ALLY - RN, BSCN
When it comes to skin rejuvenation, microneedling treatments have earned their place as go-to solutions for creating smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin. But with different options available, such as traditional microneedling and microneedling with radiofrequency (RF), how do you choose which is right for you?
At Aisthetikos, we offer both microneedling with a microneedling pen and RF Microneedling with the EndyMed Pro with 3DEEP technology. While both treatments stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, they have unique benefits depending on your specific needs. Let’s dive into the differences to help you decide.
MICRONEEDLING WITH A PEN
This treatment is like the steady workhorse of skin rejuvenation: reliable, effective, and perfect for a wide range of skin types and concerns.
- How it Works: Using tiny needles that rapidly go in and out of the skin, microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production.
- Best For: Those seeking general skin rejuvenation, improved texture, and a radiant complexion.
- The Benefits:
- No heat is involved, making it safer for all skin types, including darker tones.
- It’s less painful, with minimal downtime—perfect for busy schedules.
- The treatment is quick and can be done every two months for ongoing results.
- It’s also more budget-friendly compared to RF microneedling.
Ideal for anyone looking to refresh their skin without a major time or financial commitment, microneedling is a versatile option for maintaining a youthful glow.
MICRONEEDLING WITH RF USING ENDYMED
This advanced treatment adds the power of heat to traditional microneedling, making it a fantastic choice for targeting more stubborn skin concerns. There are many RF/Microneedling devices such as Morpeus 8.
- How it Works: Gold-plated needles penetrate the skin at a slower rate, delivering radiofrequency heat to a precise depth. This combination stimulates collagen and tightens the skin through each layer.
- Best For: Those with mature skin types or more significant concerns like skin laxity or deep wrinkles.
- The Benefits:
- The added heat promotes more dramatic skin tightening.
- It’s highly effective for lifting and firming sagging skin.
- With only three treatments spaced two months apart, plus annual maintenance, it offers long-lasting results.
Keep in mind, this treatment requires a skilled provider and is not suitable for individuals with melasma or darker skin tones. While RF microneedling involves more downtime and is more aggressive, it’s worth it for those seeking noticeable skin tightening and a more youthful appearance. Either treatment cant be paired with PRP, Exosomes or growth factor of your choice for amplified results and decreased downtime.
HOW TO DECIDE
Here’s a quick breakdown to guide your choice:
- Go for Microneedling pen if:
- You’re looking for a budget-friendly option with minimal downtime.
- Your skin goal is general rejuvenation, better texture, or treating acne scars.
- You want a treatment suitable for all skin types and tones.
- Choose RF Microneedling with Endymed if:
- Skin tightening is your main priority, you have aging skin, or you’re addressing deeper lines and wrinkles.
- You’re comfortable with more downtime and a higher price point for more dramatic results. Downtime can be dramatically shortened with Exosomes which we pair as a standard treatment. For example, it could be 12 hours with vs 5 days without.
- You have lighter skin tones and aren’t prone to melasma.
