Microneedling
Microneedling is based on the skin’s natural ability to repair itself.
Microneedling treatments create superficial “micro-channels” to the outermost layer of the skin. This process induces the healing process and promotes new collagen production.
Micro-needling has been shown to reduce the visibility of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, diminish hyperpigmentation, and improve skin tone and texture.
Microneedling Benefits:
- Little to No Downtime
- Improved Skin Texture
- Improved Skin Tone
- Stimulates Collagen Production
- Little Discomfort
How many treatments will I need to see results?
The number of microneedling treatments needed to achieve desired results varies based on individual factors such as the specific treatment area and personal aesthetic goals. You may see improvements within 3-5 microneedling treatments and continue to see improvements over time.
At Stratica Dermatology, we offer complimentary consultations with our expert nurses to discuss your unique needs and develop a personalized treatment plan. They can discuss your goals and guide the number of sessions required for the best outcome. Keep in mind that maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the results over time.
Is Microneedling painful?
The level of pain experienced during microneedling sessions can vary, and factors such as personal pain tolerance and the specific area being treated can influence the sensation. While discomfort during microneedling treatments is generally minimal, some individuals may experience mild sensations of pricking or tingling. Providers may use topical numbing creams to minimize discomfort.

Potenza
What is Potenza and How Does It Work?
Potenza is a versatile and innovative RF (radiofrequency) microneedling system that combines insulated microneedles with RF energy to remodel skin from the inside out. The device delivers controlled, short bursts of heat deep into the dermis, creating micro-coagulation zones that trigger your skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin—key to firmer, healthier skin.
A standout feature is its Fusion Tip, which simultaneously delivers topical serums into the skin while creating thermal effects—enhancing absorption by over 67% compared to other devices. This dual action supercharges results, using both RF energy and enhanced topical delivery for brighter, tighter skin.
Potenza Can Treat:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin laxity and sagging
- Texture irregularities, stretch marks and scarring
- Overall skin tone and brightness
- Safe and effective on all skin types, anywhere on the body, year-round
The system’s versatility comes from multiple tips and settings, including the exclusive Fusion Tip, allowing for fully customized treatments.
Cost
Pricing depends on treatment area, session length, and your personalized plan. Most sessions take 45 minutes or less. During your consultation, we’ll create a treatment plan tailored to your skin goals and give you a detailed quote.
Does It Hurt?
You’ll feel the sensation of microneedles and warmth—but the Potenza system is known for being well-tolerated and comfortable. Because the needles are insulated and RF energy is precisely delivered, discomfort is minimized. Many providers praise its patient comfort and customization.
To ensure your comfort, we numb the area before treatment. With numbing included, the total appointment time is about 90 minutes, while the treatment itself takes roughly 45 minutes.
What to Expect After Treatment
There’s minimal downtime. Mild redness or warmth may occur, but usually subsides quickly. Many patients return to regular activities the same day.
When to Expect Results
You may notice early improvements after one session, but optimal results typically come after 3 to 4 treatments, with collagen remodeling continuing for up to six months post-treatment. Gradual, natural-looking tightening and revitalization occur as the skin heals and rebuilds.
