Electroporation and radiofrequency combination treatment being performed on facial skin at KM Advanced Skin Palmerston North

Electroporation (EP) and Radio Frequency (RF)

Dual-technology treatment combining electroporation for a hydrating needle-free serum infusion with radiofrequency for enhanced penetration, lifting, firming and toning — no needles, no downtime.

Energy Device, Combination

This combination treatment pairs two Apollo Duet complementary technologies for a comprehensive non-invasive result. Electroporation (EP) uses low-level electrical pulses to temporarily create micro-channels in the skin cell membrane, allowing active serums to penetrate the skin at up to 400% greater depth than topical application alone — with no needles required. Radiofrequency (RF) simultaneously delivers controlled thermal energy to the dermis, stimulating fibroblast activity, tightening existing collagen fibres, and triggering sustained new collagen production. Together, EP and RF address both skin quality and structural laxity in a single session. This technology allows us to tailor each treatment to your skin’s exact requirements — delivering corrective, rebuilding, or rejuvenating actives precisely where they are needed.

Face: 45 mins, $275
Face, Full Neck and Décolletage: 60 mins, $375

Benefits

  • Needle-free deep serum infusion via electroporation

  • RF tightens skin and stimulates deep collagen production

  • Dual-technology result: skin quality and structural improvement

  • No downtime — return to normal activities immediately

  • Customisable serums delivering intensive hydration, brightening, or firming

  • Suitable for all skin types and those needle-averse

Who it's for

EP and RF is an excellent option for needle-averse clients who want the benefits of injectable skin quality treatments, or for those seeking a consistent, no-downtime tightening and hydration maintenance treatment. It is also ideal as a regular maintenance addition between more intensive procedures. This treatment is suitable for almost all skin types and colourings as we can tailor to suit active acne and rosacea, and those with a compromised skin barrier.

Practioner notes

At KM Advanced Skin, electroporation is not simply an enhancement — it is part of a considered, results-driven strategy to optimise skin performance and long-term integrity. EP and RF is my go-to recommendation for clients who are needle-averse but want meaningful results. Electroporation technology genuinely changes what you can achieve topically, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper for improved hydration, repair, and visible rejuvenation.
