What is radiofrequency (RF) microneedling?

The Lutronic Genius is an innovative radiofrequency microneedling system that provides dramatic anti-aging results for a smoother, firmer, more refreshed appearance. This revolutionary skincare treatment utilizes gold-plated needles and advanced technology to precisely deliver radiofrequency energy to the proper depths of the skin. It is designed for skin rejuvenation and tightening and is perfect for acne scarring, fine lines, sagging, skin tone, and texture.

How does radiofrequency (RF) microneedling work?

RF microneedling involves the use of a handheld device equipped with tiny, sterile needles that create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production. Simultaneously, the device delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy deep into the dermis, further enhancing the skin’s remodeling process. The combination of microneedling and RF energy leads to more dramatic results compared to traditional microneedling alone.
