When the natural flexibility and tautness of the skin are lost, wrinkles form and the face starts to sag. The natural contours that define your face lose shape, giving you a less youthful appearance.

What is RF Microneedling?
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that rejuvenates the skin. The Genius RF device remodels tissue by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
RF microneedling is a less invasive alternative to a facelift and other cosmetic surgeries. Sometimes called a nonsurgical facial or the Laser Genesis facial, RF microneedling can also be used for young clients who are looking to rejuvenate their skin and reduce redness.
The Genius RF device can be used to treat many areas but the most popular areas are the face, neck, abdomen, arms, knees, and thighs.
Benefits of RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency energy is a widely researched tool that is used in cosmetic treatments. It works deep within the layers of the skin, heating it to the temperature required to naturally stimulate the production of new collagen.
RF energy causes coagulation, regenerating collagen and elastin fibers. Collagen and elastin are proteins that make skin full and stretchy. The RF device creates microtears in the skin tissue which forces your body to increase collagen and elastin production. The procedure kick-starts your body’s natural repair process.
Each of the microneedles in the Genius RF microneedling device has an adjustable depth and ranges from 0.5 mm to 3.5 mm. Research has found that this range is the most effective to treat areas to stimulate collagen.
The versatility of the RF device allows for extreme precision. These advancements allow the Lutronic Genius to achieve unparalleled skin tightening and improvement in skin laxity compared to other RF devices.
RF microneedling benefits include tighter skin, fewer wrinkles, and younger-looking skin.
Because it stimulates your body’s healing systems, it can also be used to treat scars, pore size, and stretch marks. Overall, radiofrequency microneedling is a natural, non-surgical solution to aging skin.

Before, During & After
What to Expect
The first step is your free consultation.
Before you decide to try RF microneedling, call Stadia Med Spa for a free consultation to determine whether or not microneedling is the right treatment for you. Typical candidates might have sun damage, acne scars, lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, sagging skin, redness, or many other signs of aging.
Read more about the RF microneedling procedure including how to prepare, what to expect, and tips for a healthy recovery.
Before Treatment
If you have an active infection or acne flare-up in the treatment area, you will need to reschedule your appointment. Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning the week leading up to your appointment. Drink lots of water to hydrate your skin and arrive with a bare face (devoid of makeup or moisturizer).
Tell your Stadia Med Spa practitioner about any prescriptions, herbal supplements, and medications that may interfere with your treatment. You may need to stop any anti-inflammatory medications before and after RF microneedling as they may interfere with your healing and results.
During Treatment
Patients often describe RF microneedling treatment as relaxing and therapeutic. You will experience a gentle warming of your skin’s surface similar to the feeling of the sun heating the skin.
Your Stadia Med Spa practitioner will thoroughly clean the area and apply a topical anesthetic. Then they will place the RF microneedling device over the treatment area. Fine needles puncture the top layers of the skin (up to 3 mm), and your provider will pass the device over the treatment area several times.
The treatment time varies depending on the area being treated. A treatment could take as little as 30 minutes and up to an hour.
After Treatment
Although most patients report few if any side effects, the most common is a slight redness that disappears within an hour after treatment. You can expect to immediately return to normal activities, but use sunscreen if participating in outdoor activities.
Most patients fully recover a week after their procedure. Take extra care of your skin and use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer in the area for a few days after your appointment. Ask the medical team at Stadia Med Spa if you need recommendations or have any questions after treatment.

You cannot have RF microneedling if you are pregnant or nursing. Smokers are encouraged to quit as active smokers have an increased risk of bleeding, bruising, and infection. If you have an active acne flare up or infection in your treatment area, contact Stadia Med Spa to reschedule.
Results from RF microneedling may be visible within a few weeks of your procedure. However, most people do not see the full results of their treatment until 3 to 6 months. Cosmetic treatments that stimulate collagen growth may have results that continue to improve for up to a year after treatment.

Only work with accredited clinics and med spas for your RF microneedling treatments. Above all, you need a clean environment and a professional to ensure you do not risk infection.
RF microneedling results are visible within the first few weeks following your treatment and improve over time. Most people see visible results in 3 to 6 months with the appearance improving up to a year. You can maintain results with regular treatments every four to six weeks.
The number of RF microneedling treatments you need will depend on the area you are treating with Laser Genesis. On average, we recommend a series of 3 to 4 treatments, spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart.
Laser Genesis treatments are safe on all skin types. However, if you take antibiotics or other photosensitizing medications, you cannot be treated due to contraindications. Please disclose your current prescriptions, medications, and herbal supplements to Stadia Med Spa’s skin care specialist before your treatments begin.
A traditional facial can be quite harsh on the skin with numerous ingredients, any of which cause allergic reactions or breakouts. In addition, manual extractions performed during a traditional facial can be painful and traumatic to the skin resulting in redness.
Traditional facials will not stimulate collagen growth, improve texture, or diminish pore size but a Laser Genesis facial will. Laser Genesis also diffuses the facial redness that accompanies rosacea.
For those that are serious about their skin, upping the ante with a Laser Genesis facial is money well spent. While it can take up to six treatments to see optimal results from a Laser Genesis facial, the lasting results will be worth the extra time and cost.
RF microneedling costs vary according to where you receive your treatment. Stadia Med Spa recommends 3 to 4 treatments in a series. Contact Stadia Med Spa to schedule a consultation for a more exact estimate of what your RF microneedling treatment will cost.
