How it works

Traditional microneedling uses tiny, controlled micro-channels to stimulate collagen and allow regenerative serums such as PRF, PDRN, or CBDto penetrate deeply and boost healing, hydration, and overall skin quality. Potenza RF Microneedling combines these micro-channels with radiofrequency energy to tighten skin, improve elasticity, and target deeper textural concerns. Both approaches activate your skin’s natural repair process, leading to a smoother, healthier, more radiant complexion over time.
