 Is RF Microneedling Safe for All Skin Types? 

RF microneedling is a popular cosmetic procedure that combines radiofrequency technology with microneedling to improve skin texture and firmness. While this treatment is generally considered safe for all skin types, darker skin types need to pretreat to prevent hyperpigmentation. 

For dark skin types, it is crucial to pretreat the skin with a tyrosinase inhibitor prior to undergoing RF microneedling. This pretreatment helps reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, a common concern for individuals with more melanin in their skin. 

By pretreating with a tyrosinase inhibitor, dark-skinned individuals can minimize potential side effects and achieve optimal results from RF microneedling. At Tulua, we recommend SkinBetter's Even Tone Correcting Serum for not only pre-procedure but also daily use.

While RF microneedling can offer significant benefits for skin rejuvenation, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the procedure for all skin types requires careful consideration and personalized care.

I am a very low-maintenance person and am usually taking care of my kids’ needs before my own. But! I received a Hydrafacial at Tulua and it was AMAZING! My skin felt buttery soft afterward and had a natural, dewy glow. Since the facial, my skin looks plumper (I think that’s how you describe it 🤪). I will be getting another Hydrafacial in the near future. This is going to be one thing that I’m going to make into a routine for me!
