Microneedling is a popular and effective treatment for those seeking smoother, rejuvenated skin. If you want to see more noticeable results more quickly, though, you may want to give Genius RF microneedling a try.
The board-certified dermatologists at Bucay Center for Dermatology and Aesthetics – including Dr. Vivian Bucay, a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology – offer this innovative service to patients in and around San Antonio.
How does Genius RF microneedling differ from traditional microneedling? This guide breaks down the essential distinctions everyone should know.
Traditional Microneedling: How It Works and Its Benefits
Traditional microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing processes.
As the skin heals, it produces more collagen and elastin. Increased production of these proteins comes with many benefits:
- Improved skin texture
- Reduced appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles
- A more youthful glow
Traditional microneedling is highly effective. However, it does have its limitations.
Results may take longer to appear, for example. For more significant concerns like deep acne scars or loose skin, traditional microneedling also may not offer the level of improvement some patients desire.
Additionally, while the procedure is minimally invasive, there may be mild discomfort and some downtime.
Genius RF Microneedling: Advanced Technology for Better Results
Genius RF microneedling takes the benefits of traditional microneedling a step further by adding radiofrequency (RF) energy to the process. This heat energy penetrates deeper into the skin to stimulate even more collagen production. It also delivers better results for issues like skin laxity and deeper wrinkles.
Because of the addition of radiofrequency, Genius RF microneedling can provide skin tightening and more visible improvement for advanced signs of aging. Patients also tend to experience faster results with Genius RF compared to traditional microneedling, and the effects often last longer.
This treatment is more versatile as well. It is suitable for a wide range of skin concerns, from acne scars to sagging skin.
