ABOUT THE ULTIMATE DUO (GENIUS RF + LASEMD)
The Ultimate Duo combines Genius Radiofrequency Microneedling and LaseMD fractional laser for a synergistic rejuvenation effect.
Together, they stimulate deep collagen remodeling and resurface the upper skin layers — improving tone, texture, fine lines, pores, acne scars, and skin laxity.
Because this is an advanced combination treatment, following these pre- and post-care steps is essential for optimal healing and visible results.
PRE-TREATMENT CARE
Before Your Appointment
- Arrive 30 minutes early for topical numbing application.
- Arrive with a clean face — no makeup, sunscreen, lotion, or skincare products.
2–4 Weeks Before Treatment
- Avoid all tanning — including direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and spray tans — for 4 weeks prior to your appointment.
- If you have a history of Herpes Simplex virus (cold sores), please inform your provider; antiviral medication (such as valacyclovir) may be prescribed to prevent flare-ups.
- Avoid oral antibiotics for 2 weeks prior to treatment (some can increase photosensitivity).
- Discontinue isotretinoin (Accutane) for at least 6 months before your procedure.
1 Week Before Treatment
- Discontinue all active skincare, including:
- Retinoids or retinol
- Benzoyl peroxide
- AHA/BHA acids (glycolic, salicylic, lactic acid)
- Vitamin C serums or exfoliating agents
- Chemical peels or resurfacing products
- Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen) for 5–7 days unless prescribed. These may reduce your body’s healing response.
- Review all medications with your provider to identify photosensitive or contraindicated drugs.
- Avoid waxing, depilatories, or aggressive exfoliation on the treatment area.
Day of Appointment
- Stay well hydrated and eat a light meal before your visit.
- Avoid wearing makeup or lotions.
- Inform your provider if you:
- Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any active infection or acne breakout.
- Have a history of keloids, poor wound healing, or recent facial surgery.
POST-TREATMENT CARE
The Ultimate Duo combines deep dermal collagen induction (via RF Microneedling) with epidermal resurfacing (via LaseMD). Healing occurs in both the superficial and deep layers, so proper aftercare will enhance your results and minimize complications.
Immediately After Treatment (First 24 Hours)
- Expect redness, warmth, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation — this typically subsides within 24–48 hours.
- Mild pinpoint bleeding or sensitivity may occur.
- Downtime can be shortened with the addition of Exosomes, PRP, or PDRN, which accelerate healing.
- Avoid touching your face.
- Use your phone on speaker mode.
- Change your pillowcase before bed.
- Do not allow pets to sleep with you that night.
- You may gently wash your face before bed:
- Use a mild, non-exfoliating cleanser and lukewarm water (not hot).
- Gently pat dry — do not rub or scrub.
- Apply the post-procedure moisturizer or recovery cream provided or recommended by your provider.
If Growth Factors, PRP, or Exosomes Were Applied
- Leave them on your skin for 12–24 hours before cleansing to allow for full absorption and enhanced healing.
First 2–5 Days
- You may notice microcrusting or fine “coffee ground” texture on the skin.
- These are tiny scabs caused by the laser’s resurfacing action and indicate healthy recovery.
- Skin may feel rough, like sandpaper, for several days.
- Do not pick, peel, or scrub the microcrusts; they will naturally slough off within 5–7 days.
- Continue using only gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and repair serums as instructed.
- Avoid:
- Makeup for the first 24–48 hours
- Direct sun exposure for at least 1 week
- Exercise, sweating, saunas, or hot tubs for 48 hours
- Active skincare ingredients (retinol, acids, exfoliants) for 7 days
First Week
- Continue applying broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen daily (once the skin is fully intact).
- Avoid any other laser, peel, or exfoliating treatment for at least 2 weeks.
- Skin will gradually appear smoother, brighter, and more even-toned as new collagen forms.
RESULTS AND TREATMENT PLAN
- Visible improvement typically begins within 2–4 weeks, with continued collagen remodeling for up to 6 months.
- A series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal rejuvenation and tightening.
- Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months help preserve results.
- Pairing with PRP, PDRN, or Exosome therapy enhances healing, radiance, and texture improvement.
