RF Microneedling

Potenza™ RF microneedling uses ultrafine needles and radiofrequency heat to penetrate the top layers of the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process and regenerating new collagen and elastin.

What is RF Microneedling?

Potenza’s new RF Microneedling with Tiger Tip™ technology stimulates your body’s collagen and elastin levels to treat advanced signs of aging. Some of the benefits of Potenza™ RF microneedling include: 

  • Stimulating new collagen production for not only tighter, firmer-looking skin, but younger-acting skin
  • Targeting blemishes, discoloration, and uneven texture for a smoother, even-toned, and more radiant complexion
  • Tiger tips simultaneously treat shallow and deep skin concerns
  • Providing faster recovery time than similar treatments
  • Improving the efficiency of topical skincare treatments

The number of passes varies by patient and affects final skin rejuvenation results. Each treatment typically lasts 30 minutes. 

How Does RF Microneedling Work?

The ultrafine needles penetrate two depths to target shallow and deep skin concerns. The controlled skin injury creates micro-channels to trigger the production of the capillaries, elastin, and collagen.

To further enhance the effects of your microneedling treatment, radiofrequency waves travel into the channels to reach deeper layers. After your treatment, your skin becomes thicker, brighter, and smoother.

Is RF Microneedling Painful?

A topical numbing cream is applied 90 minutes prior to your treatment. RF microneedling is not painful and you may only notice a warming sensation.

What are the Effects Immediately After a  RF Microneedling Treatment?

You may resume your daily activities immediately after your session. You may experience mild redness that should resolve within an hour. At Laser Skin Care Center, we recommend only using a gentle cleanser and avoiding makeup until the following day. Your skin will be more sensitive, so sunscreen and avoiding direct sun exposure are also recommended. 

The best time to apply rejuvenating skin care products is immediately after your RF microneedling treatment. The microchannels allow the hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and other skin rejuvenation solutions to reach deeper layers for brighter and more dramatic results. 

For the treatment itself, the elastin and collagen building typically takes 4-6 weeks, with optimal skin rejuvenation results usually seen around 12 weeks after your final treatment. After 12 weeks, you may notice a reduced appearance of wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scars, cellulite, and sagging skin. Some patients also report smaller pores and lessened hyperpigmentation. 

How Many RF Microneedling Treatments Will I Need?

Most patients see optimal results with 3-4 RF microneedling sessions spaced 3-8 weeks apart. After your initial set of treatments, we recommend annual maintenance sessions to provide continual skin rejuvenation.

Am I a Good Candidate for RF Microneedling?

Those who want to reduce early signs of aging with good overall health are good candidates for Potenza™ RF microneedling. The best candidates for RF microneedling have realistic expectations for their skin rejuvenation results.

If you have skin infections or diseases, an active cold sore, a history of keloids, or are pregnant, you may not be a good candidate for Pontenza™ RF microneedling.
