How It Works

RF Microneedling & Intradermal Boosters

RF microneedling: heat delivered at the needle tipsInsulated microneedles enter the dermis to a set depth and release radiofrequency heat at their tips, leaving small coagulation zones that fibroblasts remodel with new collagen. RF microneedlingSylfirm X · Potenza · insulated needlesEpidermisPapillary dermis0.3–1.5 mmReticular dermis1.5–3.0 mmSubcutisneedle cartridgedepth set0.5–3.5mmfibroblasts · new collagenInsulated needles release RF at the tips: small coagulationzones heal, and fibroblasts lay down new collagen over weeksto months. The surface wounds are tiny channels.
Polynucleotides and skinboosters: intradermal microdropletsA fine needle places microdroplets of polynucleotide or hyaluronic acid product into the dermis, near the fibroblasts.

Figure · RF microneedling vs. polynucleotide & HA skinboostersRF microneedling heats the dermis through needle tips; polynucleotide (PN / PDRN) and hyaluronic-acid boosters are placed as microdroplets in the dermis. Both depend on the skin’s own repair, so results build over weeks. Needle depth range is typical of current platforms; illustrative, not to scale.
