What Is Potenza RF Microneedling treatment?
Potenza Radio Frequency Microneedling is a cutting-edge treatment offered at Vibrant Salon and Spa in Fredericton, NB, combining traditional microneedling with advanced radiofrequency energy to rejuvenate your skin. This procedure targets fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, loose skin, and enlarged pores, improving skin texture and tightening. The treatment can be performed on the face, neck, stomach, thighs and arms.
During the treatment, tiny needles create micro-channels in the skin's surface while RF energy gently warms the deeper layers. This dual-action approach stimulates your body’s natural healing process and boosts production of collagen — a vital protein that keeps skin firm and smooth. RF Microneedling is suitable for various skin types and conditions, delivering healthier, more radiant skin with minimal downtime.

How is Potenza RF microneedling performed?
At Vibrant Salon and Spa in Fredericton, the RF Microneedling treatment starts with a personalized consultation to understand your skin goals. This helps our practitioners customize the procedure to achieve the best results tailored to your needs.
Preparing for the Treatment
Before the treatment begins, we apply a numbing cream to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the session. The entire procedure usually takes about 75 minutes, which includes 30 minutes for the numbing cream to take effect.
What Happens During the Treatment?
Once the numbing takes effect, the practitioner will use a device with tiny needles that will gently create
micro-punctures in your skin. Along with the microneedling, the device will deliver radiofrequency (RF)
energy deep into your skin. You might feel a warming or tingling sensation as the RF energy
stimulates your skin’s deeper layers, promoting collagen production and tightening the skin.
Post-Treatment Effects
Immediately after the Potenza treatment, your skin will likely feel warm and can be sensitive, similar to
the sensation you might experience after a mild sunburn. You may also notice some redness, pinpoint
red spots or slight swelling in the treated areas, which typically fades within a few hours to a few days.
Your skin might feel tight or dry as the collagen stimulation process begins, and there could be a light
tingling or itching sensation. This is completely normal and a sign that the skin is responding to the
treatment. Most people experience minimal discomfort, and any residual effects are usually mild and
temporary. Your practitioner will provide aftercare instructions to help soothe the skin and promote
healing.
Long-Term Results and Benefits
The long-term benefits of Potenza treatments primarily stem from the stimulation of collagen and elastin
production, which gradually improve skin structure and appearance. Over time, you’ll notice smoother,
firmer skin with reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity with best results peaking after 6 months post treatment.
Recommended Treatment Schedule
In order to achieve optimal results, we typically recommend a series of 3 to 6 treatments, spaced four to
six weeks apart. The maintenance is every 3 - 6 months. This approach helps ensure long-lasting benefits and keeps your
skin looking its best. However the exact number of sessions can vary based on your personal skin goals. Body treatments typical require more sessions.

FAQs about RF Microneedling
How does the Potenza RF Microneedling treatment work?
The treatment uses tiny needles to create micro-channels in your skin. At the same time, it delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy deep into the layers. This process stimulates your body's natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production - as a result, your skin becomes tighter, smoother, and more youthful over time.
Is Microneedling painful?
Many people worry about discomfort during the procedure, we apply a topical numbing cream before
starting to help with your comfort.
How long does it take to see results?
You will start to notice clearer, smoother skin after a few weeks. However, the full benefits peak after six
months and will continue to improve with regular maintenance . This is because your skin continues
to produce new collagen and elastin during this period.
How many sessions of Potenza Microneedling are needed?
For the best results, we typically recommend 3 - 6 treatments. These sessions are spaced four to six weeks apart. This schedule allows your skin enough time to heal and produce new collagen between visits. However, the exact number of sessions can vary based on your personal skin goals. Body treatments typically require more treatments.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
Depending on which Potenza treatment that you receive, you’ll have downtime of anywhere from 24
hours to up to 7 days. You might experience some redness or slight swelling, similar to a mild sunburn.
Who is a good candidate for Potenza treatment?
Potenza RF Microneedling is suitable for most patients looking to improve their skin. It's ideal if you want
to address fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or skin laxity without surgery. The treatment works well on
different skin types and tones.
Can Potenza RF Microneedling treat acne scars?
Yes, Potenza is highly effective at treating acne scars. By stimulating collagen production, it helps to smooth out uneven skin texture caused by scarring. This can lead to clearer and more even-looking skin over time
Are the results permanent?
The results from RF Microneedling are long-lasting but not permanent. Your skin will continue to age naturally. For ongoing improvement and maintenance, we recommend periodic treatments. This helps to keep your skin looking its best over the long term.
Who should avoid Microneedling?
While RF microneedling is safe for many people, it's not recommended for everyone. Individuals with active acne, open wounds, or certain skin conditions should avoid this treatment. If you have skin infections, severe eczema, or are prone to scarring, it's important to consult our skincare professional first. They will assess your skin type to ensure this treatment is the right choice for you.
Is There a Difference Between RF Microneedling and Traditional Microneedling?
Yes, there's a difference. In classic microneedling, tiny needles are used to create micro-channels in the
skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process and encourages collagen production. However,
it only works on the surface and a little below the skin.
Potenza on the other hand, combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy. The RF
energy is delivered through the needles, penetrating deeper layers of the skin and generating heat,
which stimulates more intense collagen and elastin production. This added depth and heat makes
Potenza more effective for tightening skin, improving skin laxity, and treating deeper wrinkles or scars.
The combination of RF and microneedling in Potenza provides more comprehensive and long-lasting
results compared to classic microneedling alone.
