How does PiXel8-RF operate?
If you’re contemplating getting PiXel8-RF, then you should make sure that you understand how the technology works. This treatment utilizes bipolar energy, putting heat far down into the layers of the epidermis. The aim behind this is to boost and revamp collagen and bring on the regeneration of the vital elastin cells. All of this can pave the way for a complexion that’s a lot softer and more resilient. If you want the surface of your skin to be a lot smoother and firmer, then getting this treatment may be just right for you.
PiXel8-RF causes hemostasis and coagulation, which activates the manufacturing of collagen, to help make the skin firmer. The depth of the microneedles can be tweeked for all specific treatment parts. This can come in particularly handy for patients who need treatment below their eyes, on their cheeks, and on their foreheads.

PiXel8-RF FAQs
Is RF Microneedling painful?
PiXel8-RF micro-needling can be a little "spicy". Topical anesthetic provides comfort during a session.
Can it be used on all skin types?
Yes. Compared to other laser treatments, the PiXel8-RF utilizes only radiofrequency energy. The microneedles are designed to precisely deliver the pulse towards the dermis tissues. Visually, there is no thermal damage made to the epidermis, and almost removes completely any risks of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on dark skin types.
Is there downtime after the procedure?
Patients should expect minimal to almost no downtime and a few restrictions required after the following radio micro-needling treatment. The area treated may become red within 24 hours. However, a much more aggressive treatment, depending on the desired outcome, will increase downtime.
How many treatments will I need?
Obvious results are visually seen after just one treatment. However, it is suggested to go through a series of 3 treatments for optimal results. Each treatment is made within a span of 4 weeks apart.
Is PiXel8-RF considered safe?
Yes. Humans are exposed to low levels of man-made radio frequencies on a daily basis. Devices such as TV, WiFi, and phones are one of the many examples of frequencies people can be exposed to. Studies have shown possible known risks with RF are the potential burns made from thermal heating effects for people under the influence of high doses. However, the PiXel8-RF procedure uses a minimal amount of RF required from trained skincare specialists in order to ensure the best results possible on your behalf.
Pixel8 RF Vs. Morpheus8?
Since RF microneedling technology was introduced, a number of different devices have been marketed to patients seeking non-surgical skin rejuvenation. Each device has been touted as being ‘one of the best’ RF microneedling treatments out there. But so much of this is considered simply hype to help attract more attention from patients. The reality is that only a few, select devices – such as Pixel8 RF and Morpheus8 – should be considered if you are a patient seeking RF microneedling treatment.
One of the main reasons we firmly believe Pixel8 RF is a better choice than Morpheus8 for RF microneedling is based on its design. Technologically, the Pixel8 RF was created to deliver 4 megahertz of energy, which is twice as much as the Morpheus8 brand. This translates into much less discomfort for patients while undergoing treatment. Anecdotally, you will commonly hear patients openly admit they could not tolerate the Morpheus8 – leading them to abort any future treatments that were scheduled because of the discomfort and pain. Consequently, these patients will also not get the desired results. In comparison, the Pixel8 RF is much better tolerated and ‘treatment to completion’ is not an issue.
It is also worth noting that the Pixel8 RF was the recipient of the Cosmopolitan Magazine’s Holy Grail “Best Skin Smoothing Treatment” for 2022. This is quite a distinction for a device in a heavily crowded cosmetic treatment space.
