Potenza Radio Frequency Microneedling Treatment

Microneedling is a non-surgical procedure that can help improve the texture and appearance of your skin. One of our doctors will use thin needles to create small holes in the top layer of your skin. Damaging the skin’s upper layer starts the healing process, allowing your skin to create collagen and elastin proteins, which help keep your skin smooth.

Our doctors may recommend Potenza RF microneedling because it can make your skin firmer and reduce blemishes. Potenza Radio Frequency microneedling differs from standard microneedling treatments because it uses radiofrequency technology to heat the skin. This feature is meant to help the body produce higher-than-usual levels of elastin and collagen.

Our team will do everything possible to ensure you feel comfortable during your Potenza Radio Frequency microneedling treatment. Before your appointment, you can prepare by coming ready to discuss the following:

How to Care for Your Skin After Microneedling

After your Potenza RF microneedling treatment, your skin may be swollen or irritated for a few days. Our doctors may recommend that you stay out of the sun and use ice to treat any redness or discomfort you experience. One benefit to Potenza

• Your health history
• The reasons you are seeking microneedling treatment
• Your lifestyle, such as if you will be able to take any downtime to recover
• Any medications you are taking
• Any conditions you have been diagnosed with

How the Microneedling Process Works

During your appointment, the Potenza RF microneedling process generally looks like the following:

• One of our doctors will place the microneedle tip onto the surface of your skin.
• The microneedles will break through the tissue.

RF microneedling is that many patients report quicker healing times than traditional microneedling.

It’s generally expected that patients might have dry skin after microneedling. You can apply a gentle moisturizer to help with this side effect. If you experience bruising, prolonged swelling, or blistering, contact your doctor immediately.

• RF energy treats the target area.
• Collagen and elastin production improves.

The size of the needles we use will depend on the condition we’re treating. Deep scarring, for example, may call for longer needles. Our doctors know how to perform this treatment gently and will make sure you understand what is happening each step of the way.

The amount of time it takes to complete your microneedling treatment will depend on factors such as:

• The area of the body being treated
• Needle depth
• The number of passes over the treatment area you need

In general, you can expect treatment to take about an hour. However, this time frame can vary depending on your unique condition. At Palm Beach Dermatology Group, we value your time and understand that you have a busy schedule. We won’t make you wait long to see a doctor.

When Microneedling Might Not Be Right for You

At Palm Beach Dermatology Group, our priority is to keep you safe. We will be transparent about whether you’re a strong candidate for microneedling. According to Cleveland Clinic, microneedling may not be suitable for you if you:

• Take certain acne medications or medications that stop blood from clotting

• Have cancer or are undergoing radiation therapy
• Get frequent cold sores
• Experience frequent rash breakouts
• Have eczema or psoriasis

If our doctors determine that microneedling is not right for you, we may recommend a different route for treating your skin. We offer many services to our patients and can provide other recommendations to help you feel healthy and confident in your skin.
