What is Genius?
Genius® RF Microneedling is a next level, science driven skin rejuvenation system designed to treat aging and laxity at their source. This advanced technology uses ultra precise, gold plated microneedles to create controlled microchannels in the skin while simultaneously delivering customized radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis right where collagen and elastin are formed.
What sets Genius apart is its intelligent real time feedback system, which measures and adjusts the energy delivered with every pulse, ensuring optimal heating, maximum safety, and consistently transformative results. As the skin responds, it begins a powerful remodeling process: collagen strengthens, elastin rebuilds, and the tissue becomes tighter, smoother, and more youthful.
The result is a refined, lifted, and rejuvenated complexion achieved through a treatment that blends medical precision with a truly luxurious skincare experience.

The Treatment Process
During a Genius RF Microneedling treatment, your provider will begin by cleansing your skin and applying a numbing cream to keep you comfortable throughout the session. Once the area is fully prepped, the device gently stamps the skin with ultra-fine needles while delivering warm radio frequency energy beneath the surface. You may feel light pressure or a mild heat sensation, but most patients find the treatment very tolerable. The process typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Afterward, your skin may look slightly red or feel warm similar to a mild sunburn which usually fades within a day or two as your skin begins its natural collagen-boosting repair.
Pre – Treatment Care
- On day of treatment, patients should thoroughly wash face and not apply any makeup, lotions, sunscreen or any other cosmetics to the skin of the treatment area prior to arriving at facility.
- Thoroughly clean the treatment area.
Post – Treatment Care
- Immediately post treatment, clean the skin using a sterile saline soaked gauze and dry. Use an air cooler or towel wrapped ice pack to calm the skin down, if needed.
- An occlusive post-treatment ointment is not recommended.
- For cooling if needed, use a towel-wrapped ice pack and apply post treatment moisturizer per physician recommendations.
- Mild crusting might be noted 1-5 days following treatment. Crusts will disappear naturally in several days. Do not to pick at the crusts. Soaking skin in the shower for 10-15 minutes and rubbing very gently with a washcloth can help with sloughing.
- Patients should avoid harsh topical products or alcohol-based toners for two weeks. Otherwise, after 24 hours, patients can resume their normal skin care regimen or as directed by physician.
- Patients should avoid vigorous activity, excessive heat, or sun exposure for at least 1 week.
- Patients should avoid sun exposure for the first day and beginning on the second day, apply a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunblock with an SPF of 30+ and PA++ according to the product manufacturer’s instructions. Until the skin returns to normal, when outdoors always use an umbrella, hat or other available protection against sunlight.
- Wait a minimum of 4 weeks for their next treatment and that 4-6 weeks is typical between treatments.
- Most patients achieve best results with 2-4 treatments.
