At-Home Microneedling RF Delivers the Same Anti-Aging Benefits as Microneedling at a MedSpa

This is a Myth: Manufacturers of at-home Microneedle rollers often claim that their devices are just as effective as the state-of-the-art versions used by dermatologists.

Don’t fall for it. Our trained, board-certified skin experts utilize top-of-the-line medical grade Microneedling machines that are only safe when in the hands of a trained practitioner (whether at home or at a doctor’s office). Furthermore, because the at-home micro-needling procedure uses a lesser-quality device, one will not get the same beautiful results, and could risk damaging the skin further.

Microneedling Leaves Holes in The Skin

This is True: Microneedling RF treatment does create controlled injuries in the skin, but it does not leave the face resembling an aerated front lawn in the way that an at-home device does. The needle punctures are so small that no one can see them, even close up. The effect, though, is that the skin may look flushed, but this passes soon.

The purpose of creating these microscopic punctures is to stir collagen production so the skin heals faster and looks more youthful, which is why patients consider the procedure in the first place!

It is Safe and Effective to Microneedle Around Your Eyes and Lips

This Is True: Another reason to trust micro-needling RF treatment in the hands of an expert practitioner from Lazaderm is that it’s necessary for delicate areas such as the eyes and lips. As a result, several micro-needling tools come equipped with special rollers for use in the following sensitive areas:

  • Upper eyelid
  • Around the side the nose
  • Upper lip

Microneedling is Not Only Good for its Anti-Aging Benefits

This is True: It’s true that the majority of patients seek a micro-needling RF treatment for its anti-aging benefits like smooth, taut skin and a less wrinkled appearance, but it also corrects scarring due to acne. The collagen that the procedure creates helps fade scarring. The result is the restoration of flawless skin!
