RF Microneedling: Scar Treatments (Acne, Surgical + Stretchmarks)
An Innovative Approach to Treating Scars
Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF) is the ultimate treatment for improving the appearance of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.
This minimally invasive cosmetic procedure combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to create micro-injuries in the skin. This helps to break down old scar tissue, and triggers the skin’s natural healing response which stimulates collagen and elastin production for repair and skin texture improvements.
Collagen is a protein that provides structure to the skin. By stimulating collagen production, RF microneedling helps to remodel scar tissue, making it smoother and less noticeable. The new collagen also improves the overall texture and elasticity of the skin, too.
Over time, as the skin heals and new collagen forms, scars become less prominent. RF microneedling can help to soften the edges of scars, reduce their depth, and improve their overall appearance. Three sessions are often recommended for optimal results.
Overall, RF microneedling is effective for treating scars because it targets both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin, promoting natural healing and collagen production. It’s a safe and relatively comfortable procedure with minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for scar revision all over the face and body.

How RF Microneedling Works
RF (Radiofrequency) Microneedling works by combining two effective techniques: microneedling and radiofrequency energy. Microneedling involves the use of 32 gold-plated tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin firmness, elasticity, and texture. Radiofrequency (RF) Energy is a type of electromagnetic energy that generates heat when it interacts with tissue. In RF Microneedling, radiofrequency energy is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin through these needles. Combining microneedling with RF energy amplifies the benefits of both techniques!
Microneedling without Radiofrequency?
This is a treatment often utilized by businesses to create quick micro-injuries to the skin for resurfacing purposes. What’s missing? Microneedling without radiofrequency is like getting a cake without any of the icing. These small handheld outlet charged machines are not able to penetrate through the tissues of the skin deeply – which doesn’t give clients long-lasting impressive results. Furthermore, by not getting the radiofrequency energies, you’re missing out on the mega boost of collagen and elastin production, too. If you’re wanting to invest in your skin and appearance, complete the best treatment on the market when it comes to microneedling – microneedling WITH radiofrequency.
