What POTENZA Does and How a Visit Runs
POTENZA uses microneedles to deliver radiofrequency energy at 1 MHz or 2 MHz. The doctor then provides a detailed consultation on the treatment areas and method, completes the medical assessment and performs the treatment directly. Anesthetic cream is included. Genuine POTENZA tips are opened in front of the patient before treatment, and the patient can check the shot count shown on the screen during treatment. The clinic displays its official certification plaque on site. A session can be booked for the full face, for a focus area such as pores or acne scars, or for a partial area such as cheeks or nose.
Downtime and Schedule Planning
Sessions are usually spaced about four to six weeks apart, and three to five sessions are commonly planned depending on the goal. Sessions can also be repeated based on how the skin responds after a single session. Face washing and makeup are possible from the next day, and flying is possible right after treatment. If you have an important event or photo shoot coming up, plan a few days of extra time.
