RF Microneedling vs Traditional Microneedling With Pylai Pen
RF microneedling compared with classic Pylai Pen sessions on heat, downtime, results, and when to pay extra.
RF Heat or Classic Pylai Pen? Here Is the Honest Difference
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling adds controlled heat to the same tiny channels you get with a Pylai Pen. Worth it? Depends on your goals, budget, and tolerance for downtime.
What Changes With RF
- Heat: RF tips deliver energy below the surface, tightening collagen a bit faster.
- Depth and coagulation: More effective for deeper scars and laxity.
- Downtime: Slightly more swelling and redness, sometimes pinpoint scabs.
When Classic Pylai Pen Is Enough
- Pores, mild texture, early fine lines.
- Maintenance glow between occasional clinic visits.
- You want quick recovery and control over frequency.
When RF Might Be Worth It
- Deep rolling scars or lax lower face needing more tightening.
- You prefer fewer total sessions even if each costs more.
- You are okay with 2–5 days of visible redness.
Cost and Frequency Snapshot
- RF clinic sessions: 1800–4000 RMB each, spaced 4–6 weeks.
- Pylai Pen at home: Cartridge + serum per session, spaced 3–4 weeks.
- You can blend strategies: one RF session for heavy lifting, then Pylai Pen monthly for upkeep.
Safety Notes
- Do not chase RF depth at home—leave heat to pros.
- For classic sessions, keep depth modest (0.25–0.75 mm face) and pressure light.
- Always use fresh cartridges and SPF after either treatment.
Bottom line: RF is the power tool; the Pylai Pen is the daily driver. Pick the one that matches your skin’s needs and your wallet, or mix them smartly.
