Why can Modelow appointments cost less?
Some clinics offer reduced-price appointments when they need a model for training, demonstrations, content or supervised practice. The lower price reflects the appointment type — not necessarily lower standards.
Prices change and differ between clinics. Confirm the exact treatment, practitioner, inclusions and total cost before you book.

What is RF microneedling?
RF microneedling delivers radiofrequency heat through microneedles into the dermis. This combines collagen induction with tissue tightening — going deeper than standard microneedling alone.
Branded devices include Morpheus8, Sylfirm X, Potenza and Secret RF. Confirm which device your clinic uses.
What can it treat?
Common uses include skin laxity, fine lines, enlarged pores, acne scarring, stretch marks and overall texture. It is often positioned between standard microneedling and more aggressive laser resurfacing.
Not a substitute for surgical lifting in advanced laxity.
What happens during treatment?
Topical numbing is applied for 30–45 minutes. The device passes over the treatment area with adjustable depth and energy settings. Sessions take 30–60 minutes depending on area.
Redness and warmth are common for 24–72 hours. Some clinics recommend 1–3 days of social downtime.
How many sessions are needed?
Texture and early laxity may improve after 1–3 sessions. Moderate acne scarring often needs 4–6. Maintenance once or twice a year is common after an initial course.
Why might model appointments cost less?
Laser and advanced device clinics actively recruit models for RF microneedling training. Confirm device, settings, practitioner qualification and aftercare.
