Potenza: microneedling and radiofrequency combined for regenerated skin
The Potenza by Cynosure pairs traditional microneedling with radiofrequency to stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin. At the Photoderma clinic in Laval, this platform treats wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, and enlarged pores on the face, neck, décolleté, and body, with minimal discomfort and reduced downtime.
How does the Potenza work?
The treatment relies on the use of fine needles that delicately perforate the skin, combined with radiofrequency energy to target the deep layers and stimulate natural regeneration. This unique approach improves skin texture and supports a lasting, natural-looking result, while respecting the surface epidermis.

Which skin concerns does the Potenza address?
Every protocol is personalized to your needs, thanks to a prior detailed consultation to secure results tailored to your skin concerns. Here are the five main indications of the Potenza at the Laval clinic.
Skin firming
In-depth action for visibly firmer skin. Tightening builds up over the weeks, as the collagen and elastin fibers regenerate.
Acne and surgical scars
Marked reduction in the appearance of acne scars and surgical scars. Texture evens out session after session for a smoother finish.
Stretch marks, including white ones
Softening of marks, including white stretch marks that are often harder to treat. Radiofrequency works on the tissues to restore uniformity and suppleness in the area.
Enlarged pores
Tightening of the pores for visibly more uniform skin. The skin's grain refines gradually, with a sharper result as the treatment plan progresses.
Every phototype
The Potenza technology is suited to every skin type. The detailed consultation sets the power, number of passes, and depth based on your skin tone and goal.
Protocol: duration, frequency, and maintenance
The Potenza follows a precise plan, built in consultation to cover your priority areas and secure lasting results. The guidance below comes from the protocol used at Photoderma.
During the series
- Session duration: 45 to 60 minutes.
- A series of 4 to 6 treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
- Treated areas adapted to your concerns: face, neck, décolleté, or body.

What to expect: results over time
The full benefits of the Potenza develop over several months, with lasting results thanks to the ongoing stimulation of collagen and elastin. Two stages take shape after the series.
From the first session
A visible improvement of the skin, with temporary redness and mild swelling similar to a sunburn, which disappear within a few days.
Over the following months
A gradual rebuilding of collagen delivers visibly regenerated skin, firmer, more even, and more radiant, for a result that lasts.
