How is RF microneedling different from standard microneedling?

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.

RF Microneedling

What this treats

Skin scarring, including acne scars
Firmer, more toned skin
Reduction in dark spots
Control of large pores
Reduction in wrinkles

How it works

RF energy is delivered through small needles into the dermis, heating the underlying layers to stimulate collagen and elastin production and support skin tightening. Treatments are not limited to the face and may help with skin laxity after weight loss. Results vary.

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 agent removes most of the discomfort. Most patients say they can feel the needles working but do not find it 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.

Downtime

Downtime is usually minimal. Redness, minor swelling and pinpoint bleeding can occur and typically settle within three days. Minor bumps or, rarely, micro-crusting can also occur. Contact the clinic if you have concerns about your recovery.

When you'll see results

Some changes may be noticeable soon after treatment, with gradual improvement over several weeks and treatments. More than one session is usually recommended.

Suggested course

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

Safety & contraindications

Pregnant or breastfeeding
Active skin lesions or active acne
Open wounds in or around the treatment area
