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.

Treatment packages are put together around each patient's needs. Contact the clinic and our team will discuss a treatment plan and package pricing with you.

Comfort level

A topical numbing cream is applied to help reduce discomfort. Most patients describe feeling the needles working but say it is not painful. A member of the clinical team stays with you throughout, and treatment can be stopped at any point.

Duration

Typically around 30 minutes. A topical anaesthetic is applied and can take up to 45 minutes to become fully effective.

Aftercare

Avoid strenuous exercise and sun exposure for 48 hours after treatment. Follow your clinician's instructions about sunscreen and other skin care products before resuming your usual routine.

Suggested course

Three- and five-session packages are recommended to build and maintain firmer, refreshed-looking skin.
