When will the effects of Potenza begin to appear? For those who have such questions. Potenza is a treatment for a wide range of skin problems such as acne scars, open pores and red face. However, the length of time it takes for the effects to appear varies depending on the area to be treated and the condition of the skin. This article summarizes how Potenza works, the approximate length of time it takes for the effects to appear, and points to consider in order to realize better results. If you are concerned about the effects of Potenza treatment, we hope you find this information useful.
What is Potenza?
Before we tell you when the effects of Potenza will begin to appear, let's first review how the treatment works.
How Potenza works
Potenza is a very fine needle.A procedure in which small holes are made in the surface of the skin to deliver high-frequency heat energyWound healing is a natural part of the human body. People have an inherent wound-healing ability, and the process of repairing scars is designed to regulate turnover.Promotes collagen and elastin productionさせます。コラーゲンやエラスチンは、皮膚の弾力やハリを維持する成分です。ポテンツァで意図的に肌にダメージを加えることで、内側から肌を引き締める効果が期待できます。
また、ポテンツァには「ドラッグデリバリーシステム」が搭載されています。「ドラッグデリバリーシステム」とは、薬剤を真皮層まで効率的に浸透させるための技術。皮膚に刺した針が抜ける瞬間に空気が押し出され、その圧力によって薬剤が特定の部位や組織に均一に届けられるという構造です。
このようにポテンツァは、一度の施術で創傷治癒、高周波による熱エネルギー、薬剤による3つの効果を得られます。
What to expect at Potenza
The benefits you can expect from Potenza are manifold.
■Improvement of acne, acne scars, and craters
The high-frequency heat energy emitted from the Potenza's needle tip is used to reduce the acne-causingApproaches sebaceous glandsThe process of wound healing also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. In addition, the production of collagen and elastin is activated during the wound healing process. The increased elasticity of the skin can be expected to reduce the appearance of acne, acne scars, and craters.
■Improvement of open pores
Potenza intentionally damages the skin to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. As the amount of collagen and elastin increases, the skin's firmness and elasticity improve. By tightening the skin from the inside, open pores become less noticeable.
■Improvement of red face
One of the causes of a red face is telangiectasia. Telangiectasia is the dilation of capillaries due to inflammation. The capillaries show through the skin, making the face appear reddish. By applying heat to the capillaries, Potenza is expected to inhibit the sebum secretion that causes inflammation. This results inInhibits capillary neogenesis and proliferationThe redness of the face will be calmed and the redness of the face will be calmed easily.
■Improvement of spots, dullness, and melasma
There are various causes of spots, dark spots, and melasma, but hyperpigmentation caused by overactive melanocytes can be treated effectively with Potenza. This is because the thermal energy of the radiofrequency waves irradiated by Potenza is expected to inhibit the production of melanin. In addition, the wound healing process promotes the production of healthy new skin cells. The goal is to achieve healthy skin.
■Improvement of fine lines and sagging skin
Potenza is a treatment that normalizes turnover by applying needle stimulation and high-frequency thermal energy to the skin. In the process of promoting cell renewal, the production of collagen and elastin is stimulated. This helps to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles and sagging due to dryness.
When can I expect Potenza to work? Is it true that some people are not suitable for treatment?
Many people are concerned about when the effects of Potenza will begin to appear during treatment. Here we answer such questions as when the effects of Potenza will appear, how long the effects can be expected to last, and what can be done to enhance the effects of Potenza.
Estimated number of treatments and duration
It is difficult to say when the effects of Potenza will begin to appear as it varies from person to person, but generally speaking, after treatmentPeaks in about a month.のが通説とされています。これは、ターンオーバーが4～6週間の周期で起こるためです。
ただし、ポテンツァで効果を実感するために必要な治療回数の目安や頻度は、肌悩みによって異なります。深くへこんだクレーターや中々治らないニキビなどでお悩みの方は、下表を参考に治療スケジュールを立ててみてください。
| skin problems | Approximate number of treatments | Frequency of treatment |
| Acne | 1-3 times | Every 4-6 weeks |
| acne scar | 3-5 times | Every 4-6 weeks |
| crater | 5 to 10 times | Every 4-6 weeks |
| large pores | 3-5 times | Every 4-6 weeks |
| Facial Redness | 3-5 times | Every 4-6 weeks |
| Blemishes, dark spots, melasma | 5 to 10 times | Every 2-4 weeks |
| Fine lines and wrinkles, sagging | 3-5 times | Every 4-6 weeks |
Potenza's effects are not permanent.
In general, the effects of potenza last for a long time,About 1 to 3 monthsIt is considered to be a good idea. Therefore, even if acne scars and craters are eliminated, unfortunately the effect is temporary. This may be the reason why some people say on social networking sites and blogs that Potenza is ineffective. However, Potenza tends to stabilize the skin condition after repeated treatments. It is not permanent, but the effects are likely to last as long as you undergo the right number of treatments at the right intervals for your skin concerns.
If you want to increase the effectiveness of Potenza, don't space them too far apart.
Too much time between treatments does not eliminate all effects, but the possibility of diminishing effects cannot be ruled out. Especially in the early stages of treatment, the skin tends to act in an attempt to return to its original state, shortening the time period in which changes can be felt. In order to keep the skin healthy, the effect of the treatment will fadeTreatment every 1-3 monthsIt is advisable to repeat the process.
Characteristics of people for whom Potenza is not suitable
Those who fall under any of the following categories may not be eligible for Potenza.
- Allergic to metals and other substances.
- Pregnant or possibly pregnant
- while breast-feeding
- Pacemaker or metal in the body.
- keloid constitution
- Drug delivery drugs do not fit
In order to obtain treatment results while taking safety into consideration, it is important to have the doctor properly determine whether your symptoms and physical condition are suitable for Potenza. Be sure to resolve any concerns or questions you may have at the consultation stage so that you can proceed with the procedure with satisfaction.
To increase the effectiveness of Potenza
To enhance the effectiveness of Potenza, two caveats should be noted.
■Protect against dryness and ultraviolet rays
Potenza treatment involves the application of high-frequency thermal energy, which temporarily dries out the skin.Dryness reduces the skin's barrier function and weakens its ability to repair itselfThis is one of the most important factors. After treatment, please make sure to moisturize your skin more carefully than usual with lotion and cream. In addition, the skin is extremely sensitive and vulnerable to UV damage. Excessive production of melanin can cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, so be sure to take thorough measures against UV rays.
■Select the right drug for your skin problems
The key to increasing the effectiveness of Potenza is to choose the right agent for the skin problem. For example, agents such as "Satch McComb" for open pores and acne scars, "Beneb" for lack of skin elasticity, and "Snowflower Bloom" for dryness care are suitable. Since the effectiveness varies depending on the type used, you should share your skin concerns with your doctor during your consultation.
