FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Potenza
What kind of treatment is Potenza?
Potenza is a treatment that uses microneedles and other methods to deliver radiofrequency (RF) energy to the skin, addressing skin concerns such as acne scars, enlarged pores, redness, and loss of firmness. A key feature of this treatment is the ability to adjust the delivery method and topical agents based on the specific skin concern.
What skin concerns is Potenza suitable for?
Potenza is used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including redness and pitted scars from acne, enlarged pores, loss of firmness and elasticity, and age spots and wrinkles. The appropriate mode and treatment solution are selected based on the specific skin concern.
Does YAYOI CLINIC have a set number of shots for the Potenza treatment?
At YAYOI CLINIC, we do not set a standard number of Potenza shots. We assess each individual’s skin concerns and skin type to recommend the appropriate number of shots, power level, and treatment solution.
Does Potenza hurt?
Since Potenza uses needles, you may experience some discomfort or pain. At YAYOI CLINIC, we use the BIANCA Method, which is designed to minimize pain and bleeding, and we also provide topical anesthesia and soothing packs as needed.
How long is the downtime for Potenza?
At Potenza, redness, swelling, or pain may occur after treatment. Since downtime varies depending on the treatment details and your skin condition, we will explain the specific recovery process before your treatment.
How many times do I need to undergo the Potenza treatment?
As a general guideline, Potenza treatments are typically performed at least three times every 4 to 6 weeks. However, in cases of melasma, treatments may be performed every 2 weeks, and the interval varies depending on the specific treatment.
What is the difference between Potenza and Dermapen?
The main difference between Potenza and Dermapen 4 is that Potenza uses radiofrequency (RF) energy in addition to its micro-needling approach. It also allows for precise customization of the treatment, such as combining different active ingredients based on specific skin concerns.
Can YAYOI CLINIC combine Potenza with medication?
Yes. At YAYOI CLINIC, we offer treatments using products such as Macoom, Rejuran, and Caviar Booster. We’ll recommend the appropriate products based on your skin condition and your desired results.
Do you use VISIA® before and after Potenza treatments?
At YAYOI CLINIC, we use the “VISIA®” skin analysis system to objectively assess your skin condition and recommend appropriate treatments. This also helps us monitor changes in your skin concerns as we determine your future treatment plan.
Is Potenza suitable for people with many skin concerns?
Since Potenza allows treatment parameters to be adjusted to address multiple skin concerns, it is a viable option for those dealing with issues such as enlarged pores, acne scars, redness, and loss of firmness. At YAYOI CLINIC, we offer fully customized treatments tailored to your skin type and specific concerns.
