What Is RF Microneedling?

Microneedling procedures use ultrafine needles to cause microscopic injuries in the skin. This stimulates a healing response within the skin’s tissues, which can resolve a wide variety of imperfections. RF microneedling procedures incorporate radiofrequency (RF) energy, also known as Fractional radiofrequency. This energy generates heat that is directly transferred to the skin’s deeper layers through the tiny openings created by the microneedles, serving as delivery pathways. This dual action triggers the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, rendering it more youthful in appearance.


RF Microneedling Benefits

If you’re seeking a non-surgical solution to rejuvenate your skin and address a variety of concerns, RF microneedling may be the perfect option for you.

RF microneedling can effectively address:

How Does Genius RF Microneedling Work?

Genius RF microneedling takes traditional microneedling to the next level, delivering exceptional results with enhanced precision and customization. But how does it actually work?

Here’s the breakdown:

  1. Microneedles Create Pathways: Fine needles create tiny micro-channels in your skin. This process stimulates your skin’s natural healing response, triggering collagen and elastin production.
  2. Radiofrequency Energy Delivered with Precision: Simultaneously, radiofrequency (RF) energy is delivered through these micro-channels to the deeper layers of your skin. This precise delivery of RF energy heats the underlying tissue, further boosting collagen and elastin production.
  3. Intelligent RF Delivery for Customized Treatment: What truly sets Genius RF microneedling apart is its intelligent RF delivery system. This advanced technology allows the device to adjust the energy output in real-time, based on your unique skin characteristics.

Why Is This Important?

  • Skin type and thickness vary: Everyone’s skin is different. Genius RF adapts to these variations, ensuring optimal energy delivery for your specific needs.
  • Age and tissue density matter: As we age, our skin’s density and resistance change. Genius RF takes this into account, providing a customized treatment that’s safe and effective for all ages.
  • Consistent results across different areas: Whether treating delicate areas like the face or thicker skin on the body, Genius RF ensures consistent energy delivery for optimal results.

The result?

Genius RF microneedling delivers a truly personalized treatment that maximizes results while minimizing discomfort. You’ll enjoy smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin with improvements in fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and other scars, skin texture and tone, and skin laxity.


Most Popular Areas To Get It

Genius RF Microneedling goes much deeper into the skin, allowing it to tighten the skin more than other technologies. This full-body treatment can dissolve unwanted fat, lift the face, address crepey skin on the stomach, and reduce scars. It can be used on face, neck, décolleté, loose arm skin (arms and underarms), front and back of legs (thighs & knees), and stomach.


How Many RF Microneedling Treatments Do I Need?

A series of 3 treatments is suggested for best results. However, you do not need frequent Genius RF sessions to show major results. Initially, you will need two to three sessions to see your desired outcome. From there, you can have maintenance sessions once per year, depending on the concern that is being treated. 


How Genius Boosts Skin Volume

Aging or scarring often leads to a reduction in tissue volume, making wrinkles or skin imperfections more noticeable. Genius works by encouraging the production of collagen and initiating new collagen formation. This results in skin that not only appears smoother but also healthier.

How to Prepare

One of the best things about Genius RF is that there is little preparation required. Before your appointment, wash your face with a mild cleanser. Do not apply any makeup, lotion, or other topical products.

You should avoid applying irritating skin care products, including exfoliating products and retinoids, for at least four days before your session. You should also avoid sun exposure in the weeks leading up to your appointment.


Genius RF Microneedling FAQs

You can anticipate the effects to last two to three years. Follow-up annual maintenance sessions will help you keep a high rate of new collagen production.

A Genius RF microneedling session typically takes around 2 hours; the first hour is spent numbing, and then 30 to 60 minutes for the actual treatment time, depending on the body area being treated. 

There’s no completely painless or discomfort-free method that effectively stimulates the body to produce new collagen. However, we apply a topical anesthetic that is quite effective. Additionally, we employ sophisticated numbing techniques to enhance your comfort during the procedure. These include the use of lidocaine for nerve blocking and/or Pro-Nox™.
