Frequently Asked Questions
What is Potenza RF microneedling?
Potenza RF microneedling uses ultrafine needles and radiofrequency energy to penetrate the top layer of the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process to produce new collagen and elastin.
What are common areas of treatment?
Common treatment areas include the face, neck, upper chest, abdomen, jowls, eyebrows, under-eye bags, and various body parts such as arms, legs, and knees.
What are the benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency?
This treatment stimulates increased collagen and elastin production, resulting in tighter and firmer skin in the targeted area.
Who is a good candidate for Potenza RF microneedling?
It’s suitable for individuals looking to improve complexion, tighten skin, address early signs of aging, brighten damaged skin, stimulate elastin and collagen, treat active acne and scarring, reduce stretch marks, and improve skin laxity after weight loss or pregnancy. It can be used on all skin types, anywhere on the body, at any time of year.
How long does Potenza RF microneedling take?
The treatment typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, though this may increase slightly for larger areas or those requiring greater precision.

The number of treatments varies per individual, but typically 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results.
Is anesthesia or numbing required for Potenza RF microneedling?
Most patients do not report pain during or after the treatment. Sensations such as prickling or light pressure may occur. Localized numbing is optional; a numbing cream or injectable anesthetic may be used for additional comfort.
