Each of these treatments works well on its own. Layered in one appointment, they compound: the RF microneedling handpiece and the CO2 laser both create controlled micro-injuries that the body answers with new collagen, and the channels they open give Rejuran® Healer a direct path into the skin rather than sitting on the surface.
The first two steps run on one platform — the Cutera Secret PRO, which carries both an RF microneedling handpiece and a fractional CO2 handpiece. That is what makes treating at two different depths in a single sitting practical rather than a matter of moving between machines.
The sequence matters, and so does the depth and density of each pass. Your provider sets both according to your skin type, your history, and how much downtime you can accommodate.
Insulated needles pass through the surface and release radiofrequency energy at depth. You get the mechanical collagen trigger of needling plus controlled heat in the dermis, which is what adds a tightening effect needling alone does not produce.
Fractional CO2 energy treats a fraction of the surface at a time, leaving healthy tissue between columns to speed recovery. Gentler settings mean less downtime than traditional ablative resurfacing.
A polynucleotide treatment derived from purified salmon DNA, applied while the skin is at its most receptive. Patients know it as the "salmon DNA" step — it supports hydration and skin quality during healing.
This combination is built for patients who want a meaningful change in skin quality rather than a single-concern fix. It may help reduce the appearance of:
Your provider will assess your skin and confirm whether this protocol, or a different one, is the better route for your goals.

Book a single sessionSeries of three — $1,300 each
$3,900$1,300 per session — a savings of $1,050 against the regular price of $1,650 each. Sessions are spaced several weeks apart so the skin completes each renewal cycle before the next.
Book the series of 3We accept all major credit and debit cards, cash, and financing through Cherry and PatientFi. Candidacy and final recommendations are determined at consultation.
Your provider reviews your skin, your medical history, and your goals, then confirms whether this combination is appropriate and how aggressive each step should be.
The treatment area is cleansed and a topical numbing product is applied. Plan for this to add time to the front of your appointment.
Microneedling, then gentle CO2 resurfacing, then the Rejuran® Healer while the channels are still open — performed in sequence in a single visit.
You'll leave with specific instructions for the first several days, product guidance, and a recommended interval for your next session if you're doing the series.
Total appointment time varies with the area treated and the settings chosen for your skin.
Expect redness, warmth, tightness, and a sandpaper-like texture in the first days — closer to a moderate sunburn than to a peel. Swelling is common on day one and two. Most patients plan around three to five social-downtime days, though this varies with the settings used.
Follow your aftercare precisely: no picking or exfoliating, no heat or heavy sweating for the window your provider specifies, and daily sun protection. Sun exposure during healing is the single most common cause of a disappointing result.
Some patients are satisfied after one. Most who are treating acne scarring, sun damage, or more established texture change do better across a series of three, spaced several weeks apart. Your provider will recommend an interval based on how your skin responds to the first session.
This protocol suits adults in good general health who want to improve skin quality, texture, and scarring without surgery, and who can accommodate a few days of visible healing.
Treatment may need to be modified, postponed, or avoided if you:
Deeper skin tones can be treated, but require a tailored approach and often a priming regimen beforehand. Your provider will review your history and determine what is appropriate for you.
Physician-directed
Board Certified Aesthetic & Family Medicine Physician
Dr. Grenier practices on a simple premise: patients would rather get ahead of their health than react to it. She opened The G Spa San Francisco to extend that thinking into aesthetics — building wellness and skin health services alongside her medical practice rather than treating them as separate concerns.
That background is why a protocol like this one is sequenced rather than sold as a menu of add-ons. Depth, laser settings, and candidacy are medical decisions, and they're made as such.
A San Francisco native, she spends her time outside the clinic outdoors, with her family, reading, and baking.

Every protocol here is designed under physician direction and chosen for what the evidence supports, not for what is trending. That applies to this combination as much as to anything else on our menu.
