Genius RF Microneedling -Texture, Tightening, Volume
Advanced RF Microneedling for Skin Tightening, Acne Scars, Wrinkles & Texture
Genius RF Microneedling is an advanced collagen-stimulating treatment that combines precision microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten skin, improve acne scars, refine texture, add volume and rejuvenate aging skin — with minimal downtime.
Unlike traditional microneedling, Genius delivers radiofrequency heat deep into the dermis through ultra-fine gold-plated needles. This stimulates powerful collagen and elastin production beneath the skin’s surface, making it highly effective for skin tightening, wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne scars, crepey skin, and overall skin rejuvenation.
At Element Medical Aesthetics, treatments are fully customizable using adjustable needle depths and energy settings to target concerns on the face, jawline, neck, under-eyes, chest, and body.

What To Expect
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment for comfort. During the procedure, tiny needles create controlled microchannels in the skin while delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis.
Most patients experience redness, mild swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation for 24–72 hours, depending on treatment intensity. Skin may feel rough or dry for several days as the healing and collagen-building process begins.
Many patients notice early improvements in skin texture and glow within a few weeks, with continued tightening and collagen remodeling developing over the following months. A series of treatments is typically recommended for optimal results, especially for acne scars and skin laxity.

Sofwave - Non-Surgical / No Downtime Lifting & Tightening
Advanced Ultrasound Skin Tightening for Lifting, Firming & Collagen Stimulation. It’s especially popular for patients seeking visible lifting and tightening without surgery or extended downtime.
Sofwave is an advanced non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses next-generation ultrasound technology to lift, firm, and rejuvenate the skin — without needles, surgery, or significant downtime.
The treatment delivers controlled ultrasound energy into the mid-dermal layer of the skin, stimulating the body’s natural collagen production process. As new collagen rebuilds over time, the skin gradually becomes firmer, smoother, and more lifted.
Sofwave is especially popular for improving mild to moderate skin laxity, softening fine lines, and restoring a tighter, more refreshed appearance to the face, jawline, neck, and brows.
At Element Medical Aesthetics, Sofwave treatments are customized based on your anatomy, skin laxity, and aesthetic goals for natural-looking rejuvenation.

During treatment, Sofwave delivers ultrasound energy beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen remodeling. Most patients tolerate the procedure well, and a topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand for comfort.
Following treatment, some patients experience mild redness or swelling that typically resolves within a few hours. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
While some improvement may be visible within several weeks, results continue to develop over the following 3–6 months as collagen production increases. Many patients choose Sofwave as a preventative aging treatment or to maintain skin firmness without surgery.
Sofwave is also commonly combined with regenerative and collagen-stimulating treatments such as Sculptra, Radiesse, or Genius RF Microneedling for more comprehensive rejuvenation and skin tightening results.

Mosaic 3D - Texture, Pigment, Skin Rejuvenation

Think Fraxel® — but more advanced. Mosaic 3D is a next-generation fractional laser treatment designed to improve skin tone, texture, acne scars, pigmentation, and early signs of aging with minimal downtime.
Using non-ablative fractional laser technology, Mosaic 3D creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones within the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This stimulates powerful collagen and elastin production while allowing for faster healing and recovery compared to more aggressive resurfacing treatments.
Over time, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, brighter, and more refined as new collagen rebuilds from within. Mosaic 3D is an excellent option for patients seeking meaningful skin rejuvenation with a comfortable treatment and manageable downtime.
At Element Medical Aesthetics, Mosaic 3D treatments are customized based on your skin concerns, goals, and desired recovery time.

What To Expect
During treatment, the fractional laser creates microscopic zones of controlled injury within the skin to stimulate collagen production and healthy skin renewal. A topical numbing cream is typically applied beforehand for comfort.
Most patients experience redness, warmth, swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation for several days following treatment. As the skin heals, rough texture and bronzing may occur before fresh, healthier skin emerges. While many patients return to normal activities within a few days, full recovery and skin renewal typically occur over 7–10 days.
Many patients notice improvement in skin tone, texture, and radiance within the first few weeks, with continued collagen remodeling and rejuvenation developing over the following months. A series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results, especially for acne scars and texture concerns.

IPL - Pigment and Redness Correction
The Gold Standard Treatment for Redness, Broken Capillaries, Sun Damage, Pigmentation & Uneven Skin Tone
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment that restores a clearer, brighter, and more even complexion. Often called a “photofacial,” IPL uses advanced light-based technology to target unwanted pigment and visible blood vessels beneath the skin — helping reduce discoloration, redness, and sun damage while stimulating healthy skin renewal.
IPL is one of the most effective treatments for rosacea, facial redness, broken capillaries, brown spots, freckles, and uneven skin tone. As the skin heals, pigment gradually fades, redness diminishes, and the complexion appears smoother, healthier, and more radiant.
At Element Medical Aesthetics, IPL treatments are customized based on your skin type, pigment concerns, redness severity, and treatment goals.
What Does IPL Treat?
Sun damage and age spots
Brown spots and pigmentation
Rosacea and facial redness
Broken capillaries and vascular lesions
Uneven skin tone

What To Expect
During treatment, pulses of light are delivered into the skin to target excess pigment and visible blood vessels without harming surrounding tissue. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap of heat against the skin.
Following treatment, mild redness and warmth are common for several hours. Pigmented spots often temporarily darken before flaking away over the following days, revealing clearer, brighter skin underneath.
Many patients notice improvement after a single session, though a series of treatments is often recommended for optimal correction of sun damage, redness, rosacea, and pigmentation concerns. Continued improvement in skin clarity and tone develops over time with consistent treatments and proper sun protection.
IPL is often combined with treatments such as Ultra Laser Resurfacing, Genius RF Microneedling, or medical-grade skincare to further enhance skin tone, texture, and overall rejuvenation.
Ideal Candidates

Erbium Laser Skin Resurfacing (Er:Yag) - Deep Resurfacing
Advanced Laser Resurfacing for Wrinkles, Sun Damage, Acne Scars & Dramatic Skin Renewal. It’s especially popular for patients seeking more dramatic resurfacing and rejuvenation results than lighter laser treatments can provide.
Erbium Laser Resurfacing is our most powerful skin resurfacing treatment for dramatically improving wrinkles, sun damage, texture, acne scars, and advanced signs of aging. Often considered one step below a traditional CO2 laser, Erbium delivers significant skin rejuvenation while allowing for more customization and precision.
One of the unique advantages of Erbium resurfacing is its versatility. Treatments can range from a light “lunchtime laser facial” with minimal downtime to deeper, more aggressive resurfacing for advanced correction and collagen remodeling.
The Erbium laser works by precisely removing damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating powerful collagen production beneath the surface. As the skin heals, smoother, firmer, brighter skin emerges with improved tone, texture, and overall skin quality.
At Element Medical Aesthetics, Erbium treatments are fully customized based on your skin concerns, goals, and desired recovery time.

Treatment intensity can vary significantly depending on your goals. Lighter Erbium settings provide a gentle resurfacing effect with minimal downtime and a refreshed glow, while deeper treatments offer more dramatic correction for wrinkles, sun damage, and texture concerns.
During treatment, the laser precisely removes damaged skin while stimulating collagen renewal beneath the surface. A topical numbing cream is typically applied, and more intensive treatments may require additional comfort measures.
Following treatment, patients may experience redness, swelling, warmth, and peeling as the skin renews itself. Recovery can range from a few days with lighter settings to 1–2 weeks with deeper resurfacing treatments.
Many patients notice brighter, smoother skin once healing is complete, with continued improvement in firmness, texture, and collagen production developing over the following months.
Erbium Laser Resurfacing is often combined with regenerative treatments, RF microneedling, or medical-grade skincare to further enhance skin rejuvenation and long-term collagen stimulation.

Combination Laser Rejuvenation
A powerful combination treatment that rebuilds collagen deep within the skin while resurfacing the surface for dramatically improved tone, texture, and radiance.
For enhanced skin rejuvenation, Genius RF microneedling, Mosaic 3D fractional laser or Sofwave can be combined with Ultra laser resurfacing in the same treatment session. While Genius or Mosaic work deeper in the skin to stimulate collagen and improve texture, Ultra laser gently resurfaces the skin’s surface, helping to refine tone, smooth the complexion, and accelerate visible results.
This layered approach allows us to treat the skin both deep within the dermis and at the surface, addressing concerns such as fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and overall skin quality more comprehensively.
By finishing the treatment with Ultra laser resurfacing, patients often experience brighter, smoother, and more polished skin as the deeper collagen remodeling begins to take effect.
Benefits of combination treatment:
• Treats multiple layers of the skin in one session
• Enhances overall skin tone and texture
• Boosts collagen stimulation and rejuvenation
• Helps maximize results from RF microneedling or fractional laser treatments
Your provider will determine the best combination based on your skin goals to create a customized rejuvenation plan designed for optimal results.
