RF Microneedling
RF Microneedling employs gold-plated microneedles that penetrate and deliver pulses of radiofrequency (RF) energy into the dermis.
It is a more potent version of regular microneedling with deeper penetration and controlled injury. This combination of microneedles and RF energy creates micro-injuries and stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer skin. Think of it as microneedling but on steroids.
