This advanced treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, delivered through the advanced triFX™ device, to support collagen remodeling and structural renewal within the skin.

The Benefits of RF Microneedling

triFX™ RF Microneedling goes beyond surface-level rejuvenation. By delivering heat into the deep dermal layers, it promotes collagen remodeling and structural renewal, helping your skin regain its firmness and glow over time.

Benefits Include:

  • Skin tightening, which may lift the skin

  • Smoother, more refined texture

  • Improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

  • Firmer, more supportive look

  • Improved jawline and lower-face contour

  • Restored elasticity and youthful firmness

  • Gradual improvement in tone and natural radiance as collagen develops

The Wellow Approach

At The Wellow in Pittsburgh, RF Microneedling treatments are performed with precision and care, tailored to your skin’s individual needs. Our medical team uses the triFX™ device to deliver a multi-layer rejuvenation experience, addressing not only the surface but also the deeper layers that contribute to tone, texture, and firmness.

Facial Firming and Contour Renewal

triFX™  RF Microneedling delivers controlled radiofrequency energy through ultra-fine needles to remodel collagen. The result is a naturally lifted appearance and smoother skin texture, without the downtime of invasive procedures.

Fine Line and Wrinkle Smoothing

As collagen and elastin rebuild, fine lines soften and the skin regains its flexibility and bounce, revealing a complexion that feels both youthful and revitalized.

Lower-Face Definition and Lift

triFX™  RF Microneedling helps refine jawline contours and improve firmness around the cheeks and mouth, resulting in a subtly sculpted finish.

RF Microneedling Add-Ons

RF microneedling creates controlled microchannels in the skin that temporarily increase permeability, allowing selected topical agents to penetrate more effectively than when applied to intact skin. Immediately after treatment, the skin is in an active repair phase, making this an optimal time to apply specific formulations that support recovery, hydration, and overall treatment outcomes. Appropriate add-ons are selected based on your skin condition, goals, and treatment plan, and may be applied topically by your Wellow provider.

Derived from your own blood, PRP contains natural growth factors that support tissue repair. PRP infusion may help:

  • Improve hydration and skin quality

  • Support healing and recovery

  • Promote a more refreshed appearance

Face

Exosomes

Unlike PRP, which is created from your own blood, exosomes are laboratory derived biological products that are purified and do not contain living cells. Exosomes can be applied as cosmetic support to the treated areas, and may help:

  • Improve the appearance of skin tone and texture

  • Support recovery processes

  • Enhance visible radiance

  • Reduce post-treatment redness

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Growth Factors

Like exosomes, growth factors are produced from cultured cells and processed into purified medical formulations. Growth factors can be applied for aesthetic use to help:

  • Improve the appearance of skin texture and smoothness

  • Support firmer-looking skin

  • Enhance overall skin resilience

The Science Behind RF Microneedling

TriFX™  RF Microneedling combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy to support the skin’s natural repair processes. Fine needles create controlled microchannels in the skin, initiating a wound-healing response, while precisely delivered radiofrequency energy heats the deeper dermal layers to create controlled thermal stimulation that supports collagen remodeling. Together, these processes help improve skin structure, enhance the appearance of firmness, and refine overall texture. Over time, patients may notice smoother, more refined-looking skin as new collagen and elastin develop as part of the natural healing process.
