If you’re looking for skin tightening in Victoria, BC, you’ve likely come across radio frequency (RF) skin tightening and microneedling. Both treatments are highly effective for collagen stimulation, wrinkle reduction, and skin rejuvenation, but which one is best for your skin concerns? At Moi Aging Gracefully, I offer both treatments to help clients achieve youthful, glowing skin through advanced, non-invasive skincare technology.


What is Radio Frequency Skin Tightening?


RF skin tightening uses controlled heat energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving firmness, elasticity, and skin tone while reducing fine lines, sagging, and wrinkles.


Best for: Mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, and collagen stimulation

Pain level: Minimal—most clients describe it as a warm, soothing sensation

Downtime: None—return to daily activities immediately

Results: Gradual improvement over weeks as collagen rebuilds


What is Microneedling?


Microneedling creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin, triggering a natural healing response that boosts collagen and elastin production. This treatment helps with texture, scars, wrinkles, and sagging, leading to a smoother, firmer appearance.


Best for: Fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, and overall skin rejuvenation

Pain level: Mild discomfort, but numbing cream makes it very tolerable

Downtime: 24–48 hours of mild redness, like a sunburn. You will also have to change your towel and pill case, and stay away from vigorous physical activity for 24/48h. You will also need to protect your skin from the sun. It sounds worst then it really is...

Results: Visible improvements in 2–4 weeks as the skin regenerates


Which One Should You Choose?


Both treatments offer effective anti-aging benefits, but they target different concerns: 🔹 If loose skin is your main issue, radio frequency is the go-to for deep tissue tightening.🔹 If you have textural concerns, acne scars, or wrinkles, microneedling is best for surface-level rejuvenation.🔹 For maximum results, I often combine both treatments at Moi Aging Gracefully for a powerful collagen-boosting effect!
