Genius RF Microneedling
The Genius RF system utilizes an advanced collagen induction technique that results in the creation of more elastin and collagen. Increasing the levels of these anti-aging skin proteins results in numerous improvements to the health and appearance of the skin.

How Does Genius Work?
The face tip has 49 very fine needles which can be programmed to target specific depths. Deeper depths achieve facial contouring and fat reduction where desired (such as in the jowl’s or under eye bags). Emitting radiofrequency at more superficial depths cause skin tightening which has greater effects on reducing wrinkles. The goal of treatment with Genius is to target multiple depths to achieve various desired effects.
How does Genius compare with other RF Microneedling Devices on the market?
Genius RF Microneedling by Lutronic distinguishes itself from other RF microneedling devices on the market by the superior effectiveness of the treatments without the associated downtime. Only Lutronic Genius is proven to achieve the actual depth necessary for maximum collagen and elastin formation. This is because many devices "push" the skin away or "bounce" off the skin and therefore don't go as deep as they state. Because there are 49 needles per tip (compared with 24 needles with Morpheus 8), more energy can be emitted, producing a higher level of skin tightening. In addition, the Genius needles are finer and more flexible, causing less epidermal injury, less risk for bruising, bleeding, or scratches often seen with other RF devices.
Another important feature that sets the Genius apart, is called “impedance feedback” This basically means that the Genius uses a smart handpiece that scans the skin as it passes, allowing for changes in needle insertion to account for differences, like thickness or texture. This device gives real-time feedback about total energy delivery into the skin.
These advancements allow the Lutronic Genius to achieve unparalleled skin tightening and improvement in skin laxity compared to other RF devices.
Combining Genius RF with LaseMD Ultra
While Genius RF Microneedling affects the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production resulting in skin tightening and reduced appearance of scars, LaseMD Ultra is a resurfacing laser that works on the more superficial layers of the skin to improve fine lines/wrinkles, smooth texture, and remove unwanted pigment. Both treatments can be performed on the same day for optimal results.
What can I expect during treatment?
Topical numbing medication will be applied after your skin has been thoroughly cleansed. The numbing medication is left on the skin for 1 hour before treatment begins. A section of your treatment area will be cleansed before microneedling on that section begins. The microneedling tip has very fine needles that make the procedure tolerable.
What can I expect after treatment?
There is initial redness and swelling which substantially subsides after 24-36 hours, but can take up to a week to completely resolve. Most people resume normal activities within 48 hours.
How many treatments do I need?
To get the optimal results from Genius RF Microneedling, we recommend a series of three treatments, once a month. You may see improvements in skin texture and tone after just one Genius RF Microneedling treatment, but full results appear three to six months after your final treatment.
