Revive Your Skin. Redefine Your Confidence.
Providers often choose Genius® RF microneedling because it’s proven to be among the most effective nonsurgical energy-based treatments for the improvement of the skin’s firmness, quality, texture, and more. RF microneedling combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with the controlled precision of microneedling to stimulate the body’s production of natural collagen, which leads to smoother, younger, and brighter-looking skin.

What Is Genius® RF Microneedling?
Genius® RF microneedling uses ultrafine insulated needles to deliver radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin. The device creates microchannels while gently heating the dermis, encouraging new collagen and elastin formation. Each pulse is measured and adjusted in real time, allowing the dermatologists at Park Ave. Derm to tailor treatment depth and energy delivery based on your specific cosmetic concerns.
This technology is appropriate for both the face and body, allowing targeted improvement in areas prone to laxity, scarring, or uneven texture.
How Genius® RF Microneedling Works
Genius® combines mechanical microneedling with radiofrequency heat delivered into the dermis. As the needles enter the skin, radiofrequency energy is released through each tip, creating a controlled thermal response. This stimulates the body’s natural repair process and promotes new collagen formation over the following months.
At Park Ave. Derm, the device settings are customized for each area treated. For example, acne-scarred regions often require deeper needle penetration, while areas with loose skin may benefit from specific heating patterns adjusted by the dermatologists.
Good Candidates for Genius® RF Microneedling
RF microneedling is appropriate for patients who have visible texture or firmness concerns that can be improved with collagen remodeling.
Candidates often have one or more of the following:
- Clinical evidence of cosmetic concerns such as uneven texture or enlarged pores
- Depressed acne scarring
- Mild to moderate skin laxity on the face or body
- Fine lines on the neck, chest, or lower face
- Early changes in skin quality related to aging or sun exposure
During your evaluation, the dermatologists at Park Ave. Derm will determine whether RF microneedling is the most effective option or if your goals may be better addressed through a combination approach.
What Happens During a Genius® RF Microneedling Session
Treatment begins with cleansing the skin and applying a topical anesthetic. After adequate numbing, the device is placed onto the treatment area in measured passes. Each pulse delivers energy to a controlled depth determined by your dermatologist.
Most patients describe a brief heat sensation during each pulse. Sessions typically take 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated.
RF Microneedling Benefits
Patients undergo Genius® RF microneedling to address visible skin quality concerns with minimal interruption to daily activities.
Benefits include:
- Improvement in fine lines and surface irregularities
- Smoother and more supported skin
- Greater collagen density over time
- Reduction in acne scarring

Genius® provides deeper remodeling than standard microneedling because of its controlled thermal energy, making it suitable for complex texture concerns.
RF Microneedling Recovery
Most patients experience temporary redness, swelling, and mild pinpoint marks for one to three days. Makeup can usually be applied after 24 hours. Your provider will give you instructions regarding moisturizers, sun avoidance, and when to resume active skincare ingredients.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results appear gradually over several weeks as new collagen forms. Full improvement is often visible after three to four months, with continued collagen production over time. Maintenance varies based on your skincare regimen and sun-avoidance practices.
