RF Microneedling

What is Potenza Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling?

RF Microneedling combines radio frequency (RF) energy with traditional microneedling and is FDA-approved to treat skin texture, tone, and firmness. Potenza is the world’s first RF microneedling machine that combines monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency at 1 or 2 MHz in a single device, which allows for better fine tuning of configurations and energy setting to fit each client’s individual needs.

How does RF Microneedling work?

RF Microneedling works in a dual-action fashion to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance:

1. The microneedles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process. 
2. The RF energy delivers heat to deep skin layers, which promotes collagen and elastin production.

What conditions can RF Microneedling address?

RF Microneedling can be used to address common aesthetic concerns, including:

• Active Acne
• Boxcar Acne Scars: Broad, box-like depressions with sharply defined edges that mostly form on the lower cheeks and jaw where the skin is thicker.
• Ice Pick Acne Scars: Narrow, pitted, and deep depressions that primarily form on the cheeks
• Rolling Acne Scars: Shallow and wide depressions with sloping edges that result in uneven skin appearance
• Enlarged Pores
• Uneven Skin Texture
• Loose or Lax Skin
• Wrinkles and Fine Lines

How many RF Microneedling sessions are recommended for optimal results?

Clients are typically recommended a series of 3-5 treatments spaced around 4-6 weeks apart for the best results. Of course, Dr. Guan will work with you during your consultation to determine an individualized treatment plan that best suits your needs and goals.

Is RF Microneedling painful?

Before the treatment, clients will have a topical numbing cream applied to treatment areas to reduce discomfort. RF Microneedling is generally well-tolerated by clients, with minimal discomfort and pain after numbing cream is applied. However, pain tolerance and sensation vary between individuals.

What is the recovery process like?

Some mild redness may occur after treatment, but will typically fade after several hours, leaving clients with rejuvenated skin. After their appointment, clients may resume normal activities. The overall healing process will take 2-3 days post-treatment.

What is the treatment process like?

1. VISIA examination: Assess current skin condition with photo and data analysis
2. Consultation with Dr. Guan: Create treatment plan catered to client’s skincare needs and goals
3. Pre-Treatment: Cleanse and apply topical anesthesia.
