But what makes Genius™ different from traditional microneedling treatments? It blends the science of radiofrequency with precision microneedling to deliver results that go beyond the surface.
Let’s take a closer look at what Genius™ Microneedling can do and how it might just be the answer to achieving the fresh, rejuvenated skin you’ve been searching for. Continue reading to discover the key insights you need to know about this innovative skin treatment.
What is Genius™ Microneedling?
Genius™ Microneedling is a cutting-edge skin treatment that combines microneedling technology with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.
Unlike traditional microneedling, which uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries, Genius™ Microneedling takes it up a notch by delivering RF energy deep within the skin layers. This dual-action approach enhances the skin’s natural healing processes while tightening and firming the underlying structure.
As a minimally invasive procedure, Genius™ Microneedling offers an effective, non-surgical solution to multiple skin concerns, from wrinkles to acne scars. The added benefit of radiofrequency means this procedure can achieve longer-lasting, more pronounced results by addressing deeper layers of skin for overall rejuvenation and radiance.
Target Areas and Concerns
Genius™ Microneedling is highly versatile and customizable, designed to treat a variety of skin conditions. Here are some of the primary target areas and skin concerns it addresses:
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, Genius™ Microneedling effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
- Acne Scars and Textural Irregularities. This treatment is excellent for minimizing the look of acne scars and textural irregularities. The fractional microneedling component allows the Genius™ device to break up scar tissue, encouraging smoother, more uniform skin.
- Sagging Skin and Loss of Elasticity. The added radiofrequency energy in Genius™ Microneedling helps tighten skin by penetrating deeper layers. This makes it especially beneficial for areas with mild to moderate sagging or a loss of firmness.
- Sun Damage and Hyperpigmentation. The treatment can help reduce signs of sun damage, including age spots and uneven pigmentation, leaving skin looking more evenly toned and vibrant.
- Neck and Décolletage Rejuvenation. Genius™ Microneedling isn’t limited to facial treatments. It can be used to rejuvenate the neck and décolletage areas, addressing lines, wrinkles, and sagging that often appear due to aging and sun exposure.
With its adjustable settings, Genius™ Microneedling can be tailored to fit individual skin types and concerns, allowing for a truly personalized approach to skin rejuvenation.
Benefits of Genius™ Microneedling
Why has Genius™ Microneedling gained so much popularity in the world of aesthetics? The benefits extend beyond traditional microneedling, thanks to its innovative RF component and flexible design.
Here’s a breakdown of the unique advantages it offers:
1. Enhanced Collagen Induction Therapy
Collagen induction therapy lies at the heart of what makes Genius™ Microneedling so effective. The combination of microneedling and radiofrequency reaches deeper skin layers, stimulating more robust collagen production. This results in firmer, plumper, and younger-looking skin that continues to improve over time.
2. Customizable for Different Skin Types
Genius™ Microneedling stands out because it’s adjustable for various skin types and concerns. Its technology allows providers to customize the depth of needle penetration and RF energy, making it suitable for both delicate and more resilient skin. This adaptability means more tailored results that align with each patient’s unique skincare needs.
3. Minimally Invasive with Minimal Downtime
While delivering results that can rival more invasive procedures, Genius™ Microneedling remains minimally invasive. The procedure involves minimal discomfort, and because it doesn’t disrupt the skin’s surface layer significantly, the downtime is generally low. Patients typically experience redness for a day or two, with most resuming normal activities shortly afterward.
4. Improved Skin Texture and Tone
The precision of Genius™ Microneedling allows it to address a variety of textural concerns. From acne scars to rough patches, this treatment works on a microscopic level to smooth out the skin’s surface and even out tone. The addition of radiofrequency energy amplifies these effects, creating a more consistent and radiant skin appearance.
5. Long-Lasting Results
Thanks to the deep collagen stimulation initiated by RF microneedling, Genius™ Microneedling offers results that continue to improve over time. Many patients notice their skin looking healthier and more youthful for months following treatment. Regular maintenance sessions can help prolong these results, offering a lasting impact on skin health and appearance.
What to Expect Before and After Genius™ Microneedling
Preparing for Your Treatment
Before undergoing Genius™ Microneedling, there are a few preparation steps to keep in mind to ensure the best results and minimal recovery:
- Avoid Sun Exposure. Protect your skin from sun exposure at least a week before your appointment. Tanned or sunburned skin is more prone to adverse reactions, so staying shaded or using sunscreen is essential.
- Skip Retinoids and Exfoliants. Avoid using retinoids, AHAs, and other exfoliants for a few days leading up to your treatment. These products can make your skin more sensitive, increasing the risk of irritation.
- Consult on Medications. Some medications, like blood thinners, may increase the likelihood of bruising. Consult with your provider to see if you should pause any medications or supplements prior to treatment.
During the Procedure
On the day of your Genius™ Microneedling session, expect the following steps:
- Skin Cleansing. Our provider will cleanse the treatment area thoroughly to remove any impurities.
- Application of Numbing Cream. To enhance comfort, a numbing cream is often applied to the skin and left to settle for about 15 to 30 minutes.
- Microneedling with RF Energy. The Genius™ device is then moved across the skin, with tiny needles creating microchannels while RF energy penetrates the deeper layers. This process generally takes between 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
- Soothing Post-Treatment Serum. Once the session is complete, your provider may apply a serum or cooling mask to soothe the skin and promote healing.
Aftercare and Recovery
After your Genius™ Microneedling treatment, proper aftercare is crucial to maximize results and reduce downtime:
- Stay Hydrated. Drink plenty of water to support your skin’s healing process.
- Avoid Sun Exposure. Your skin will be more sensitive post-treatment, so diligent sunscreen application (SPF 30 or higher) and sun avoidance are essential.
- Skip Makeup for 24 Hours. Allow your skin to breathe by avoiding makeup, especially foundation, for at least a day.
- Use Gentle Products. Stick to gentle, hydrating skincare products. Avoid retinoids, AHAs, and any exfoliants for at least a week to prevent irritation.
- Expect Minor Redness. A bit of redness, similar to a mild sunburn, is normal and should subside within a day or two.
