RF Microneedling Explained: Genius by Lutronic

RF Microneedling Explained: Genius by Lutronic

Microneedling has been a skin clinic staple for years. Radiofrequency microneedling takes the idea and makes it work harder, and the Lutronic Genius is one of the most capable systems for doing it. If you have been reading about it and want to know what it actually does, here is a plain explanation from our team in Radlett.

What RF microneedling is

Traditional microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny channels in the skin. That controlled injury prompts your skin to repair itself and lay down fresh collagen. It works well on the surface, but it can only do so much on its own.

RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy to the mix. As the needles reach a set depth, they release heat into the deeper layers of the skin. That heat is what triggers a much stronger collagen and elastin response, the two proteins that keep skin firm and smooth. You get the resurfacing benefit of microneedling and the tightening benefit of radiofrequency in one treatment.

Why we use the Lutronic Genius

Not all RF microneedling devices are the same, and the Genius is one of the reasons we rate this treatment so highly. It uses insulated microneedles to deliver energy precisely where it is wanted, deep in the skin, while leaving the surface largely intact. That precision means more comfort, more control, and results you can rely on.

The system also lets us adjust the depth and energy for different areas of the face, so a delicate zone near the eyes is treated differently to a fuller area like the cheeks. It is safe for all skin types and tones, which is not something every energy device can claim.

What it treats

RF microneedling with the Genius is a genuine all-rounder. We use it for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars and some surgical scars
• Enlarged pores
• Loss of firmness and early skin laxity
• Uneven texture and tone

What to expect on the day

A session usually takes 20 to 45 minutes depending on the area. We apply a numbing cream first so you stay comfortable throughout. Afterwards your skin will feel warm and look a little red, much like mild sunburn. Most people find this settles within 24 to 72 hours.

You will see some early improvement in texture quite quickly, but the real change builds over the following weeks as new collagen forms. Results tend to keep improving for six to twelve weeks after each session. For most concerns we recommend a course of around three treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart, with the option of a maintenance session later on.

Is it right for you?

RF microneedling suits people who want firmer, smoother, more even skin without surgery and without a long recovery. If you are weighing it up against other options, or you are not sure it is the right fit for your skin, the best next step is a consultation. We will look at your skin, talk through what you want to achieve, and give you honest advice on whether the Genius is the right choice.
