Do you want firmer skin without scars? Find out how EndyMed Intensif radiofrequency works and what results you can obtain without surgery and with a quick recovery.
The problems we meet most often in the clinic are post-acne scars, in dermatology consultations, and slack, sagging skin forming folds in the nasogenian and jaw areas (jowls), in aesthetic consultations. We are always looking for effective procedures with a short recovery time, which let us carry on with our daily lives.
Fractional radiofrequency (RF) is a state-of-the-art method that meets all these conditions and is used with striking results for both categories of problem; more than that, it also improves the texture of the skin, giving it radiance and tone.
EndyMed 3 DEEP Intensif is the minimally invasive technology that has revolutionised the aesthetic market thanks to its working principle, to the fact that it addresses several layers of skin, and to the excellent results obtained after treatment.
EndyMed Intensif fractional radiofrequency in brief
- it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin through radiofrequency microneedling
- it acts deep in the dermis, without significantly affecting the superficial layer of the skin
- standard protocol: 3 sessions a month apart
- depending on the indication, between 2 and 6 sessions may be needed
- the results are progressive and carry on improving for up to 3 months after the end of the treatment
- reduced downtime: redness and mild swelling that can last about 12 hours
- clinically proven effectiveness: improvements observed in 100% of patients, with significant results in 65% of them
What is EndyMed Intensif fractional radiofrequency and how does it work?
EndyMed 3 DEEP is a state-of-the-art technology that uses radiofrequency delivered fractionally through microneedles (also called radiofrequency microneedling) to stimulate the production of collagen and to improve the texture, the tone and the elasticity of the skin.
3Deep uses a series of electrodes and a specific algorithm that directs the thermal energy precisely, minimising its dissipation into the tissue.
The repulsion forces between the electromagnetic fields created conduct the energy vertically into the target tissue and create a three-dimensional thermal pattern.
EndyMed Intensif is the first FDA-approved radiofrequency microneedling technology on the aesthetic market. The penetration depth of the Intensif needles is adjustable, between 0.5 mm and 5 mm, according to the area treated. Being an excellent solution for treating post-acne scars, Intensif treatments give significantly visible initial results, with the condition of the skin continuing to improve long after the treatments have finished.
To understand it better
- the microneedles create controlled microchannels in the skin
- the RF energy heats the deep dermis (not just the surface)
- your body responds by producing collagen and elastin faster
The result? Firmer, smoother, brighter skin, without destroying the superficial layer, which reduces the risk of marks or scars after the procedure.
The benefits you gain from radiofrequency microneedling
Besides the visible benefits, it is worth understanding that this treatment acts deep down, in the structure of the skin, and not merely on the surface. In practice it does not “mask” imperfections but prompts the skin to regenerate from within. Clinical studies show that the process of collagen remodelling carries on for months after the treatment, which means that the results become better and better over time, with no further intervention. This is one of the reasons why fractional radiofrequency is considered a long-term solution.
- A collagen boost – the microneedles create micro-wounds that the body repairs with new collagen and elastin fibres
- A lifting effect – by heating the dermis above 52 degrees, the existing fibres shorten and tighten the skin, taking up the excess skin at the nasolabial folds, the marionette lines and the jowls.
- It reduces scars and fine lines – the fractured dermis repairs and renews itself, taking on a smooth, even appearance
- It improves the texture of the skin – the pores become smaller and the overall quality of the skin improves
Why choose treatment with EndyMed Intensif radiofrequency?
Unlike other devices, the EndyMed machine uses 3DEEP technology, which directs the energy deeper and in a more controlled way, reducing energy losses at the surface. That means two essential things for you: greater effectiveness and less discomfort. In addition, the energy is delivered evenly along the whole length of the needle, which allows the dermis to be treated completely without repeated passes or unnecessary trauma to the skin. Here are the features of the machine:
- It is non-invasive – no scalpel, no recovery time, suited to every skin type and to women and men alike
- A powerful treatment – high, customisable energy, with very good results on men's skin too, which is denser and thicker
- It is effective – with visible results in increased firmness, in the improvement of wrinkles and scars, and in the texture of the skin
- It is safe – suited to every skin type
- Customisable – the treatment plan and the doses used are tailored to each condition to be treated
How many radiofrequency microneedling sessions are needed
The number of sessions is not the same for everyone, and here lies one of the great advantages of the EndyMed technology: it is entirely tailored. Depending on your problem (scars, laxity, enlarged pores or wrinkles), the plan can vary.
The standard protocol used in studies includes 3 treatment sessions, a month apart. This frequency allows the skin to go through the natural process of healing and collagen remodelling between sessions. In practice each session builds on the results of the one before, and the effects become more and more visible over time. Depending on the indication there are variations too: between two and 6 sessions for post-acne scars or more complex problems, until the 1000 pulses are used up
It is important to mention that the results appear gradually. Studies show that the improvement carries on even 3 months after the end of the 3 sessions, thanks to the process of deep regeneration of the skin.
The treatment is also not merely a matter of the number of sessions, but of the parameters used (depth, energy, number of pulses), which are tailored to each area and each skin type.
| Treatment parameter | Values from studies |
|---|---|
| Standard number of sessions | 3 sessions |
| Interval between sessions | 1 month |
| Variation according to the case | 2 – 6 sessions |
| Time to maximum results | up to 3 months after the end |
| Number of pulses per session | 230 – 1000 pulses |
| Number of passes per area | 2 – 4 passes |
| Penetration depth | up to 3.5 mm (according to the area) |
How the EndyMed Intensif treatment goes, step by step
In practice, the number of sessions is influenced both by the medical protocol and by the area treated. Clinical studies generally recommend 3 sessions a month apart for the best results. At the same time, depending on the area treated, these pulses can be distributed differently:
- For the patient's comfort, an anaesthetic cream is applied for an hour.
- The treatment tip is individual, unsealed for each patient, and holds 1000 pulses that will be used up over the course of the treatment sessions.
- If only the face is to be treated, 3 or 4 sessions will be needed to use up the pulses. If, on the other hand, the face and the neck are to be treated in the same session, only 2 treatment sessions will be needed.
So the treatment plan is adapted to you, according to the needs of your skin and the areas treated.
How the results of radiofrequency are amplified with exosomes
Besides the effects of fractional radiofrequency itself, another important advantage of this technology is its ability to improve the absorption of active substances into the skin. Thanks to the microchannels the needles create during the procedure, the skin becomes far more receptive to the ingredients applied immediately after the treatment.
The results can therefore be amplified when the procedure is combined with regenerative solutions such as exosomes, which act directly on the process of repairing and regenerating the skin.
Exosomes are microscopic particles native to the human body, which signal to the pluripotent stem cells to turn into new functional cells. Researchers have succeeded in isolating synthetic exosomes with functions identical to the natural ones, which stimulate our stem cells in the skin to repair and rebuild the dermis and the epidermis.
EndyMed Intensif fractional radiofrequency belongs to the DEBD category (Delivery Energy Based Devices), that is, equipment suited to delivering solutions into the skin. In practice, the exosome solution is applied to the skin at the end of the procedure, ensuring faster repair, a denser texture and toned, radiant skin.

FAQ: frequently asked questions about EndyMed fractional radiofrequency
What is fractional radiofrequency and how does it work?
Fractional radiofrequency is a modern rejuvenation procedure that uses microneedles and RF energy to stimulate collagen deep down. In practice it combines microneedling with radiofrequency in order to improve the texture of the skin, wrinkles and scars, without harshly affecting the surface of the skin.
What is radiofrequency microneedling and what are its advantages?
Radiofrequency microneedling is an advanced version of classic microneedling, in which the thermal energy is delivered directly into the dermis. The main advantages are faster results, intense collagen stimulation and a lower risk of pigmentation compared with the laser.
How many fractional radiofrequency sessions are needed?
In most clinical studies, including those for EndyMed Intensif, 3 sessions a month apart are recommended. Depending on the severity of the problems (scars, wrinkles), between 2 and 6 sessions may be needed. The treatment plan is tailored to the needs of your skin.
Is fractional radiofrequency effective for post-acne scars?
Yes, fractional radiofrequency is one of the most effective procedures for post-acne scars. Studies show visible improvements in the texture of the skin and a reduction in scarring in most patients.
Does fractional radiofrequency help with wrinkles and facial lifting?
Yes, the treatment stimulates collagen and produces a lifting effect on the skin. In studies, improvements in wrinkles and in the firmness of the skin were observed in 100% of patients, with visible effects along the jawline too.
Is treatment with EndyMed Intensif radiofrequency painful?
The discomfort is mild to moderate. Patients have reported an average pain level of about 4 out of 10, which means the procedure is well tolerated, especially with a local anaesthetic.
How long does recovery take after fractional radiofrequency?
Recovery is quick. Redness and swelling usually disappear within 12 hours at most, and in some cases microcrusts may appear, which heal within a few days.
Is fractional radiofrequency better than the laser?
Fractional radiofrequency has the advantage of penetrating more deeply and of not depending on the pigment of the skin. The risk of hyperpigmentation is therefore lower than with the CO2 laser, especially for darker phototypes.
Can fractional radiofrequency be done in summer?
Yes, the procedure can be done in summer too, since it does not harshly affect the superficial layer of the skin. Even so, sun protection is obligatory, to prevent marks from appearing.
What results can you obtain with EndyMed Intensif?
The results include an improvement in the texture of the skin, a reduction in wrinkles, the softening of scars and a lifting effect. Studies show significant improvements in all patients treated, with results that progress over time.
Is radiofrequency treatment suitable for every skin type?
Yes; one of the major advantages of radiofrequency is that it does not depend on melanin, which makes it safe for every skin type, including the darkest.
How long do the results last after fractional radiofrequency?
The results are not only immediate; they carry on improving for up to 3 months after the treatment, thanks to the process of collagen remodelling. To maintain them, periodic sessions are recommended.
