Radiofrequency Microneedling (Gentlo)

Gentlo combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivered into the skin to tighten laxity and improve texture more powerfully than microneedling alone. The radiofrequency heats the deeper layers to stimulate collagen and firm the skin, making it well suited to early jowls, crêpey eye-area skin and the neck. It can also be focused on individual scars and stretch marks, and a short course gives the most noticeable lifting.

Radiofrequency microneedling with the Gentlo system pairs the collagen-stimulating effect of microneedling with controlled radiofrequency energy released from the needle tips into the deeper layers of the skin. While the micro-needles trigger the skin's surface healing response, the radiofrequency heats the dermis, which is associated with contraction of existing collagen and the formation of new collagen and elastin — giving a firming, tightening effect that plain microneedling cannot achieve on its own. At PROESTETICA the area is cleansed and numbed before treatment, which takes around forty-five to sixty minutes depending on the region. Expect redness and a feeling of mild tightness or warmth for a day or two, with little other downtime. It is particularly useful for early skin laxity — softening jowls, firming the lower face and neck, and improving crêpey skin around the eyes — as well as enlarged pores, scarring and stretch marks. Because results build as collagen remodels, a course of around three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended, with effects continuing to improve over the following months and occasional maintenance thereafter. Suitability, including for anyone with certain implanted electronic devices, is assessed beforehand, and the treatment is avoided in pregnancy.
