What to Expect

What to Expect from Your Potenza Treatment

Before your session, topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment areas. A handpiece is placed over the skin and ultrafine needles and radiofrequency energy penetrate the skin to stimulate new collagen production. The number of passes varies depending on the severity of the skin concern and the size of the treatment area.

Patients may feel light pressure during treatment. Pinpoint bleeding is also common but will subside before you leave our office.

Treatment times vary between patients and the number and size of treatment areas, but most Potenza treatments are typically performed within one hour. Multiple treatment sessions are recommended for optimal results.

Recovery After Potenza RF Microneedling

Downtime tends to be minimal and tolerable. You may experience redness, swelling, or tenderness, which typically resolves within 2-3 days. Full skin recovery may take up to 5 days.

You may immediately return to your normal activities after treatment, but you must protect your skin as it heals. Always wear sunscreen and follow your dermatologist’s aftercare instructions to avoid complications and ensure the best possible results.

Potenza Radiofrequency Microneedling Results

Collagen remodeling typically takes place 4-6 weeks after treatment, with optimal results seen between 2-6 months after the last treatment.
