Radio frequency microneedling, I will put as an F. Okay. Microneedling, I will put as an A. Okay, great. Huge difference, right? Huge difference. So we're tapping into the world of... things that you can do to your skin to improve its appearance and health. And that's light-based devices, energy-based devices, mechanical-based devices, things like that.

Why I don't like radiofrequency microneedling? Several reasons. Number one, radio frequency treats a whole different part of the skin than does microneedling. Microneedling, the general depth that it can penetrate at most is somewhere around two and a half millimeters. And when we use microneedling, our goal is to stimulate collagen induction through making microscopic pokes in the skin.

That's what it does. And it does it without heat. The beauty of microneedling is its mechanical injury, not heat injury. So historically, ethnic skin like yourself, myself, you know, African-American skin, what have you, could not tolerate a lot of laser devices. The heat would destroy the cells that produces our skin color, the melanocytes.

So we could do all these things amazingly in white skin, and it was studied in white skin, but ethnic skin, we're like, yeah, you can't use this laser, you can't use this laser, etc., etc. We have nothing for you. Microneedling came about.

It's actually an old technique, very popular in India and the Middle East that was around for many, many years and caught popularity in the US more recently as a way to induce collagen without heat, but mechanical injury. So now we have a way to improve scars, to improve texture. Radio frequency is heat that's deposited in a layer below where the microneedle reaches.

And the problem with radio frequency is it falls in this like ambiguous, doesn't work really great zone. It's not deep enough to cause tightening in the fat layer. And it's not shallow enough to get the benefits that we're looking for things that treat the top layer of skin. So what I see often is it's

You know, whenever you get something that is too good to be true, they say it treats everything or it does everything, you should start to question it. Like, does it really treat scars and redness and blemish and wrinkles and fine lines and brown spots? Can't really do that. You start to see the consequences.
