What POTENZA Is
POTENZA is a treatment that uses microneedles and radiofrequency energy at 1 MHz or 2 MHz. Your plan depends on your goals and how your skin responds. If you have questions about technique or settings, ask your doctor.
How Your Session Works
A senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation, and the skin is assessed using an EVE V MUSE analyzer. The doctor then provides a detailed consultation on the treatment areas and method, completes the medical assessment and performs the treatment directly. This sequence helps align expectations before the procedure. Bring your priorities so the consultation can focus on what matters to you.
Recovery and Daily Life
Redness usually lasts about two days, and fine crusting, flaking or a rough texture may last about one week. Face washing and makeup are possible from the next day, and flying is possible right after treatment. Recovery varies by person, so plan a few days of flexibility. If you have an important event or photo shoot coming up, leave extra time.
How to Confirm It Is Genuine
The clinic displays its official certification plaque on site. This supports the device authenticity you see during setup. If you want more context on how the device is used for acne scars, ask your doctor.
