Gentlo RF microneedling is a CE certified and FDA approved skin remodelling treatment that pairs precision microneedling with radiofrequency energy. Developed by Hironic, the Gentlo device is built to encourage the skin’s own collagen and elastin production while supporting regeneration of damaged tissue, giving a gradual, natural looking improvement from within. At Modern Aestheticss, Gentlo RF microneedling is offered as part of a dermatologist led skin remodelling programme, and this guide walks through exactly how it works, what it treats, and what results look like.
What Is Gentlo RF Microneedling?
What separates Gentlo RF microneedling from standard microneedling is the addition of radiofrequency energy delivered through the same micro channels the needles create. This lets the treatment reach deeper dermal layers more precisely than mechanical needling alone, increasing the clinical effect while keeping downtime low. The Gentlo platform also integrates plasma technology alongside RF microneedling, offering a broader range of treatment capability in a single device than many other RF microneedling systems on the market.
How Does the Gentlo Machine Work?
The Gentlo device uses gold coated microneedles with adjustable penetration depths ranging from 0.5mm to 3.5mm. Both insulated and non insulated needle types are available, so the treating dermatologist can customise energy delivery to the exact area and concern being addressed. Once the needles reach target depth, bipolar radiofrequency energy is released, heating dermal tissue in a controlled zone around each needle tip. This produces two effects at once, an immediate tightening as existing collagen fibres contract, and a longer wound healing response that drives new collagen and elastin production over the following three to six months. The insulated needle design protects the surface skin throughout, which is why recovery is noticeably shorter than with ablative resurfacing.
What Does Gentlo RF Microneedling Treat?
Acne Scarring and Scar Revision
Gentlo RF microneedling is one of the most effective non surgical options for rolling scars, boxcar scars, hypertrophic scars, and surgical marks. Adjustable needle depth allows RF energy to be delivered directly into scar tissue, stimulating remodelling within the scar itself rather than only around it. Patients researching the best acne treatment in Dubai for post acne textural damage often find this among the most impactful non surgical options available.
Skin Laxity and Tightening
Loss of firmness across the face, jawline, neck, and decollete responds well to Gentlo RF energy, which contracts existing collagen immediately while building new collagen progressively over months. It is a well established alternative for patients wanting to address early jowling, neck laxity, or loss of facial definition without surgery.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
The collagen stimulation from Gentlo RF microneedling visibly softens the depth of fine lines, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. It is also suitable for the delicate eyelid area, which many other RF devices are unable to treat.
Enlarged Pores and Skin Texture
RF energy remodels the tissue around pore walls, reducing their visible size while refining overall texture, which is why patients with congested or uneven skin often see a smoother complexion after a full course of treatment.
Stretch Marks and Body Skin
The Gentlo platform’s interchangeable handpieces allow RF microneedling to be applied to body areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms affected by stretch marks, improving both colour and texture over a series of sessions.
Pigmentation and Sun Damage
When combined with the plasma handpiece, Gentlo RF microneedling can also help address pigmentation and sun damage by accelerating surface cell renewal alongside deeper skin regeneration.
Benefits of Gentlo RF Microneedling
- Firmer, tighter skin across the face, jawline, neck and decollete
- Reduced acne scarring, surgical scars, and textural irregularities
- Softer fine lines and wrinkles, including around the eyes
- Smaller looking pores and a more refined skin surface
- Improved facial contour with reduced jowling
- More even tone with reduced hyperpigmentation
- Gradual, natural results that build over weeks and months
The insulated gold coated needles used in Gentlo RF microneedling also reduce epidermal thermal exposure, which lowers the risk of post inflammatory pigmentation that can occur with higher energy laser treatments on medium to dark skin tones. This makes it a preferred option for patients with South Asian, Middle Eastern, and East Asian skin who want meaningful structural improvement safely.
Before and After: What to Expect
Immediately after treatment, skin looks red and slightly swollen, similar to mild sunburn, with pinpoint marks that resolve within 24 to 48 hours. Most patients return to normal activity within two to three days.
- Week one to two: redness resolves, skin feels tighter and slightly brighter
- Week four to six: collagen remodelling is underway, texture and pore size begin improving
- Month three to six: the fullest results appear as the collagen remodelling cycle completes
Most patients require three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart for optimal results, depending on the concern being treated.
Who Is Gentlo RF Microneedling Suitable For?
Gentlo RF microneedling suits adults noticing early laxity, textural change, enlarged pores, or fine lines, as well as those with acne scarring who have not achieved results from surface level treatments alone. It is generally not recommended during pregnancy, for active skin infections or inflammatory acne in the treatment area, or for patients with certain electronic implants. A dermatologist assessment confirms suitability and the right treatment parameters before any session goes ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Gentlo?
Gentlo is an advanced aesthetic device developed by Hironic that unifies RF microneedling with plasma technology in one system. It is CE certified and FDA approved for skin rejuvenation, tightening, scar revision, and tissue revitalisation.
How many Gentlo RF microneedling sessions are needed?
Most protocols recommend three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, with a maintenance session every twelve to eighteen months to sustain results.
Is RF microneedling better than Botox?
They address different concerns. Botox relaxes muscles to soften expression lines, while Gentlo RF microneedling stimulates collagen to improve firmness, texture, and scarring. Many patients benefit from both as complementary treatments.
How long do RF skin tightening results last?
Results typically remain visible for one to three years, since the treatment produces new structural collagen rather than a temporary effect. Consistent SPF use and periodic maintenance sessions help extend longevity.
Can saggy skin be tightened without surgery?
Mild to moderate laxity across the face, jawline, neck, and decollete can be meaningfully improved with Gentlo RF microneedling. Patients with more severe laxity are assessed individually and referred appropriately.
