Genius Skin Lifting Treatment
Improve Skin Firmness, Texture and Mild Laxity with Genius RF Microneedling
Genius RF microneedling combines fine microneedles with controlled radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production within the deeper layers of the skin.
Using a 49-microneedle treatment tip, Genius delivers radiofrequency energy at adjustable depths beneath the skin surface. This allows treatment parameters to be customised according to skin thickness, treatment area and the concern being addressed.
By stimulating collagen remodelling within the dermis, Genius RF microneedling may help improve skin firmness, fine lines, uneven texture and mild skin laxity over time.
How Does Genius RF Microneedling Work?
Genius uses fine microneedles to penetrate the skin at controlled depths while delivering radiofrequency energy directly into the underlying tissue.
The microneedles create controlled micro-injuries that activate the skin’s natural repair response, while the RF energy generates controlled heat within the dermis.
Together, these processes stimulate the production and remodelling of collagen and elastin.
As new collagen develops gradually, improvements in skin firmness, elasticity and texture become more noticeable over the weeks and months following treatment.
What Causes Skin Laxity?
Collagen and elastin play an important role in maintaining the structure, firmness and elasticity of the skin.
As we age, the production of these proteins gradually declines. Existing collagen also becomes more fragmented and less organised.
Over time, this may contribute to:
- reduced skin firmness
- fine lines and wrinkles
- loss of elasticity
- crepey skin texture
- mild sagging
- changes in facial contours
Sun exposure, lifestyle and environmental stress may also accelerate collagen breakdown.
How Can Genius Improve Skin Firmness?
Genius RF microneedling delivers controlled radiofrequency energy into the dermis, where collagen and elastin are located.
The thermal effect stimulates a wound-healing response within the treated tissue, encouraging collagen production and remodelling.
Over time, this may help improve skin firmness, elasticity and overall texture.
Unlike treatments designed to act primarily on deeper structural layers of the face, Genius focuses more on dermal collagen remodelling and skin quality.
For patients with more significant facial sagging, deeper lifting treatments may be more appropriate or may be combined with Genius as part of a broader treatment plan.
What Areas Can Genius Treat?
Genius RF microneedling may be used on areas where declining collagen and skin quality have become more noticeable.
Common treatment areas include:
- cheeks
- lower face
- jawline
- neck
- areas with fine lines
- areas with uneven or crepey texture
Treatment depth and energy can be adjusted according to the thickness of the skin and the area being treated.
Genius RF Microneedling: Key Features
One of the distinguishing features of Genius is its ability to monitor tissue response during treatment.
The system incorporates real-time feedback while radiofrequency energy is being delivered. This allows treatment parameters to be adjusted according to tissue characteristics and treatment goals.
Key features include:
- 49-microneedle treatment tip
- adjustable treatment depths
- controlled RF energy delivery
- real-time tissue feedback
- customisable treatment parameters
- ability to treat different areas using different settings
This allows treatment to be tailored rather than applying the same depth and energy uniformly across the entire face.
Genius RF Microneedling for Fine Lines and Skin Texture
Skin ageing does not only involve sagging.
Changes in collagen can also contribute to rougher texture, fine lines, enlarged pores and reduced skin elasticity.
By stimulating collagen and elastin within the dermis, Genius RF microneedling may help improve overall skin quality while addressing mild laxity at the same time.
This makes it particularly suitable for patients whose concerns involve a combination of texture, firmness and early signs of ageing.
Genius RF Microneedling vs Skin Lifting Treatments
Genius RF microneedling works primarily within the dermis to improve collagen, skin texture and firmness.
Other treatments such as Ultherapy Prime or radiofrequency skin-tightening technologies may target different depths or structures within the face.
For this reason, the treatments are not necessarily interchangeable.
A patient concerned mainly with skin texture and early laxity may benefit from RF microneedling, while someone with more significant facial sagging may require treatment at deeper tissue levels.
The most appropriate treatment depends on the underlying cause of the concern rather than the device alone.

Can Genius Be Combined with Other Skin Tightening Treatments?
Yes.
Because different technologies target different depths and structures, Genius RF microneedling may sometimes be combined or sequenced with other treatments.
Depending on the patient’s concerns, these may include:
ULTHERAPY PRIME For ultrasound-based treatment targeting deeper structural layers.
RADIOFREQUENCY SKIN TIGHTENING For broader heating of deeper tissue.
INJECTABLE COLLAGEN-STIMULATING TREATMENTS For selected patients who may benefit from additional collagen support or structural improvement.
A doctor will determine whether combination treatment is appropriate after assessing the degree and location of skin laxity.
What Happens During a Genius Treatment?
Before treatment, the skin is assessed and the treatment areas are identified.
A topical numbing cream is usually applied beforehand to improve comfort.
During treatment, the Genius handpiece is placed against the skin. Fine microneedles penetrate to predetermined depths before radiofrequency energy is delivered into the tissue.
Different areas may be treated using different settings depending on skin thickness and treatment objectives.
Treatment typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes, excluding numbing time, although this varies according to the area treated.
Is Genius Suitable for Different Skin Types?
RF microneedling delivers energy into the deeper layers of the skin rather than relying primarily on treatment of surface pigment.
This may make RF microneedling suitable for a range of skin tones when performed using appropriate settings.
However, any procedure that causes inflammation may carry a risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Treatment parameters and post-treatment care should therefore be tailored to the individual.
Genius RF Microneedling vs RF Microneedling for Acne Scars
The same RF microneedling technology may be used for different concerns, but the treatment objectives and settings can differ.
For skin tightening, treatment focuses primarily on improving dermal collagen, skin firmness and early laxity.
For acne scars, treatment depth and technique may be selected according to scar type and may form part of a combination scar treatment programme.
