RF Microneedling vs. Traditional Microneedling: What’s the Difference?

Traditional Microneedling with SkinPen

SkinPen microneedling utilizes tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and boosting collagen and elastin production. The result? Smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

Benefits of Traditional Microneedling

• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Improves skin texture and tone
• Minimizes acne scars
• Reduces pore size
• Stimulates collagen production

RF Microneedling with Secret Pro

RF microneedling elevates the benefits of traditional microneedling by combining microneedles with radiofrequency energy. As the needles create micro-channels, RF energy heats the deeper layers of the skin, further amplifying collagen and elastin production for more dramatic and longer-lasting results.

Benefits of RF Microneedling

• • Enhanced Skin Tightening: RF energy heats the dermis, leading to significant skin tightening and lifting.
  • Improved Skin Laxity: Effectively addresses skin laxity on the face, neck, and body.
  • Reduced Acne Scars and Stretch Marks: The combination of microneedles and RF energy is particularly effective in minimizing the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks.
  • Long-lasting Results: RF microneedling generally provides longer-lasting results compared to traditional microneedling.

Which Treatment is Right for You?

The best way to determine the most suitable treatment for your needs is to schedule a consultation with our skilled team. We will evaluate your skin concerns, discuss your goals, and recommend the most appropriate option.

In general, RF microneedling may be a better choice if you:

• Are concerned with skin laxity and sagging.
• Have deep wrinkles or acne scars.
• Desire more dramatic and long-lasting results.

Traditional microneedling may be a suitable option if you:

• Have mild to moderate skin concerns.
• Want to improve skin texture and tone.
• Prefer a less intense treatment.

Additional factors to consider:

• Downtime: Both treatments involve minimal downtime, but RF microneedling may require slightly longer recovery time due to the added heat energy.
• Comfort: We offer a comfort menu to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible. This includes numbing cream, Pro-Nox® (laughing gas), and the Zimmer Chiller®.
• Cost: RF microneedling is generally more expensive than traditional microneedling due to the advanced technology involved.
