How Does Microneedling Work?
One of the most popular treatments provided by Saint Aesthetix is microneedling. This procedure activates our body’s natural healing process and boosts collagen formation. In the treated region, we employ a handheld instrument that creates microchannels. This causes the immune system to respond by producing new tissue. Microneedling successfully achieves dramatic results without the use of heat or chemicals by rebuilding dermal tissue throughout 3 to 6 sessions separated by 6 to 8 weeks.
Microneedling is frequently used to treat the following skin conditions:
- Acne-scarring
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyper and Hypopigmentation
- Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Who Is Microneedling For?
It is typically recommended for individuals who are looking to address specific skin concerns such as acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, or uneven skin texture.
Microneedling can be beneficial for a wide range of skin types and ages, but it may not be suitable for everyone. Individuals with certain skin conditions or medical concerns, such as eczema, psoriasis, active acne, or a history of keloid scarring, may not be good candidates for microneedling.
It is always recommended to consult with a licensed skincare professional or dermatologist to determine if microneedling is right for you and to ensure that the procedure is performed safely and effectively.
How Does RF Microneedling Work?
Similar to conventional microneedling, RF (Radio Frequency) microneedling is a superior procedure that boosts the existing advantageous service with radio frequency energy. The device usually utilizes 36 gold-tipped needles that are carefully placed into the skin. It maximizes aesthetic outcomes by administering uniformly distributed heat in a coordinated manner.
The following are some of the most typical skin conditions that RF Microneedling can treat:
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles
- Hyper and Hypopigmentation
- Melasma
- Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
- Scars
- Skin-laxity and Tightening
Dermal tissue can be remodeled by RF microneedling with three to six sessions spaced three to four weeks apart. By reducing uneven skin tone, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and fighting skin laxity by inducing collagen formation, this ground-breaking anti-aging therapy helps us look our best at any age.
Who Is RF Microneedling For?
RF microneedling is suitable for people who want to:
- Improve the texture and tone of their skin
- Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
- Minimize the appearance of acne scars and other types of scars

However, RF microneedling is not recommended for individuals who have:

Which Form Of Care Should I Take?
Traditional microneedling offers a terrific entry point into the world of microneedling, but RF microneedling enhances the procedure with radio frequency for additional skin tightening and anti-aging effects. Nonetheless, we always advise scheduling a free consultation with our aesthetician to assess the best procedure to reach your skin goals.
