What POTENZA Does
POTENZA uses microneedles and radiofrequency energy at 1 MHz or 2 MHz. You can target pores that look more visible after shaving or late in the workday. 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. This flexibility helps you concentrate on areas that show shine or enlarged pores.
How Sessions Are Planned
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. Sessions can also be repeated based on how the skin responds after a single session. Basic POTENZA is priced per session, regardless of tip type or shot count.
Downtime and Daily Life
Redness usually lasts about two days, and fine crusting, flaking or a rough texture may last about one week. Plan your calendar so any visible texture changes do not conflict with key meetings. If you have an important event or photo shoot coming up, leave a few days of extra time. Recovery varies by person, so ask your doctor how it may fit your schedule.
Transparency On Treatment Day
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. This setup allows you to see key details as they happen. You can focus on the treatment while knowing what is being used.
Common Situations and Concerns
You may worry about how the treatment feels. Anesthetic cream is included. You may wonder whether visible redness will show after your morning shave. The visibility can vary by person and by your planned schedule. If you prefer to look presentable at work, consider timing sessions away from big client days. Your doctor will tailor the plan to balance timing with your goals.
