Overview, how these treatments differ

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injury to stimulate collagen, best for fine lines, pores, and superficial acne scars. RF Facial Contouring delivers heat into the dermis for firming and contouring, best for skin laxity, jawline, and lower face definition. For full context on aging concerns and how we stage care in Dubai, see the Skin Rejuvenation and Anti-Aging pillar, then use this comparison to choose the right in-clinic start.
