Is the treatment comfortable?
Yes. We apply a professional-grade topical numbing cream prior to treatment, and our clinicians pace every session with your comfort at the centre. Most clients describe the sensation as warm, tolerable and surprisingly brief.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients see beautiful results with a series of three sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. Your personalized plan — determined at your complimentary consultation — will reflect your skin's unique needs and goals.
What is the downtime?
Minimal. Expect mild redness similar to a light sunburn for 24 to 48 hours. Most clients return to their regular routine — and even makeup — the following day.
When will I see results?
Many clients notice an immediate glow and subtle tightening within days of their first session. True collagen remodeling is gradual: visible firming, lifting and refinement build progressively over 8 to 12 weeks, and continue to improve for several months as your skin produces new collagen.
Do you offer financing or payment plans?
Yes — we partner with Beautifi for flexible monthly financing on approved credit. Pre-qualification is quick, with no impact to your credit score, and most clients find a plan that fits their budget. We'll walk you through your options at consultation.
What's included with a Signature Series?
Every Signature Series booking includes a complimentary Vivier medical-grade skincare set, a $300 value carefully chosen to support and extend your results between visits — alongside priority booking, follow-up assessments, and an ongoing care plan.
What if I'm not sure which treatment is right for me?
Two easy options: try our Skin Intelligence Treatment Finder for a personalized protocol recommendation, or book a complimentary in-person consultation. There's no obligation either way.
Is this just a Potenza™ treatment, or something more?
The Skin Tightening & Lift Protocol is more than one device. Potenza™ RF microneedling is the structural backbone — it stimulates the deep collagen that lifts and firms — but your protocol is personalized. Where it fits your skin and goals, your nurse may layer in regenerative therapies like PRP (your own platelet-rich plasma), biostimulators, or a touch of precision micro-Botox to refine the result. We discuss exactly what your plan will include — and what it won't — at your complimentary consultation.
How is this different from Ultherapy, HIFU or a thread lift?
Ultherapy and HIFU work by delivering heat at one fixed depth and rely on a single energy modality. Potenza RF microneedling is more versatile: it combines ultra-fine microneedles with radiofrequency energy delivered to the depth and intensity ideal for your skin, allowing precise customization across the face and neck. Compared to thread lifts, our protocol is non-surgical, has minimal downtime, and stimulates your own collagen for longer-lasting, more natural-looking results. See the full comparison →
Is the Skin Tightening & Lift Protocol right for my skin?
The Potenza platform that powers our protocol is safe and effective for virtually every skin tone and type, and is especially well-suited to anyone seeking firmer, lifted skin without surgery. Your complimentary consultation is the best way to confirm candidacy and design a plan tailored to you.
What does it cost?
A single full-face session starts at $750. Most clients choose a series of three sessions, which reduces the per-treatment cost and includes a complimentary Vivier medical-grade skincare set valued at $300. Pay-over-time financing is available through our partner Beautifi, with payments as low as $49 per month on approved credit. We'll walk you through every option transparently at your complimentary consultation.
Who performs the treatment?
Every Skin Tightening & Lift treatment at Pureté is performed by a registered nurse with 10+ years of dedicated medical aesthetics experience, under the medical direction of Yi Sun, NP.
