Different Types of Microneedling in Singapore
Microneedling is a popular skin rejuvenation treatment that improves skin texture, elasticity, and overall appearance by stimulating collagen production. While traditional microneedling involves creating controlled micro-injuries to trigger skin repair, advancements in aesthetic technology have led to various microneedling techniques, each offering unique benefits.
1. Traditional Microneedling
- Uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin.
- Boosts collagen and elastin production, improving fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
- Enhances the absorption of skincare products for better results.
- Suitable for overall skin rejuvenation, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
2. RF Microneedling (Radiofrequency Microneedling)
- Combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to deliver heat deep into the skin.
- Effectively tightens sagging skin, reduces wrinkles, and improves acne scars.
- Stimulates collagen at deeper layers, leading to longer-lasting results.
Ideal for those with skin laxity, deep scars, or advanced signs of aging.
3. Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
- Involves applying Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), derived from the patient’s own blood, after microneedling.
- PRP contains growth factors that accelerate healing, boost collagen production, and improve skin renewal.
- Great for enhancing skin radiance, reducing hyperpigmentation, and speeding up recovery.
Recommended for dull, aging skin or those seeking maximum rejuvenation.
4. Microneedling with Stem Cells or Exosomes
- Uses stem cell serums or exosome-based therapies to enhance skin repair and regeneration.
- Provides powerful anti-aging benefits by promoting cellular turnover and collagen synthesis.
- Helps with skin hydration, fine lines, and overall skin health.
Suitable for those looking for next-level rejuvenation beyond traditional treatments.
5. Microneedling with Hyaluronic Acid Infusion
- Combines microneedling with hyaluronic acid, a powerful skin hydrator.
- Improves skin plumpness, hydration, and elasticity while reducing fine lines.
- Perfect for dry, dehydrated, or aging skin in need of moisture retention.
How does RF Microneedling Work?
RF Microneedling devices deliver controlled and efficient RF energy into your skin via very small needles.
Micro needles penetrate the skin in a well controlled manner, producing micro injuries to the skin that stimulate collagen regeneration and natural wound healing while breaking down scar and fibrous tissues at the same time.
Radio Frequency (RF) energy is delivered via these micro needles, generating heat in the skin at 40-60°C resulting in coagulation, skin contraction and collagen production.
What can RF Microneedling Treatment Treat?
RF Microneedling in Singapore combines continuous wave and pulsed wave technology to precisely target multiple skin concerns. This advanced treatment effectively addresses a broad range of skin conditions on the face, neck, and body, promoting skin rejuvenation, repair, and tightening at a deeper level.
1. Skin Pigmentation & Uneven Tone
Melasma – Reduces stubborn pigmentation by targeting abnormal blood vessels and melanin clusters.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Helps fade dark spots left by acne, injuries, or other skin trauma.
Dull Complexion – Improves skin brightness and radiance by stimulating collagen and enhancing microcirculation.
2. Skin Texture & Acne Scars
Large Pores – Tightens enlarged pores for smoother, more refined skin.
Acne Scars – Breaks down old scar tissue and stimulates collagen remodeling to minimize atrophic (indented) scars.
3. Skin Redness & Sensitivity
Active Acne – Reduces inflammation and sebum production, effectively treating acne-prone skin.
Rosacea & Redness – Strengthens the skin barrier and blood vessels, calming chronic redness and sensitivity.
4. Skin Laxity & Wrinkle Reduction
Sagging Skin – Enhances skin elasticity by promoting deep collagen renewal and tissue tightening.
Wrinkles & Fine Lines – Smooths out creases by rebuilding skin structure and improving firmness.
5. Overall Skin Rejuvenation
Improves skin tone, texture, and hydration for a more youthful, revitalized appearance.
Strengthens the skin barrier, making it more resilient to external damage and aging.
6. Body Skin Concerns
RF Microneedling is not limited to the face and neck—it is also effective for body skin rejuvenation:
Décolletage (Chest Area) – Reduces fine lines, crepey skin, and sun damage.
Abdomen & Stretch Marks – Improves the appearance of post-pregnancy or weight fluctuation stretch marks.
Arms, Knees & Other Areas – Helps tighten loose or wrinkled skin in commonly affected areas.
Enhancing RF Microneedling Results with Targeted Serums
Pairing RF Microneedling with specialized serums can significantly boost treatment effectiveness, delivering deeper skin nourishment and accelerating healing. Since RF Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, applying serums immediately after treatment enhances absorption, allowing potent ingredients to penetrate deeper for optimal skin rejuvenation.
Best Serums to Pair with RF Microneedling:
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Serum – Intensely hydrates and plumps the skin, reducing dryness and fine lines.
- Growth Factors & Peptides – Stimulates faster healing and collagen production for enhanced skin repair and firmness.
- Vitamin C Serum – Brightens the complexion, fades pigmentation, and provides antioxidant protection against environmental damage.
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) Serum – Reduces redness, improves skin texture, and strengthens the skin barrier.
Exosome Serums – Advanced regenerative serums rich in growth factors and cytokines to accelerate skin renewal and healing.
