Treatment Overview
MediGlow RF is a Korean microneedling RF treatment designed to deliver deep skin rejuvenation, firmness, and glow restoration. By combining radiofrequency energy with microneedling precision, MediGlow RF penetrates the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin production, resulting in tighter, smoother, and more radiant skin.
Using advanced systems like Potenza and Secret RF, this treatment targets multiple concerns including wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and skin laxity. In Korea, MediGlow RF is particularly popular for its ability to restore a youthful glow while repairing structural skin damage with minimal downtime.
