Potenza Radiofrequency Microneedling in Portland OR | Skin Rejuvenation & Tightening

Potenza is an FDA approved radiofrequency (RF) microneedling to treat both the face and body. Potenza is the first to have hybrid tip which provides 3D fractional energy delivery. It’s unique design and ultrafine needles has several advantages that provides features and performance that other topical or filler products cannot do.

Potenza works by stimulating your body’s collagen and elastin levels to treat advanced signs of aging. It does not only tightens existing collagen beneath the surface of the skin, but it generates new collagen and elastin which amazingly transforms your skin to a firmer, younger, and brighter look.

Potenza is very effective in addressing the problem areas such as:

• Tighten loose skin in the face, neck, and chest
• Improves lower cheeks wrinkles and crepiness
• Tighten and firm loose skin around the eyes
• improve the appearance of fine lines and crow's feet
• Improved your smile and parenthesis lines
• Target blemishes for smoother, more radiant skin
• Decrease appearance of pores
• Treat scars resulting from acne, trauma, or surgery
• Reduces double chin
• Treats hyperpigmentation

The ultrafine Tiger-Tip®* needles and focused radiofrequency energy penetrate the skin deep to the reticular dermis to stimulate collagen and rejuvenate the skin. Studies have shown that radiofrequency delivered deep into the dermis through fine needles can improve the appearance of wrinkly skin, decrease the appearance of pores, and tighten the skin. Potenza’s unique needles deliver precise fractionated energy in fewer passes. It has 9 different tips for different skin problems and skin types.

A feature that Potenza can provide is with its needles that can deliver platelet rich plasma, or synthetic growth factor deep to the skin, which will result in enhanced outcomes.

*Tiger-Tip needles eliminate the clinician’s need to re-trace their steps, by providing them with the technology to perform both shallow and deep treatments at the same time, and tailor those treatments to individual skin types. This will provide faster, customizable, and less painful treatment.

For reference, imagine your collagen and elastin to be the web of tissue that provides your skin with its structure. Overtime, this base begins to stretch, wear, and thin out, which negatively impacts the elasticity, structure, and appearance of the skin. Potenza works to reverse that degradation and helps to rebuild that web. Pictures below for reference

In our professional opinion, absolutely! The results produced for the focused radiofrequency energy generates outstanding results, especially when compared with standard microneedling techniques.

Elastin and collagen building typically takes place 4-6 weeks after treatment. Optimal results are usually seen at 12 weeks after the last treatment.

Depends on the targeted problem. Optimally, the skin needs a series of three treatment spaced four weeks apart. Your first treatment will trigger the collagen production. The second treatment will boost the production, and third treatment will continue that production. Booster treatments help to continue the production and revitalization of collagen production and healthy skin

Plan for 1-2 hours in the office, we will apply a strong numbing cream for 30-45 minutes prior to treatment. Thereafter, the treatment will be comfortable. You will feel pricking sensation and some warmth. The time of the actual treatment depends on the size of area, body part, problem of concern, number of passes, and penetration depth. After the treatment, we will apply a growth factor/TNS which will penetrate deep into the skin for better enhancing results, followed by hydrating anti-aging mask for cooling and relaxation.

Potenza RF-Microneedling is not like traditional lasers which require 5-14 days of downtime. Potenza has the fastest healing time of its kind. Some grid marks, mild swelling and redness is common and will subside within 24-72 hours depending on the depth of the treatment and the severity of the area treated. You can return to work within one to two days of treatment. For your safety, it is best practice to avoid sun exposure and wear sun block. You may use your daily routine skin care products after 5-7 days.
