With Potenza

Microneedling with RF

Skin needling with the firming power turned up, for skin that needs more than collagen alone

You've noticed it along the jaw, around the eyes, across the neck. Skin that's started to loosen, a softening of the definition you once had. Potenza does everything skin needling does, then adds radiofrequency energy to firm and tighten from deeper down.

It's one of the most powerful treatments we offer for laxity, and it works across all skin tones, which not every firming device can claim.

How it works

Potenza combines microneedling with radiofrequency skin tightening. Fine needles create the controlled micro-channels that trigger your skin to produce new collagen, the same principle as skin needling. As those needles sit in the skin, Potenza delivers radiofrequency energy directly into the deeper layers through them. That energy heats the tissue in a controlled way, which tightens existing collagen immediately and prompts a much stronger rebuilding response than needling alone. You'll see a firming effect after the first treatment, and your skin keeps improving for up to six months as new collagen matures.

What it treats

• Loss of firmness and skin laxity, along the jaw, neck and elsewhere

• Fine lines and signs of ageing, through deeper collagen remodelling

• Enlarged pores and rough texture, refined and smoothed

• Mild to moderate acne scarring

• Blemishes and congestion

• Crepey or loosening skin on the body, not just the face

Skin needling or Potenza, which one do I need?

The honest answer depends on your skin, and we'll tell you plainly at your consultation. Standard skin needling is often enough to address texture, scarring, and overall skin quality. Potenza earns its place when firmness and tightening are the priority, because the radiofrequency energy reaches a depth and delivers a lifting effect that needles alone can't. 

Some people are better suited to one, some to the other, and some get the most from our Cyno Glow treatment, which combines Potenza with PicoSure laser.

What it feels like, and downtime

You'll feel heat and pressure as the needles and radiofrequency work, which most people find very manageable. Afterwards, expect redness and warmth, like a sunburn, to settle over a day or two, sometimes with mild swelling. 

What to expect

This is collagen work, so it rewards patience and consistency. You'll notice firming after your first treatment, but the lasting change builds over a course of three to five sessions and continues maturing for months afterwards. We'll map a realistic plan to your skin and your goals at your consultation.

Frequently asked questions

What is Potenza RF microneedling?
Potenza is a treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. The needles create micro-channels that trigger collagen production, while radiofrequency energy delivered through them heats the deeper layers to tighten existing collagen and drive a stronger rebuilding response. The result is firmer, smoother, more lifted skin.

How is it different from regular skin needling?
Standard skin needling stimulates collagen through the needles alone, which is excellent for texture and scarring. Potenza adds radiofrequency energy on top of that, which penetrates deeper and delivers firming and tightening that needling alone can't achieve. If laxity is your main concern, Potenza is usually the better fit. 

Does it hurt?
You'll feel heat and pressure during the treatment. Most people find it very manageable, and your therapist checks in with you throughout to keep you comfortable. 

Is there downtime?
Expect redness and warmth, like a sunburn, for a day or two, sometimes with mild swelling. Most people return to normal life quickly with good sun protection. We'll tell you exactly what to expect for your treatment. 

How many treatments will I need?
Most people need three to five sessions for lasting results, spaced several weeks apart. You'll see firming after the first, with results continuing to build for up to six months as new collagen matures. We'll give you a realistic plan at your consultation.

Can it treat my body, not just my face?
Yes. Potenza can firm and improve crepey or loose skin on the body and face. Body areas are priced individually, so we'll quote yours at your consultation.
