Abstract
The invention concerns a method for controlling and/or adapting a microneedling apparatus, having one or more microneedles and means to provide radiofrequency (RF) energy, for treatment of dysfunctions of intracutaneous nerve fibers and/or the neurovascular plexus, comprising setting a defined percutaneous penetration depth for the one or more microneedles ranging from 0.5 mm to 3.5 mm, and setting an RF energy output value of 5 mJ to 60 mJ per needle, preferably of 10 mJ to 40 mJ per needle.
