Microneedling

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that has gained popularity in Singapore. It involves using a device with fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and stimulating collagen and elastin production.

What does Microneedling do?

Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. The result of microneedling is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

Different types of microneedling:

Traditional microneedling

Traditional microneedling involves using a handheld device with small needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. The depth and intensity of the needles can be adjusted to customise the treatment for each patient. This is microneedling at its most basic and does not incorporate any other type of medical treatment or technology.

Microneedling with PRP

Microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combines microneedling with the patient’s own blood plasma. The blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, which is then applied to the skin during the microneedling treatment. This enhances the skin’s healing process to achieve the desired result. However, this treatment is not approved in Singapore.

Microneedling with RF

Microneedling with radio frequency (RF) is a newer and more advanced type of microneedling treatment. It combines the benefits of microneedling with the skin tightening effects of RF energy. The needles used in this treatment deliver energy into the skin, heating up the skin at two different depths to stimulating collagen production. This results in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

Due to advancement in medical technology, microneedling with RF can now be combined with serum infusion treatments to target specific skin concerns. This allows practitioners to deposit ingredients like vitamin C and even Rejuran Tone-Up Booster deeper into the skin to boost the treatment of a variety of issues like acne scarring and pigmentation.

Who is suitable for microneedling with RF?

Microneedling with RF is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate the skin and treat scars and wrinkles. It is suitable for people with darker skin tones as it does not involve heat which can affect your skin’s pigmentation or colour. It is often called a “collagen induction therapy” and is ideal for patients who are concerned about ageing, saggy skin.

How does Potenza RF Microneedling work?

A popular treatment in Singapore, the Potenza RF Microneedling device uses ultrafine needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin in a controlled manner. These tiny punctures trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production and improving the overall texture and tone of the skin.

The device has patented tips that releases the RF energy at two different depths. It delivers RF energy deep into the skin, heating up the underlying tissues to promote collagen production. This helps to tighten and firm the skin, reducing the appearance of sagging or wrinkled skin

Monopolar RF and Bipolar RF

Monopolar RF penetrates the skin’s surface, delivering uniform heat at a controlled depth to deeper levels of the skin. Bipolar RF delivers thermal energy at a more concentrated but superficial dermal layer to achieve overall skin revitalisation.

Pairing Potenza RF Microneedling with serums

The Potenza treatment can also include the infusion of serums like the Rejuran Tone-Up Booster into our skin with skincare ingredients that address specific skin concerns and aid skin healing.

Is Potenza RF microneedling customisable?

Potenza RF microneedling can be customised to meet the specific needs of each patient. The depth and intensity of the needles and RF energy can be adjusted to target different areas of the face and address different skin concerns.

There are 6 different tips available at Halley Medical Aesthetics:

Fusion Tip (CP 21) – Latest innovation in Potenza microneedling. It has a patented Cushion-Plus technology that allows the tip to push in the topical serums deep into the necessary areas while the microneedle penetrates the exact depth and releases RF energy simultaneously.

Tiger Tip (S25 and S49) – Used for treating more tissue at multiple depths in a single treatment at the same time. This makes it easy to customize treatments based on the patient’s skin type and allows for a faster procedure.

Insulated Needles (I25 and I49) – Used for both targeted and deep treatments for enhanced results around delicate facial areas.

Single Insulated Needles (A1-15) – Used to target and improve blemishes on the skin.

This makes Potenza RF Microneedling a versatile and effective treatment for a wide range of skin concerns.

Potenza RF Microneedling for anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation

Potenza RF Microneedling can stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are two essential proteins that give skin its youthful, firm, and radiant appearance. It will plump up the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture and tone.

Potenza RF Microneedling for skin firming and tightening

The microneedles encourage the production of new collagen and elastin fibres, and the RF energy heats up the underlying layers of skin, causing collagen fibres to contract and tighten, resulting in firmer, smoother skin.

Potenza RF Microneedling for skin pigmentation

Potenza RF microneedling is an effective treatment for dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and other discolourations on the skin. It can help to break up excess pigmentation and stimulate the production of new, healthy skin cells.

Potenza RF Microneedling for acne and acne scars

Potenza RF microneedling can improve the appearance of acne and acne scars. It can reduce inflammation in the acne-affected area, diminish redness, and, in turn, prevent the occurrence of acne scars.
