Potenza RF Microneedling at Blue Diamond Medical
Blue Diamond Medical Aesthetics uses the Potenza system by Cynosure for RF microneedling in Calgary, at 23-8 Weston Drive SW in West Springs, Southwest Calgary. It is used for scar treatment (including acne scars), wrinkle reduction, skin rejuvenation and skin tightening. Every treatment starts with a 20-minute consultation with a physician. To book, call the aesthetics line at (403) 247-1418.
How it works
Potenza combines microneedling — fine needles creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin — with radiofrequency energy delivered through those same needles, adding a tightening effect to the skin's natural response to micro-injury.
What it may address
Skin tightening and smoothing across the body, including fine lines or laxity following rapid weight loss or after childbirth.
What the appointment involves
A topical anaesthetic is applied first and can take up to 45 minutes to become fully effective; the treatment itself typically takes around 30 minutes. Three- and five-session packages are recommended, and your own plan is set at your consultation.
Safety and suitability
RF microneedling is not suitable for everyone — for example during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or where there is active acne, an open wound or an infection in the treatment area. The complete list is in the Safety Concerns section of the RF Microneedling page, and your physician reviews your medical history at the consultation.
