Inflammatory LED treatments, especially red and near-infrared light, can help reduce inflammation and promote healing in conditions like acne, rosacea, and psoriasis. They also aid in soothing eczema flare-ups and accelerating wound healing by stimulating collagen production. These therapies are non-invasive and can improve skin health by reducing redness, irritation, and promoting tissue repair.
Alongside radiofrequency (RF) treatments, complementary therapies like Rejuran (a polynucleotide-based skin booster) can enhance results by improving skin hydration, elasticity, and overall regeneration. Rejuran works on a cellular level to heal and rejuvenate the skin, while RF stimulates collagen production and tightens skin. Other options include PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for enhanced healing, or microneedling for resurfacing, all of which can work synergistically with RF to deliver firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin.
Skin needling (microneedling) uses fine needles to create micro-injuries, stimulating collagen production to improve skin texture, scars, and fine lines. RF needling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, delivering heat into deeper skin layers for enhanced collagen remodeling and skin tightening. While both improve skin quality, RF needling is more effective for addressing sagging and deeper wrinkles due to its added thermal effect.
Skin Needling / Radio Frequency
Advanced Treatments to Tighten, Smooth, and Revitalise Your Skin
At Epicell, we offer two cutting-edge, non-surgical treatments for skin rejuvenation: Radiofrequency (RF) therapy and microneedling. Both treatments stimulate collagen production to tighten skin, reduce wrinkles, and enhance overall skin texture. While each method offers powerful anti-aging benefits, they differ in their approach, making them ideal for different skin concerns and goals.
What is Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy?
RF therapy uses radiofrequency energy to penetrate deep into the skin, heating the tissue layers beneath the surface. This heat stimulates collagen production and causes skin tightening over time. RF therapy is highly effective for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, improving skin elasticity, and lifting areas with mild sagging.
Benefits of RF Therapy:
Non-Invasive & Painless: No needles are required, making RF therapy painless with no recovery time.
Tightening & Lifting: Firms and lifts loose skin on the face and body.
Improved Collagen Production: Encourages collagen regeneration for long-term skin firmness.
Suitable for All Skin Types: RF can be used safely on various skin tones and types.
Common RF Treatment Areas:
Face (jawline, cheeks, and forehead)
Neck and décolletage
Abdomen and upper arms
Thighs and buttocks
What is Skin Needling (Microneedling)?
Microneedling, or skin needling, involves using a device with fine needles that create tiny, controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. Microneedling is ideal for treating surface-level skin concerns, such as fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
Benefits of Microneedling:
Refines Skin Texture: Reduces acne scars, large pores, and rough skin texture.
Enhances Skin Tone & Brightness: Improves pigmentation issues for a more even complexion.
Minimally Invasive: Minimal discomfort and downtime, with only mild redness post-treatment.
Customisable for Different Skin Concerns: Can be adjusted in intensity to target specific concerns.
Common Microneedling Treatment Areas:
Face (including the delicate under-eye area)
Neck and décolletage
Hands and body (for stretch marks and other imperfections)
Radiofrequency vs. Microneedling: Key Differences
Aspect | Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy | Microneedling |
Treatment Depth | Works on deeper skin layers for lifting and firming | Targets surface layers for skin texture improvements |
Best for | Tightening loose or sagging skin, lifting | Acne scars, fine lines, large pores, and uneven texture |
Downtime | Minimal to 7 days | Mild redness that fades in 1-2 days |
Pain Level | Generally painless, may feel warm | Slight discomfort; a numbing cream is usually applied |
Skin Types | Safe for all skin types and tones | Safe for most skin types; adjust for sensitive skin |
Combining RF & Microneedling for Optimal Results
For patients seeking both skin tightening and surface refinement, RF microneedling (a combination of both therapies) can be an effective option. This advanced treatment combines the collagen-boosting benefits of microneedling with the deep tissue firming effects of RF energy.
The result? Smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
