Potenza RF Microneedling combines ultra-fine microneedles with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin at multiple depths within the skin. This dual-action treatment can improve skin laxity, fine lines, enlarged pores, acne, acne scarring and uneven texture across the face and body. Each treatment is personalised with adjustable needle depth and energy intensity.
What makes this advanced RF microneedling treatment so versatile is its ability to be precisely tailored to the individual. Unlike traditional microneedling, which relies solely on physical micro-injury, Potenza harnesses the power of radiofrequency energy to deliver controlled heat deep into the skin, triggering a more robust collagen and elastin response. At 111 Harley St., we integrate this sophisticated skin rejuvenation treatment into our premium, surgeon-led approach to skin health, ensuring every protocol is designed around your specific concerns.
Whether you are looking to tighten lax skin on the face or body, improve the appearance of acne scarring, or refine enlarged pores, our expert practitioners will create a fully personalised plan tailored to your skin’s needs. By addressing skin concerns at multiple depths, we help you achieve a firmer, smoother, and more refined complexion that looks naturally rejuvenated.
Ultra-fine microneedles enter the skin at carefully controlled depths, creating microscopic treatment channels that activate the body’s natural repair response and stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin. Once positioned, radiofrequency energy is delivered directly into the selected skin layer, stimulating contraction and remodelling.
Because the energy is delivered beneath the surface, Potenza addresses deeper skin concerns without relying solely on surface resurfacing. Monopolar and bipolar RF modes, combined with multiple handpiece configurations, allow the treatment to be personalised for superficial texture, deeper scars, skin laxity and body concerns.
Potenza also features the specialised CP-25 Fusion Tip, which uses a unique pumping action to help drive topical products, such as ASCE+ Exosomes, into the microchannels created during treatment. This allows the exosome formulation to be delivered more effectively into the treated skin, supporting recovery, regeneration and overall skin quality.
The dual-action mechanism of this radiofrequency microneedling treatment is what delivers such comprehensive results. The ultra-fine needles create precise microchannels in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing cascade and stimulating fibroblasts—the cells responsible for collagen and elastin production. Simultaneously, the radiofrequency energy is delivered directly into the dermis, causing immediate collagen contraction and initiating a longer-term remodelling process. This means that you experience both an instant tightening effect and progressive improvement in skin texture and firmness over the following weeks and months.
Topical anaesthetic is applied for 45 minutes to ensure comfort throughout the treatment. The Potenza handpiece is then passed across the treatment area, creating controlled microchannels while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy at carefully selected depths. Two passes are generally performed to achieve comprehensive treatment. The procedure itself takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes, with additional time allowed for preparation and numbing.
Microneedles trigger the skin’s natural healing response while radiofrequency energy heats the targeted tissue to encourage collagen contraction and remodelling. Together these improve firmness, texture and skin quality. Adjustable depth and energy settings allow different skin layers and concerns to be addressed in a single session.
Potenza can improve fine lines, enlarged pores, skin laxity, uneven texture, acne, acne scars, selected scars, stretch marks and dull or lax skin. It can be used on the face, neck, jawline, décolleté, abdomen, arms, thighs and knees.
Potenza suits adults seeking improvement in skin firmness, texture, acne or scarring. It can be adapted for most skin tones. Patients who are pregnant, have active infection, certain implanted devices, impaired healing or other contraindications may not be suitable. A full consultation is required.
Some early radiance and textural improvement may be visible once initial redness settles. Collagen-related improvements generally become more noticeable after 4-6 weeks and continue to develop over the following months.
Yes. Redness, swelling, warmth and sensitivity are common immediately after treatment and settle over next two days. Treatment should be scheduled at least one week before an important event.
The recommended number depends on your concern, skin condition and treatment intensity. A course of treatments is usually advised for acne scarring, laxity or stretch marks. A personalised course and maintenance schedule will be agreed during consultation.
