Skin concerns can occur at any age. In your younger years, you may be more concerned with pores and acne, while you may begin to experience wrinkles and dark spots as you age.
Microneedling with the Potenza system can be used to address a wide range of skin concerns and conditions. Some of the most common concerns microneedling can address include:
Most patients are candidates for microneedling as it can address a number of common skin concerns. To determine if you are a candidate for microneedling, you can schedule a consultation with Dr. Lee. During your consultation, he will examine your skin and discuss your goals for the treatment. He can then make recommendations on how to improve your skin by providing a customized treatment plan and discussing the number of microneedling treatments you may require.
Before the treatment begins, a numbing cream will be applied to ensure you remain comfortable. Once this takes effect, the microneedling can begin. Microneedling is performed using a small device that has thin needles across it. This is rolled over the targeted areas and can be performed in less than 30 minutes. At the same time, the divide uses a radiofrequency tip to deliver waves into the layers of the skin. The needles may cause pinprick bleeding, which quickly resolves. Once the session is complete, serum or cream may be applied to the skin.
