The Total Skin Solution
Guide
What is the Total Skin Solution?
The Total Skin Solution, or Lutronic’s Ultra Skin Solution, is more than just a treatment; it’s a personalized approach to skin health. Combining the power of Genius® RF microneedling with LaseMD Ultra™ it can address various concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to acne scars and uneven texture.
How Does It Work?
This next-level combo multi-tasks to give you a radiant complexion. While traditional skin rejuvenation treatments often focus on one issue at a time, the Total Skin Solution delivers comprehensive results. You will immediately see improvements in your skin’s radiance and experience long-term benefits as your skin’s collagen production is stimulated.

- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone
- Sun damage
Genius RF and LaseMD Ultra, when used together, are a dynamic duo that can transform your skin.
Aftercare Tips
Getting the best results is reliant on proper aftercare. We’ll give you detailed post-op instructions during your consultation, but here’s a general overview:
Immediately After
The extent of your downtime depends on the specific concerns being addressed. For subtle enhancements, like improving skin tone, minimal downtime is expected. If you’re targeting more significant issues, such as sun damage or deep wrinkles, you might initially experience mild swelling or redness. Additionally, tiny brown dots similar to coffee grounds may appear on your skin for up to a week before exfoliating naturally.
Days Following
- To help your skin heal faster, avoid using harsh skin care products like retinol or exfoliants for about a week.
- Protecting your skin from the sun is also crucial. Always use SPF 50, especially in the first 24 hours after your treatment, and try to limit direct sun exposure during this time.
- As for makeup, give your skin a day or two to rest before applying it again. When you do, ensure your brushes are clean and remove makeup gently.
You’ll help your skin recover better and enjoy longer-lasting results from your treatment if you follow these guidelines.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of sessions you’ll need varies based on your goals. Some people notice results after just one session as this combination is much more powerful than having each treatment separately. Others may require a few treatments to achieve their goals.
For best results with the Total Skin Solution, we usually recommend 3-4 treatments. According to RealSelf, most patients see improvements 3-6 months after their final session of Genius. With Ultra, you’ll notice improvements soon, with optimal results in 3-6 months.
Many patients are so happy with their results that they opt for follow-up sessions every 6-12 months to maintain them. You’ll start seeing improvements after your first treatment, and your skin will continue to improve as you follow your personalized treatment plan.

How To Prepare for a Treatment
Being prepared plays a vital role in achieving the best results possible. Here are our pro tips for a smooth and complication-free treatment:
- If you’ve recently used Accutane, wait a minimum of 6-12 months before your treatment.
- If you’re prone to dark spots, consider using a skin brightener for a few weeks beforehand.
- In the week or two leading up to your appointment, switch to a gentle cleanser and avoid strong skincare products like retinol or acids.
- Protect your skin from the sun by wearing sunscreen and avoiding excessive sun exposure.
- Skip waxing, scrubbing, and microdermabrasion for the weeks leading up to your treatment.
- If you’ve had cold sores, let us know so we can prescribe medication.
- On the day of your treatment, eat a healthy meal and stay hydrated.
- Avoid caffeine and Advil on the day of your treatment.
- Please arrive makeup-free.
What Happens During a Treatment?
We want your treatment to be as comfortable as possible. That’s why we start by numbing the area. While most people find the procedure quite gentle, we understand people have different comfort levels. If you’re slightly more sensitive, we can adjust the settings or use additional numbing to ensure you’re relaxed throughout the treatment.
The Total Skin Solution is a two-step approach. First, we use Genius RF to build a strong foundation for your skin by stimulating collagen production. This helps to improve texture, tone, and firmness. Next, we apply the Ultra treatment to refine the skin’s surface, targeting various concerns such as fine lines, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. It’s like giving your skin a deep cleanse and a radiant glow, all in one session.
Am I a Candidate?
Suitable for almost everyone, Genius RF tackles wrinkles, uneven texture, and sagging skin with ease. Whether young or mature Genius can help you achieve a healthier, more radiant complexion. Genius RF might not be the best option if you have active cold sores, skin infections, or certain medical conditions. We’ll discuss this during your consultation.
LaseMD Ultra targets various issues, from redness and pigmentation to wrinkles and acne scars. It works on all skin tones so everyone can enjoy its benefits.
