Potenza RF Microneedling Treatment
Advanced Customizable Radiofrequency Microneedling for Collagen Remodeling and Skin Revitalization
Potenza by Cynosure is the world’s first radiofrequency (RF) microneedling device to combine both monopolar and bipolar RF energy at multiple frequencies in a single platform. This breakthrough allows for four unique RF modes, enabling highly customizable treatments for a wide range of skin types, tones, and concerns—on both the face and body, any time of year.
How Potenza Works
Potenza uses ultrafine, adjustable-depth needles to deliver controlled RF energy into various layers of the skin. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
- Monopolar RF: Delivers energy deeply across a larger area for skin tightening and soft tissue coagulation.
- Bipolar RF: Targets more superficial layers for focused skin revitalization.
- Four RF Modes: Allow for both shallow and deep treatments, fully tailored to each patient’s needs.
Potenza features a variety of tips, including:
- Tiger Tip™ Technology: The first semi-insulated needles of their kind, expanding the treatment zone and allowing more tissue to be addressed per session.
- Fusion Tip: Specifically designed to enhance the penetration of topicals, driving up to 67% more product into the skin compared to standard microneedling.
- Single-Needle Handpiece: For precise targeting and improvement of localized blemishes.
