FAQ: Genosys Microneedling

---

Genosys Microneedling is an advanced collagen induction therapy that combines precision microneedling devices with specially formulated cosmeceuticals. This minimally invasive procedure stimulates your skin’s natural healing process, triggering increased production of collagen and elastin for healthier, more youthful skin.

What skin concerns does it treat?

Genosys Microneedling effectively treats acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. It’s suitable for all skin types, including fragile areas around the eyes, mouth, and neck.

What are the benefits?

Skin thickness can increase by up to 80%, smoothing scars and reducing fine lines. It delivers similar results to laser treatments but is less invasive with shorter recovery time. The treatment is particularly safe for darker skin tones as it doesn’t deliver heat like lasers.

What happens during treatment?

A topical anaesthetic is applied for 25-30 minutes, followed by 20-30 minutes of microneedling, finishing with a soothing mask. The advanced Needle Pen-K technology provides less pain and discomfort than manual methods.

What should I expect after treatment?

Your skin will look and feel like mild sunburn for 24 hours, with possible redness for up to 5 days. Most people can return to work the following day. Avoid active skincare ingredients like retinol and vitamin C for 5 days after treatment.

When will I see results?

Visible improvements appear from 2 weeks post-treatment, continuing over the following months. Studies show acne scars can fade by 50-70% with proper treatment. Collagen levels remain elevated for up to one year after treatment.

How many treatments do I need?

A course of 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results. For acne scars, 3-5 treatments may be needed.

Is it safe for my skin type?

Genosys Microneedling is safe for all skin types and can be adjusted to target specific concerns. However, treatment should be avoided if you have active acne, open wounds, cold sores, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
