Potenza Microneedling Q & A
What is Potenza Microneedling With RF?
Potenza™ Microneedling with RF is a cutting-edge skin revitalization treatment that merges two proven technologies: microneedling and radiofrequency.
- The microneedling aspect creates tiny microchannels in the skin to trigger natural healing and collagen production.
- The RF energy delivers gentle heat into the deeper layers of skin, enhancing tightening and toning effects.
Together, they target fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and sagging skin – producing visible results that continue to improve over time.
Who is a good candidate for Potenza Microneedling?
This treatment is ideal for anyone seeking to improve:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin laxity or sagging
- Uneven skin tone or rough texture
- Acne scars or other surface imperfections
- Stretch marks
Because Potenza works on all skin types and tones, it’s a safe and effective option for most patients who want smoother, tighter, more radiant skin without surgery.
What can I expect during treatment?
Your Potenza treatment begins with a gentle cleanse and, if needed, a topical numbing cream for comfort.
During the procedure, Dr. Anderson uses the Potenza handpiece to glide over your skin, creating controlled micro-injuries while delivering precise radiofrequency heat energy.
You may feel a warm or prickling sensation, but most patients find the treatment very tolerable. Sessions typically last about 30–45 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
There's minimal downtime, you may experience slight redness or swelling for a day or two, similar to a mild sunburn.
How long does it take to see results?
You’ll notice an initial glow within the first week as your skin begins to heal. Over the next 4–6 weeks, collagen and elastin production increase, revealing smoother, tighter, lighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
For best results, Dr. Anderson often recommends a series of 3–4 treatments, spaced about a month apart, depending on your skin goals.
How long does it take to recover from Potenza Microneedling?
Most patients can return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.
Minor redness or sensitivity is common immediately after treatment but typically resolves quickly. You’ll be advised to avoid makeup, exfoliants, or direct sun exposure for a short period to allow your skin to heal optimally.
