The popularity of microneedling has increased by 7.8 percent in the past couple of years, with more people discovering its collagen-inducing properties. Thousands of people who have tried radiofrequency microneedling have seen drastic improvement in their skin – but can their results be even further improved?
The answer to that is: yes. Topical treatments and serums have been used to enhance the efficiency of radiofrequency microneedling treatments. However, we’ve found that SKINVIVE™ treatments are just as efficient or in some cases, even better than the average topical treatment. In this blog, we will explain why that’s the case.
What Is the Potenza™ Treatment?
The Potenza™ treatment is an advanced technology that combines microneedling and radiofrequency to rejuvenate the skin. The microneedling portion uses very small, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, leading to a higher production of elastin and collagen, two compounds necessary to uphold the skin structure.
When combined with radiofrequency (RF), the healing process is triggered even deeper, heating the tissue. This offers a skin tightening effect, which can make you look more youthful in the long term. The treatment may be adjusted for various types of skin, and the RF can reach different levels in the dermis to reduce concerns like sagging, wrinkles, and acne scars.
Why Pair Topical Treatments with Potenza™?
When you add topical treatments to a radiofrequency microneedling treatment, the result of the procedure is enhanced. Potenza™ pokes tiny holes in the skin, allowing the serums and topical products to enter easily. However, when SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is used, the benefits can go even deeper (literally).
Once SKINVIVE™ is applied, the needles deliver the substance at superficial levels of the skin, adding more moisture to target areas. When combined with Potenza™, the channels are already formed, allowing the active ingredients of SKINVIVE™ to seep even deeper. This ensures the skin obtains maximum hydration, enjoying the reparative effect of the product.
Benefits of SKINVIVE™ After Potenza™
Pairing your Potenza™ microneedling radiofrequency treatment with SKINVIVE™ can bring a series of benefits, including the following:
- Skin Smoothing Properties: Potenza™ stimulates the body’s natural healing system, encouraging cell turnover and renewed collagen production. This smooths out the skin’s texture, reducing imperfections like fine lines, acne scars, and enlarged pores. Hyaluronic acid holds similar skin-firming properties, tightening and smoothing the skin. The compound can also reduce inflammation, making the skin even smoother after the Potenza™ treatment.
- Deep Moisturizing Benefits: Potenza™ temporarily opens channels in the skin, which allows the advanced hydrating formula of SKINVIVE™ to go deeper, the hyaluronic acid retains the moisture and improves the skin barrier.
- Skin Brightening Technology: After the microneedling treatment, the skin can more easily absorb brightening agents like hyaluronic acid and peptides. This decreases the dullness of the skin while evening out its tone, reducing a variety of imperfections. As the active agents in SKINVIVE™ are deeply absorbed into the skin, our patients can look forward to fewer dark spots and hyperpigmentation as they gain a brighter complexion.
- Collagen Stimulating Properties: Hyaluronic acid has shown an ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production. The deeper the nurturing substance goes, the more the deep-rooted imperfections can fade. This means the procedures can address wrinkles and skin sagging. With time, you can obtain a more lifted look as the two collagen-inducing technologies join forces.
