You’re scrolling through photos from last weekend and notice your skin doesn’t look quite as smooth or firm as it used to. Maybe those acne scars haven’t faded like you hoped, or fine lines seem more noticeable in certain lighting. If you’ve been thinking about ways to refresh your skin, microneedling may be on your radar. But what type is best—traditional microneedling or RF (radiofrequency) microneedling?
At Spa Sydell Integrative Aesthetics, we offer both options. Our experienced aestheticians will assess your skin type, concerns, and goals to determine the most effective treatment for you.
What Is Traditional Microneedling?
Traditional microneedling uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the skin. These tiny punctures activate the body’s natural healing process and stimulate collagen production—an essential protein that helps keep skin firm and youthful.
Common concerns treated with traditional microneedling include:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone or texture
Downtime is typically minimal. Most clients experience mild redness and swelling for just a day or two.
What Makes RF Microneedling Different?
In addition to tiny needles, Radiofrequency microneedling delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the skin. The added heat promotes more intensive collagen remodeling, making this treatment especially effective for those seeking firmer, tighter skin.
RF microneedling is commonly chosen for:
- Skin tightening and lifting
- Deeper wrinkles or more prominent acne scars
- Improving overall skin tone and texture
Which One Should You Choose?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. At Spa Sydell, your provider will perform a personalized consultation to determine the best approach for your unique skin. Whether traditional or RF microneedling is recommended will depend on your specific concerns, skin type, and desired results.
