Radio Frequency Microneedling vs. Traditional Microneedling: What’s the Difference?
When it comes to the differences between radio frequency (RF) microneedling and traditional microneedling, we like to think of it this way: RF microneedling is the powerful, strong, popular quarterback that makes all the winning plays, while traditional microneedling is the reliable second-string player that has talent, but moves slower and hasn’t scored a touchdown all season.
At Refresh & Renew Medspa in Clarkston, Michigan we are all-in on RF microneedling and we have two different treatment devices: Scarlet RF utilizes 25 gold-plated tips to deliver skin-tightening treatments, while AGNES RF uses a single tip that is inserted under the skin to destroy fat cells.
Traditional microneedling has great benefits, but we are all in on RF microneedling because of the significant results.
Five Ways Radiofrequency Microneedling outshines Traditional Microneedling
If you’re wondering why RF microneedling is the real MVP, let’s find out:
Provides improved collagen stimulation
Traditional microneedling stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that give skin its firmness and elasticity. RF microneedling goes the extra mile by heating the skin's deeper layers with radiofrequency energy, which generates even more collagen stimulation.
Addresses a wider range of concerns
Traditional microneedling is mainly used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring and uneven skin tone. RF microneedling addresses all of these problem areas and more – it is also used to treat skin laxity in order to tighten up loose, saggy skin.
Heals quicker
Traditional microneedling often requires several days for the damage to the skin’s surface to heal. The radiofrequency energy used in RF microneedling is much less harsh on the skin, which results in much shorter healing time. Most people who undergo RF microneedling are able to return to normal activities a few hours after the procedure.
Delivers more effective results
Because RF microneedling stimulates a higher production of collagen and elastin than traditional microneedling, you benefit from firmer, smoother and more youthful-looking skin.
Requires fewer treatments
Since traditional microneedling is not as effective as RF microneedling, it requires more treatments to achieve optimal results. RF microneedling can deliver noticeable results after just one treatment, and generally requires less visits than traditional microneedling to achieve your goals.
RF microneedling can address a wide range of concerns, from facial wrinkles and acne scarring, to skin laxity on the arms, breasts and legs.
