Welcome to Amara Med Spa, in this inaugural blog, we will be discussing Potenza® radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatments. The groundbreaking technology of the platform offers a non-surgical solution to address the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, as well as skin laxity and volume loss. To help you understand how Potenza is redefining the standard of aesthetic treatments, we have compiled the following FAQ guide.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling procedures use tiny needles to create micro-punctures in the top layer of skin, the process triggers the body’s natural healing mechanisms to increase collagen production and elastin growth—two key proteins that support healthy skin renewal and are responsible for the skin’s elasticity and firmness.
How Is Potenza Microneedling Better?
The Potenza platform is equipped with advanced needle applicators that further increase collagen and elastin growth by simultaneously delivering radiofrequency (RF) energy that is absorbed into skin layers. The level of RF energy can be increased or decreased as it is delivered by insulated needles that can be adjusted for depth and direction. This innovative combination allows for precise targeting of a wide range of skin issues while improving overall skin health and appearance.
What Skin Types Are Compatible with Potenza Microneedling?
Potenza microneedling is designed to accommodate a wide range of skin types across light to dark color tones. The high degree of customization among the device settings and treatment applicators makes it one of the most inclusive aesthetic procedures available.
Do Potenza Treatments Reduce Acne Breakouts?
Potenza can help prevent the formation of new acne lesions by promoting a healthier skin environment. Treatment reduces inflammation and improves blood circulation for optimal delivery of healing nutrients and oxygen to the treated area.
What Are the Skin Rejuvenation Benefits of Potenza Treatments?
The Potenza microneedling platform enables providers to craft bespoke skin rejuvenation treatments that offer the following benefits:
- Improved Skin Texture and Tone – Potenza treatments can significantly improve the overall texture and tone of your skin, leaving you with a smoother, more even complexion.
- Reduction of Wrinkles and Fine Lines – By boosting collagen production, Potenza helps to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, offering a more youthful appearance.
- Acne Scar Treatment – Potenza is effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars. Collagen remodeling levels pitted acne scars and works to repair skin structure below the surface from previous acne breakouts.
- Improve Volume Loss and Skin Laxity – The thermal energy from RF heats the deeper layers of the skin, improving skin texture and tightness and contributing to the restoration of lost volume.
What Is Recovery Like Following Potenza?
Recovery after Potenza does not require downtime, patients are advised to avoid excessive heat exposure and strenuous activity for a day or two to help minimize swelling and irritation. Post-treatment conditions may include flaking skin and redness and can vary from person to person, depending on the specific treatment parameters used. It is essential to properly protect the new skin from sun exposure and diligently follow all skincare instructions.
