Treatment Process
Treatment
First, a topical anesthetic is placed on the skin by your licensed Infinity Medspa and Wellness service provider. This process takes from 25 to 30 minutes. Once the skin is numb, the provider will start the microneedling treatment with the Potenza. Total treatment time from start to finish is usually about one hour.
Number of Treatments Needed
Benefits of the Microneedling can be seen after just one treatment. It is usually recommended that you do 3 to 6 treatments, spaced out between 3 to 4 weeks for the maximum results. Your Infinity Medspa and Wellness service provider will consult with you and prepare a package and regime specifically for your skin type and concern.
Cost of Potenza
Price varies based on how many treatments are purchased. Our licensed service providers will conduct a skin analysis during your complimentary consultation. You will then be given your specific treatment recommendations and come up with a treatment plans based on your wants, needs & budget. You will be provided with an accurate price estimate for your customized treatment plan prior to any treatment.
Pain
A topical anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area so there is minimal pain during this procedure. If you are experiencing any pain, please communicate with the service provider. The Potenza treatment is 100% customizable with the intensity level of the treatment. This allows the provider to adjust the treatment for you.
Results
As soon as your Potenza treatment has been performed, the tissues will begin the repair process. Most patients will note dramatic improvements in 3 to 4 weeks, however the full benefits from treatment can continue to increase over the following six months.
