At their core, both microneedling RF and microchanneling stimulate your skin’s natural healing process—known as the healing cascade. This boosts collagen and elastin production to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. The key difference lies in how each treatment enhances that healing.

Microneedling RF, especially with our advanced Secret RF system, combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy. This combination penetrates deeper layers of the skin, triggering more significant collagen remodeling and delivering results more quickly than traditional microneedling alone. It’s ideal for addressing fine lines, uneven texture, mild skin laxity, and even early signs of aging. Think of it as the fast track to firmer, more youthful skin.

Microchanneling is a more surface-level treatment but still highly effective. During the procedure, a stem cell-derived serum is applied directly to the microchannels created by the device, which enhances the skin’s healing response. This leads to visible improvements in skin vibrance, fine lines, texture, and mild acne-related concerns like pigment and scarring. It’s a great option for hydration, glow, and ongoing maintenance, especially for those with a longer treatment timeline or specific concerns.

The right treatment for you depends on your goals, your timeline, and your budget. If you’re looking for more dramatic results in fewer sessions, microneedling RF may be the right fit. If you prefer a gentler approach with noticeable improvements over time, microchanneling offers a beautiful, non-invasive path to refreshed skin.
