Radiofrequency microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy. During the treatment, fine needles create micro-injuries in the skin while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers. This dual approach stimulates collagen and elastin production, promoting skin rejuvenation, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improve scarring and stretch marks, and reducing acne and pigmentation.
At Belle.tox, we use the ProLift Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling device on the Darwin platform from Luvo Medical. This device is unique because it has an upgraded 2 MHz radiofrequency delivery for the most comfortable treatment of its kind, to date. It also features a novel vacuum feature for consistent and uniform needle penetration and improved comfort. Insulated and non-insulated needles make this treatment truly customizable. These unique features are safe for all skin types, even darker skin tones.
MICRONEEDLING
Technique
Uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin
Mechanism
Stimulates collagen and elastin through the body's healing process
Depth of Treatment
Superficial
Epidermis and upper dermis
Results
Improves texture, reduces fine lines, and minimizes scars and enlarged pores
Down Time
Generally minimal, with redness and swelling lasting a few days
RADIOFREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING
Technique
Combines traditional microneedling with the delivery of radiofrequency energy
Mechanism
The needles not only create micro-injuries but also deliver heat to the deeper layers of the skin, enhancing collagen production
Depth of Treatment
Reaches deeper dermal layers, promoting more significant tightening and lifting
Results
Provides enhanced skin tightening, improves texture, and reduces wrinkles more effectively than standard microneedling
Down Time
Similar to microneedling, though some patients may experience slightly longer recovery due to the deeper treatment
