Microneedling, particularly RF microneedling, is one of the core treatments within Portofino Aesthetic Clinic’s skin rejuvenation category. It works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin combined with radiofrequency energy, prompting the body’s natural healing response to produce new collagen and elastin. This makes it especially effective for improving acne scarring, enlarged pores, uneven texture and mild skin laxity concerns that surface-level treatments often can’t fully address. At Portofino, a doctor assesses skin type and scar pattern before determining treatment depth and intensity, including whether Potenza RF Microneedling is appropriate for deeper or more targeted cases, so the approach is matched to the individual rather than applied as a fixed protocol.
Skin rejuvenation at Portofino brings together several treatments that work toward the same goal: improving skin quality, texture and radiance through medically guided, non-surgical care. Alongside RF microneedling, this includes HydraFacial for cleansing, exfoliation and hydration; chemical peels for pigmentation and texture; LED light therapy to support healing and calming; and collagen induction therapy to stimulate the skin’s own repair processes. Each treatment is selected based on what a patient’s skin actually needs, informed by a doctor-led assessment rather than a standard menu — reflecting Portofino’s broader approach of building treatment plans around the person, not just the procedure.
The cost of various microneedling treatments in Portofino Clinic varies depending on the procedure, the area treated, the products or devices used, and the number of sessions required.

Have questions about our Microneedling Treatments?
Microneedling is a skin treatment that combines fine needling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate the skin's own collagen production. It's commonly used at Portofino Aesthetic Clinic in Dubai Silicon Oasis for acne scarring, enlarged pores, and mild skin laxity.
Most patients describe microneedling as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful, particularly with a topical numbing agent applied beforehand. Sensitivity varies by individual and treatment depth your doctor will discuss what to expect for your specific plan.
Downtime is generally short, often limited to redness and mild sensitivity for a day or two, though this varies with treatment depth and skin type. Your doctor will confirm expected downtime before you proceed.
This depends on your specific concern acne scarring and skin laxity typically require a short course of sessions spaced several weeks apart, rather than a single treatment. Your doctor sets a session plan based on your skin during consultation.
