Before we compare RF Microneedling machines, as well as explain the PiXel 8 RF benefits and advantages, let’s briefly discuss what Microneedling with Radiofrequency is. For an in-depth look at this treatment –> RF Microneedling FAQs.  

• Microneedling – a hand-held device holds a network of super fine needles. During the procedure, it makes micro-injury at customizable depths. This sparks the body’s healing response. As a result, collagen and elastin are boosted and cellular turnover is prompted over time.
• Radiofrequency uses bipolar RF energy at a specific wavelength, in order to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin. During the procedure, Radiofrency energy enters the microchannels created by the Microneedling, in order to cause collagen and elastin fibers to contract and regroup. As a result, this process works gradually to lift and tighten the skin at the dermal layer of the skin.

Smooth Synergy® Medical Spa uses only the PiXel 8 RF Microneedling system. It’s the best system to assure safe and comfortable treatment, as well as the best RF Microneedling results. In a nutshell, its advantages include:

• Adjustable needle depth

• Adjustable needle count

• Precise and controlled micro-punctures

• Ideal space between needles

• Arctic Chill Cooling Device

• Option of Insulated or Non-Insulated Needles

What do these PiXel 8 RF benefits mean for you? We’ll drill down further on their advantages below:

The PiXel8 RF machine is a fully customizable treatment. The needle depth ranges from 0.5 ml to 3.5 ml. As a result, the practitioner can pick a needle depth based on:

• The thickness of skin on the treatment area

• The specific ratio of fat to skin on each individual client

Additionally, it can effectively reach areas with thinner skin that are typically harder to treat, such as under eyes. As a result, you are assured fully personalized RF treatment for both your individual skin, as well as your specific treatment area.

PiXel8-RF Microneedling device comes equipped with three different heads with a count of 25, 49 or 64 needles, respectively.

When combined with the adjustable depth of needles, this feature gives the esthetician great flexibility to customize treatment. Specifically, this feature allows the esthetician to adjust the spacing of the RF Microneedles on the device.

As we said above, each client has their own individual thickness of skin. Additionally, each treatment area has a different thickness of skin.

Therefore, the esthetician needs the ability to space needles appropriately, in order to assure the best treatment.

The PiXel 8 RF device creates precise, vertical microwounds. As a result, superficial wounds heal more quickly. Additionally, the process of collagen induction is superior to other RF Microneedling systems. Therefore, you can expect better RF Microneedling results including,

• Skin tightening, lifting, and firming

• Improving skin texture, including minimizing pore size

• Repairing skin imperfections including repairing acne scars and stretch marks

• Evening skin tone, including reversing hyperpigmentation, dark marks, and age spots

Is PiXel 8 RF painful? Thankfully, the answer is typically, no. Specifically, the PiXel 8 RF Microneedling machine comes equipped with the Arctic Chill Cooling Device, which makes treatment more comfortable. Specifically, it cools the epidermis before the Microneedling device is applied to the skin. 

It should be noted that the Radiofrequency portion of the treatment is considered as gentle and soothing as a hot-stone massage, and that the Arctic Chill is primarily used for the physical penetration of the Microneedles. 

This PiXel 8 RF Microneedling feature is a distinction of note for people of color.

For RF Microneedling for dark skin tones, our estheticians can use insulated needles, which deliver energy only through the tip, in order to prevent the buildup of heat near the surface of the skin.

Specifically, this feature prevents injury to the melanocytes, which sit at the juncture between the dermis and epidermis.

Melanocytes are the skin cells that are responsible for producing pigment or color in our skin.

In people with dark skin tones, melanocytes are more prone to producing excessive color. In addition, the melanocytes are particularly sensitive to any trauma to the skin and/or exposure to light.

As a result, people of color are more susceptible to PIH or Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation.

Unlike traditional lasers, the insulated needles of the PiXel8 RF system reduce the risk of PIH in people of color. Specifically, people with daker skin tones who are condsidered Fitzpatrick Type IV-VI.

Disposable cartridges on the PiXel 8 RF system assures maximum safety and hygiene.
