What is Genius RF Microneedling?
Genius® RF Microneedling is an FDA approved, minimally invasive procedure that combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin without damaging surrounding tissue.
It’s safe for all skin types and requires minimal down-time.

What to Expect During Treatment
Treatments are customized according to your unique skin type. Your skin will be cleansed and a topical anesthetic applied for your comfort.
During the Genius® RF Microneedling treatment a hand-held device is passed two-three times over the targeted area, with the practitioner constantly monitoring your skin’s temperature to ensure patient safety.
Recovery Period After Treatment
After the treatment, the skin may feel tight and will look red for the rest of the day; somewhat similar to a sunburn. It’s recommended to use only gentle cleansers and moisturizers for 24 hours post-procedure.
Your skin will return to its regular color over the next 48 hours, although it may feel tight, rough, and can feel a bit itchy for a few days through the collagen induction phase.
Your skin will have a beautiful glow around day five and will continue to build collagen for several weeks after treatment and continue to progress over the next 4 to 6 months.
