Revitalize Your Skin and Combat Early Signs of Aging with Potenza Technology

In 2020, Sky Blue Dermatology enhanced its technology platform by adding the Potenza radiofrequency microneedling device. This innovative treatment combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with the power of radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Unlike conventional microneedling, which relies solely on micro-injuries to trigger the skin’s natural healing process, Potenza takes skin rejuvenation further by delivering RF energy deep into the dermis. This dual action approach accelerates skin rejuvenation and is an effective option for patients looking for noticeable skin improvement with long-lasting results and minimal downtime. Suitable for all skin types and various areas of the body, Potenza offers a versatile solution for comprehensive skin revitalisation. Treatment sessions are efficient – typically completed within an hour – with noticeable improvements appearing within weeks and continuing to enhance over time. Potenza is particularly beneficial for addressing early signs of aging, improving overall complexion and skin tone, and softening the appearance of acne scars. A consultation is required to assess your suitability for treatment, discuss the procedure in detail, and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs. This plan may include pigment and vascular lasers or injectable treatments to optimise results. Most patients require 3 to 4 sessions for […]
