitable for acne‑prone skins, younger clients, and those with heat‑sensitivity who cannot undergo RF.
Pricing (from)
- Face: from £180
- Stretch marks (per zone): from £220
- Consultation: £50 (deducted on booking)

EXFU MICRONEEDLING NON-RF – COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY
About the Condition & Core Causes
Skin gradually loses structure and smoothness as collagen and elastin networks weaken. Fine lines, enlarged pores, and rough texture form where cellular turnover has slowed. Past acne, environmental stress, and dehydration further impair dermal renewal. While surface creams hydrate temporarily, they cannot stimulate deep fibroblast repair or rebuild collagen scaffolding. Collagen induction microneedling reawakens the skin’s natural regeneration cycle.
Core Scientific Principle
Microneedling uses a sterile cartridge of ultra-fine gold-plated surgical needles to create controlled micro-channels within the epidermis and upper dermis. These micro-injuries activate the body’s innate wound-healing cascade, releasing growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). Fibroblasts respond by synthesising new collagen and elastin fibres, strengthening the dermal matrix. The Aeternitas EXFU system maintains precise depth (0.25–2.5 mm) and linear motion for uniform channel creation without tearing or drag.
Treatment Overview
A scientifically controlled skin-renewal treatment that stimulates collagen without heat or energy output. Ideal for clients seeking smoother texture, scar softening, and general rejuvenation with minimal downtime. The procedure enhances serum absorption and improves dermal density over time.
Clinical Insight – Aeternitas Interpretation
Aeternitas employs CE-certified gold-plated cartridges for superior conductivity, sterility, and biocompatibility. Needle depth and oscillation speed are digitally calibrated per zone to prevent micro-tearing. Devices are operated under the Aeternitas Laser & Device Compliance Framework and audited quarterly for mechanical precision. Associates hold Microneedling Clinical Certification and infection-control clearance under LPA-registered oversight.
Treatment Benefits
• Stimulates natural collagen and elastin synthesis
• Smooths fine lines and refines texture
• Reduces scarring and pore visibility
• Enhances radiance and product penetration
• Safe for all skin tones with minimal downtime
Suitable Conditions
Primary – Acne scarring, texture irregularities, fine lines, enlarged pores, post-inflammatory marks.
Secondary – Uneven tone, mild laxity, loss of radiance, early sun damage.
Preventative – Regular collagen maintenance to preserve youthful firmness before visible ageing
Treatment Experience
After cleansing, a numbing serum is applied. The gold-plated cartridge glides gently across the skin, producing a light prickling sensation. Mild erythema follows for several hours and resolves within 24 h. Sessions last 45–60 minutes.
Safety, Recovery & Regulation
All consumables are single-use. Devices are sterilised and documented within the Aeternitas Hygiene & Calibration Log. Associates monitor needle depth in real time and follow MHRA infection-control guidance. No downtime beyond transient redness.
Comparison to Other Beauty Treatments
Unlike dermal rollers that cause uneven puncture angles, EXFU microneedling uses vertical oscillation for controlled precision. Compared with RF microneedling, it induces collagen mechanically rather than thermally—ideal for clients preferring a heat-free option or those contraindicated for RF.
Result Longevity & Maintenance
Visible improvement appears after 2 weeks as fibroblast activity increases. Collagen maturity peaks at 8–12 weeks. Maintenance every 3–4 months sustains smoothness and elasticity.
Photographic Evidence & Consent
Pre- and post-procedure images document scar and texture change. Records are retained under GDPR-compliant Aeternitas Clinical Photography Protocol.
Future Technology
Will integrate into the EXFU EP Fusion concept, combining no-RF microneedling with electroporation and cryo-serum infusion for enhanced penetration and recovery.
Recommended Course
Three sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance twice yearly.
Men vs Women
Men: improves shaving-related scarring, coarse pores, and uneven tone from sun exposure; energy depth adjusted deeper for thicker dermis.
Women: refines texture, softens expression lines, enhances glow; depth adjusted shallower for thinner mid-cheek tissue. Both experience lasting firmness and even tone.
Lifestyle & Psychological Insight
Adequate hydration, vitamin C intake, and consistent SPF accelerate collagen formation. Clients often describe renewed confidence as smoother, clearer skin replaces roughness and scars.
Aftercare & Contraindications
Avoid makeup, heat exposure, and active skincare acids for 24–48 h. Use sterile hydration serum and SPF 50.
Contraindications: pregnancy, active infection, open wounds, keloid tendency, recent filler (< 2 weeks), anticoagulant use.
