Two handles define the VRF1: an RF microneedle handle with vacuum suction, and a non-invasive RF handle that Nubway markets as Thermagical. The manufacturer's own page, filed under the VRF1 name, gives 400 W power, RF at 5 MHz and 8 MHz, a 12.4-inch screen, needle depth from 0 to 4 mm, pulse duration of 250–600 ms on the microneedle handle and 1000–3000 ms on the non-invasive handle, four treatment head sizes, 22 kg net weight and AC 220 V or 110 V supply. Its trade directory entry describes it as trolley-mounted. Needle count per tip, electrode arrangement, cooling and dimensions are not published.

The mechanism is what separates the two services. The needle handle uses suction to draw skin against the tip, drives fine needles to a set depth and releases RF heat at the needle tips inside the dermis, so the heat lands where collagen sits and the surface is breached only by pinpoints. The non-invasive handle warms tissue from the surface without piercing, which suits clients who want tightening without any needle marks. Depth, pulse duration, and head size determine how deep and how broadly the heat reaches, so each setting matches a treatment goal.

The photograph shows a tall white column on a black four-castor base, a portrait screen at the top, a handle holstered at the upper right with its cable looping down, a black accessory tray at mid-height, a round button on the column and a vented lower cabinet.

No unit dimensions are published for the VRF1. Medigear.uk can arrange delivery, installation and staff familiarisation. Request the tip specifications, confirmation of the RF frequencies and depth range, the list of single-use consumables and the declaration of conformity from the seller before ordering.

The VRF1 suits aesthetic clinics, dermatology practices and advanced skin studios offering collagen-focused treatments with and without needles. Two handles let one station cover two service lines: needle-based remodelling for scars and texture, and non-invasive tightening for clients who want no marks.

Acne scarring and enlarged pores are the core needle indications, along with fine lines, crêpey skin and stretch marks. Courses usually run to three or more sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, with photographs under consistent light at each visit. Combining the needle handle with subcision, where a practitioner offers it, suits tethered rolling scars. The non-invasive handle fills maintenance appointments and serves clients building up to needle work.

Darker skin types are a natural part of the caseload because published studies skew toward skin types III to V and report mostly temporary pigment change. Conservative settings and test areas still apply, especially on first visits.

Infection control shapes every session. Tips must be sterile and single-use, skin preparation and aftercare products must suit treated skin, and needle tips go straight into a sharps container for disposal as clinical waste. Treatment records should carry tip batch numbers, settings and products used. Screening for implanted electronic devices, bleeding risk, active skin infection and cold sores belongs on the consent form.

Outside the UK, needling treatments meet similar infection control, waste and premises requirements under local rules. The conformity documentation required for those purchasing routes is issued by the manufacturer and provided by the seller.

Two Service Lines From One Station

The needle handle and the non-invasive handle run from the same screen. A clinic can offer scar work and needle-free tightening with one device. Clients can move between the two as their plan changes.

Depth Chosen to Suit the Target

Nubway's page gives needle depth from 0 to 4 mm. Shallow settings suit thin periorbital skin and deeper settings suit scarred cheeks. The operator sets the depth to the tissue, zone by zone.

Suction for Firmer Contact

Vacuum draws the skin against the tip before the needles fire. That improves contact on curved areas such as the eyes and neck. Suction strength settings are not published.

Dual RF Frequencies

The manufacturer lists 5 MHz and 8 MHz RF. Different frequencies change how heat distributes in tissue. Confirm how each is selected and used.

Four Treatment Head Sizes

Nubway describes four head sizes for face and body. Small heads reach around the nose and eyes, and larger heads cover the cheeks and body areas. Tip needle counts are not published.

Evidence Supporting Darker Skin Work

Published reviews report mostly temporary pigment change with RF microneedling in skin types III to V. That widens the client base a clinic can treat with care. Test areas remain sensible.

Mobile Trolley With Storage

The column stands on four castors with an accessory tray at mid-height. Tips, gauze and sharps containers can travel with the station between rooms. Castor braking is not described.

Short Recovery for Most Clients

Published studies report redness settling within hours to days. Most clients can return to normal routines quickly. Pinpoint marks may still be visible for a short time.

RF Microneedle Handle

The needle handle combines vacuum suction with RF delivered through fine needles. Pulse duration on this handle is given as 250–600 ms. Needle insulation and count per tip are not published.

Non-Invasive RF Handle

The second handle, marketed as Thermagical, heats tissue without needles. The manufacturer lists its pulse duration as 1000–3000 ms. Its head size and electrode type are not published.

0 to 4 mm Depth Range

The manufacturer's page lists an adjustable needle depth of 0 to 4 mm. Its marketplace listing lists fixed depths of 0.5, 1, and 1.5 mm. Confirm the range for the quoted unit.

5 and 8 MHz RF. Nubway's page lists

RF frequencies of 5 MHz and 8 MHz. The marketplace listing gives bipolar 2 MHz. Confirm the frequencies in writing.

400 W Power

The station is rated at 400 W. That reads as the electrical rating. Confirm the circuit requirement in the quotation.

12.4-Inch Portrait Screen

A 12.4-inch screen sits at the top of the column. The photograph shows rows of settings for each parameter. Language options and presets are not published.

Holstered Handle

A handle is holstered at the upper right of the column. Its cable loops down beside the tray. A second handle position is expected for the non-invasive handpiece.

Accessory Tray

A black tray sits at mid-height with rails at the sides. It keeps tips and consumables within reach during treatment. Its load rating is not published.

Vented Lower Cabinet

The lower cabinet carries a patterned ventilation grille. The cooling method is not published. Keep the grille clear of walls and fabric.

Four-Castor Base

A black base carries four castors. The station can be wheeled between treatment rooms. Brakes are not described.

22 kg Net Weight

Nubway's page gives a net weight of 22 kg. Whether that figure includes the trolley is not stated. Ask whether the trolley ships as standard.

Single-Use Tips

The marketplace listing mentions 35 tips as accessories. Needling tips must be sterile and single-use. Confirm the tip types, sterility method and resupply route.

The VRF1 is a trolley-mounted vacuum RF microneedling station with a needle handle set from 0 to 4 mm and a non-invasive RF handle, run from a 12.4-inch screen. Its mechanism places heat in the dermis at a chosen depth, and published reviews support RF microneedling for acne scars across a wide range of skin types, with modest downtime. Conflicting published figures and sterile tip supply must be settled before order. Medigear.uk lists the VRF1 for business buyers worldwide and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Ask the seller in the quotation for the confirmed specification, tip details, contraindications and the declaration of conformity.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

Nubway's own page gives 5 MHz and 8 MHz RF and a 0–4 mm needle depth. Its marketplace listing under the same code lists bipolar RF at 2 MHz, depths of 0.5, 1, and 1.5 mm, a 1 cm² tip, and a portable build with 35 tips. The photograph shows a trolley unit, which matches the manufacturer's own page and its directory entry. Ask the seller which specification the quoted unit follows, in writing.

Fine needles enter the skin to a chosen depth and deliver RF energy at or near their tips, heating the dermis in small columns while most of the surface stays intact. The body responds by remodelling collagen over the following weeks and months. On the VRF1, suction pulls the skin into the tip first for firmer contact, which helps on curved areas around the eyes and neck. Results build over a course of sessions spaced several weeks apart.

A 2026 systematic review of 41 studies in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery found that RF microneedling consistently reduced acne scar scores, and that split-face trials reported results comparable to fractional lasers with faster recovery and fewer pigment changes. The same review noted that most studies were small, short and varied in method, and that combining treatment with subcision gave the best scar results. No study has tested the VRF1 itself. Nubway's claim of up to 67% better topical penetration is not independently supported.

The evidence is encouraging. A 2025 systematic review found that most participants in RF microneedling studies had skin types III to V, and that hyperpigmentation, where reported, was usually temporary and resolved during follow-up. Risk is not zero, so conservative settings, test areas and sun protection remain sensible. Clients with a history of pigment problems need a practitioner's assessment first.

Redness usually settles within hours to a few days, with pinpoint marks, mild swelling or dryness in some clients. Treatment discomfort is typically moderate and fades within a day, and topical anaesthetic is commonly used. Nubway describes the treatment as having no downtime, which understates the visible short-term reaction. Agree on a realistic recovery time at consultation.

Only products labelled for use on broken or treated skin, applied under the practitioner's protocol. Microchannels let substances into the dermis, and published case reports link non-sterile or unsuitable serums applied after microneedling to granulomatous reactions. Nubway's marketing encourages driving topicals deeper, so the clinic should decide its product list deliberately. Keep product batch numbers on the treatment record.

Active acne, infection, cold sores, or broken skin in the area rule out treatment on the day. Clients with pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices, metal implants in the area, pregnancy, keloid tendency, bleeding disorders or anticoagulant medication need careful screening and may be excluded. Recent isotretinoin use should follow the supervising practitioner's protocol. Obtain and apply the manufacturer's contraindication list.

Needling breaches the skin, so infection control, single-use sterile tips and sharps disposal as clinical waste are essential in every setting. Local authority requirements vary, from special treatment licences in London boroughs to council registration elsewhere, so check with the council before launching. Treatment claims for acne scars are medical in nature, and the declaration of conformity will show whether the unit is placed as a medical device under UK MDR 2002 or as cosmetic electrical equipment. England's planned licensing scheme for non-surgical cosmetic procedures has been enabled but not yet commenced.

Nubway's marketplace listing states CE certification, but no certificate number, notified body or scope is published, and that listing describes a portable build. Request the declaration of conformity, issued by the manufacturer and provided by the seller, and confirm it names the VRF1 and the build being quoted. Add the English manual, the tip specifications with sterility details and the contraindication list. Where those cannot be supplied, Medigear.uk can point the buyer to an alternative specification.
