Essential Pre-Treatment Preparation Steps
Successful LaseMD and Genius RF microneedling treatment outcomes depend on proper preparation as their life-blood. The right steps before your treatment can substantially improve your results, especially when it comes to Genius skin treatments.
Optimal timing for your skin rejuvenation treatment
Winter months provide the best time to schedule your LaseMD or Genius RF microneedling treatment. Your skin’s natural winter paleness creates an ideal canvas for the laser and radiofrequency energy to work its magic [1]. This schedule reduces side effect risks and allows enough time to achieve your desired results before summer arrives, whether you’re targeting wrinkle reduction, acne scar treatment, or overall skin texture improvement.
Dietary adjustments to improve results
Nutrition plays a vital role in treatment success. We recommend focusing on:
- Hydration and Electrolytes: Good skin hydration prevents puffiness and water retention [2]
- Protein-Rich Foods: Lean meats, fish, and eggs support your skin’s structure [2]
- Antioxidant-Rich Foods: Berries and green tea can boost your skin’s protective abilities [3]
Your best results come when you avoid caffeine, sugar, and nicotine on treatment day [4]. A proper meal before your appointment helps your body stay relaxed and increases pain tolerance, which is especially important for Genius RF microneedling treatments.
Skincare routine modifications before treatment
Your skincare modifications should follow this timeline to ensure optimal results:
4-6 weeks before:
- Stop indoor and outdoor tanning [5]
- Discontinue isotretinoin medications [5]
2 weeks before:
- Skip Botox treatments [4]
- Start prescribed lightening serums if you’re prone to hyperpigmentation [6]
1 week before:
- Avoid retinols and abrasive skincare products [5]
- Stop using topical acids and exfoliants [7]
Your skin should be thoroughly cleaned and free of makeup, lotions, or sunscreen on treatment day [8]. We apply a topical anesthetic an hour before your procedure to keep you comfortable during treatment, whether you’re opting for LaseMD or Genius RF microneedling.
Maximizing Treatment Day Success
Your LaseMD or Genius RF microneedling treatment success starts with the right mindset and preparation. Here’s what you need to know to make your treatment experience smooth and comfortable, especially when undergoing Lutronic Genius laser treatments.
Mental and physical preparation techniques
Stress levels can substantially affect your treatment experience. Schedule your appointment during low-stress periods and avoid times near menstruation when sensitivity increases [4]. These steps will optimize your comfort:
- Practice deep breathing exercises to calm your nerves
- Stay well-hydrated the day before and day of treatment
- Avoid stimulants like caffeine and sugar [4]
What to bring and wear to your appointment
Bring these items to stay comfortable during your Genius face treatment:
- A comfortable sweater or light jacket
- Reading material (book, iPad, or Kindle)
- Glasses instead of contact lenses
- A hat or umbrella to protect yourself from sun after treatment [4]
Wear comfortable clothes that you can change easily. We’ll provide a disposable gown if needed [5]. Your skin should be completely clean without makeup, lotions, or deodorants in the treatment area [4].
Communication tips with your provider
Clear communication leads to optimal results. We want you to:
Share Your Medical History: Tell us about any history of Herpes Simplex or Shingles because you might need preventive medication [9]. Let us know about managed health conditions like diabetes [4].
Discuss Comfort Options: PRONOX (laughing gas) is available for more intensive treatments [5]. We’ll review if numbing cream suits your treatment goals [9].
Express Your Concerns: Your comfort matters to us. Let us know about any discomfort or questions during the procedure [4]. We can adjust our approach to keep you comfortable throughout treatment, whether you’re receiving LaseMD or Genius RF microneedling.
Plan to arrive 75 minutes before your scheduled appointment. This gives us time to prepare your skin and apply any necessary numbing agents [5].
Critical Post-Treatment Care Strategies
Your LaseMD and Genius RF microneedling treatment benefits continue long after you leave our clinic. Here’s a detailed guide to the recovery protocols we’ve refined through extensive experience, ensuring minimal downtime and optimal results.
First 48 hours recovery protocol
The initial recovery period brings a warming sensation that feels like a sunburn and typically lasts 1-2 hours after treatment [8]. Cool compresses wrapped in sterile gauze can provide comfort, but the treated area should not have direct contact with ice [4].
Your healing process works best when you:
- Sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling
- Take an antihistamine such as Zyrtec during daytime or Benadryl at night [5]
- Drink plenty of water and avoid coffee and alcohol [5]
Recommended products and ingredients
These carefully selected products will support your healing effectively. Your skincare routine should include these items for the first three days:
Morning Protocol:
- Gentle cleanser (we recommend Epionce Gentle Foaming Cleanser)
- Moisturizer (Epionce Renewal Lactic Acid Moisturizer)
- Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen [6]
Evening Protocol:
- Same gentle cleanser
- Dermal repair cream
- Hyaluronic acid serum if your skin feels dehydrated [6]

Signs of optimal healing progress
You should feel confident about your recovery. Here’s what you can expect after your Genius skin treatment:
Days 1-2: Mild swelling and warmth are normal signs [10] that show the treatment is working effectively.
Days 2-7: Your skin develops a slight sandpaper texture [10]. This positive sign indicates skin renewal. Your skin becomes noticeably smoother by day 7 [10].
Weeks 1-4: Improvements continue to develop, with best results showing around the one-month mark [10]. Our team monitors your progress to ensure proper healing and optimal skin tightening results.
Note that blistering rarely occurs, but please contact our office immediately if you notice any [10]. Our team supports you throughout your recovery process, whether you’ve undergone LaseMD or Lutronic Genius RF microneedling.
Advanced Result Enhancement Techniques
Here’s how you can get the most from your LaseMD and Genius RF microneedling results. These strategies come from years of clinical experience and research that will help you maximize your investment in your skin’s health, especially when it comes to addressing concerns like aging skin, jawline tightening, and pore size reduction.
Complementary treatments and timing
The right combination of treatments creates cooperative results with better outcomes. Our research shows that biostimulatory injectables can increase laser and microneedling results while keeping downtime minimal [11]. These timing guidelines will give you the best results:
Treatment Combination | Recommended Timing |
LaseMD + Botox | Wait 2 weeks [7] |
LaseMD + Fillers | Wait 4-6 weeks [7] |
LaseMD + Chemical Peels | Space 4-8 weeks apart [11] |
Genius RF + Botox | Wait 2 weeks |
Genius RF + Fillers | Wait 4-6 weeks |
Lifestyle habits that boost results
Your LaseMD and Genius RF microneedling results can last up to 12 months [12] with these proven habits. The best outcomes come from:
- Daily use of broad-spectrum SPF 30+, even indoors [12]
- Products with retinol, collagen, or hyaluronic acid [12]
- Good skin hydration through moisturizing and water intake [4]
- Limited heat exposure, including saunas and hot showers [7]
Professional maintenance recommendations
Long-term results need targeted maintenance treatments. Clinical studies show that regular sessions every 4-8 weeks can optimize and extend your results [11], especially for concerns like wrinkle reduction and skin firming.
A complete skin health plan should alternate between:
- Gentle Chemical Peels: Quick lunch-time treatments with no downtime [11]
- Targeted Skincare: Adding niacinamide after 7 days boosts results [11]
- Biostimulatory Treatments: These quickly increase collagen production [11]
Our clinical team will customize your maintenance plan based on your skin’s needs and response to treatment [11], ensuring personalized treatments for optimal results.
