RF Micro-Needling
with POTENZA®
What is RF Micro-Needling?
Potenza® Micro-needling is a cosmetic treatment that combines traditional micro-needling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This advanced procedure is designed to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness by stimulating the body's natural healing processes.
How does it work?
-
Micro-needling: Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production as the skin repairs itself.
-
Radio frequency (RF) Energy: RF energy is delivered through the needles to the deeper layers of the skin. This enhances the micro-needling effects by heating the tissues, leading to further collagen remodeling and tightening of the skin.
Benefits
-
Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation.
-
Tightens Skin: The RF energy promotes skin tightening, making the skin appear firmer and more youthful.
-
Minimal Downtime: While some redness and swelling may occur, recovery time is generally short compared to more invasive procedures.
-
Customizable: The depth of the needles and the intensity of the RF energy can be adjusted based on individual skin concerns and treatment areas.
Side Effects and Considerations
-
Temporary Redness and Swelling: Common side effects usually subside within a few days.
-
Possible Bruising and Discomfort: Mild bruising or discomfort can occur but is typically manageable.
-
Multiple Sessions: Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on the skin condition and desired results.
Five key aftercare tips to follow after procedure:
-
Gentle Cleansing and Moisturizing: After the treatment, your skin will be sensitive. Use a gentle cleanser to wash your face with lukewarm water. Avoid hot water, and apply a mild, hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin well-hydrated.
-
Sun Protection: Your skin will be very sensitive to the sun post-treatment. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, even if you’re indoors. Additionally, avoid direct sun exposure and use protective clothing like hats and sunglasses when outside.
-
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stay away from skincare products containing strong chemicals, such as exfoliants, alcohol-based products, AHA, BHA, and retinoids. These can irritate your skin further and hinder the healing process.
-
Stay Hydrated: Keeping your body hydrated is essential for skin recovery. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to ensure your skin stays hydrated from within. Hydrating beverages like herbal teas can also be beneficial.
-
Avoid Skin Irritation: Do not rub, scratch, or pick at your skin. This can cause irritation and potential scarring. Additionally, avoid strenuous exercise and activities that cause excessive sweating, such as saunas or steam rooms, as sweat can irritate the treated skin.
