Why You’ll Love It
✔
FDA-Cleared Potenza Device: The Cynosure Potenza is the only RF microneedling platform that delivers both monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency at two frequencies — giving the provider four distinct treatment modes to match your skin type and concern.
✔
Physician-Led Practice: Every treatment plan is designed by Dr. B — a board-certified specialist in Internal Medicine, Toxicology, and Laser Surgery — who also lectures and trains other physicians on laser techniques.
✔
3D Baseline Imaging: Your first visit begins with a QuantifiCare LifeViz 3D scan — a full-face analysis that establishes your baseline and guides the treatment plan. You’re not guessing at results; you’re tracking them.
✔
Works on All Skin Types, Year-Round: Potenza’s RF delivery is safe across all Fitzpatrick skin types and can be performed any time of year — unlike some laser treatments that carry seasonal restrictions.

FAQs
How does Potenza RF microneedling work?
The Potenza device uses insulated microneedles to deliver radiofrequency energy directly into the dermis. The combination of micro-injury and thermal energy triggers the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production. Results build gradually over 4–12 weeks as the skin remodels from within.
Is it safe for all skin types?
Yes. The Potenza is FDA-cleared and safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI. It can also be performed year-round, unlike some laser treatments that carry seasonal UV restrictions.
What does it feel like?
Most patients describe a warm, prickling sensation during the session. Topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to keep discomfort minimal. Afterward, the skin typically feels warm and flushed, similar to a mild sunburn.
How much downtime should I expect?
Most patients experience redness, mild swelling, and skin sensitivity for 2–5 days. You can return to most normal activities the same day, but should avoid sun exposure, intense exercise, and active skincare during recovery.
How many sessions will I need?
This voucher covers one session. Most patients achieve the best results from a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Dr. B will recommend the right protocol at your consultation.
When will I see results?
Initial tightening and collagen building typically begins 4–6 weeks after treatment. Most patients see optimal results at 12 weeks after their last session in a series.
Can I redeem this as a gift?
Yes. Groupon vouchers can be purchased and gifted — the recipient books directly using the voucher code.
