How RF Microneedling Helps with Skin Laxity | Skin Tightening Treatments at Medspa Novi

1. Introduction: Skin Loosening Doesn’t Have to Stick

If you’re noticing mild sagging around your jowls, jawline, or under-eye area—or feeling frustrated by fine lines and loose texture—you’re not alone. Skin laxity is a natural part of aging, accelerated by sun damage, environmental stressors, and the decline of collagen.

Fortunately, at Defy Aesthetic Boutique in Novi, we offer a cutting-edge fix: RF microneedling with the Rohrer Pixel 8 system. Designed for firming, resurfacing, and refining—without surgery—this is your opportunity for real skin transformation.

2. What Is Skin Laxity—and Why It Happens

As we age, collagen and elastin fibers begin to degrade, leading to:

  • Drooping jowls
  • Crepey under-eye skin
  • Loss of jawline definition

3. Meet RF Microneedling: Double-Action Collagen Stimulation

RF microneedling combines two powerful modalities:

  • Microneedling: Creates tiny controlled micro-injuries to trigger collagen and elastin remodeling.
  • Radiofrequency (RF) energy: Delivers heat into deeper dermal layers, boosting collagen synthesis and tightening.

According to Real Simple and Allure, this combo delivers both resurfacing and lifting effects—improving fine lines, pores, and texture while tightening mildly sagging skin.

4. Why We Chose Rohrer Pixel 8-RF—and Why It’s Superior to Morpheus8

At Defy Aesthetic Boutique, we’re committed to offering the most advanced, effective, and comfortable treatments available. That’s why we use the Pixel 8-RF by Rohrer Aesthetics—a next-generation RF microneedling system that consistently outperforms other devices like Morpheus8 in both results and experience.

  • Uniform collagen stimulation: Pixel 8-RF uses non-insulated microneedles, delivering heat throughout the entire dermis for better tightening.
  • Inclusive for all skin tones: Its delayed RF pulse delivery is safe for deeper skin tones, unlike Morpheus8.
  • Faster, more comfortable treatments: Pixel 8-RF features a quicker pulse rate and built-in cooling for a more pleasant experience.

In short, Pixel 8-RF gives us greater control, better outcomes, and a more comfortable experience, making it our technology of choice for non-surgical skin tightening and rejuvenation at our Novi Medspa.

5. Who Is a Good Candidate?

Ideal clients are those with:

  • Mild to moderate jowls or the beginnings of jawline sagging
  • Crepey under-eye skin or early fine lines
  • Texture irregularities and large pores
  • Acne scars or uneven skin texture
  • A desire for firmer skin—without fillers or surgery

Most clients in their 30s–60s benefit beautifully from RF microneedling.

6. How RF Microneedling Enhances Results with Medical-Grade Skincare

While RF microneedling creates dramatic change on its own, your skincare routine plays a vital role in maximizing results and ensuring safety.

At Defy, we require all clients to use medical-grade skincare before and after treatments. Why? Energy-based procedures introduce heat into the skin, which can increase pigmentation risk—especially without proper skin prep.

We recommend:

  • Marini Skin Research’s Skin Care Management System™ – Improves tone, luminosity, elasticity, and texture.
  • Neocutis growth factor–rich serums – Support collagen and speed barrier repair.
  • Daily retinol and peptides – Stimulate collagen and hydration while maintaining results.

💡 Pro Tip: Defy’s treatment packages include the skincare you need for safe healing and the most beautiful outcome.
