FAQs
-
Genius RF Microneedling uses ultra-fine, insulated microneedles to pass through the outer skin layer and release controlled radiofrequency heat directly into the deeper dermis.
-
Genius RFMN can help treat fine lines, deep wrinkles, cheek and jawline sagging, enlarged pores, acne scars, and uneven skin texture.
-
A topical numbing cream is applied 60 minutes prior to the procedure. Most patients describe the sensation as light pressure, prickling, or moderate warmth rather than sharp pain.
-
Genius RFMN downtime is minimal, typically 3 to 5 days. You will likely experience redness, mild swelling, and a grid-like or "sandpaper" texture on the skin for 48 to 72 hours. Most patients resume normal daily activities within 24–48 hours and can apply makeup after 3 days.
-
At SkinWise Rx, we recommend an initial series of 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Severe acne scarring or deeper skin laxity may require 4 to 5 sessions.
-
Initial textural improvements and skin brightness can appear as early as 1 to 2 weeks post-treatment. However, because structural collagen and elastin synthesis takes time, maximum skin tightening and scar remodeling emerge 3 to 6 months after completing your series.

Choosing an experienced provider who understands the device is key to getting a treatment where unwanted volume loss does not occur. We use lower settings when treating delicate or naturally slender areas like cheeks and temples to prevent issues like volume loss.

How Does Genius RF Microneedling Work?
Genius™ utilizes ultra-fine needles to deliver controlled radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis, the skin's foundational middle layer. This advanced technology safely bypasses the outer layer of skin to aggressively stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin—the essential proteins that provide structure, elasticity, and a firm, youthful appearance to your skin.
What Are the Key Advantages of Genius RF Technology?
Genius™ stands out in regenerative aesthetics by offering several distinct benefits:
Ultimate Customization: Treatment parameters like energy levels, needle depth, and pulse duration can be precisely adjusted in real-time to address your unique anatomical needs and goals.
Minimally Invasive: By targeting only a fraction of the skin's surface and delivering energy below the epidermis, Genius™ ensures minimal downtime compared to traditional laser resurfacing treatments.
Safe for All Skin Tones: Because Genius™ delivers heat directly to the deep dermis, it bypasses the surface pigment-producing cells. This makes it an exceptionally safe and effective option for brown skin, skin of color, and all lighter skin tones alike.
What Should You Expect During the Treatment Process?
Our priority is ensuring a comfortable and customized experience from start to finish:
Consultation: We begin with a consultation with our experienced medical professionals to discuss your goals and determine if Genius™ is the optimal choice for your skin.
Preparation & Treatment: The treatment itself is very well-tolerated. A strong topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure your maximum comfort while the device is methodically passed over the targeted areas.
What Should You Expect for Recovery, Results, and Cost?
Recovery: You may experience some redness and sensitivity immediately following the procedure, but downtime is typically minimal, usually subsiding within just a few days.
Long-Lasting Results: Genius™ delivers structural improvements that last. After completing a recommended series of 3 treatments, patients enjoy profound collagen remodeling with results that often last for at least a year or more.
Cost: Treatments start at $1500 per session.
