San Diego, CA – “Roll back the hands of time and keep them from moving forward.” That’s the idea behind the “Wrinkle Eraser” treatment, done with new Potenza RF Microneedling combined with alternating Botox injections. Potenza RF microneedling treats the top layer of the skin and triggers the body’s natural healing process. Treatments spur generation of new collagen and elastin.

For most patients I usually inject Botox one to two weeks after their first Potenza treatment. Then we can plan their next Potenza treatment in four to five weeks after their previous treatment. Botox keeps time from moving forward and Potenza rolls exiting lines and winkles back.

The benefits of Potenza RF treatments are not limited to fine lines and wrinkles.Sagging skin, acne scarring, pore size and skin texture on the face and neck are all improved. Unlike traditional microneedling, Potenza RF is also effective for skin tightening, all with minimal downtime. The technology allows me to perform both shallow and deep treatments tailored for different skin types and conditions.

How does Potenza RF Microneedling work?
The patient’s makeup is removed and the skin is cleansed. Then a topical numbing cream is applied. Treatments are done with a hand piece containing a microneedle tip which is placed on the outer layer of the skin. The microneedles penetrate the tissue as the monopolar or bipolar radio frequency energy is applied to the treatment area. The body’s natural healing process is triggered, with production of new collagen and elastin occurring over four to six weeks after treatment. Each treatment session will usually take about an hour.

The number of treatments needed will depend on the patient’s skin condition and desired results. Most patients will have three to four treatments spaced six weeks apart and will see optimum results about twelve weeks after their last Potenza RF treatment.
