We are please to announce the addition of the Lutronic Genius microneedling with radiofrequency (MNRF) to our services. We are the first and only clinic in Tallahassee and the surrounding area to have this technology. The Lutronic Genius has the thinnest needles in MNRF industry. It’s semi-insulated needles deliver precision energy to targeted layers of the skin based on your skins needs and your treatment goals.
Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles and radiofrequency to rejuvenate the skin. Controlled injury stimulates the growth of healthy new skin at multiple layers. This process stimulates increased natural collagen, elastin, and fibroblast production which rejuvenates the skin and improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and acne scars. Meanwhile, RF energy gently heats the outer layers of skin which also results in collagen production and tighter skin.
We make this procedure as comfortable as possible. Please allow extra time for each session as we will apply a strong topical anesthetic (a numbing cream) to the area being treated for about one hour prior to beginning. Additionally, we have a Zimmer professional cooling device that is a game changer for MNRF comfort! It immediately cools the top of the skin for added comfort but also keeps the heat in the targeted deeper layers where it is most effective.

What is Microneedling?
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles and radiofrequency to rejuvenate the skin. Controlled injury stimulates the growth of healthy new skin which can result in increased natural collagen production and recues the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and acne scars. Meanwhile, RF energy gently heats the outer layers of skin which also results in collagen production and tighter skin.
The Microneedling Process
Modern treatments use an automated pen-like device. It’s handheld. The head of the device contains a circular arrangement of tiny needles. The device is set to penetrate the skin at a certain depth, making the treatment highly customizable.
As the provider passes the head of rotating needles across the skin, the needles make tiny openings in the epidermis. These minuscule punctures prompt a healing response in the skin without damaging tissue.
Opening the skin’s pores for nourishing topicals: Another benefit of microneedling is that the skin is essentially opened up via the tiny channels made, and can thereby better absorb any variety of rejuvenating topical ointments, creams and other skin products chosen by you and the provider.
How Long Does it Take to Heal from Microneedling?
Microneedling is minimally invasive, but your face will be flushed and red for about 24-72 hours after the appointment. During this time, don’t apply facial cosmetics. We know it is tempting to conceal the redness, but microneedling opens up the pores of your face, so the last thing you want to do is clog all those channels into the epidermis with makeup.
For 24-48 hours, it is normal to experience peeling, dryness, swelling and bumps. Follow our directions for which moisturizers and cleansers to use during this time. Your skin will start looking radiant and fresh after a few days, and results will continue to improve over the next couple of months as new collagen and elastin forms.
