Genius Radiofrequency Microneedling in Chevy Chase
Genius Radiofrequency Microneedling system is designed to provide customized treatment. It is a great way to tighten and firm skin, address wrinkles, and improve acne scars. Genius is uniquely customizable due to its intelligent RF delivery. This feature fine tunes the customization in real time, ensuring that you will never be over or under treated.
What Genius RF Microneedling Does
Essentially, these treatments stimulate new collagen and elastin production. In turn, this improves wrinkles, skin texture, and scars. Additionally, it tightens skin in the face, neck, chest, and other areas of the body.
How It Works
Genius works by delivering radiofrequency energy through gold plated needles. This stimulates your body’s collagen and elastin production. Additionally, by providing real time feedback, the energy is delivered precisely for each patient, each treatment, and each pass with the microneedles.
During the microneedling, the needles create micro wound. These needles penetrate the skin at three different levels, while RF energy simultaneously heats the tissue to a level that boosts collagen production.
Does Genius Hurt? 
Before your treatment begins, the provider applies a topical numbing cream which works very well. Additionally, the provider may use a cold skin roller or cold air to take away the heat sensation.
What to Expect After Genius RF Microneedling
After treatment, you will experience mild redness and swelling for a few days. You may look like you have a sunburn. Some patients may experience pinpoint bleeding, mild bruising and temporary marks from the needles.
Your skin will be sensitive after treatment, so you avoid aggressive cleansing and sun exposure for 14 days.
Results
Since the process of building collagen takes time, you won’t see results immediately. Most patients see improvements within one month, but full results can take up to six months after your last treatment. While this does take longer, the results also last longer. Typically, you can expect results to last two to three years.
