Unfortunately, as we age, our natural collagen production dwindles, declining to the rate of around 1.0-1.5% a year. This decline comes as a result of our Fibroblasts becoming less active, meaning that our existing collagen breaks down more readily. Among other compounds, ageing reduces the production of glycosaminoglycans which ensure the skin’s moisture, leading to the loss of integrity, general weakening and increased dryness. This unwelcome process leads to the emergence of wrinkles, sagging skin, and a loss of overall skin elasticity.
External factors such as prolonged sun exposure and pollution can exacerbate the breakdown of collagen in the skin. The direct and/or indirect uptake of airborne pollutants by the lungs or the skin can result in the intoxication of the cells in the body which, if prolonged, can result in the damage of proteins within the vital dermis layer. It has been noted that prolonged and unprotected sun exposure can cause the remodelling and degradation of collagen and elastic fibres within the dermis layer thus causing abnormality and general deterioration of the skin.
Ageing is a natural and beautiful part of life which you needn’t worry about but if you feel the need to intervene and reduce the progression of this process Cynosure have the skills, knowledge and tools to help.
POTENZA™ takes Radio Frequency microneedling to extraordinary heights with its extensive customisable options. These options empower POTENZA™ to effectively treat all skin types, addressing various areas of the body with rigour, regardless of the season.
Using radiofrequency energy alongside microneedles, the Potenza treatment triggers your body’s natural response, stimulating a higher level of collagen and elastin production. Compared to microneedling alone, such a treatment leads to superior skin revitalization.
Potenza has the ability to switch between different modes which, paired with a variety of different microneedling tips and treatment times under 45 minutes, ensures that every treatment can be personalised and customised to suit your needs.
Before your Potenza treatment you will be required to apply numbing cream, this will help to provide the most comfortable experience possible. Based on your skin concerns, the health care professional will then simply pass over the skin pressing tiny (micro) needles into the skin where required. Different needle tips can be added for different uses, such as our single needles are great for targeting specific blemishes.
Depending on the number of areas that are being treated, each session of Potenza treatment can be completed in just under 45 minutes. However you will also need to allow additional time for the numbing cream to activate.
The results after completion of your POTENZA™ treatment plan may last for years. However, due to the natural aging of the skin, results would appear to diminish over time. The longevity of the results also depends on your lifestyle and daily skin care routine. By maintaining the appropriate skincare
regime recommended by us, you will be able to prolong the results.
A good candidate for the POTENZA™ treatment is anyone who wants to address fine lines and moderate wrinkles on the forehead or around the eyes, texture irregularities on the skin, tightening to the skin, uneven skin tone from sun damage and acne scars.
