What Is Microneedling? Benefits, Types & Why It’s a Game Changer for Your Skin
If you're struggling with acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, or dull, uneven skin tone — microneedling might be the skin reset you've been looking for. This powerful treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production to rejuvenate your skin from within.
At Permaskin, we specialize in RF Microneedling, the most advanced and effective form of microneedling available today. But how does it compare to traditional at-home methods like dermarollers?
Let’s break it down.
🌿 What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) is a skin treatment that uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates your body’s natural wound healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production.
Microneedling is proven to improve:
Acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Fine lines and wrinkles
Stretch marks
Large pores
Uneven tone and texture
Dull, aging skin
What Is RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling (Radiofrequency Microneedling) combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. As the needles penetrate the skin, they also deliver heat into the deeper dermis — dramatically enhancing collagen production and skin tightening.
Benefits of RF Microneedling:
✅ Smoother skin texture
✅ Tighter, firmer skin
✅ Fewer fine lines and wrinkles
✅ Improvement in acne scars and discoloration
✅ Longer-lasting results compared to traditional microneedling
💡 RF Microneedling is especially effective for aging skin, deep acne scars, and overall skin laxity.
At Permaskin, our licensed estheticians use FDA-cleared RF microneedling technology to ensure safe, customized, and highly effective treatments.
🛑 What About Dermarollers?
Dermarollers are at-home devices with tiny needles that roll across the skin. While they may provide a temporary glow, they come with several limitations:
🚫 Inconsistent needle depth
🚫 Higher risk of skin irritation or infection
🚫 Not effective for deeper skin concerns like scars or wrinkles
🚫 No heat = limited collagen stimulation
The Bottom Line:
Dermarollers are not a substitute for professional microneedling — especially not RF microneedling. If you're serious about real, visible results, professional treatments are the safest and most effective choice.
