Genius RF Microneedling

As noted, the Genius skin tightening procedure uses ultra-fine needles and is not particularly painful. Patients can have topical numbing or Pro-Nox (laughing gas) if desired and are fine to drive themselves home after the treatment.

Genius RF microneedling is safe for patients of all skin types and is proven to rejuvenate skin from the inside out. However, individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking Accutane, or have an active skin infection should not have radiofrequency microneedling.

This will depend on the size and location of the area being treated, but most procedures take between 20 and 50 minutes.

Genius RF microneedling side effects are mild. They include redness and mild inflammation that resolves quickly. After the treatment, there are no visible marks on the skin. The downtime is minimal, but patients can expect pink and slightly irritated skin in the area for the first day or two. Most patients are ready to resume their normal routine the day after the microneedling, but this varies.

Avoid cleansers and topical products on the treated area for 12 hours

• Avoid excessive sun exposure for 7 days
• Avoid retinoid products on the treated area for at least one week
• Avoid IPL phototherapy or laser skin resurfacing on the treated area for 2 weeks

It takes time for the body to produce new collagen and elastin, so the results are not immediate. Patients may see initial improvements in skin firmness and texture within the first few months but allow 6 months for maximum results.

The majority of patients will benefit from a series of three Genius RF microneedling treatments that are spaced one month apart.
