Potenza RF microneedling

As we age, certain factors can influence the texture and firmness of our skin.

Collagen and elastin production naturally decreases over time, which can lead to skin laxity and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

Acne breakouts can cause scarring or an uneven skin texture. Potenza radiofrequency (RF) microneedling acts on the skin at a cellular level to lift, revitalise and resurface the skin.

Potenza RF microneedling is an advanced aesthetic technology, which combines ultra fine needles with heat, to penetrate and disrupt the top layer of the skin.

This procedure triggers the body’s natural regeneration process by stimulating collagen and elastin production. This effect continues in the skin for several weeks post treatment, to augment the benefits.

Potenza microneedling has a rejuvenating effect on the skin through an overall lifting and tightening, smoothing of fine lines, shrinking enlarged pores, and reducing the appearance of acne scarring.

Every patient is unique and every treatment is bespoke, so results may vary from person to person.
Before potenza microneedling treatmentAfter potenza microneedling treatment
Four weeks after her first Potenza microneedling treatment with Emma, this patient's skin had already tightened and lifted, particularly around her jowls and eyes. Potenza's rejuvenating effects have also given her skin a smoother, more even texture. And, with 2 more sessions to come, the results will only improve.

This amazing transformation has been achieved with a combination of dermal fillers and Potenza RF microneedling. Tim applied 3ml of midface fillers to subtly plump and lift the client's cheeks. Then Kim took over with three sessions of Potenza; lifting, tightening and renewing our client's face and neck. The overall result is a startling improvement in skin tone, jawline shaping and overall rejuvenation.

After 2 Potenza RF microneedling treatments with Emma, this client is already seeing fabulous results. The fine lines which had caused a slightly "crepey" skin appearance on her neck have been smoothed away.

Reviews for our Potenza RF microneedling treatment

Can’t thank Dan enough for introducing me to Potenza treatment. I’ve seen such a difference in my face and neck. Everything is tighter, plumper and lifted. It’s taken years off me and my face looks very youthful. Highly recommend Dan and Melior Clinics. Dan is incredible and you’re always in the best hands with him. ”

What is Potenza microneedling treatment like?

Before the treatment

Your skin will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream applied to minimise any discomfort. Your practitioner will adjust the device settings based on your skin type and concerns.

During the treatment

During the treatment, a handheld device with ultrafine needles and radiofrequency (RF) energy is passed across the skin. The needles create micro-injuries while the RF energy heats the deeper layers of skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. 

The treatment usually takes around 30–60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. A cooling gel or soothing serum may be applied afterwards to help calm the skin.

After the treatment

Afterwards, the skin may appear red and feel warm for up to a few days. Visible improvements typically develop over the following weeks as the skin regenerates.

Potenza microneedling – your questions answered

What is the science behind Potenza?

Potenza uses the well-established process of microneedling, whereby very fine needles cause micro-wounds to the dermis, triggering your skin’s natural healing processes. 

What makes Potenza different is that it combines microneedling with radiofrequency technology. This additional thermal stimulation encourages the production of collagen and elastin, furthering the rejuvenating effect.

The Potenza device is highly advanced, enabling our practitioners to tailor the treatment to each patient, for example by choosing from bipolar RF or monopolar RF, and the depth to which the needles penetrate the skin.

If you’d like to explore more about the mechanisms behind microneedling and radiofrequency-based treatments like Potenza, the following resources offer useful insights and clinical data:

Is Potenza radiofrequency microneedling worth it?

Potenza microneedling treatment can achieve tighter, firmer skin with a visible reduction in fine lines and acne scarring.

By combining fine needles with heat generated by radiofrequency, Potenza microneedling penetrates the top layer of skin to cause minor trauma, which stimulates the body’s natural regeneration process through the production of collagen and elastin.

What can I expect during the appointment?

All patients have a free initial consultation, so that our experts can fully assess your skin and ensure that both you, and we, are happy that the approach is right for you. If so, the treatment can be administered straight away.

The treatment itself will take around 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the area(s) to be treated.

A topical numbing cream will be applied before the treatment to ensure you are comfortable throughout.

What can I expect following Potenza microneedling treatment?

Patients may experience some redness and swelling immediately following treatment, but this should subside within a few hours.

What does Potenza microneedling cost?

Please see above for the prices of Potenza microneedling treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

Your practitioner will discuss your treatment plan with you at your initial consultation, to tailor an approach that will achieve the optimum results for you.
