The Lutronic Genius is a radiofrequency (RF) microneedling device that can treat a variety of skin concerns. It uses gold-plated needles to deliver RF energy into the skin, which stimulates the body’s production of collagen and elastin. This can help improve skin quality, tone, and texture, and can also be used to lift tissues as an alternative to a facelift.
The Genius can be used on almost any part of the body, including the face, neck, underarms, arms, abdomen, thighs, and knees. It can treat a range of skin concerns, including:
- Wrinkles and lines
- Uneven or crepey texture
- Sun damage
- Sagging
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Stretch marks
- Poor jawline definition
- Neck aging
- Skin laxity and loose skin
The Genius has a number of features that help it treat a range of variables, including age, skin type, sun exposure habits, anatomical area, and tissue thickness and depth. These include:
- Coagulation: Precise control over coagulation
- Tissue intelligence: Proprietary Tissue Intelligence
- Real-time energy delivery feedback system: Enables accurate energy delivery regardless of skin resistance
- Quiet motor
- Ergonomically friendly handpiece
- Sensing and feedback algorithms
Treatments typically last between 15 minutes and an hour, depending on the area being treated. Patients may experience some pressure and heating during treatment, but this is usually well-tolerated with topical anesthetics. Pinkness and swelling may also appear after the procedure, but this typically subsides after 24 to 36 hours.
