Radio Frequency Microneedling
POTENZA
SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES AND CAN BE USED TO ADDRESS SKIN CONCERNS ANYWHERE ON THE BODY
How does Radio Frequency Microneedling work?
Radio Frequency Microneedling with the Potenza can help to address the most common aesthetic concerns because of the added benefit of advanced Radio Frequency Microneedling technology.
Potenza delivers thermal energy to deeper tissue, causing tissue contraction. The energy/heat also triggers the body to produce collagen and elastin, resulting in skin tightening through soft-tissue coagulation.
The Potenza RF microneedling system adds the element of radio frequency energy to the mechanical microneedling procedure. The RF energy is delivered via small needles. In addition to the benefits seen with the micro-injury provided by the microneedles, RF microneedling also delivers RF energy deep into the dermis, further enhancing skin tightening through soft-tissue coagulation. The RF energy heats the underlying layers, causing constriction and tightening of the skin through soft-tissue coagulation, as well as causing the stimulation of collagen and elastin production. Because the RF energy is delivered so deeply, it can produce faster, more dramatic results.
By stimulating your own collagen and elastin synthesis, Potenza helps address common skin concerns such as acne lesions, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, uneven skin tone, tech neck, loss of elasticity
To achieve best results, we recommend 3-4 treatment 2-4 weeks apart.
