With aging comes wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and sagging skin, leading patients to seek solutions to refresh and rejuvenate their skin. Loss of elastin and collagen are primary causes of skin laxity, which can diminish the tight, firm appearance your skin once had. Genius® RF in Orange County is a non-invasive procedure that can help tighten skin and give you a more youthful glow.
It is a skin tightening procedure that harnesses the power of microneedling and controlled radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production and softer, smoother, healthier skin. Genius RF is administered using a handheld applicator that is gently passed over the skin, quickly releasing microneedles and specific radiofrequency energy. Genius results in the regeneration of both collagen and elastin.
If you have heard of Genius RF microneedling, there is a chance that you may have heard of Morpheus8. These are both skin tightening procedures that utilize microneedling and radiofrequency, however, there are a few key differences between the two.
At Natural Image OC, we choose to provide Genius RF for a number of reasons. Genius RF has 49 needles, while Morpheus has about half that amount, with just 24 needles. Genius RF is very unique because it has a smart tip that measures and adjusts to provide the best results and maximum comfort, as well as is the only system that measures delivered energy. There can also be slightly less downtime because of the finer, more flexible quality of the needles.
We love the results that our patients receive with Genius RF and we are sure you will, too. It can also be combined with lasers, such as the Fraxel 1550 and 1927 to provide even more natural and youthful looking results.
Numbing cream is applied for improved comfort, and then a series of tiny needles quickly puncture the skin creating micro-tears. Although this sounds painful, the needles are incredibly thin and precisely controlled, so you hardly feel anything. The body responds to the micro-tears by signaling a healing response and triggering healthy tissue growth.
As the needles penetrate the skin, they emit radiofrequency energy that encourages collagen and elastin production and smooths existing collagen for more uniform coverage. Dr. Sikorski can adjust how deep the needles go to reach the ideal layers of skin, which promotes healing and allows customization for each patient’s needs and skin concerns.
Genius RF in Laguna Niguel is safe for all skin types and skin tones, making it an excellent option for many patients. The treatment can be done on the face and on the neck, chest, abdomen, and thighs. It is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have an active skin infection.
If you are in good overall health, but your skin is showing signs of aging and beginning to sag, Genius RF may help give you a firmer skin contour and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
You may benefit from Genius RF if you have skin imperfections such as:
Your skin may be slightly pink and sensitive for a day or two after treatment, but it will fade on its own. Also, there is little downtime, and most of the healing occurs from the inside out. You should refrain from wearing makeup for the first 24 hours.
You may notice some changes in your skin over the next few days as it heals from the microneedling and tissue repair takes place, but it can take a couple of weeks for new collagen to form and visibly tighten skin. It may take more than one treatment to achieve your desired results, with each session about a month apart.
Genius RF can correct skin laxity and other imperfections for a firmer, more evenly toned skin with fewer wrinkles. This treatment can help boost your self-esteem and rejuvenate your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production with the power of microneedling and radiofrequency energy.
