Before and after examples
What is POTENZA?
The expected benefits of POTENZA include:
- Stimulation of collagen production
- Improves skin firmness and tightness
- Reduces the appearance of imperfections
- Improved skin tone and luminosity
- Tone enhancement for natural radiance
- Improved texture for a smoother appearance
How does POTENZA work?
Radiofrequency microneedling treatment with Potenza uses ultra-fine needles and heat to penetrate the top layer of skin and trigger the body’s natural healing process to regenerate new collagen and build elastin. Elastin and collagen building generally takes place 12-24 weeks after treatment, with optimal results generally observed 12-24 weeks after the last treatment.
Is this treatment right for you?
Radiofrequency microneedling with Potenza can treat a wide variety of skin problems on the face and body. Unlike other skin revitalization treatments, Potenza is suitable for all skin types, on any part of the body, at any time of year.
When can I see results?
Elastin and collagen building generally takes place 12-24 weeks after treatment, with optimal results generally observed 12-24 weeks after the last treatment . The number of passes and skin penetration will have an impact on the results obtained.
How long does the treatment last?
Treatment times will vary depending on the patient, the area of the body treated, the depth of penetration and the number of passes, but most Potenza treatments are completed in 30 minutes.
What does radiofrequency mean?
Potenza uses targeted radiofrequency (RF) technology to heat your dermis, painlessly under your skin. Using RF technology at this level of the dermis will trigger your body’s natural response to create an increased level of collagen and elastin production, resulting in improved skin revitalization compared to microneedling alone.
How many treatment sessions do you need?
According to recent studies, the best results are obtained after 3 sessions. Many patients choose to have regular treatments as part of their overall skin care program. Your skin care provider will discuss a personalized treatment plan with you. Once the improvement has been achieved, it is designed to last for several years. Maintenance treatments once or twice a year can then be proposed.
Is it painful?
Radiofrequency is painless, but the switch may cause an unpleasant sensation.
We apply a topical numbing anesthetic to your skin before the procedure to make it comfortable. During your Potenza session, your caregiver will be able to customize the intensity of energy applied and the depth of needling to ensure your treatment is comfortable.
Downtime or recovery time
Since Potenza is a gentle, non-ablative treatment, recovery time is generally minimal. Most people experience redness and swelling for 6 to 24 hours.
