Learn More About Genius™ RF Microneedling

Combining microneedling and radiofrequency energy, RF microneedling is a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates your body’s natural healing process. Tiny needles cause micro-damage to your skin, which triggers a healing response and increases collagen production. At the same time, RF energy tightens your skin and boosts collagen levels even further.

Genius™ RF Microneedling is the most sophisticated radiofrequency microneedling device on the market. Intelligent RF Delivery is the genius behind the system, designed to use strategic amounts of radiofrequency energy at precise depths. This technology adapts to your unique skin, optimizing your treatment for a firmer, smoother complexion. 

Real-time monitoring is what sets Genius™ RF Microneedling apart from other microneedling systems. Sensors detect the condition of your skin at every depth, not only for each patient but for differing skin conditions occurring in the same treatment area. The needles are gold-plated titanium for unparalleled sharpness, smooth penetration, and precision RF delivery. This enhances collagen and elastin regeneration to improve skin texture, scarring, wrinkles, and laxity.

There may be some discomfort with Genius™ RF Microneedling, but every patient’s experience is different, and pain is minimized thanks to the needles’ sharpness and gold-tipping. At Capital Laser & Skin Care, your comfort is our top priority, so we offer a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort during the Genius™ RF Microneedling procedure. 

Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and once you’re ready, the microneedling handpiece is passed over your skin, delivering the RF energy to the exact depth required to stimulate your skin’s healing response and collagen production. The sophisticated system depicts in real-time exactly where your skin most needs the RF energy, so there are no areas under or over-treated with Genius™ RF Microneedling. 

The microneedling process takes approximately half an hour, depending on the size of your treatment area. Since the topical anesthetic will need to be applied in advance and given time to take effect, your entire appointment may take one to two hours.

Initially, your skin will appear red and irritated, but the redness will usually subside by the next morning. Within two to three days, your skin will appear normal, though it may feel slightly rough or scaley. This is the treated skin going into the collagen induction phase. 

In the following days, your skin will tighten, feel smoother and touchably soft, and appear more radiant and even. Tightening will continue to improve for several weeks as collagen production accumulates.

Genius™ RF Microneedling is game-changing for achieving glowing skin. It may take more than one session to achieve your desired results, and many patients have maintenance treatments every six months or so to keep their skin healthy and radiant. You can also pair microneedling with other popular anti-aging and rejuvenating treatments like injectables and laser skin resurfacing.

You can expect the following benefits with microneedling:

  • Reduced lines and wrinkles
  • Smoother complexion
  • Smaller pore size
  • Tighter, firmer skin
  • Reduced acne scarring
  • Less hyperpigmentation

Microneedling doesn’t require any downtime, but your skin will likely be slightly swollen and red for a couple of days after the treatment. You should use gentle skincare products and protect yourself from sun exposure, as your skin will be extra sensitive for about a week after your session.

Genius™ RF Microneedling is safe for all skin types. The needles pass through the layer of skin related to pigment, so the RF energy bypasses melanin to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation. While most patients seek microneedling treatment on the face or neck, collagen induction therapy can also be beneficial for:

  • Loose skin of the abdomen following pregnancy to target stretch marks or lax skin
  • Buttocks
  • Back of the arms
  • Thighs
  • The skin above the knees

Anyone concerned about the condition of their skin’s texture, the appearance of acne scarring, or the tightness of their skin is a good candidate. Schedule a consultation with one of our board-certified dermatologists to learn how Genius™ RF Microneedling can benefit you.
