Skin remodeling,
powered by precision
RF energy.
Genius® RF combines ultrafine microneedles with real-time impedance sensing to deliver radiofrequency energy at the exact depth your skin needs — stimulating collagen, tightening laxity, and refining texture with gradual, natural-looking improvement. Results and timelines vary by patient. Offered in Encinitas and San Diego as a precise Morpheus8 alternative for skin tightening.
What is Genius® RF microneedling?
Genius® RF microneedling combines fine needles with radiofrequency energy, using real-time impedance sensing to calibrate treatment depth precisely for each area of skin, to remodel collagen and treat fine lines, acne scars, and loose skin. A full-face session runs 60–90 minutes with 3–5 days of downtime, and results build cumulatively over 3–6 months. Pricing starts at $750 for a single full-face treatment, with 3-session packages available from $2,000.
Genius® RF Treats
RF energy delivered where your skin actually needs it.
Impedance-Sensing Needles
Each of the 49 insulated microneedles measures tissue impedance in real time, adjusting energy delivery based on your skin’s actual resistance at that exact depth — not a preset estimate.
Precision Depth Control
Needle depth is calibrated per treatment zone — shallower for delicate areas, deeper for thicker skin — ensuring RF energy reaches the dermis and subdermis where collagen and elastin are produced.
Thermal Coagulation Zones
Controlled heat creates micro-coagulation zones in the deep dermis. The healing response stimulates new collagen synthesis, progressive skin tightening, and pore refinement over 3–6 months.
Cumulative Remodeling
Each session builds on the last. A 3–5 session series can deliver compounding collagen stimulation — many patients see continued improvement for up to 12 months after the final treatment; individual results vary.

What to expect in the treatment room.
Your appointment begins with Liz Lee RN mapping your treatment zones and applying topical anesthetic — typically 30–45 minutes for full numbing. The Genius® RF handpiece is then passed across each zone with real-time energy feedback adjusting for your skin’s response. Expect mild warmth and pressure; most patients tolerate treatment comfortably. Post-treatment skin appears pink and slightly textured for 2–4 days. Liz Lee RN provides a complete aftercare protocol, and a 2-week check-in is included with every session to assess healing and adjust the next treatment plan as needed.
Genius® RF inside a broader skin protocol.
RF microneedling works most effectively as part of a layered skin remodeling approach. Common pairings:
Genius® RF + EBOO
EBOO ozone therapy may help reduce systemic oxidative stress and support tissue repair — creating an optimal internal environment for the skin remodeling process triggered by RF microneedling.
Genius® RF + LED Therapy
Red and near-infrared LED light applied post-treatment may help speed cellular recovery and reduce post-procedure redness, supporting the collagen-remodeling cascade initiated by RF energy.
Genius® RF + Ultra
Lutronic Ultra non-ablative laser addresses surface pigmentation and texture while Genius® RF works in the deeper dermis — together for more comprehensive skin renewal across multiple tissue depths.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Genius® RF sessions do I need?
Most patients see initial improvement after one session, but a series of 3–5 treatments spaced several weeks apart delivers the most noticeable collagen remodeling. Liz Lee, RN builds your specific plan based on your skin and goals, and results continue to develop for up to 12 months after your final session.
Is Genius® RF microneedling painful?
Topical anesthetic is applied before treatment, and most patients tolerate the session comfortably, describing mild warmth and pressure. Numbing typically takes 30–45 minutes to take effect, and the handpiece is passed across each zone with real-time energy feedback.
How much downtime should I expect?
Most patients see pink, slightly textured skin for 2–4 days after treatment. You can typically return to normal activities the same day, though makeup application may need to wait — Liz Lee, RN will walk you through your specific aftercare protocol.
How is Genius® RF different from Morpheus8?
Both are RF microneedling systems, but Genius® RF uses real-time impedance sensing on each of its 49 insulated microneedles to calibrate energy delivery to your skin's actual resistance at that depth, rather than a preset estimate. This allows for more precise, individualized treatment depth across different facial zones.
