Potenza RF Microneedling

Does Potenza™ RF Microneedling hurt?

Most patients find Potenza™ RF Microneedling very tolerable, thanks to the numbing cream applied before treatment. While you may feel a warm, prickling sensation as the microneedles and radiofrequency energy work together, discomfort is generally mild to moderate and short-lived. The numbing cream helps keep you comfortable throughout the procedure, and any sensitivity typically subsides quickly after the session. Patients often describe the experience as manageable—especially when considering the long-term benefits of smoother, firmer, more radiant skin.

Will my skin be sore afterward?

You may experience some temporary redness or mild swelling, similar to a sunburn, but this usually fades within a few days.

Can I take pain medication before treatment?

Your treatment specialist will guide you on pre-care. In most cases, numbing cream is all that’s needed to keep you comfortable.

Is Potenza™ more painful than traditional microneedling?

Not necessarily—the addition of radiofrequency energy may create a slightly warmer sensation, but with numbing cream, most patients tolerate it well.

How can I make the treatment more comfortable?

Arriving with clean, product-free skin and following all pre-care guidelines will help ensure the best and most comfortable experience.
