How Does RF Microneedling Work?

Microneedling on its own works by stimulating the body’s healing response to improve skin and jumpstart collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production. Add radiofrequency to the mix, and you’ve got RF microneedling, a powerful treatment that can significantly reduce the signs of aging, tighten skin, minimize wrinkles and acne scars, and give you an overall youthful glow.

Having Genus RF microneedling at ZENA Medical by our licensed dermatologist you can be treated deeper into the dermis. This is because licensed aestheticians are only allowed at shallow depths for treatments. 

This is important because the deeper the treatment, the better the results. Genius RF’s precision tip uses tiny, incredibly sharp needles to create controlled micro injuries into the dermal layer at a depth Dr. Zena can control down to the millimeter. Once there, the RF energy is delivered, bypassing the top layers of skin to heat the tissues and stimulate collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production.

This treatment, which can be performed nearly anywhere on the body, can improve:

• Skin laxity
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne or post-traumatic scarring
• Hyperhidrosis
• Enlarged pores
• Crepey skin
• Overall skin texture and tone

Am I a Good Candidate for RF Microneedling?

Ideal candidates for RF microneedling are men and women who have concerns about the signs of aging advancing in their skin. Because RF microneedling doesn’t deliver the radiofrequency energy until the needles are at the correct depth, pigmentation cells are not affected by the treatment. This means patients with darker skin tones can safely and effectively undergo RF microneedling without pigmentation worries.
