How Long Is The Treatment?

Treatment times will vary depending on the patient, the area of the body being treated, the penetration depth, and the number of passes, but most Potenza treatments are performed within one hour.

Is RF Microneedling Painful?

We apply a topical numbing anesthetic to your skin prior to the procedure to make it comfortable. Most people experience a mild amount of pain during the procedure. One of the great aspects of Potenza is that if more comfort is needed, the intensity of the energy applied can be decreased to ensure the treatment is comfortable.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

The number of treatments is tailored to your concerns and skincare desires. In recent studies, consumers reported visible improvements after four to six treatments, though many patients choose to have routine treatments as part of their overall skin care regimen. Your skin care provider will discuss a personalized treatment regimen with you.

How Long Until I See Results?

The building of elastin and collagen typically takes place 12-24 weeks after treatment, with optimal results usually seen 12-24 weeks after the last treatment. The number of passes and penetration into the skin will affect the results seen.

Why RF Microneedling vs. Non-RF Microneedling?

Potenza delivers focused radiofrequency (RF) technology to heat your skin. Using RF technology will trigger your body’s natural response to increase collagen and elastin production, resulting in an enhanced skin revitalization treatment versus microneedling alone.

Can I Combine RF Microneedling With Other Procedures?

Yes, Potenza® RF microneedling can be paired with other non-surgical treatments to enhance your results. Popular options include: Chemical peels for added exfoliation Botox to smooth dynamic wrinkles Dermal fillers for volume restoration Laser treatments to target pigmentation During your consultation, our team will evaluate your skin and suggest a customized combination to meet your goals effectively.

What Are the Risks Associated With RF Microneedling?

RF microneedling does have some risks and potential side effects to be aware of: Redness and swelling: Mild redness or swelling in the treated area is common and typically subsides within a few hours to a day. Bruising: Some individuals may experience light bruising, especially if the treatment is more aggressive, but this usually resolves within a few days. Skin irritation: Following the treatment, the skin may feel slightly irritated or sensitive, but this usually improves quickly. Pigmentation changes: Although rare, there is a risk of temporary hyperpigmentation (dark spots) or hypopigmentation (light spots) if aftercare instructions are not followed properly. Infection: As with any procedure involving tiny needles, there is a very small risk of infection if post-treatment care is not adhered to. To minimize these risks, following Dr. Pirani’s aftercare instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure and using sunscreen to protect the treated area, is important.

What to Expect on the Day of RF Microneedling Treatment

During your Potenza® RF microneedling session, our team uses a device that pairs ultrafine needles with radiofrequency energy. As it glides over the treatment area, the needles create tiny microchannels in the skin while the RF energy heats deeper layers to boost collagen and elastin production. This dual action triggers your skin’s natural healing process, promoting renewal and firmness, with minimal downtime following the procedure.

Since Potenza is a gentle, non-ablative treatment, minimal downtime is usually necessary. Most people experience some redness and swelling for 24-48 hours.
