What is Radio Frequency Microneedling?

Radio Frequency Microneedling with the Lutronic Genius system is where science meets skin transformation. Picture thousands of tiny, golden needles creating microscopic pathways on your skin’s surface—each one delivering a precise pulse of heat energy deep below. That warmth reawakens dormant collagen and elastin like a spark reigniting an old flame, triggering your body’s natural healing process to rebuild and tighten the skin from within.

It’s like renovating the foundation of a home rather than just painting the walls—addressing laxity, texture, scars, and fine lines where they actually begin. As your skin heals, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant over time—like your complexion just remembered how to be young again.

What does RF treat?

Radio Frequency Microneedling targets a wide range of skin concerns by rebuilding the skin’s structure from within. It’s highly effective for improving:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Skin laxity (loose or sagging skin)
Acne scars and surgical scars
Uneven texture and large pores
Stretch marks
Sun damage and crepey skin
Overall tone and firmness on the face, neck, and body

Unlike traditional microneedling, RF microneedling delivers heat energy deep into the dermis through the needles. This not only creates microchannels for skin healing but also stimulates collagen and elastin production for firmer, tighter skin. Think of it as microneedling with a turbocharged boost.
RF microneedling penetrates deep while sparing the surface layers of the skin, which reduces downtime compared to aggressive laser resurfacing while still providing impressive collagen remodeling and tightening.
The treatment can feel intense, especially in sensitive areas, but a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort. Most clients describe it as a warm prickly sensation or pressure. Some areas, like under the eyes or jawline, may feel more sensitive.
- Redness and mild swelling (similar to a sunburn)
- Possible pinpoint bleeding or bruising in treated areas
- Warmth and tightness in the skin
  These usually subside within 24–48 hours, though some redness may last 2–3 days depending on intensity.
Yes, RF microneedling is more intense than standard microneedling:
- Avoid makeup for 24 hours if possible
- Avoid direct sun exposure, saunas, and intense workouts for 48 hours
- Your skin may flake or peel slightly as it heals
Plan for about 2 hours total. The first hour is dedicated to numbing to ensure your comfort, followed by roughly an hour of treatment time. Duration can vary slightly depending on the area treated and the intensity of your session.
Some clients notice a subtle glow within a few days, but optimal results appear gradually over 3–6 months as new collagen forms. Skin will continue improving over time.
Most clients see best results after 3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions once or twice a year help prolong results.
- Face (cheeks, jawline, under eyes, forehead)
- Neck and décolletage
- Abdomen, arms, thighs, and other body areas where skin laxity or scarring is a concern
- Those with mild to moderate skin laxity
- Acne or surgical scars
- Uneven texture or large pores
- Fine lines and wrinkles
  RF microneedling is safe for most skin types, including darker tones, since it targets deeper layers without affecting the surface pigment.
Temporary side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, or mild pinpoint bleeding. Rarely, small scabs or hyperpigmentation may occur, especially if aftercare isn’t followed
- Avoid retinol, acids, or harsh exfoliants for 3–5 days prior
- Avoid sunburn or tanning
- Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup or skincare products
- Keep skin hydrated and protected
- Avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum SPF daily
- Avoid scrubs, exfoliants, and aggressive skincare for at least a week
- Do not pick at scabs or peeling areas
