Potenza in St. Petersburg, FL
As we get older, our skin loses its stretchiness, and wrinkles, lines, and sagging start showing up, making us look older than we want.
Potenza is the best microneedling tools in the beauty world. They use radiofrequency energy to reshape and tone the face and body by adjusting the fatty layer underneath the skin. This special treatment goes deep into the skin and fat layers, giving a smoother and sleeker look.
By focusing on the deeper skin layers, these tools encourage the building blocks to rearrange naturally, helping in an anti-aging process. It’s a process that causes almost no harm to the skin’s deeper layer, ensuring a very even result.
Potenza is great choices for those who want to enhance their looks without opting for surgery.
At Waters Edge Medical Clinic and Spa, we prefer Potenza for facial treatments because of its sleek design, letting us work close to the eyes and nose. It comes with multiple head options for different treatments like acne, scars, managing wrinkles, and an overall facelift.
What is Potenza?
Potenza™ is an FDA-approved treatment for the face and body using radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. It uses super tiny needles and radiofrequency energy to go into the upper skin layer. This helps activate the body’s natural healing process, making new collagen and elastin.
The Potenza is also a minimally invasive radio frequency device, that works beautifully on the face and neck region. The potenza has. a sleek design, plus multiple interchangable tips that allow for a closer and deeper penetration. The tips include S-25, I-25, S-49, I-49, A1-15 and CP-2 each tip has different numbers of needles and various functions.
The tips are designed with two spaces where the volume changes as the needles move. The movement of the needles within the spaces creates negative and positive pressure resulting in tissue being pulled into the needle tip chamber, and an emitted puff of air. This puff of air towards the skin with each pulse also enhances the penetration of topicals into the skin, such as PRP (platelet rich plasma) therapy.

- Potenza can be used with two modes. Including 1MHz and 2Mhz or Monopolar and bipolar mode. 1 MHz or monopolar is great for deep and wide treatment areas, while 2 MHz or bipolar is focused targeting and more aggressive.

What areas Can the Potenza Treat?
Potenza is a versatile treatment that can be applied to various areas of the body and face, offering solutions for skin tightening, contouring, and rejuvenation
The radiofrequency energy emitted by Potenza not only enhances the micro-injury healing process but also penetrates deeper into the skin layers. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, crucial proteins responsible for skin elasticity, firmness, and overall youthfulness.
Potenza is generally considered safe for all skin types, but proper technique and parameter adjustment are crucial for minimizing the risk of complications, especially in individuals with darker skin tones.
How Does Potenza Work?
Potenza employs a dual-action process to enhance skin texture and firmness. Firstly, the treatment involves microneedling, utilizing ultrafine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. Simultaneously, Potenza delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy into the deeper layers of the skin, generating gentle heat.
This combined approach triggers the skin’s natural response to produce more collagen, a crucial protein for skin strength and elasticity. The micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s healing process, resulting in the regeneration of new collagen and elastin.
Notably versatile, Potenza can be applied to different areas of the body and face, offering tailored solutions for specific skin concerns. The treatment is further distinguished by its customization, allowing healthcare professionals to adjust the depth of the needles and the intensity of the RF energy based on individual skin needs. Potenza’s minimal downtime and FDA approval underline its safety and effectiveness in promoting natural skin rejuvenation.
