POTENZA: AN INNOVATIVE AESTHETIC TREATMENT | DR MOLINARI, PARIS

The beauty and aesthetic industry is rapidly evolving, offering patients new opportunities to achieve significant skin improvement.

Among the latest advances in aesthetic treatment, Cynosure’s Potenza System stands out as a revolutionary solution.

Designed to address a wide range of skin concerns, the Potenza treatment offers highly attractive results without surgery or prolonged recovery time.

Understanding the Potenza treatment
| Dr. Molinari, Paris

The Potenza treatment is a fractional radiofrequency technology combined with micro-needling.

In simple terms, Potenza uses micro-needling and RF (radiofrequency) energy to stimulate collagen regeneration and significantly improve skin texture.

This technology is versatile, which means it can be used to treat a wide range of skin problems, for all phototypes, from the lightest to the darkest skins.

Potenza by Cynosure: which indications?
| Dr. Molinari, Paris

On the face:

Wrinkles and fine lines: Potenza radiofrequency microneedling can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines for smoother, more harmonious, younger-looking skin.
Acne scars: unsightly acne scars can be treated with Potenza radiofrequency to gradually reduce them over time. For this specific indication of acne scars, a combination with fractional lasers such as Fraxel (which remains the reference treatment) is often indicated.
Dilated pores: Radiofrequency combined with Potenza microneedling can also reduce the size of pores on the face and nose, helping to improve the overall texture of the skin. Skin is more harmonious, clearer and more even.
Even skin tone: Pigmentation spots, tobacco skin and redness can be successfully treated with this technology.

For the whole body:

Radiofrequency combined with Potenza microneedling stimulates collagen production for a lifting effect. The skin becomes smoother, firmer and tighter.

Potenza can be used successfully to treat sagging in many areas:

On the face: Dark circles and eyelids are improved, less wrinkled and lifted. This is a particularly interesting indication because few techniques have been able to achieve significant improvements in the eyelids, especially the lower eyelids.
The oval of the face can also be treated with Potenza to reduce jowls.
On the neck, to treat sagging, wrinkled skin or an incipient double chin, Potenza provides a significant lifting effect and visibly rejuvenates the area in just a few weeks.
The décolleté is an excellent indication for treatment with Potenza. The cumulative effects of the sun on this area generally cause the skin to appear uneven, thickened, wrinkled and micro-wrinkled. Potenza fractional microneedling will provide an overall improvement in these signs, better than other treatments currently available.

The same effect can be expected with 4 sessions of Potenza for wrinkled skin on the abdomen, arms or thighs.

How does the Potenza treatment work?
| Dr. Molinari, Paris

The consultation: your first in-office aesthetic consultation will include a careful examination of your skin and a discussion surrounding your objectives. This initial assessment is essential to ensure that the Potenza treatment is the most appropriate for you and to explain the benefits you can expect.
Treatment with Potenza by Cynosure: during the session, the Potenza device is used to deliver heated microneedles through the skin. This creates controlled micro-lesions that trigger collagen production. The treatment takes only a few minutes and is painless. Follow-up is easy. After microneedling with Potenza, the treated area is moderately red for a few hours to a few days. Four sessions are required, spaced approximately one month apart.
Recovery: you may experience some redness and swelling after the session, but this usually disappears quickly. Potenza does not require sun protection, so it can be used year-round.
Results: the results appear gradually in the weeks following treatment. Several sessions are required to achieve the desired effect, usually four. Maintenance sessions once or twice a year are useful to maintain the results over time: clearer, more even and harmonious skin.

The benefits of Potenza
| Dr. Molinari, Paris

Minimizes risks: Because it is non-surgical, Potenza has fewer risks and recovery times than many other aesthetic procedures.
Versatility: it is suitable for all skin types and addresses many concerns, making it adaptable and attractive to a lot of patients.
Natural results: Results are progressive and natural, giving your skin a more youthful appearance without looking artificial.

Summary | Dr. Molinari, Paris

Potenza is a major breakthrough in the field of aesthetics, offering a versatile and effective solution for a range of skin problems on the face and the body.

However, it is imperative that you consult with us to discuss your needs and determine if this treatment is appropriate for your skin and expectations.
