RF Microneedling combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivered deep into the skin. This advanced technology provides more significant collagen remodeling, making it particularly effective for skin tightening, acne scars, deeper wrinkles, enlarged pores, and overall skin rejuvenation.
Classic microneedling creates thousands of controlled microchannels in the skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing response and encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin. It is an excellent treatment for improving skin texture, refining pores, softening fine lines, and promoting healthier, more radiant skin with minimal downtime.
Microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) combines traditional microneedling with your body’s own natural growth factors. Following microneedling, PRP is applied to the skin to support healing, enhance collagen production, and improve overall skin quality. This regenerative approach can help accelerate recovery while promoting smoother, healthier, and more radiant skin.
Signals your skin to start making more collagen.
Gives your skin the signal plus additional biological growth factors to enhance healing and regeneration.
Gives your skin the signal plus controlled heat to remodel collagen deeper in the skin, creating more significant tightening and scar improvement.
The best treatment is not determined by the technology—it’s determined by your concerns and skin quality. During your private skin consultation, our experienced aesthetic team will recommend the microneedling approach best suited to your skin condition, aesthetic goals, and desired level of correction.
