Is RF Microneedling Worth the Price? Cost and Benefits Explained
What Is RF Microneedling and How Does It Work?
RF microneedling, or radio frequency microneedling, treats saggy skin, marionette lines, saggy cheeks, fine lines, sun spots, pimple scars, and rosacea. The treatment uses tiny needles combined with radiofrequency energy to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process, medically referred to as negative stimulation, works by damaging the deeper collagen layer to trigger the production of new, supportive collagen. For menopausal skin, which needs extra help in this area, MedVSpa combines all RF microneedling treatments with biorevitalization, an additional therapy is included in the microneedling treatment cost. SylfirmX, the RF microneedling technology used at MedVSpa, is safe for all skin types and has a short downtime of about 3 hours. The treatment can be performed year-round, with no risk of post-treatment hyperpigmentation or fat loss in the face.
