Potenza RF Microneedling

The micro needling tip is placed on the epidermis where the microneedles penetrate the tissue at different depths for optimal results. Once the needles have entered the skin, they will simultaneously emit radiofrequency waves deep into the desired treatment area. Once the collagen has been stimulated it will begin generating new youth-enhancing cells post-treatment, so you can reap the benefits of it long after your first session is over.

Typically results can be seen immediately after, but the building of collagen and elastin can be expected to be seen anywhere between 4-6 weeks after treatment, with results lasting up to 18 weeks.

It’s amazing after-effects make it the ultimate skin rejuvenating treatment that can be used to help you get event-ready or as a regular treatment to maintain optimal skin health.

This usually depends on the patient, the concern you wish to target and location. Typically, a Potenza micro needling treatment lasts for around 45 minutes-1 hours.

One of the biggest benefits of non-surgical skin rejuvenation is that it’s minimally invasive. Each Potenza treatment requires no time off work; however, you can expect a little swelling, redness, and other visible signs due to the nature of micro needling. So, when booking, be to schedule any big events a week after your first treatment as typically most visible signs of treatment with diminish by then. You can expect in 5-7 days recovery if you have a high intensity treatment and less for a lighter treatment.

During your consultation you’ll find out everything you need to know and whether you’ll benefit more from a more intense treatment.

We always recommend a course of treatments as this will illicit the best results, often this is 5-8 treatments, however the number of treatments is completely up to you. Our Aestheticians will be able to advise and recommend you if you are unsure.

As each Potenza treatment is bespoke, no treatment is the same so it will mainly depend on your unique skin type.

Due to the innovative technology and massive advancements in microneedling, Potenza is much less painful that in previous years. And, before the treatment we will apply topical numbing cream for around 45 minutes – 1 hour to ensure any discomfort experienced in minimal.

Our Aestheticians are also highly trained to administer the treatment in a seamless way to further minimise pain. We also have distracting techniques to help alleviate any discomfort: our patients can squeeze a stress ball or use our massaging T bar to help take your mind off the treatment.

One of the great things about RF Microneedling is you’ll see it work immediately afterwards, many patients report that their skin looks glowing for the days after (this is after the initial redness from the treatment has gone).

To see the more long term effects of RF Microneedling, new collagen is grown around four-six weeks after, but you’ll begin to see an improvement in skin quality, tone and texture after the first session.

Potenza cannot be performed directly on the eyelids, however, it can treat the brow bone – so just above the eyelids. If you’re looking for another treatment to tighten the eyelids, our Thermage Eye treatment is worth looking at.

Additionally, if you want to tighten skin around the eyes, a surgical Blepharoplasty avenue could also be explored. See some of the results Dr Yannis can create:

The new collagen and elastin produced in the treatment can last in the skin for 2-5 years, however, as the skin is always ageing, the way you look after yourself after your treatment (e.g an effective skincare regime, how healthy your lifestyle is, and wearing SPF daily,) can all help to maintain your Potenza results.
