One of Shiny Lotus Med Spa in Mississauga‘s most advanced technologies is the Potenza! Potenza™ is a radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling device developed by Cynosure, a leader in medical aesthetic technologies. It is designed to provide effective skin rejuvenation, lifting and treatment for various skin concerns through a combination of Microneedling RF energy delivery, and advanced highly concentrated serum penetration.
Key advantages:
- Enhanced Skin Tightening
- Improvement of Skin Texture and Skin Tone
- Reduction in Wrinkles and Fine lines
- Minimization of Scars and Stretch Marks
- Treatment of Hyperpigmentation and Sun Damage
- Minimal Downtime (usually redness and swelling is gone within 24h)
- Long-Lasting results (up to 6 – 18 months)
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive
How does it work?
Microneedling involves creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface using fine needles. They stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, prompting collagen and elastin production, which helps to improve skin texture and firmness.
What sets Potenza apart is its ability to deliver Radio Frequency (RF) energy directly into the dermis through the fine needles. RF energy heats the deeper layers of the skin, causing controlled thermal injury. This thermal injury further stimulates collagen production and tightens existing collagen fibres, leading to smoother, firmer skin.
What can Potenza Treat?
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin laxity (sagging skin)
- Uneven skin texture
- Acne scars
- Stretch marks
Customization: Potenza offers customizable treatment options to address various skin concerns:
- Depth Control: The device allows precise control over the depth penetration, which can be adjusted based on the specific areas being treated and the patient’s skin condition.
- Energy Levels: Different energy levels can be selected to tailor the treatment intensity according to the patient’s needs and tolerance.
- Serum Selection: High quality sterile serums are chosen to give added benefits as they are being pushed directly into the deeper layers of the skin using its duo compression chamber created by micro-needling.
Serum options:
| F – XFC + FACE – firming and lifting, prevents the appearance of aging. |
| F – HA – Fills the appearance of superficial and medium wrinkles, stimulates collagen synthesis |
| F – LIFT + FACE- extreme firming and lifting care, stimulates stem cells |
| F – HAIR MEN – Stimulate the regrowth of hair |
| F – MESOMATRIX – Restructures and regenerates the skin matrix, treats scars and stretch marks |
| F – GLOW LIFT – Inhibition of melanin-generating enzymes such as tyrosinase, TRP-1, and TRP-2. |
| F – MELACLEAR- Intensive target treatment for brown spots and pigmentation |
What to expect with Potenza:
During the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort. The handheld device is then moved over the treatment area, delivering the micro needles and RF energy. Patients may experience mild redness and swelling immediately after treatment, which typically subsides within a few hours to a few days.
Results from Potenza treatments are gradual and typically become noticeable within a few weeks to months as collagen remodelling continues. A Minimum of 3 treatments is recommended for optimal results.
