Genius™ Microneedling

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles and radiofrequency to rejuvenate the skin. Controlled injury stimulates the growth of healthy new skin which can result in increased natural collagen production and recues the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and acne scars. Meanwhile, RF energy gently heats the outer layers of skin which also results in collagen production and tighter skin.

What is Genius™ Microneedling?

It’s semi-insulated needles deliver precision energy to targeted layers of the skin based on your skins needs and your treatment goals.

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles and radiofrequency to rejuvenate the skin. Controlled injury stimulates the growth of healthy new skin at multiple layers. This process stimulates increased natural collagen, elastin, and fibroblast production which rejuvenates the skin and improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and acne scars. Meanwhile, RF energy gently heats the outer layers of skin which also results in collagen production and tighter skin.

We make this procedure as comfortable as possible

Please allow extra time for each session as we will apply a strong topical anesthetic (a numbing cream) to the area being treated for about one hour prior to beginning. Additionally, we have a Zimmer professional cooling device that is a game changer for MNRF comfort! It immediately cools the top of the skin for added comfort but also keeps the heat in the targeted deeper layers where it is most effective. Want to make the most of your visit? While waiting for your anesthetic cream to take effect, enjoy our “Turn Back Time” Beauty IV with powerful Biotin, Vitamin C, and other antioxidants that strengthen hair, nail, and skin health and production—50% Off with a microneedling session. Added hydration further supports skin rejuvenation and maximizes effectiveness of your microneedling session.

Microneedling creates microscopic openings in the surface of the skin. It causes the tissue to develop new collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, firmer skin. The treatment is completely non-surgical and requires little downtime.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a rejuvenating skin treatment that addresses:

Wrinkles and fine lines
Hyperpigmentation
Sun damage
Mild inelasticity
Acne scars
Large pores
Rough skin
Dull skin

You may hear microneedling referred to as percutaneous collagen induction, because the treatment increases collagen in your skin. Collagen is the supportive scaffolding of youthful, smooth skin. It naturally declines with age. By inducing the creation of collagen (as well as elastin), microneedling leads to smoother, plumper, firmer skin.

The Microneedling Process

Modern treatments use an automated pen-like device. It’s handheld. The head of the device contains a circular arrangement of tiny needles. The device is set to penetrate the skin at a certain depth, making the treatment highly customizable.

As the provider passes the head of rotating needles across the skin, the needles make tiny openings in the epidermis. These minuscule punctures prompt a healing response in the skin without damaging tissue.

Opening the skin’s pores for nourishing topicals: Another benefit of microneedling is that the skin is essentially opened up via the tiny channels made, and can thereby better absorb any variety of rejuvenating topical ointments, creams and other skin products chosen by you and the provider.

How Long Does it Take to Heal from Microneedling?

Microneedling is minimally invasive, but your face will be flushed and red for about 24-72 hours after the appointment. During this time, don’t apply facial cosmetics. We know it is tempting to conceal the redness, but microneedling opens up the pores of your face, so the last thing you want to do is clog all those channels into the epidermis with makeup. For 24-48 hours, it is normal to experience peeling, dryness, swelling and bumps. Follow our directions for which moisturizers and cleansers to use during this time. Your skin will start looking radiant and fresh after a few days, and results will continue to improve over the next couple of months as new collagen and elastin forms.
