RF Microneedling is a type of skin rejuvenation treatment that specifically tightens the skin without the need for surgery. It’s the go-to alternative that patients opt for when they have good skin laxity and just enough skin that needs tightening without the need for a body lift, arm lift, facelift, etc.
It works by using ultra-fine needles to create tiny injuries in the skin while delivering radiofrequency (RF) energy deep below the surface. This process kickstarts your body’s natural collagen production, helping the skin rebuild itself from the inside out. The result? Firmer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin with minimal downtime and no surgical scars to worry about.
One of the most important details in RF microneedling technology is whether or not the needles are insulated. Insulated needles are designed to deliver heat only to the deeper layers of the skin, while protecting the surface and delicate fat layers underneath. This is crucial for preventing unwanted side effects like fat loss, scarring, or pigmentation issues, especially for patients who want tightening without sacrificing their natural facial volume or skin quality.
Now that we have that established, let’s understand the difference between these RF Microneedling treatments.
