If you struggle with aging, uneven, or sun-damaged skin, you have a range of options to improve it. People choose RF microneedling for many different reasons, ranging from its dramatic anti-aging results to its lack of downtime. This procedure triggers your skin’s collagen production and renews surface layers for a smoother, clearer surface.
What is RF Microneedling?
Traditional microneedling works by using tiny needles to create microchannels in the skin. These tiny areas of controlled damage will stimulate cells deep in your dermis to begin producing more collagen. RF microneedling adds radiofrequency (RF) energy to boost your results. The needles send pulses of energy into the dermis, prompting even more collagen production and healing responses.
Top 5 Benefits of RF Microneedling
If you are seeking improvements in your skin’s texture, clarity, or pigmentation, RF microneedling with the Genius™ RF microneedling system offers numerous benefits that leave your skin looking rejuvenated and glowing.
Anti-Aging Results
Because aging causes a loss of collagen, RF microneedling is an excellent anti-aging tool. It stimulates so much collagen production that it tightens skin laxity, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and even removes other textural issues such as acne scars.
Fades Hyperpigmentation
RF microneedling triggers a healing process that brings fresh, healthy cells to the surface. These new cells replace old, sun-damaged, and hyperpigmented ones, leading to a more even-toned surface. This ability makes RF microneedling ideal for treating the combination of acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation for people who have struggled with inflamed acne.
Little to No Downtime
The Genius™ RF microneedling system requires little to no downtime after treatment. You can return to your usual activities immediately, but you may experience redness and sensitivity lasting a few days. Your skin will be extremely sun-sensitive, so avoid exposure and wear sun protection at all times for two weeks after treatment.
Safe for All Skin Tones
Many laser treatments are not safe for use on dark skin tones. RF microneedling does not use laser energy, so it will not have the same risks for darker skin that laser treatments would. As a result, this treatment is safe and effective for more people.
Absorb More Products
The microchannels treated by microneedling allow beneficial products to enter the deeper layers of the skin for maximum results. We can recommend ideal products for your skin needs. On the other hand, avoid applying any irritating or fragranced products to the area for a few days.
How Many RF Microneedling Treatments Will I Need?
The number of Genius™ RF treatments depends on the type and severity of skin issues being treated. Most people benefit from three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. However, some people may need an additional session or two. Microneedling results typically last about a year, and many people maintain their results with yearly sessions.
