POTENZA RF Microneedling treatment

The Redefine MD experience

The adaptability of this system enables tailored treatments to suit individual requirements. It caters to all skin types and body areas throughout the year. Treatment duration varies based on patient comfort and the specific treatment area. Patients find the treatment tolerable; prior to the session, all patients receive numbing to mitigate any discomfort. A personalized Potenza treatment typically spans 30 to 60 minutes. After the treatment, post-procedure masks are applied right away. They help reduce inflammation and discomfort. They also promote skin healing, resulting in minimal downtime. While noticeable improvements manifest after each session, optimal results typically stem from a series of treatments.

FAQs

What is a microneedling treatment?

Micro-needling is a procedure that uses small sterile needles to penetrate the skin. It stimulates the body’s natural wound healing process. Potenza distinguishes itself from conventional micro-needling techniques by integrating ultrafine needles with radio frequency energy during a single session. This synergistic approach addresses both superficial skin issues and facilitates deep tissue restructuring. Although it is a non-invasive procedure with minimal downtime, it effectively stimulates controlled skin damage. It prompts the synthesis of fresh collagen and fortifies elastin fibers in the skin.

How does a Potenza RF Microneedling treatment work?

The Potenza RF Micro-needling treatment uses ultrafine needles and radio frequency energy. These elements penetrate the top layer of the skin. They trigger the body’s natural healing process to regenerate new collagen and elastin. It is a treatment that is safe for all skin types and be performed anywhere on the body. It can improve texture and laxity. It can also target blemishes and active acne. It destroys the bacteria and reduces the risk of scarring. In addition to the indications it can treat, it can also push topicals beyond the surface. The innovative fusion tip enhances product penetration and maximizes results.

Is this treatment right for me?

The Potenza RF micro-needling treatment is versatile, effectively addressing a range of skin issues on both the face and body. It can be used on all skin types, anywhere on the body, at any time of the year.

When will I see results?

Collagen and elastin production typically commence 4-6 weeks post-treatment. The best results are often noticeable between 3 to 6 months after the final session. The outcome can be influenced by the number of passes and skin penetration. It is common for patients to undergo a series of treatments to address their specific concerns.

How long is the treatment?

Treatment times will vary. They depend on skin health and medical conditions. Factors also include the area of the body being treated, penetration depth, number of passes, and comfort. A topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment for about 45-60 minutes. Most Potenza treatments are performed within 1 hour. Post-procedure masks typically take 30-45 minutes depending on patient needs.

What is Tiger Tip technology?

Potenza’s Tiger Tip needle technology removes the need for technicians to backtrack. It allows them to carry out shallow and deep treatments at the same time. This technology also enables customization of treatments based on individual skin types, resulting in quicker and more personalized treatment sessions.

Why RF microneedling vs. non-RF microneedling?

Traditional non-radio frequency micro-needling causes controlled mechanical injuries to the skin at a superficial level. It relies on the body’s natural healing process to boost collagen and elastin production. This method allows only for superficial penetration, not deep dermal penetration. Infusion with traditional micro-needling does not drive topicals deep in the skin. The topicals are applied and massaged into the skin.

In contrast, RF microneedling combines mechanical skin injury with Radio Frequency needles. It enables treatment of surface imperfections and stimulates deep dermal collagen and elastin. This combination provides texture improvements and tightens the skin. Infusion with Potenza RF microneedling is the only device explicitly designed to drive 67% more topicals into the dermis. It addresses both surface and deep tissue concerns.

What to expect after my Potenza RF microneedling treatment?

The feeling after a potenza treatment is often likened to a mild sunburn sensation. After the potenza treatment, hydro-jelly masks are applied to cool and hydrate the skin. They aim to minimize redness, swelling, and any discomfort. Skin healing creams and SPF are then used to moisturize the skin. These products shield the skin. This enables patients to resume their daily routines.

How do I care for my skin after the treatment?

After undergoing the Potenza RF Micro-needling procedure, our medical professionals will give you personalized guidance. They will explain the necessary steps to follow. You must follow these instructions carefully. They will be customized based on your skin type and specific concerns.

Sunscreen Daily

After Potenza RF microneedling, apply sunscreen regularly. This protects your skin from the sun, especially on the treated area, during the first two weeks. Establish a habit of applying sunscreen whenever you are outdoors. Your skin will be more sensitive to sun exposure in the first week post-microneedling. It is advisable to minimize prolonged sun exposure.

Use Cleansers And Moisturizers

In the two to three days following your Potenza RF microneedling treatment, use calming and hydrating cleanser. Moisturizers will also help to reduce side effects. Avoid cleansers with exfoliating properties or alcohol that cause dryness.

What to avoid after the treatment?

Avoid Infection Whenever Possible

To prevent infection, be sure to wash your hands exhaustively before touching your face. Within the first twenty-four hours after receiving Potenza RF microneedling, you should avoid applying makeup.

In addition, if you want to keep your skin in good condition, you should avoid swimming pools and saunas. Steer clear of other environments that cause you to sweat heavily. This includes strenuous workouts at the gym. You can resume after 72 hours have passed.

Avoid Retinols, Exfoliants, And Other Vitamin C Products

Steer clear of any products containing strong chemicals designed to exfoliate. You should steer clear of anything that has a scent, as well as glycolic acid and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs).

After having Potenza RF microneedling done, you should wait at least 3 days. Only after this period should you apply retinol or vitamin C serum to the treated area.

You will find that after two full days your skin will improve. The best course of action is not to resume your regular beauty routine immediately. Instead, ease into it gradually by reintroducing individual products, unless otherwise directed.

Things to keep in mind, as every patient is different recovery is not always the same.

  • Your face could take up to 5-14 days to fully heal
  • Your neck could take up to 4-6 weeks to fully heal
  • Your body could take 4-12 weeks to fully heal
How do I maximize my results?

The Potenza Microneedling’s versatility enables personalized customization for every treatment session. By incorporating dermal infusion, you can enhance collagen, hydration, or volume during your session. Additionally, this treatment can be safely combined with various laser technologies to address multiple concerns in a single session.

What are the side effects?

Potenza RF microneedling is typically regarded as having a low risk to patients. Sometimes the symptoms of the side effects will worsen to the point where they require medical attention.

The following are examples of symptoms to watch out for:

  • fever
  • nausea, itching, and yellow or green discharge
  • bleeding
  • headache

Microneedling can cause infections. However, this complication typically arises from using instruments that have not been adequately sterilized on the skin. It’s also possible to have an allergic reaction to the needles used for microneedling.

If you have any of these symptoms, contact a doctor immediately.
