What is Potenza RF Microneedling?

Using both handheld microneedling device operated by our trained providers, and the ultra-fine needles, Potenza works. Additionally, the FDA states that RF penetrates the skin’s outermost layers. This then triggers the skin’s natural repair process. As a result, Potenza creates new collagen and elastin. Consequently, it leaves skin looking tighter, firmer, brighter and younger-acting.
