With the holiday season behind us, it’s time to make a fresh start in the new year. And what better way to do that than with professional skin renewal?

The winter season and holidays may be a joyful time, but it can also be quite stressful, with the effects being visible on your skin. To reverse the resulting damage, in-office procedures like Potenza™ can help you step into the new year with your best skin.

What makes Potenza™ a great option for post-holiday skin renewal is that it is both versatile and safe. It uses a unique combination of radiofrequency technologies, microneedling tips and needle alignment options to offer unmatched versatility and efficiency.

The Holidays and Your Skin

Starting late November and through December, you and your skin have a lot to handle. The cold weather outside and the dry indoor air from heating can sap moisture from your skin. Then there is the lack of sleep and stress around the holidays and overindulging on good food and drink that spell trouble for your complexion. All of this together might leave you with the following problems by January:

• Dry and flaky skin
• Clogged pores and acne
• More visible lines and wrinkles
• Irritation and dullness

If you were dealing with other skin issues before — like rosacea, broken capillaries, melasma, wrinkles and sagging — you might notice they become more prominent at this time of year.

Of course, taking good care of your skin can prevent this and help reverse the damage to some extent. You might try at-home remedies, like exfoliation and hydrating masks; however, these treatments can only offer mild improvement. For true New Year skin rejuvenation, an in-office treatment by a skilled and trained practitioner is necessary.

How RF Microneedling Can Revive Your Skin

RF microneedling offers unmatched skin rejuvenation thanks to its powerful combination of two tried and tested technologies: microneedling and radiofrequency.

Microneedling creates tiny channels within the skin with the help of ultra-fine needles. The RF device generates an electric current that passes through the microneedles and reaches the deeper layers of the skin to maximize treatment efficiency. Together, these two technologies can tackle nearly any skin issue:

• Lines and wrinkles
• Age spots and sun damage
• Enlarged pores
• Acne breakouts
• Acne scars
• Mild skin laxity

These benefits are due to the controlled injury created by the RF microneedling device. This type of injury helps remove damaged parts of the skin while boosting the production of new collagen fibers, leading to visible skin tightening and general improvement of your complexion.

What Makes Potenza™ RF Microneedling So Special?

There are dozens of microneedling devices on the market to choose from, but Potenza™ truly stands out as a new standard in microneedling for the following reasons:

Four-mode RF microneedling

Potenza™ is the world’s first RF microneedling machine to combine monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency at 1 or 2MHz, creating four unique RF modes. This allows both shallow and deep treatments within one system.

A wide range of microneedling tips

The Potenza™ device includes a range of insulated and semi-insulated tips. These include the fusion tip, tiger tip and single insulated needles. The fusion tip is used to enhance the penetration of topicals. The tiger tip was designed to treat more skin in a single treatment. The single needle tip precisely removes blemishes.

Can be used anywhere on the body

Potenza™ can be safely used to treat concerns nearly anywhere on the body and any time of the year. However, the most common areas of application include the face, neck and abdomen.

Less painful than other devices

Thanks to the high level of customizing made possible with this device, patients can expect less pain during treatment. Adjustable needle penetration depth and RF energy levels ensure precise treatment with much less pain.

Benefits of Potenza™ RF Microneedling in the New Year

We’ve explained why the Potenza™ device is the new standard in RF microneedling. But why choose this type of treatment as opposed to, say, chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing or Botox for the year ahead? Here are a couple of advantages of this treatment to consider:

• Suitable for all skin types and tones
• Shorter downtime than resurfacing treatments
• Minimal pain and fewer side effects
• Results last longer than injectables
• Can treat multiple concerns at once

What the Treatment Process Looks Like

Like most cosmetic treatments, treatment with RF microneedling starts with a consultation with one of our practitioners. At your initial appointment, your provider will review your medical history and talk to you about your expectations. They will then provide pre-treatment instructions for you to follow.

Before your appointment, you may need to take prescription medications to prep your skin for treatment. You should also limit tanning and avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements as directed.

Your treatment will take place in our office. Your provider starts by cleansing your skin and applying a topical anesthetic to keep you comfortable. They will then apply the Potenza™ applicator to your skin. This will create tiny wounds in the skin and simultaneously release radiofrequency waves into these wounds. The whole treatment should be finished in 20 minutes or less. Three to four sessions spaced six weeks apart are needed in most cases.

Your results should be visible by three to four months, which is how long it takes for skin to produce enough new collagen fibers for visible improvement.
