Avoid Makeup: Avoid applying makeup for the first 24 hours post-treatment to minimize the risk of infection.

Cool Compress: Apply a cool compress for 10-15 minutes every few hours if you experience redness or swelling.

Immediate Post-Treatment Care
After your Potenza RF Microneedling treatment, it’s essential to take care of your skin properly to minimize irritation and maximize results:
Tylenol:
If you experience mild discomfort, take Tylenol. Avoid ibuprofen or aspirin, as they may increase bruising.
Antihistamine:
If you notice swelling, consider taking an antihistamine, like Zyrtec, to reduce inflammation.
MEDICATIONS
For the next 3 days, take the following medications to reduce swelling and speed up recovery:
Note: Your provider may prescribe prednisone if you're prone to significant swelling post procedure. Take as directed.
AVOID
Heat Exposure:
Avoid saunas, hot tubs, and hot showers for 24 hours, as heat can increase swelling.
Exercise:
Avoid intense physical activity for 24 hours to prevent swelling and redness.
Sun Exposure:
Avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen if you need to go outside. Sunscreen is crucial to prevent hyperpigmentation.
Active Skincare Products:
Refrain from using retinol, AHAs, BHAs, or other exfoliating products for at least a week.
For the next 3 days, stay away from:
Mild Cleansing: Continue using a gentle cleanser to wash your face without harsh exfoliants.
Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and minimize sun exposure to protect the treated skin.
Avoid Picking: If your skin starts to peel, avoid picking or scrubbing to prevent irritation and scarring.
Moisturize: Apply a gentle moisturizer twice daily to keep your skin hydrated and reduce dryness.

Post-Treatment Care
In the days following your Potenza RF Microneedling treatment, continue caring for your skin to support healing and achieve optimal results:
What to get excited about!
Want non-surgical skin tightening? Look no further! Potenza is our go-to treatment because it combines the power of two technologies: microneedling and HEAT! The results? Firmer, tighter skin with minimal downtime. Potenza is highly effective for improving skin elasticity, reducing sagging, and creating a more youthful appearance
Potenza delivers controlled micro-injuries to the skin with tiny needles while applying radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis. This combination triggers your body’s natural healing process, significantly boosting collagen and elastin production. The result is firmer, smoother skin with improved texture and tone. SIGN ME UP!
Potenza is highly effective at treating scars, including stubborn, "ice pick" acne scars. It penetrates deep into the skin to break down scar tissue and stimulate collagen production. This process helps smooth out uneven skin texture and promotes the regeneration of healthier skin cells. Over time, scars can completely disappear!
You can apply makeup 24 hours post-treatment if your skin feels comfortable and shows no signs of irritation.
Can I wear makeup the day after my Potenza treatment?
You may notice some improvement in skin texture and tightness within a few days, but full results develop gradually over the next 4-12 weeks as collagen production increases. The skin tightening and texture enhancements you see after 3 months are thanks to the treatment, not just drinking more water! It's easy to underestimate how much is happening beneath the surface.
How soon will I see results?
Avoid active ingredients like retinol and exfoliants for at least one week. Gradually reintroduce them as your skin heals.
When can I resume my normal skincare routine?
Mild redness, swelling, and a rough texture are common right after the procedure. However, if you experience any severe swelling, prolonged redness, or signs of infection, contact your provider immediately.
Reminder: neck and chest treatments take longer to heal and "tracks" from the needles may be subtly seen for up to 3 months. This is normal and desired!
