The "Pyramid Facelift": Why Nurse Kim Recommends Combining RF and Microneedling for Total Skin Tightening

The "Pyramid Facelift": Why Nurse Kim Recommends Combining RF and Microneedling for Total Skin Tightening

If you’ve been noticing a softening jawline, fine lines around the eyes, or skin that just doesn't feel as firm as it once did, you aren't alone. Skin tightening is one of the most requested treatments at my clinic in St. John’s, and for good reason.

Modern technology has made it possible to achieve a lifted, "snatched," and youthful look without the downtime or risks of surgery. The "gold standard" for this at my practice is the Divine Pro system. It allows us to combine two powerhouses—TriPollar Radio Frequency (RF) and Microneedling—to treat the skin from the inside out.

The Science of the Lift: TriPollar RF

The foundation of our tightening treatment is TriPollar RF, a third-generation technology distributed by DermaSpark. Unlike older versions of radio frequency that could be uncomfortable, TriPollar is incredibly gentle—most clients say it feels like a relaxing, warm facial massage.

How it works: TriPollar delivers focused energy into the deep layers of your skin (the dermis). This heat causes existing collagen fibers to contract immediately, giving you a subtle lift right after your first session. More importantly, it triggers your body’s natural healing response to produce new collagen and elastin over the following weeks.

Clinical studies have shown just how powerful this is. Research published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy found that TriPollar treatments led to a 41% average reduction in wrinkles around the eyes, with 95% of patients seeing significant improvement (Harth & Lischinsky, 2011).

The Texture Specialist: VoluDerm RF Microneedling

While the RF tightens the "foundation" of your skin, we use VoluDerm RF Microneedling to refine the surface. This isn't your average microneedling; it uses ultra-thin needles that glide into the skin with RF energy, making it much more comfortable than traditional methods.

By creating microscopic channels, we stimulate the body to naturally produce hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin. This is the "secret sauce" for:

• Smoothing out acne scars and enlarged pores.

• Plumping up "crepey" skin.

• Fading fine lines and deep wrinkles.

Why Combine Them? (The Divine Pro Advantage)

Your skin has multiple layers, and a single-technology treatment often only reaches one. By using the Divine Pro platform to pair RF and Microneedling together, we provide what we call a 360-degree rejuvenation:

1. The Surface: TriFractional RF smooths out texture and pores.

2. The Middle: VoluDerm Microneedling volumizes and plumps.

3. The Deep Layer: TriPollar RF tightens the structural collagen to "snatch" the jawline and cheeks.

Real Results: What Can You Expect?

I always tell my clients that while everyone’s skin is unique, the results from the Divine Pro system are incredibly encouraging.

Before-and-after cases from the Divine Pro gallery show visible "non-surgical facelift" results after just 3 treatments, with a significantly more defined jawline and smoother eye area. Clients often see a reduction in periorbital (eye) wrinkles and a visible improvement in skin density within 3 months of their final session (Divine Pro by DermaSpark).

Is This Treatment Right for You?

One of the best things about the Divine Pro system is that it is safe for almost all skin types and requires minimal downtime. Most clients at my St. John’s clinic return to their daily routine within 24 hours, with only a slight redness similar to a mild sunburn.

Common goals we address include:

• A more "snatched" and defined jawline.

• Softening "Crow’s feet" and under-eye laxity.

• Improving "smoker’s lines" around the mouth.

• Reducing the appearance of pitted acne scars.
