What is RF Microneedling?

Radio Frequency Microneedling is an innovative cosmetic treatment that combines the traditional microneedling process with radiofrequency energy to rejuvenate and repair the skin. This procedure involves using fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response and promoting collagen and elastin production. The addition of radiofrequency energy intensifies the treatment, allowing for heat to be delivered deep into the dermis. This boosts the skin’s remodeling process, leading to a tighter, more youthful appearance. RF Microneedling is particularly effective for addressing concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and overall skin texture, a popular choice for individuals looking to achieve smoother, firmer skin without the downtime associated with more invasive procedures.

Why Choose RF Microneedling?

RF Microneedling delivers a secure, comfortable, and efficient method for revitalizing the skin. It fosters a rejuvenated, youthful appearance, elevates skin tone, diminishes the appearance of pores, and improves the skin’s overall texture. This technique boosts collagen production. Furthermore, microneedling has the added benefit of augmenting the penetration of topical skincare treatments into the skin. In essence, microneedling is a non-surgical, minimally invasive approach to obtaining smoother, younger-looking skin with little to no recovery time.

What Makes Genius® RF Microneedling Different from Similar Procedures?

What makes Genius® RF Microneedling different is its advanced smart technology, which meticulously analyzes the skin during the procedure. It automatically adjusts the depth of needle penetration to accommodate varying skin textures and address nuanced aesthetic needs, ensuring tailored and effective treatment.

How It Works

Step 1: Consultation

You will meet with one of our highly skilled aestheticians to discuss the benefits of Genius Radio Frequency Microneedling and get your questions answered.

This initial consultation ensures we tailor the treatment to your unique skin needs, aiming for the best possible outcomes tailored to your cosmetic goals.

Step 2: Treatment Planning

You will get a treatment plan created just for you. A typical plan will include at least three initial treatments spaced about four to six weeks apart.

This personalized approach ensures that each session targets your specific concerns, maximizing the effectiveness of the treatment. With progressively spaced appointments, your skin has ample time to respond and rejuvenate, leading to visible, long-lasting results.

Step 3: Treatment

The Genius Radio Frequency Microneedling appointment is anywhere from 30 minutes or longer.  A topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment on the skin for 1 hour.  Following the treatment, your skin will look a little red and there may be minimal bruising. The skin may be dry 1-2 days after treatment and sloughs off in 3-5 days.

Patients typically notice a significant improvement in their skin’s texture and tone. The full benefits of Genius® RF Microneedling, including firmer, smoother, and more youthful looking skin, become increasingly apparent over the next few weeks as collagen production is stimulated, revealing a rejuvenated complexion.

Step 4: Follow up 

Your aesthetician will schedule a follow-up appointment to evaluate your progress and/or perform another treatment.

This critical step ensures that your skincare goals are met with personalized care and adjustments as needed, optimizing your path to radiant, healthy skin.

What To Expect Before RF Microneedling

Before your microneedling session, you’ll have a consultation with one of our expert aestheticians who will explore your treatment objectives and answer any questions. A customized treatment strategy will be designed just for you.

To reduce the potential for bleeding or bruising, stay out of the sun, and products containing retinol or exfoliants for several days, and avoid specific supplements, alcohol, and aspirin.

What To Expect During RF Microneedling

Your practitioner will tailor the microneedle configurations and energy levels to meet your treatment objectives.

In an RF Microneedling session, the specialist uses a device equipped with fine needles, systematically gliding it over your skin. This action creates minute punctures on the skin’s surface. These microneedles are designed to penetrate the deeper layers of your skin, targeting areas where collagen and elastin take place. Simultaneously, radiofrequency energy heats the skin from within, encouraging collagen and elastin production.

What To Expect After RF Microneedling

Warmth, redness, swelling, minor pin-point bleeding, and a small degree of discomfort after your treatment are typical. It’s also not uncommon to notice some slight bruising. Should you encounter any general discomfort following your treatment, taking an over-the-counter pain medication like Tylenol is advisable. Each treatment is tailored to ensure smoother, firmer outcomes, enhancing safety and efficacy.
