Potenza™ RF Microneedling: Smoother, Firmer Skin at Waccamaw Medspa
Transform Your Skin with Potenza™ Radiofrequency Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create tiny punctures on the surface of the skin, triggering the body to produce new collagen and elastin. The results of this treatment include improved texture, firmness, and skin resurfacing.
Radiofrequency microneedling enhances this process by delivering radiofrequency energy through the needles into deeper layers of the skin, allowing for more dramatic results in skin tightening, resurfacing, and scar reduction. At Waccamaw Medical Spa, we are proud to offer this advanced treatment with Potenza™.
What is Potenza™?
Potenza™ by Cynosure is a cutting-edge microneedling treatment that utilizes radiofrequency energy to address a variety of skin conditions. This technology combines monopolar and bipolar radio frequencies, allowing for both shallow and deep treatments within a single session, customized to meet your unique needs.
Whether you’re looking to tighten and firm your skin, reduce signs of aging, or remove unwanted blemishes, Potenza™ can help. This versatile treatment is safe for all skin types and can be used on various areas of the body.
How Does Potenza™ Work?
Using ultrafine needles and radiofrequency energy, Potenza™ stimulates your body’s natural healing process, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin. This revitalizes and renews your skin, leaving you with a more youthful appearance.
Treatment times vary depending on the area being treated, but most sessions are completed within 45 minutes. Common side effects include slight bleeding and a warm sensation during treatment, but significant pain is rare. Mild redness, tingling, and tenderness may occur after treatment.
Enhanced Results with Exosomes and PRP
For those looking to maximize the benefits of their microneedling treatment, we offer the option to enhance your results with exosomes and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), similar to the popular Vampire Facial.
Exosomes: These are powerful cell messengers that boost your skin’s regenerative processes, accelerating healing and enhancing the production of collagen and elastin. When combined with microneedling, exosomes can significantly improve skin texture, tone, and overall vitality.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): PRP is derived from your own blood and is rich in growth factors that stimulate skin repair and rejuvenation. When applied during microneedling, PRP penetrates deep into the skin, enhancing the healing process and delivering more pronounced, longer-lasting results.
Adding exosomes or PRP to your microneedling treatment can lead to even more dramatic improvements in skin texture, firmness, and tone, giving you a truly rejuvenated appearance.
What to Expect from Your Treatment
Patients typically notice results after just one treatment, but for optimal results, 3-6 sessions may be recommended, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. For long-lasting effects, a series of follow-up treatments or annual touch-ups may be needed.
Swelling and redness may last for a few days after treatment but should subside. Tiny scabs may form as your skin heals; it’s important to let these scabs fall off naturally. We recommend avoiding hot showers, strenuous activities, and significant sun exposure for the first 48 hours after treatment.
