Potenza™

Potenza™ is an advanced RF microneedling system that combines ultra-fine needles with radiofrequency energy. The needles create controlled microchannels while RF energy heats targeted tissue beneath the skin, stimulating the natural healing response and collagen and elastin remodeling.

Potenza™ stands out for its versatility and extensive customization options. It offers different radiofrequency (RF) settings that allow energy to be delivered more broadly across deeper tissue or concentrated within a more specific, targeted area.

Combined with adjustable treatment depths and multiple microneedle configurations, this flexibility allows your provider to customize the treatment according to your skin, treatment area and specific concerns.

Traditional microneedling creates controlled microchannels to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response. Potenza™ adds radiofrequency energy, delivering controlled heat into targeted tissue through the microneedles. This allows the treatment to address collagen remodeling and skin firmness in addition to the benefits associated with traditional microneedling.

The Tiger Tip™ uses semi-insulated needles designed to deliver RF energy at multiple levels within the tissue during treatment. This allows your provider to target different depths efficiently while maintaining precise control over the treatment. 

It combines RF microneedling with a dual-air chamber system that helps enhance the delivery of selected topical products into the skin.
