I am considering skin tightening, collagen building, non invasive treatment for my face, but I don’t know how to choose. I’d like the goodness of skin tightening, reduction of fine lines (eyes, lips) and some texture improvement on my cheek due to a couple of large pores that have magically appeared. I’m 48.

Answer: Thermage and Intracel RF microneedling Thermage monopolar radio frequency tightens existing collagen, stimulates the production of new collagen and results in a firming and lifting effect. RF microneedling stimulates collagen with tiny needles, uses radio frequency milder than Thermage, and improves skin texture and scarring. Many patients have both treatments for an enhanced effect.

Answer: Thermage versus Microneedling Hello and thank you for your question and photos. Both Thermage and RF microneedling can improve the tightness of the skin in treated areas by administering radiofrequency energy to the underlying layers of the skin. The RF energy heats these tissues which spurs the production of collagen and elastin, both of which support healthy skin tone and elasticity. Microneedling has the added benefit of improving scars and large pores in treated areas. Which treatment is better for you depends on the symptoms you have and the present condition of your skin. Schedule an in-person consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon for a full examination and recommendation on a course of treatment. Good luck!
