RF Microneedling: From Science to Practice

Exclusive evening for medical professionals | Wednesday, November 18

RF microneedling has quickly grown into one of the most requested treatments in aesthetic medicine. At the same time, the differences between systems and techniques are significant, and your patients are asking increasingly specific questions. How deep do you work? Which tissue do you heat exactly? And what does that choice mean for the long-term result?

On Wednesday, November 18, Prof. Firas Al-Niaimi and Dr. Stephan Marks bring science and daily practice together. They will cover the mechanism of action, treatment choice, indications, and integration into your treatment offerings. It promises to be an informative evening among peers, with room for discussion and a live demonstration of the Matrix system.

What you learn about RF microneedling

• How radio frequency behaves in the different skin layers, and why the layer you work on determines the result
• What real-time resistance measurement tells you about the position of the needle tip during treatment
• Indication setting in practice: which patient, which approach, and which expectation management
• How to position RF microneedling alongside injectables and other treatments

About the Matrix™ system

Matrix™ by Candela is a fractional bipolar RF platform that combines three treatment methods: Sublime, Sublative, and Matrix Pro. With this, you treat everything from superficial skin improvement to deeper remodeling with a single system.

Matrix Pro is the RF microneedling handpiece. During treatment, it continuously measures tissue impedance, so you know where the energy is landing and can tailor the treatment to your patient's skin. It is precisely this control that takes center stage this evening: in the presentations, the discussion, and the live demonstration.

The Speakers

Prof. Firas Al-Niaimi
Dermatologist with an international reputation in the field of lasers and energy-based devices, and one of the most prolific authors in this field. He regularly speaks at international conferences on the scientific basis of energy skin treatments.

Dr. Stephan Marks
Cosmetic physician (KNMG) and co-owner of the Clinic for Aesthetic Medicine in Amsterdam. He thoroughly researched the technique before making a choice and was the first in the Netherlands to work with Matrix Pro. This evening, he will demonstrate how that choice plays out in practice, from indication to result.
