How it works
The Potenza RF microneedling system adds radiofrequency energy to the mechanical microneedling procedure, delivered via small needles. In addition to the micro-injury benefits, RF microneedling delivers RF energy deep into the dermis for enhanced skin tightening. The RF energy heats underlying layers, causing constriction/tightening and stimulating collagen and elastin production. Results vary from person to person.
Why RF micro-needling vs. non-RF micro-needling?
Potenza delivers focused RF technology to heat the skin, triggering the body's natural response to increase collagen and elastin production, resulting in enhanced skin revitalization.
What Can I Expect Post Treatment
A smoother, more radiant complexion within a few days, with gradual improvement over several weeks/treatments. Redness, minor swelling and pinpoint bleeding are normal and typically resolve within 3 days. Minor bumps or, rarely, micro-crusting can occur and are readily managed at the clinic.
