Several benefits come with the nature of maturing:
- A stronger sense of self
- Increased stability
- An empowered perspective
- Healthier relationships
It can also come with surprises in the mirror. Fine lines and wrinkles suddenly appear. Skin on the cheeks, forehead, neck, and beyond seems looser than before, not springing back like it once did.
We don’t have to like everything that aging skin brings to the table. That’s why Anushka Spa and Salon offers natural skin enhancement through two different modalities of microneedling. West Palm Beach comes to Anushka for microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) microneedling to address signs of aging, so that how you look outside reflects how you feel inside—vibrant, youthful, and radiant.
What’s the difference between them? Book an appointment to discuss your options, and read on for a side-by-side look at a treatment that puts your best side forward.
Microneedling vs. RF Microneedling
Here in the Palm Beaches, we thrive on looking our best. From the gala scene to strolling Worth Avenue on weekends in search of the freshest fashion finds, we like to shine as nice as the weather.
Microneedling helps your skin look refreshed and youthful. When you come to Anushka, our providers will discuss which version of microneedling best suits your needs.
A simple side-by-side comparison shows what each accomplishes and how:
| Feature/Action/Result | Microneedling | RF Microneedling |
| How It Works | Uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates natural healing and collagen production. | Does the same—but adds radiofrequency (RF) energy to trigger more collagen production in deeper skin layers. |
| Action Type | Mechanical, using only the needles themselves | Mechanical (needles) + Thermal (RF energy/heat) |
| Treatment Depth | Primarily targets the superficial to mid-layers of the skin. | Reaches deeper into the dermis via the RF energy. |
| Skin Laxity | Improves skin texture and promotes collagen production. Mild tightening may occur as a result of collagen stimulation. | Provides significant skin tightening as RF energy causes deeper tissues to contract while stimulating more collagen and elastin production. |
| Acne Scars | Effective for mild-to-moderate surface-level scarring. | More effective for deeper and more stubborn acne scars. |
| Wrinkles & Fine Lines | Good for improving fine lines and overall skin texture. | Effective for deeper wrinkles and lines. |
| Enlarged Pores | Can help minimize the appearance of enlarged pores. | Shows more significant improvement due to enhanced skin tightening. |
| Suitability | Suitable for most skin types. | Generally safe for most skin types, but the adjustable RF energy delivery can be particularly beneficial for different skin tones and concerns. |
| Downtime | Minimal; may involve a few days of redness and mild swelling, like a slight sunburn. | Due to the deeper treatment, can have slightly longer downtime. Redness, swelling, and mild sensitivity may last slightly longer. |
Microneedling: The Original Collagen Booster
For our microneedling in West Palm Beach, your Anushka provider applies a hand-held microneedling pen to the skin along your treatment area. This device has a specialized head with a series of 11 extremely fine, small needles that create controlled, microscopic injuries (microinjuries) across the skin’s surface.
Once the microneedling process is completed, your provider massages an active blend of collagen-enhancing serums into the skin. This serum helps rejuvenate the surface skin cells and penetrates slightly deeper via the microchannels for enhanced healing benefits.
During the healing process, your body sends fibroblasts to the treatment area, just as it would with larger, more intense wounds. These cells create more collagen, rebuilding frameworks lost due to aging and boosting current collagen frameworks.
In essence, your provider “tricks” your body into thinking it has been wounded. In the end, the process strengthens your skin and improves its texture.
A Customized Treatment
We customize each session for microneedling near you to achieve the correct depth depending on your:
- History with the procedure
- Degree of skin damage
- Desired results
For this non-RF version of microneedling, West Palm Beach clients usually choose 4 to 6 treatments across several weeks for optimal results.
Microneedling Benefits
When you have microneedling at Anushka, you can experience:
- Reduced wrinkles and fine lines
- Boosted collagen production for enhanced skin volume
- Slight lifting and firming of sagging skin
- Diminished scarring, including acne scars
- Reduced appearance of stretch marks
- Ongoing improvement as the body’s healing processes continue
- Fast initial results (as little as 24 hours to 3 days after initial treatment)
- Fewer signs of aging, especially in combination with corrective serums
Plus, your skin can exhibit that coveted youthful glow to match the way you feel inside!
How often should you get microneedling?
Though most clients choose 4 to 6 treatments, the answer depends on your skin concerns and your sensitivities.
For example, if you have sensitive skin, we may advise you to take a longer break between appointments.
If your skin responds well to microneedling, West Palm Beach appointment frequency may be set to every 3 to 6 months.
Or, should the treatment be to address scarring—including more severe acne scarring—the Anushka team may recommend 1 session per month for 4 to 6 months.
When your main course of treatments have finished, we can recommend touch-up appointments to help keep your results at their best—and we’re here whenever you feel your skin could use a little boost.
Going Deeper With RF Microneedling
West Palm Beach enjoys plenty of sun, sand, and surf. This kind of natural beauty has its price, as overindulgence can cause signs of aging to show up earlier and more visibly.
To help, Anushka offers the advanced SkinPen microneedling system combined with Venus Legacy RF system for empowered radiofrequency microneedling.
SkinPen uses a series of ultra-fine microneedles to create microinjuries on the skin’s surface, prompting the body’s natural healing response.
When your provider finishes with SkinPen, they will use the Venus Legacy system to deliver customized RF energy. Venus Legacy allows providers to personalize the power and depth of the RF energy penetration through skin layers. This energy heats target tissue to stimulate collagen and elastin production at the surface and below.
Multiple Treatment Areas for RF Microneedling
West Palm Beach style shows off more than just our faces. Our 2-fold RF Microneedling treatment provides results almost anywhere on your body. Depending on the area being treated, we’ll expertly select the correct needle penetration depth, and the power and spread of the RF energy.
RF Microneedling Benefits
This dual-action methodology of both microneedling and RF thermal heating results in:
- Tighter skin
- Improved skin elasticity
- Reduced wrinkles
- Diminished sagging/laxity
- Improved skin texture
- Reduced appearance of acne scars
- More even skin tone
- Diminished—and in some cases erased—signs of aging
Rediscover your best look so that you mature with even more grace, beauty, and confidence, right here in the best place to live!
An Additional Benefit: Improved Circulation
As the tiny, controlled microinjuries trigger your body’s natural healing response, another benefit includes improved circulation.
Even as the treatment boosts the skin’s cellular turnover rate—the shedding and replacing of cells—more capillaries grow in the area, providing better cellular support and that lovely “glow.”
These results build over time, culminating in lasting improvements and restored confidence.
How does RF microneedling help with acne?
For Anushka clients who suffer from acne, our RF microneedling treatment helps to address both the recurrence of acne breakouts and the scarring that acne can cause.
When the acne is not in an active breakout, an RF Microneedling treatment adds 2 major benefits to your current acne care:
- Wound-healing: Your body’s natural reaction replaces current damaged cells with new, healthy skin cells. In combination with enhanced collagen and elastin production, pores shrink, and oil and sebum production reduces. This diminishes the growth of acne-causing bacteria and, ergo, the presence of cystic acne.
- Thermal heating: Along with the extra boost to collagen and elastin production, RF energy can destroy existing acne-causing bacteria, thereby minimizing breakouts.
How long will microneedling results last?
Because no two clients are exactly alike, the duration of optimal results varies from person to person.
For both styles of microneedling, results continue to improve over the following several months as the body’s natural healing processes finish their work. Once optimal results are achieved, they can last up to several months.
We do recommend regular touch-ups to keep your skin looking its best.
Who shouldn’t get microneedling?
As much as we love the results from traditional and RF microneedling, West Palm Beach clients should consider these possible contraindications:
- Active acne breakouts
- Inflammatory acne
- Presence of cold sores
- Active infections
Presence of eczema/psoriasis/rosacea - Tendency for keloid scarring
- Autoimmunity issues
- Pregnancy
Your Anushka provider will go over these and any other possibilities to determine your eligibility. Should a concern prevent you from receiving microneedling or RF microneedling at this time, your provider can suggest alternatives to help you look your very best.
It All Starts and Ends With Skin Care
Your Anushka provider begins your session—whether traditional microneedling or RF microneedling—with a thorough facial cleansing with hyaluronic acid-based products. This massage-like step removes any makeup, oils, and debris from the skin.
Next, your provider applies a growth factor serum. It benefits your skin’s surface immediately, and once your microneedling starts, the needles help the serum penetrate to the cells below.
As the final step of your session, your provider follows up with another layer of the serum, over which they apply a mask to seal everything in for maximum effect.
Before you head out, we’ll suggest medical-grade skincare products that will best support your results.
