When it comes to skin rejuvenation, RF microneedling often outperforms traditional microneedling. Both treatments are excellent for revitalizing and improving skin texture and tone, making them ideal for almost any skin type year-round. This versatility makes them fantastic anti-aging options.

Traditional microneedling remains a gold standard for general skin improvement, enhancing the skin’s visual and textural quality. Most people tolerate it well, needing only a small amount of numbing. Traditional microneedling is great at buffing the skin, effectively addressing its crevices and smaller contours, unlike RF- microneedling.

RF microneedling, on the other hand, adds the benefit of radiofrequency energy. This thermal damage to the lower layers of the skin stimulates the production of elastin and fibroblasts. In my opinion, it’s the best treatment in the medical aesthetics industry for skin remodeling, particularly for moderate lines and acne scars. However, patience is required. The collagen you’re looking to build will take one to three months to develop, and improvement levels vary based on individual factors like skin type, age, ethnicity, and lifestyle.

RF microneedling is a more uncomfortable procedure and is often about twice the price of traditional microneedling. However, the results can be well worth it for those seeking deeper skin rejuvenation.
