RF Microneedling vs. Traditional Microneedling: The Differences

Woman's smiles and touches her glowing, youthful skinYour skin is your lifelong partner, so it deserves gentle care and effective restorative treatments when it’s not looking its best. At The Glow Clinic in Bellevue, WA, our experienced team of aesthetics specialists loves helping women glow from within, which is why radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is one of our favorite treatments. This advanced procedure takes microneedling to the next level, combining tiny needles with radiofrequency energy to give you smoother, tighter, and more radiant skin.

If you’re considering skin treatments to improve texture, scars, or fine lines, it’s important to understand how RF microneedling compares to traditional microneedling.

How Traditional Microneedling Works

Traditional microneedling involves using a device with a cluster of ultra-fine needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in your skin.

This process promotes skin restoration by producing more collagen and elastin, the proteins providing skin strength and elasticity.

Key benefits of traditional microneedling:

  • Blurs fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improves skin texture and tone
  • Fades acne scars
  • Fades stretch marks
  • Enhances absorption of skincare products, like serums

While traditional microneedling is effective for many skin concerns, it’s best suited for superficial improvements.

What Makes RF Microneedling Different?

RF microneedling takes the benefits of traditional microneedling and adds a powerful boost with radiofrequency energy. The device delivers RF energy deep into your skin through the tiny needle channels. This supercharges collagen and elastin production, promoting more pronounced results.

Unique benefits of RF microneedling:

  • Tightens loose skin for a firmer appearance
  • Treats deeper wrinkles and scars
  • Boosts skin rejuvenation with long-lasting results
  • Stimulates collagen and elastin renewal in deeper layers of skin

Adding RF energy makes this treatment ideal for addressing more advanced skin concerns like significant skin laxity or deeper acne scars.

One of the most impressive benefits of RF microneedling is that studies show results continue to improve for up to six months after the procedure.

Is RF Microneedling Right for You?

If you’re looking for a treatment to dramatically improve your skin’s texture, tone, and tightness, RF microneedling could be the solution.
