Microneedling has become one of the most popular ways to improve skin texture and firmness without surgery. At Bucay Center for Dermatology & Aesthetics in San Antonio, Texas, our board-certified dermatologists use two highly effective technologies: the EVO MicroPen and Genius RF microneedling.
These treatments stimulate collagen and help your skin look healthier, but they do it in different ways. A side-by-side look can help you figure out which one matches your needs.
What Sets These Treatments Apart?
EVO MicroPen and Genius RF microneedling both rely on the skin’s natural ability to repair itself. One focuses more on surface refinement, while the other reaches deeper to tighten and rebuild structure.
EVO MicroPen
The EVO MicroPen uses traditional microneedling to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the surface layers of the skin. These tiny channels trigger the body’s healing response, which boosts collagen and elastin production.
Many patients notice their skin feels smoother and looks more even just days after treatment. Downtime is typically short—usually some redness and light sensitivity for a day or two—making it a good option for those with busy schedules or sensitive skin.
Genius RF Microneedling
The Genius RF system combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to reach deeper layers of the skin. As the needles penetrate, they deliver targeted heat below the surface, stimulating collagen production where skin structure begins to break down with age. This added energy helps tighten and firm the skin over time, offering more dramatic results.
Genius RF also allows for customized energy delivery based on skin thickness, making it especially useful for delicate areas like the jawline, neck, and lower face.
Choosing the Right Option for You
The technique and depth of treatment make each one better suited for specific concerns.
The EVO MicroPen is a good fit if your main concerns include dullness, uneven skin tone, fine lines, enlarged pores, or shallow acne scars. It’s a versatile treatment for people who want to smooth out texture and give their skin a brighter appearance without much downtime.
The Genius RF is better suited for those noticing signs of aging, like skin laxity, deeper wrinkles, and uneven texture. It’s especially effective for the lower face, jawline, and neck, where the skin naturally becomes thinner and looser with time.
