TT Talks: MICRONEEDLING vs MICRONEEDLING RADIO FREQUENCY

They’re often talked about as if they’re the same treatment, and we get the confusion. But they’re definitely not the same!

One common myth is that microneedling melts fat. It doesn’t. Traditional microneedling doesn’t generate heat, so it won’t reduce fat. You’re probably thinking of Microneedling Radio Frequency which we have in clinic. Some RF Microneedling treatments could potentially affect fat at specific depths, which is why choosing the right treatment (and therapist) matters. I’m personally not a massive fan of Microneedling RF for the face, I use it a lot for the body and literally obsessed with the results. I’ve had great success for the tummy area and back of arms.

→ So let’s clear it all up. Here’s how to choose the right one for you.. .

“MICRONEEDLING - stimulates collagen by creating tiny micro-channels in the skin. When your body’s wound healing process is triggered, you’ll produce more collagen and elastin, so if the goal is healthier, stronger skin, this is usually where I’d start. There doesn’t need to be much downtime for fantastic results, so great for anyone who doesn’t want much redness.

“MICRONEEDLING RADIO FREQUNCY is different. It combines Microneedling with Radio Frequency. We have a British x Korean model by Lynton. This penetrates deeper and delivers more intense heat, for significant skin tightening, contouring, and skin tightening. It’s not ‘better’ microneedling, it’s a completely different treatment for a different concern.” T loves this treatment for body areas.

WHICH WOULD I CHOOSE?

Go for Microneedling if your priority is

• Skin quality
• Texture
• Glow
• Acne scarring
• Early signs of ageing

Choose RF MICRONEEDLING  if your priority is 

• Tightening
• Skin laxity
• Crepey skin
• Body treatments
• Deeper structural remodelling

(Or choose to come in for a consultation and we can help you decide!)

Sensitive to Vitamin C?

Despite what you’ve heard, Vitamin C isn’t for everyone! If it leaves your skin feeling irritated or congested, don’t assume active skincare isn’t for you, you just need the right actives!
Niacinamide is one of the hardest-working ingredients in skincare, an incredible multitasker and super gentle even on sensitive skin.
It’s why I’ve been using it in my products for years, ‘because It can calm redness, reduce excess oil, brighten pigmentation, improve hydration and support healthier-looking skin over time.
(That’s exactly why it’s a hero ingredient in my Anti+ Serum and microneedling kit.)
