A new idea device that expands the possibilities of treatment with a needle tip equipped with the industry's first drug delivery mechanism.

Widely applicable to all skin types and all conditions

POTENZA is a medical device that outputs RF energy from the tip of a microneedle. Unlike conventional roller-type needles and needle pens that only provide the effect of the wound healing process, it is possible to expect the effect of thermal action at the same time, increasing the benefits for the patient from a single treatment. Unlike energy-based devices such as C-IPL and Nd;YAG lasers, POTENZA microneedle RF, which achieves effects through heat without reacting with pigments, approaches all skin types and all symptoms. This is an attractive device that can be used as a high-performance medical device that "doesn't collect dust in the clinic room."

Product features

Coated needles cause no heat damage to the epidermis, and even at high output, downtime is short and treatment is easy to receive.

In order to protect the epidermis from heat damage caused by RF energy, POTENZA's microneedles are coated with a heat-proof coating except for the tips*1. In addition, unlike conventional fractional treatments and microneedles, it is possible to significantly shorten downtime due to the high hemostasis effect due to the coagulation effect even when a needle is inserted, making it a high-output treatment that is easy to choose and be chosen as a treatment option. This is a medical device that is likely to be considered.

Equipped with a drug delivery mechanism that allows for uniform drug penetration into the needle hole and easy drug synergistic effects.

Although there is a strong need for drug combinations in acne scar treatment and skin rejuvenation treatment from both doctors and patients, conventional treatment methods use devices that ignore penetration efficiency. POTENZA's needle tip with a pumping mechanism that allows drugs to penetrate uniformly into the needle hole contributes to patient-centered treatment that pursues drug synergy.

Usefulness of pumping tips

Accurate penetration into a uniform layer is observed, which cannot be achieved with mesoguns where liquid puddles are observed or with conventional needle RF tips where drug penetration is not observed.

Synergistic effect of using RF energy wound treatment and PLLA formulation

Even with PLLA preparations, which have tended to be avoided due to the risk of granuloma, McCoom, which has fine particles developed exclusively for POTENZA, can significantly reduce the risk.

What is PLLA?

PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic-Acid) is a biodegradable polymer that has been widely used in the medical field, and is a component that decomposes into water and carbon dioxide within the human body over a period of several months to about two years. Since it is injected subcutaneously to promote the production of dermal collagen, it does not cause rejection or immune reactions in the human body. Please note that PLLA formulations on the market other than McCoom have large molecular weights and are not recommended for use with POTENZA.

Conventional toning treatments aim to improve melasma by gently promoting pigment excretion using weak output, so while some patients experience high efficacy, there is a risk of exacerbation and vitiligo regardless of the doctor's experience level. It is believed that this is a treatment method that can help some patients experience symptoms. POTENZA's melasma approach is a completely new approach that aims to create skin that does not produce melasma by suppressing "melanogenesis," which causes inflammation, and is a completely new approach for patients for whom conventional treatments have not been effective. It also opens up the possibility of improving melasma.

In developing POTENZA, we focused on the relationship between keratinocyte proliferation and angiogenesis, and identified parameters that act on VEGF-related factors that promote keratinocyte proliferation. This differs from conventional laser treatment methods, which have been thought to cause recurrence with treatment for the disappearance (burning out) of existing blood vessels.This is different from conventional laser treatment, which prevents recurrence by suppressing angiogenesis. ) It will be possible to make new proposals to patients as a treatment method.

With a wide variety of needle lengths, number of needles, insulation coating methods, etc., we support effective treatments that take advantage of their characteristics.

POTENZA has a flexible design that allows you to freely select combinations of bipolar/monopolar and 1MHz/2MHz output methods to fully utilize the characteristics of RF, taking into consideration the patient's skin condition and expected effects. Optimal treatment can be performed.

Examples of patient needs

POTENZA is equipped with RIM technology that monitors internal resistance in real time in order to deliver accurate energy irradiation to the treatment area. This function automatically adjusts the irradiation energy, which would be up to around 20% on non-equipped machines, to prevent unexpected burn risks.

POTENZA's multi-needle needle uses a dual generator & innovative needle array that evenly distributes heat energy to the RF irradiation area.
