Why is sunscreen important for all four seasons?
Often we think if we can’t feel, or see the sun that it is safe to go without sunscreen on our exposed skin. Not true!
Which Treatment Is Right for You: SkinPen vs. RF Microneedling?
Microneedling is a popular cosmetic procedure that can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and other skin imperfections. Here at Begin with Skin MedSpa we offer two options for of microneedling services: SkinPen and RF Microneedling. While both treatments offer similar benefits, there are some key differences that may make one a better choice for you.
How They Work
Both SkinPen and RF microneedling work by creating micro wounds in the skin. This triggers the body's natural healing response, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are proteins that give skin its structure and elasticity. In our mid-to-late twenties collagen begins to decline, with a drastic decline in our sixties. The decline in collagen and elastin production leads to wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and other signs of aging.
The key difference between SkinPen and RF Microneedling is that RF Microneedling uses radiofrequency energy to heat the skin. This heat can further stimulate collagen production and provide additional skin tightening benefits.

Why One Might Be More Beneficial Than the Other...
In general, SkinPen is a good option for people who are looking for a minimally invasive way to improve the appearance of their skin. It is also a good choice for people who have sensitive skin. RF Microneedling may be a better option for people who are looking for more dramatic results. It is also a good choice for people who have deeper wrinkles or scars.
