What is the difference between microneedling and RF microneedling?

Luxe Aesthetics & Wellness offers traditional microneedling and RF microneedling. Both options work by using thin, sterile treatment needles to penetrate the deeper layers of your skin. This process triggers a healing response, which includes significant collagen development. 

Lost collagen is a normal part of aging and the primary cause of lines, wrinkles, and folds. Without that natural collagen padding, the skin sags and pools, creating visible signs of aging.

RF microneedling incorporates radiofrequency energy into the microneedling process. This energy gets delivered in a carefully controlled manner as the treatment needles enter and exit your skin. RF energy creates heat, further prompting your body’s natural healing response. 

RF microneedling adds a thermal element to the traditional microneedling process, which helps tighten the skin and promotes new vascular development to improve circulation in the treatment area.  

Is RF microneedling the best alternative to more invasive treatment options?

One of the reasons why so many people choose RF microneedling is the ability to achieve noticeable skin improvements without the risks and recovery time of more invasive treatments like plastic surgery. 

RF microneedling sessions take very little time and require no preparation. The recovery process involves a day or so of mild skin redness, sensitivity, and perhaps some minimal swelling. Wear a high-quality sunscreen to protect against UV rays and avoid harsh scrubs or products as your skin adjusts.

Is RF microneedling safe?

The technology behind RF microneedling is powerful; however, in the hands of skilled medical professionals, treatments are perfectly safe. Your practitioner explains what to expect and how to care for your skin after treatments. 

It’s important to let your practitioner know if you’re taking any medications that create heightened sensitivity to light. If you routinely use retinol skin products, you might need to pause your routine before and after your RF microneedling treatments. 

When considering any advanced medical aesthetics treatment, choose a provider with medical training. At Luxe Aesthetics & Wellness, your safety is always the primary consideration. Only the best technology is selected, and practitioners undergo extensive training on how to use these tools safely.
