Microagulhamento RF e canetas de microagulhamento tradicionais são tratamentos cosméticos populares, but they work in slightly different ways and offer distinct benefits.
1. RF Microneedling
- Mecanismo: Combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. The microneedles create micro-injuries in the skin while simultaneously delivering RF energy deep into the skin layers.
- Benefícios:
- RF energy stimulates collagen production, tightening the skin and reducing wrinkles more effectively than microneedling alone.
- Can target deeper skin layers, making it suitable for severe skin issues like deeper scars or sagging.
- Often used to treat fine lines, rugas, acne scars, and skin laxity.
- Better for treating areas like the jawline, pescoço, e corpo, as well as the face.
- Tempo de inatividade: Slightly more downtime than traditional microneedling due to the added heat and potential redness or swelling.
- Eficácia: Considered more effective for anti-aging, tightening, and long-term results.
- Custo: More expensive due to the added RF technology.
2. Microneedling Pen
- Mecanismo: Uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which promotes the body’s natural healing process by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
- Benefícios:
- Great for superficial skin concerns like fine lines, mild scars, and uneven skin texture.
- Promotes collagen production and improves the skin’s overall texture and tone.
- Can be less invasive compared to RF microneedling, so it’s suitable for those with sensitive skin.
- Tempo de inatividade: Typically involves mild redness and swelling, but the recovery time is generally shorter.
- Eficácia: Effective for superficial concerns but less effective for deeper issues like sagging or deeper scars.
- Custo: More affordable than RF microneedling due to its simplicity.
Key Differences Between RF Microneedling & Microneedling Pen
- Depth & Intensity: RF microneedling penetrates deeper and combines the effects of microneedling with thermal energy for more significant results.
- Aperto da pele: RF microneedling is better for skin tightening, while microneedling pens are more for texture improvement.
- Custo: RF microneedling is more expensive due to the added technology.
- Tempo de inatividade: RF microneedling may have slightly longer downtime due to the thermal energy used.
Both treatments are effective, but RF microneedling is often chosen for more advanced skin rejuvenation, while a microneedling pen is suitable for milder concerns.
