Potenza RF Microneedling is a radio microneedling technology that regenerates tissues and stimulates the natural production of collagen in the skin, helping to tighten the skin and rejuvenate the skin.
How Potenza works
A non-surgical cosmetic procedure that works using very fine needles with RF energy that penetrates the external surface of the skin in order to make thousands of microscopic holes in the skin and facilitate the arrival of radio energy to the deep layers of the skin, which helps to stimulate the skin to start the process of natural healing of the skin, which results in the gradual elimination of damaged cells and scar tissue and stimulate the production of collagen and natural elastin protein in the skin, which is one of the most important proteins that maintain youth, moisture and beauty of the skin. This improves the skin from the deep layers to the outer surface of the skin.
What distinguishes Microneedling RF technologies is that they combine the benefits of fine skin injuries caused by fine needles with the benefits of thermal energy that heats the deep layers of the skin, helping to give more effective results in the production of collagen and reshaping the structure of the skin for rejuvenation and total rejuvenation of the skin. One of its additional advantages is that it channels the skin, which helps to facilitate the delivery of topical treatments that are used for the skin or scalp, which helps to improve the results of topical products.
Uses of Potenza Technology
The body’s natural response during the healing process treats many skin problems, including:
- Reduce dilated pores.
- Treatment of sensitive area pigmentation.

It can be used all over the body due to its 10 different handles to treat many areas and skin problems. The most common areas for treatment with Potenza technology are:
- FACE & NECK.
- Thighs.
- Abdomen and thighs.
- Sensitive area in women.
Advantages of Potenza Technology
- A procedure approved by the Saudi and US Food and Drug Authority (FDA).
- Can be used for all types of light and dark skin.
- Can be used safely for sensitive areas and sensitive skin.
- He does not need a recovery period and can return to daily activities immediately after the procedure.
How the procedure works
30 minutes before the start of the procedure, the skin is cleaned and an anesthetic cream is applied to the target area to reduce the feeling of pain and heat. After that, the skin is sterilized to start the procedure, where the doctor starts the treatment process by pressing the handle of the handheld device targeting the surface of the skin, so radio waves and micro-needles are released penetrating the skin. The doctor may pass the device’s hand more than once to some areas where wrinkles, pigmentation and other skin problems appear.
Duration of the procedure and number of sessions
Usually, 4-6 sessions are conducted to obtain effective stimulation of collagen and natural elastin in the skin and the number of sessions is determined based on the size of the expectations and the problem to be treated.
The duration of the session is 15-45 minutes depending on the treated area and the number of targeted areas in the same session. It is preferable between the session and the other for a period of at least 4-6 weeks, which is the period necessary for recovery and ensuring the stimulation of collagen.
Result appears
As with all radio microneedling techniques and all techniques whose results depend on stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, the results may take two weeks or more, which is how long it takes the body to produce natural collagen and elastin, and the final results may take approximately 3-6 months.
Potenza Side Effects
It is a safe and almost no-risk procedure when performed with an expert and accredited doctor, as its side effects when applied correctly and choosing the appropriate case are limited to:
- Redness and swelling of the skin usually dis appears within several days after the procedure.
- Minor bleeding at the injection sites, skin irritation and itching.
- Dryness of the skin, peeling of the skin and increased acuity
- Allergic reactions to the procedure are rare.
- Infection and pigmentation of the skin are rare and may be the result of misuse of the technique.

What distinguishes Potenza from other microneedling technologies
It is characterized as the first technology of its kind that works on four different operating modes of radio frequencies, as it works in a unipolar and bipolar mode, which helps the doctor to customize the treatment and choose the operating mode based on the needs of each patient individually. The doctor can accurately control the depth of the needles and control the thermal energy power to meet the needs and goals of each individual reviewer. This makes it a versatile procedure for treating various skin problems.
Unipolar mode works on large areas of the body, helping to tighten and improve sagging skin, while unipolar mode works on small areas specifically to treat skin problems.
Results are permanent
Their long-term results may reach up to two years, but they are not permanent, as the duration of the results varies from person to person based on many factors, including the patient’s age, lifestyle and following a daily skin care routine. Perhaps one of the most important factors to prolong the duration of the results is the use of a sunscreen with a protection factor of +30 SPF. Doctors are usually advised to have one to two sessions each year to maintain the outcome.
It hurts?
The review may feel heat and tingling during the procedure, and some reviewers describe the pain as likely, mild, and limited to the sensation of pressure, tingling, and burning sensation.
Can Potenza be used to treat double chin?
Yes, it can be used in conjunction with fat melting and cracking techniques to improve the results of double chin treatment. Microneedling techniques work with radio waves when used deeply to dissolve fat and tighten the skin, which enhances the results when used with fat melting needles sessions and the American CoolMini for double-chin technique to treat fatty clusters under the chin.
Can Potenza be integrated with other cosmetic techniques?
Yes, the doctor usually selects an intensive treatment program to treat some advanced conditions by incorporating more than one cosmetic procedure for quick and more obvious results.
The enhanced cosmetic procedure for Potenza results is selected based on the status of the review and the goal of the treatment as it is combined with fractional laser techniques and fractional dol technology to enhance the results of the treatment of cases of pigmentation and the effects of scarring of grains and wounds. It can also be used to enhance the results of face lift and freshness techniques with many techniques, including EMFace, Ultherapy, Endolift and other procedures.
It may be combined with various cosmetic injection procedures according to the goal of treatment, such as combination with water tension injections, Botox injections, fillers, pigment treatment injections, fat dissolving needles, collagen stimulant needles, Salmod DNA and other cosmetic injections.
