Potenza RF microneedling is a revolutionary treatment that utilizes ultrafine needles that penetrate skin to the depth of our choosing and release radiofrequency energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing process, stimulating production of collagen and elastin. Utilizing RF microneedling in a client’s treatment plan helps us reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, scars, stretch marks, and smaller areas of loose skin. This may be done on the face and body for any type and shade of skin and at any time of year.
When you book RF microneedling in Mansfield, TX at Premier Women’s Health, an in-depth consultation will precede your appointment to determine your needs. This allows us to discuss your skin type, your specific concerns and the treatment area you’d like to address.

Why try Potenza RF Microneedling with Premier Women's Health?
01
Increase in Collagen Production
The Potenza RF microneedling process is performed to encourage skin revitalization and rejuvenation. Your own skin cells do the work by generating new collagen, which leads to brighter, smoother skin.
02
Improve Topicals
After a Potenza RF microneedling treatment, your at-home skincare should improve significantly. Because the skin generates new collagen, your products will penetrate much easier. We recommend medical-grade skin care such as Beautiful Energy.
03
Cost Effective
Potenza RF microneedling at Premier Women's Health is a simple yet effective treatment for scarring and other texture problems. However, it's also very affordable given how much "heavy lifting" it can do. The Potenza platform is the only device offering four modes of energy delivery - better options to customize treatment to your needs.
04
Prevention
We lose 1% of our collagen every year as part of aging. Using Potenza RF Microneedling is a fantastic tool to help maintain the support of your skin and prevention of loss of volume and elasticity.

To prepare for Potenza RF microneedling with Premier Women’s Health, we suggest:
- Avoid the use of retinoids, topical antibiotics, exfoliants and other topical agents that increase skin sensitivity for at least a week before your treatment.
- Avoid use of chemical peels for 2-3 months prior to treatment.
- Wait a minimum of 2 weeks following neurotoxin injections or fillers.
- Accutane (isotretinoin) should not be used for 6-12 months prior to any treatment.
- Do not take anti-inflammatory and blood thinning medications such as ibuprofen, aspirin, ginkgo, vitamin E, fish oil, etc. for at least 3 days to avoid interference with the natural inflammatory process.
- Do not have any IPL/Laser procedures for two weeks prior.
- Avoid sun exposure and all tanning methods for at least two weeks.
- Do not wax, epilate, use electrolysis, or any other hair removal methods on the treatment area for at least a week prior.
- Do not shave the treatment area the day of the procedure to avoid irritation. If you have dense hair, closely shave the area the day before your appointment.
- Ensure you are properly hydrated as hydrated tissues have a better response and this helps the healing process.
- If you are prone to cold sores we will want you to have prophylactic antiviral medication regimen prior to treatment.
- Please arrive with a bare treatment area, clean of any lotion, oil, makeup, powder, perfume, or sunscreen.
Following RF microneedling at Premier Women’s Health, it is important to:
- Avoid using anti-inflammatory medications (ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, etc.) for at least a week. You may use Tylenol for any soreness.
- Wait at least 4 hours, then gently wash with a gentle cleanser and cool water, using only clean hands. Do not scrub or exfoliate the skin.
- Do NOT ice the face or use any arnica or bromelain to avoid interfering with the natural inflammatory process.
- Avoid strenuous exercise that causes sweating, as well as saunas, jacuzzis, and steam baths for at least 48 hours.
- Sleep on your back with your head elevated to minimize swelling or pain as needed for 2 to 3 days.
- Do not apply liquid makeup for 24 hours: mineral makeup is acceptable after the erythema resolves. Be sure to apply makeup with clean brushes to avoid spreading bacteria to the treated area.
- Do NOT pick, scratch, or scrub any peeling or flaking skin. Allow this to occur naturally and keep skin moisturized at all times with a hyaluronic acid serum
- Avoid topical skincare and Retin-A products for 5 days or until skin is no longer irritated. Avoid UV light and apply sunblock >SPF30.
- Hydrate adequately.
- Schedule follow up and repeat treatments after 4 to 6 weeks to continue to see results!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Potenza RF microneedling and traditional microneedling?
RF Microneedling is a popular treatment option at Premier Women's Health in Mansfield, TX. We use multiple fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body's own healing response, prompting your skin to produce collagen and elastin—the building blocks of healthy, youthful-looking skin.
RF microneedling takes this process to a whole new level. This treatment heats the underlying layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin. This means we can reach deeper layers of the skin compared to a traditional microneedling appointment. This can produce even faster, more dramatic results that last longer than microneedling alone.
When will I see results?
Because the technique behind microneedling utilizes your body's natural ability to produce collagen, results vary from person to person. However, most clients begin to see improvement about three to six months after their treatment.
As with similar treatments, results are greatly influenced by your lifestyle, sun exposure, diet, and the use of effective skincare products. That said, your aesthetician will personalize an at-home skincare regimen for you to help maintain your results long-term.
How many RF microneedling treatments do I need?
For optimal results, we may recommend a series of three or more treatments, each scheduled four to six weeks apart.
During your initial consultation for RF microneedling in Mansfield, TX, we will make a personalized recommendation for the number of treatments you need. It may depend on your overall skincare goals, lifestyle, and budget. For example, if you want to treat deep acne scars or stretch marks, you may need more than three RF microneedling treatments to see optimal results.
Does Potenza RF microneedling hurt?
At Premier Women's Health, we dedicate ourselves to not only helping you reach your skincare goals but making you feel comfortable throughout the process. The feeling patients experience during RF microneedling is best described as a mild scratching sensation. You may also feel some heat and an occasional warm needle prick.
Before we begin, your aesthetician will apply a topical anesthetic to ensure your procedure is tolerable. If you have any concerns about the level of pain you may experience during RF microneedling, be sure to voice them! We'll be there for you every step of the way and will walk you through everything you need to know. We want you to not only feel prepared for your microneedling treatment; we want you to be excited about taking the steps you need to achieve your goals!
Is there any reason why someone shouldn't have a Potenza RF microneedling treatment?
If you have active acne, you should consider alternative treatments; the microneedling technique can actually spread acne-causing bacteria over the skin, causing new breakouts. Additionally, you may not be a candidate for microneeding at this time if: you have used Accutane within the last three months; have open wounds, cuts, or abrasions; have had radiation on your skin in the last year; have a skin infection or herpes simplex in the treatment area; have trouble healing; or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Your provider will review with you any precautions or contraindications.
