Forget everything you thought you knew about microneedling. Gone are the days of relying solely on traditional microneedling, confirms Newport Beach, CA plastic surgeon Terry Dubrow, MD. The current industry norm involves seamlessly integrating microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) for a revolutionary treatment, specifically with the Potenza device.
“Many of my patients don’t realize the jumpstart we can deliver to their skin with the power of Potenza RF microneedling,” says Dr. Dubrow. “This device targets a multitude of concerns in just one Potenza RF microneedling treatment.”
If you fall in a similar camp and aren’t quite sure what microneedling can do for your skin, Dr. Dubrow walks us through the many skin-changing benefits of microneedling with Potenza.
What Is Potenza RF Microneedling?
Before diving into the benefits of the Potenza device, it’s important to understand what it is and how it works. Dr. Dubrow says Potenza is a “versatile anti-aging solution”* that doesn’t require “significant downtime, unlike many other laser treatments on the market.” Potenza employs ultrafine needles and radiofrequency energy (RF) to generate numerous controlled micro-injuries in the skin, expediting the body’s natural healing process.
Another feature patients love: it’s quick. “In just 45 minutes Potenza can help you achieve younger-looking, revitalized skin.”
What Can RF Microneedling Do For Your Skin?
It Can Firm* the Skin
Dr. Dubrow explains that Potenza uses ultrafine needles and RF energy (heat) to penetrate the top layer of the skin in a controlled manner to trigger the body’s natural healing process. “In turn, this kickstarts the regeneration of new collagen and elastin production giving [you] tighter, firmer-looking skin.”
It Can Treat Unsightly Blemishes
Dr. Dubrow counts reduced blemishes as some of the main benefits of Potenza. However, it’s important to note that those with open lesions should not experience the Potenza device due to a risk of infection.
It Can Enhance Brightness
As we age, our body produces less collagen. Alongside the typical fine lines and wrinkles associated with aging and lack of collagen, the skin may also exhibit a slower healing process, making scars and hyperpigmentation more pronounced. Microneedling is specifically crafted to jumpstart the body’s natural healing process, addressing these concerns and promoting revitalization.
It Can Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles
The intentional wounding created through microneedling in the dermal and epidermal layers of the skin results in fresh, collagen-rich tissue. This collagen rebuilding not only helps to fade the look of blotchiness, but also reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles*. Delivering a refreshed complexion. Talk about a win-win!
It Can Boost Your Topical Products
Dr. Dubrow says there are even more features that set Potenza apart from the rest, namely “the capability to enhance the penetration of topicals through its Fusion Tip technology.” Dr. Dubrow says this technology is a “unique, one-of-a-kind tip that uses a dual-air chamber to physically deliver sterile topicals like hyaluronic acid deeper for maximum results.”
It Can Be Used on the Body
“One of the best benefits of Potenza is that treatments can be performed anywhere on the body at any time of year and yes, even on all skin types,” notes Dr. Dubrow, noting many of his treatments are actually performed off of the face. “Not only do I treat a lot of faces, but my patients are using Potenza on their stomachs, neck, legs, and even their hands.”
The Bottom Line
Whether it’s firming the skin, improving blemishes, enhancing brightness, or extending the benefits beyond facial applications, Potenza RF microneedling emerges as a versatile and transformative solution, revolutionizing the way we approach anti-aging skin care. Say goodbye to the limits of traditional microneedling, and embrace a new era of comprehensive skin revitalization with Potenza.
