Potenza RF
Microneedling
Radiofrequency microneedling in Marylebone, London
At Marylebone Skin, we believe the best results come from treating the skin itself. Potenza radiofrequency microneedling works with your skin's natural repair process to rebuild collagen and elastin from within, gradually improving texture, tone and firmness.
The result is skin that looks healthier and fresher, and never "done".
Potenza combines two well-established technologies in one treatment: microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy.
Ultra-fine needles create tiny, controlled channels in the skin. At the same time, radiofrequency energy is delivered through the needles into the deeper layers of the dermis. This gentle, targeted heat stimulates the skin's healing response, prompting it to produce fresh collagen and elastin over the following weeks and months.
Because the energy is delivered beneath the surface, Potenza can address deeper concerns such as scarring and laxity while keeping disruption to the outer skin to a minimum.
What is Potenza?
Potenza can be used safely across all skin types and tones, including darker skin, when the correct settings are chosen by an experienced practitioner. Because the energy is delivered below the surface rather than to it, the risk of post-treatment pigmentation is lower than with some surface-based treatments. Your suitability will always be confirmed at consultation.
Suitable for all skin types
No two skins are the same, and Potenza is designed to reflect that. Needle depth, energy level and treatment mode can all be adjusted precisely, area by area. This means your practitioner can treat delicate areas around the eyes differently from areas of deeper scarring, all within the same session.
Every treatment plan at Marylebone Skin is overseen by an experienced medical doctor. Your treatment is based on a thorough assessment of your skin, your medical history and what you would like to achieve.
