Microneedling vs MNRF: Which Treatment Is Right for You?
Microneedling vs MNRF: Which Treatment Is Right for You?
When it comes to professional skin rejuvenation, Microneedling and Microneedling Radiofrequency (MNRF) are two of the most effective treatments available. Both aim to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, but the technologies and results differ. At SHEFMON, we provide state-of-the-art beauty equipment that delivers professional results for clinics and aesthetic centers.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine needles to create micro-channels in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Best For:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Mild acne scars
Uneven skin texture
Enlarged pores
Advantages:
Minimal downtime
Safe for most skin types
Can be combined with serums or PRP for enhanced results
SHEFMON Solution:
While SHEFMON does not currently offer a standalone microneedling machine, clinics can integrate our A0270 HIFU Machine for complementary skin tightening treatments alongside microneedling to enhance results.
What is MNRF (Microneedling Radiofrequency)?
MNRF combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. The needles penetrate deeper into the dermis while delivering controlled RF energy, stimulating collagen remodeling and improving skin elasticity.
Best For:
Deep acne scars
Moderate to severe wrinkles
Skin laxity and sagging
Stretch marks
Advantages:
Deeper collagen stimulation
Significant skin tightening
Longer-lasting results
Minimal downtime
SHEFMON Solution:
For professional clinics, SHEFMON offers devices like the XC102 MNRF Microneedling Machine (price range: $1,800–$2,500) which delivers adjustable RF energy for customized treatments.

Which Treatment Should You Choose?
Microneedling is ideal for clients with mild skin concerns who want gradual improvement and minimal downtime.
MNRF is recommended for clients with deeper wrinkles, moderate to severe scarring, or sagging skin who are looking for more dramatic and longer-lasting results.
