Potenza is an FDA-cleared radiofrequency microneedling treatment for the face and body. A trained provider uses the handheld Potenza device, which has ultrafine needles and radiofrequency energy, to penetrate the skin’s outermost layers—triggering the skin’s natural repair process and boosting the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep skin smooth, supple, and healthy.
This regenerative response helps treat a variety of skin concerns, including signs of aging and sun damage like fine lines, wrinkles, and blemishes. It can also make skin look firmer.
Broadly speaking, microneedling treatments (also known as collagen-induction therapy) use tiny needles to create thousands of microscopic punctures in the epidermis. Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling procedures like Potenza combine the benefits of these micro injuries with RF energy to penetrate deeper layers of skin and create more dramatic results. Microneedling also creates channels in the skin, for topical products to penetrate more deeply.Â
According to the manufacturer, Potenza treatments can be performed on all skin types and tones, on any area of the body.
