Genius® Radiofrequency Microneedling in Zurich

Intelligent radiofrequency is a combination of powerful needling with 49 fine needles, allowing us to reach different skin layers and create micro-injuries. The radiofrequency is mainly delivered to the middle skin layer with precise dosing. In comparison, conventional radiofrequency devices work on the upper layers. Therefore, RF needling is much more effective. At the same time, the skin surface is hardly strained. Intelligent radiofrequency with microneedling is suitable for smoothing and tightening the skin on the face and body.

On the so-called Dermapen, there are 49 fine gold-plated needles that are inserted into the skin at the push of a button. These impulses last only a few seconds and are almost painless. Simultaneously, a heat impulse is generated. The resistance in the tissue is measured via the needles – the energy output is then adjusted to this individual resistance.

The treatment goal: Improving porosity, pigmentation, skin tightening, and rejuvenation. At Swiss Derma Clinic, we combine Genius® radiofrequency with innovative exosome active treatments if needed.

The treatment is suitable for patients who want a minimally invasive method for skin rejuvenation – without long downtime and with manageable risks. If you are interested in the treatment, you should first book a consultation at a qualified practice. At Swiss Derma Clinic in Zurich, we provide detailed information about the treatment, possible supplements, and alternatives. You will receive a thorough assessment of the results you can expect from radiofrequency microneedling.

Generally, the treatment is well-tolerated. The impulses are often described as a slight tingling or warming sensation. If desired, we can apply a light numbing cream before the treatment.

The fine needles deliver heat directly into the dermis, where the eccrine sweat glands are located. Heating the tissue to between 67 and 69 degrees Celsius leads to a permanent failure (denaturation) of the glands. The surrounding skin is not damaged by the treatment. No scars form, and the healing phase is faster than with conventional methods. Genius is suitable for sensitive areas such as the underarms, soles of the feet and palms.

Typically, one to three sessions are performed at intervals of seven to eight weeks. Many of our patients notice a significant improvement after the very first treatment. The fine-tuning parameters – needle depth, heat exposure and number of sessions – are determined individually, depending on the severity of the symptoms and the area being treated, as part of your consultation at Swiss Derma Clinic in Zurich.
