Potenza is designed to suction the skin while the needle is inserted, which is designed to be pain-free. However, pain during the procedure can be a concern for those who are sensitive to pain. So, finally, here are some ways to reduce the pain of Potenza.
Adjust the amount of heat to be irradiated
ポテンツァは、施術時に高周波の熱量を調節することで、痛みを軽減することが可能です。施術時の痛みに不安を感じる方は、医師へ相談して弱めの熱量から始めることをおすすめします。
それでも施術後の痛みや赤み、発疹が生じてつらかった場合には、アイスパックで火照った顔を冷やしましょう。施術後の痛みを軽減できる可能性があります。
Adjust the speed of needle insertion.
Potenza can also alleviate pain by adjusting the speed of needle insertion to a slower speed. The depth of the needle can also be adjusted. If you are prone to pain, please inform the clinic doctor in advance and have the procedure performed at a comfortable pace.
Apply anesthetic cream.
「ダーマペンの痛みには耐えられたけれど、高周波照射時の痛みが怖い……」そんな方には、麻酔クリームがおすすめです。麻酔クリームを塗ると、次第に皮膚の感覚が鈍り始め、ポテンツァの痛みを緩和することができます。
ただし、実際には「ポテンツァは麻酔しても痛い！」と感じる方も。痛みへの対応方法はクリニックによっても異なるため、カウンセリングの段階でしっかりと確認しておきましょう。
Use diamond tips
If you are concerned about the pain caused by needles, we also recommend using a diamond tip without needles. For Potenza with diamond tip,Tightens skin and reduces saggingが見込めます。ただし、肝斑へのアプローチや、ドラッグデリバリーシステムは行えません。
まずは、ダイヤモンドチップで肌が温かく感じる程度の高周波から体験してみましょう。
