How long do the results of RF microneedling last?

Radio-frequency microneedling typically provides results lasting 6 to 12 months. Maintenance sessions and a proper skincare routine can help extend these results.

Is Potenza RF microneedling safe?

Potenza RF microneedling is FDA-cleared and safe for all skin types. Traditional microneedling facial treatments are also minimally invasive and safe, making them well-suited to sensitive skin types.

What is the downtime after a microneedling facial treatment?

Downtime is minimal across treatments. RF microneedling may cause mild redness and swelling for 24-48 hours, and facial treatment also typically results in mild sensitivity and flaking for a few days. Most patients resume normal activities within 1-2 days.

Can I combine RF microneedling with other treatments?

Microneedling facial treatments can be combined with treatments like PRP (platelet-rich plasma), exosome therapy, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing to enhance skin rejuvenation, collagen production, and overall skin texture.

Where can Potenza RF microneedling be used?

Potenza RF microneedling facial treatments are highly versatile. They can target the face, neck, chest, hands, and other areas affected by wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, stretch marks, uneven skin texture, and other forms of blemishes to improve overall tone and elasticity.

Who is a good candidate for a microneedling facial treatment?

RF microneedling is ideal for individuals with skin laxity, deep wrinkles, and acne scars, while a microneedling facial treatment is perfect for mild texture concerns, enlarged pores, and general skin rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CO₂ laser skin resurfacing painful?

We apply a medical-grade topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort. While some heat is normal, most patients tolerate it well. Advanced devices like CoolPeel® use cooling technology to minimize discomfort, often described as a mild sunburn sensation.

How long is the recovery after the treatment?

Recovery depends on treatment intensity. Lighter treatments like CoolPeel® involve minimal downtime (3–5 days of redness), while deeper resurfacing typically requires 7–10 days for the skin to peel and heal effectively.

When will I start seeing results?

You will see brighter, smoother skin once initial healing is complete, usually within a week. However, deep structural improvements, such as tightening and wrinkle reduction, appear gradually over 3 to 6 months as new collagen forms.

How many treatments are needed?

Significant results are often achieved in a single session. However, patients opting for lighter, less invasive treatments may choose a series of 3 sessions to achieve their goals with zero downtime.

What skin concerns does it treat?

This treatment is the gold standard for targeting deep wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture, while simultaneously improving overall skin firmness.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

We often combine this with PRFM or Exosomes. Applying these regenerative factors immediately after laser treatment penetrates deep skin channels, accelerating recovery and amplifying your collagen-boosting results.
