If you’ve had microneedling and felt underwhelmed, there’s a good chance you had the wrong type for your skin.
Microneedling and radiofrequency microneedling are often talked about as if they’re interchangeable, and they’re not. Understanding the difference is what determines whether you get the result you’re actually looking for.
Traditional microneedling works in the more superficial layers of the skin, triggering collagen production through controlled micro-injuries. It’s brilliant for improving overall skin quality, texture, and tone, and for anyone starting their skin treatment journey it’s a really strong option.
Radiofrequency microneedling goes deeper. The addition of radiofrequency energy means we can target deeper layers of the skin and remodel fat, which makes it significantly more effective for anyone dealing with deeper scarring, more pronounced skin laxity, or concerns that need more than surface-level improvement. The results are deeper, and they come faster.
Choosing between the two comes down to what your skin actually needs, and that starts with a proper assessment!
