Is deeper better with RF microneedling?

Question

I’m about to go in soon for my first treatment of RF microneedling and I was wondering if the depth of the needle matters? Is going deeper going to yield better results?

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

The depth at which the needle should go is dependent on each patient. Factors to consider are skin quality, area of treatment, as well as provider's discretion. Despite the abundance of RF microneedling devices available, it's crucial to thoroughly research to find the best one for your needs. Potenza stands out as the first RF microneedling device offering four distinct modes (monopolar, bipolar, 1MHz, 2MHz) and various needle tip options. This versatility allows it to cater to individual needs, providing highly personalized results.

Depending on body area yes, but in general beyond. You don't want to damage the skin more than you need

Ami Shah Vira, MD · Answer

The depth for microneedling is dependent on the area being treated and how thick the skin is or the area that needs to be treated. The power is typically adjusted and while higher power can sometimes be uncomfortable, effective results can be seen with low power and multiple passes.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Microneedling depth will vary by patient and treated area.  It is important that you are having your treatment performed by an experienced, trained professional.  She/He will assess your concerns and skin to determine the correct depth for each area.
