Microneedling vs. RF Microneedling
Microneedling involves creating tiny punctures in the skin to stimulate collagen production, while radiofrequency (RF) microneedling uses energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and tightening the skin. RF microneedling can offer more dramatic results
How does heat stimulate more Collagen production?
Heat stimulates collagen production by triggering a wound healing response in the skin, which leads to the production of new collagen fibers. The heat generated by radiofrequency (RF) microneedling can penetrate deeper into the skin than traditional microneedling, resulting in more collagen production and tighter, firmer skin.
Why do Microneedling without Radiofrequency?
The RF part causes more discomfort during the procedure, longer downtime due to redness and swelling, and a higher cost compared to traditional microneedling.

Frequently Asked Questions
In addition to creating tiny punctures in the skin, radiofrequency (RF) microneedling uses energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and skin tightening.
The wound healing response in the skin triggered by the heat from radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is known as the “healing cascade.” This process involves the production of new collagen fibers, which can help to tighten and firm the skin.
Radiofrequency (RF) generates heat by producing an alternating current that passes through the tissue. The RF energy causes the molecules in the tissue to rotate rapidly, creating friction and generating heat. This heat can then be used to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin during RF microneedling treatments.
