FAQ
Potenza features four different RF modes and enhanced penetration, reaching deep into the skin to trigger natural healing responses. Unlike other RF microneedling treatments, Potenza can be performed on all skin types, anywhere on the body, and at any time of the year. It’s safe for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile solution for skin rejuvenation.
Potenza radiofrequency microneedling is an ideal treatment for anyone who wants to address signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin/skin laxity, acne and acne scars, uneven skin tone and texture, age spots and sun damage, enlarged pores, dull/tired-looking skin, rough/dry skin, crepey skin on face/neck/body, and cellulite.
We apply topical numbing cream before treatment to ensure comfort. During treatment, a handpiece is placed over your skin, and ultrafine needles combined with radiofrequency energy penetrate the skin to stimulate collagen production. You may feel light pressure, and pinpoint bleeding is common but subsides quickly.
Downtime is minimal, with redness, swelling, or tenderness resolving within 2-3 days. Full skin recovery may take up to 5 days. You can resume normal activities immediately, but must protect your skin during healing with proper sun protection and gentle skincare.
You can wear makeup and shower on the day of treatment. Gentle cleansing with fingertips is fine, but avoid washcloths or devices for 3-5 days. Do not rub, pick, or wipe the treatment area. Apply mineral-based sunscreen with zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide daily.
Benefits include comprehensive rejuvenation addressing multiple skin concerns, personalized treatments customized to your needs, minimal downtime with faster healing, safety for all skin types and body areas, and the ability to combine with other treatments for enhanced results. It’s milder than other resurfacing procedures while delivering effective results.
The number of sessions depends on the severity of your skin concerns and the size of the treatment area. Most patients require multiple sessions for the best results. During your consultation, our dermatologists will assess your skin and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals.
