Potenza Microneedling
Potenza is an innovative treatment that combines the benefits of micro-needling with radiofrequency technology. The combination of these two processes can treat various skin concerns effectively with minimal downtime.
The treatment is directly applied to the skin and delivered through a customisable handheld radiofrequency micro-needling device. The microneedles emit a monopolar or bipolar frequency that stimulates the skin’s own ability to repair and regenerate around the micro-injuries caused. This regenerative response treats skin concerns such as; signs of ageing, sun damage, uneven skin tone and texture, scarring, blemishes, skin laxity and stretch marks.
Potenza is a RF microneedling device that is highly effective at tightening the skin and addressing various skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, redness and more with minimal downtime. Potenza uses numerous ultrafine needles to create channels in different layers of the skin and deliver RF heat to both superficial and deeper layers of the skin.
Common Questions
How does Potenza Microneedling work?
The micro-needling process uses numerous ultra fine needles to create channels in the skin. These tiny needles enable the clinician to perform both shallow and deep skin treatments simultaneously. This means that the process is more targeted, faster and more effective. These micro-injuries encourage the body to produce collagen, an important protein for addressing textural concerns such as scarring and wrinkles. The finely tipped needles ensure a smooth process with minimal discomfort to the patient.
The process is further complemented with deep tissue heating produced by the radiofrequency energy. This universal treatment causes contraction to the sub-dermal layers to activate the skin’s regeneration, triggering new collagen, elastin and blood vessels formation. This encourages skin tightening, smoothening and tone correction while preserving surrounding healthy tissues to minimise downtime.
Both micro-needling and radio frequency are well recognised for their positive effect on the skin’s healing process. Potenza is an innovative treatment that combines the two in a way that boosts each of their respective benefits.

How long does an RF Microneedling treatment take?
We like to allow an hour appointment slot as this allows us to prep the skin and perform an LED or peptide mask to soothe your skin post treatment.
How many treatments are needed?
Depending on the skin concern the number may vary, however we find most commonly three to four initial treatments are ideal to achieve optimal results.
How soon will I see results from RF Microneedling?
Within the first few weeks your skin will be brighter and more plump. The newly formed collagen and elastin will continue to improve for up to 6 months following your treatments. The more treatments performed the more significant your results will be.
How long will the results last?
The results from Potenza are long lasting as the treatment is creating stronger collagen and elastin within the skin resulting in tighter, plumper skin. The collagen and elastin production will continue to improve up to 6 months following treatment.
How do I prepare for RF Microneedling treatments?
Our clinicians will perform a thorough consultation with you prior to your first treatment and guide you in personalised preparation for your treatment. Ideally the area to be treated should be cleanly shaven. Jewellery in the area will need to be removed pre treatment. Avoid extreme sun exposure 2 weeks before treatment. Numbing cream may be recommended for this treatment.
What is the recommended aftercare following RF Microneedling?
You will be given a take home soothing mask to be applied 24 hours following your treatment which will help to soothe and hydrate your skin.
The days following your treatment gentle products are to be used to keep the area hydrated, your clinician will go through your skincare routine with you and guide you in suitable products.
Please apply sunscreen minimum SPF 30 everyday and avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks after your treatment. You should avoid hot baths, steam and intense physical exercise for at least 48 hours.
