Real time tissue sensing, energy adjustment, and dose measurement to help volumize and tighten1 your skin appearance. That’s Genius!
The Genius paltform is the only RF Microneedling platform2 featuring Intelligent Energy Delivery—a breakthrough technology that enhances collagen stimulation with measurable clinical precision. With the Genius system, practitioners can deliver premium, comfortable treatments that achieve noticeable skin tightening1 and volumization, all while maximizing ROI. It allows providers to precisely deliver RF energy to stimulate collagen and elastin, offering consistent results for all skin types, year-round.
Genius RF Microneedling technology uses insulated microneedles that penetrate deeply into the dermis to deliver controlled radiofrequency energy in the form of brief, targeted heat. This energy creates micro-coagulation zones—tiny thermal injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin for volumized, firmer-looking skin. The Genius device features real-time tissue sensing that confirms energy is being delivered exactly as intended. Without this feedback, other systems leave providers guessing. The Genius platform is the only one with Intelligent Energy Delivery—ensuring optimized, precise coagulation for superior skin revitalization and tightening outcomes.
aul M. Friedman, MD, Dermatology & Laser Surgery Center“Among RF microneedling systems, only Genius RF features real-time intelligence built into the platform, allowing it to measure and adapt to changing dermal conditions. This capability ensures the precise and consistent formation of the desired micro-coagulation zones, giving us confidence that collagen volumization is occurring beneath the skin. The Genius platform also displays the total energy delivered, enabling us to track and plan treatments for high-quality patient experiences and results.”
Jay Burns, MD, Resurrect Skin M.D.“The product truly is “genius”, as it actually measures impedance accurately and gives real time feedback during the energy delivery to optimize the desired effect and predictable injury in the dermis. In addition, the high torque motor in the handpiece, when coupled with proprietary extra sharp needle design, allows me to precisely deliver energy to where I want it to benefit my patients. I have more confidence in the Genius system than any other radiofrequency system currently on the market. The Genius system is an important part of our practice, and we couldn't be happier with the results it provides for our clients. It has become a workhorse for our patients.”
Omar Ibrahimi, MD, PhD, Connecticut Skin Institute“The Genius device is my go-to for safely stimulating dermal volumization and skin tightening. It’s the best-in-class RF microneedling platform, thanks to its high-quality needles and real-time impedance monitoring. The Genius device provides tissue feedback that enables precise, optimized coagulation—exactly where it's needed, and nowhere else. I often follow Genius treatments with complementary Ultra sessions during the same visit. The Ultra laser is an advanced fractional, non-ablative 1927nm laser that helps lighten unwanted superficial pigmentation and promote a more youthful-looking complexion. These sequential treatments are safe, effective, and suitable for all skin types with minimal downtime.”
Patients often experience some pressure and heat during treatment, which is typically well-tolerated with the use of topical anesthetics provided by your practitioner. Some practices also use the Genius Air Cooling Clip in combination with an on-site Zimmer chiller to further enhance comfort.
Treatment time varies depending on the area being treated, typically ranging from 20 to 45 minutes. Mild pinkness and swelling are common after the procedure and usually subside within 24 to 36 hours. Full recovery may take up to one week.
While some patients notice early improvement after a single session, most require 3 to 4 treatments to achieve optimal results. Over the six months following treatment, collagen continues to rebuild, leading to gradual enhancements. Your provider will guide you and help set expectations.
Many providers combine Genius RF Microneedling with other technologies to deliver both immediate and long-term results. A popular pairing is the Ultra fractional non-ablative laser, which quickly improves superficial tone and texture within weeks—while the Genius treatment delivers deeper skin tightening over several months. This combination is ideal for patients who appreciate both immediate visible results and long-term improvements.
