Differences Between Microneedling and RF Microneedling?
If you have been exploring skin rejuvenation treatments, chances are you have come across microneedling — and maybe RF microneedling too. While they sound similar, there are some key differences that can help you decide which option is best for your skin goals.
What is Traditional Microneedling?
Traditional microneedling is a device with very fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin on surface-level. These micro-injuries trigger your skin’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production. Over time, this can help improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and early signs of ageing.
It is a gentle, effective treatment with minimal downtime, and it works beautifully for many skin types.
What is RF Microneedling?
RF (radiofrequency) microneedling takes things a step further. It still uses tiny needles to create micro-channels in the skin, but it also delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis layer of the skin. This added heat stimulates collagen production at a deeper level and helps tighten the skin from within.
RF microneedling is especially effective for skin laxity, deeper wrinkles, and more stubborn scarring. Many clients also notice faster, more dramatic results compared to traditional microneedling
Which One is Right for You?
Both treatments can do wonders for your skin, but the best option depends on your concerns and desired results. If you are unsure, Setsuko is always happy to offer a personalised consultation to guide you for taking a great step toward healthier, more radiant skin.
