Radiofrequency Microneedling FAQ

Does RF Microneedling hurt?

Majority of patients report little to no “pain” during the treatment, however, please always keep in mind everyone is unique in the way they experience sensations.

 

Can I wear makeup after?

Since patient downtime is minimal, makeup can be applied 1 to 3 days after the treatment. Patients should expect to see micro lesions a few days after treatment and slight redness for up to 1 week, if any, depending on treatment parameters & the patient’s own individual skin tolerance or sensitivity. It is strongly suggested to keep the area/s treated clean until the skin has had enough time to “heal”.

4-6 weeks is the recommended time frame between treatments for optimal results.

We recommend purchasing packages of a minimum of 3 for optimal results. Single session maintenance treatments are recommended approximately 1-2 times a year as soon as you feel the need for another session, should you even feel the need.

​

How Does Laser Genesis work?
By stimulating collagen regrowth Laser Genesis effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, tightens pores, reduces oil production, improves overall tone and texture on the skin, gets rid of sun damage and helps to diminish any redness on the skin such as rosacea. Laser Genesis works by gently heating the dermis, which is located below the skin’s surface. Patients often find the treatment very soothing, as there is zero discomfort involved.

What Are The Benefits?

Beyond a firmer, tighter and more even complexion, this procedure has been used to treat sunspots and lessen the size of pores. It’s also been very beneficial for addressing chronic conditions such as rosacea as well as helping to diminish the effects of acne scarring and discoloration.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number and frequency of treatments will depend upon your skin type, any problems that you may be experiencing and the desired results. Usually, clients have a series of 3-6 treatments spaced about a month apart before they start noticing the results. But when the results do take effect, you’ll notice a dramatically smoother skin surface, a glowing skin tone and a radiantly more youthful looking complexion overall. Each patient is different, so it is important to schedule a consultation to find out precisely what you will need and how many Laser Genesis treatments may be required.
