Is RF Microneedling Better Than Microneedling?

If you’re wondering how you can address unwanted skin conditions and signs of aging on your skin, you should know about RF microneedling. This treatment goes beyond what regular microneedling can accomplish, making it better overall. How it works is simple. The treatment basically causes the skin to create fresh, new tissue. It also stimulates the production of collagen, a protein found in all connective tissue that is essential for retaining firm, youthful-looking skin.

Why RF Microneedling?

Microneedling requires no surgery and is well-tolerated, depending on the sensitivity of the patient’s skin and other factors. RF microneedling in particular has all sorts of benefits attached to it. This state-of-the-art device is fitted with tiny needles that can deliver radio frequency energy to the target area at the same time that it perforates the skin. This will increase the skin’s ability to regenerate itself. RF microneedling takes advantage of the power of multiple modalities in order to bring about amazing results.

What Can It Treat?

The results of RF microneedling include tighter skin, smaller pores and increased skin circulation. This treatment is also ideal for those with wrinkles and fine lines. While scars tend to be stubborn, RF microneedling can definitely improve their appearance (especially acne scars and stretch marks). It can also treat general redness in the skin as well as hyperpigmentation, which is when you have dark blotches on the skin caused by deposits of brown pigment. Melasma is a common form of hyperpigmentation. Although the treatment is commonly used on the face, it can also be used on other areas like the chest, neck, torso, buttocks and thighs.

What to Expect

It’s important to remember that improvement is always gradual. A series of RF microneedling treatments is usually recommended, while some patients request ongoing treatments as a kind of maintenance service for their skin. It all depends on the unique situation and the client’s wants and needs. That’s one of the reasons why a consultation is so important.
