POTENZA — Tip-specific treatment for acne scars, pores, redness, and melasma
POTENZA
Even with the same POTENZA, the tip, depth, and drug will vary depending on the purpose.
POTENZA is a treatment device that delivers RF using minute needles and special tips. At our clinic, we do not decide based on the name of the machine alone, but rather organize the treatment by sorting out the causes of acne scars such as unevenness, pores, redness, melasma, sebum, etc.
Are you concerned about acne scars or unevenness on your cheeks?
I want to correct open pores and rough skin.
Recurring acne and redness
I want to carefully treat melasma
I want to combine RF and drug delivery
Please choose according to your skin condition.
Even if they look like the same "pores" or "acne scars", the reasons why they stand out are different, such as sebum, inflammation, redness, scars, pigments, and skin thickness.
At POTENZA, we combine needle structure, depth, RF mode, and drug delivery to suit the purpose of treatment.
ABOUT POTENZA
What is POTENZA?
POTENZA is a treatment platform that combines RF (radio frequency) and multiple dedicated tips. Treatment using needles creates tiny holes in the skin and delivers RF thermal stimulation to the target layer.
Pumping tips use the pressure change when a needle is withdrawn to introduce drugs into microscopic channels. There are also diamond tips that do not use needles and single needles that treat localized areas, and their roles differ depending on the purpose.
The center of treatment design is not only to ``receive POTENZA'', but also to consider which problem to use, which tip, and at what depth.
TREATMENT OPTIONS

OUR POLICY
POTENZA treatment at our clinic
Rather than fixating only on POTENZA, we will sort out the necessary treatments based on the skin condition and scar shape.
1
Assess redness, depressions, and pores separately
Even for the same acne scar, the treatment you choose will differ depending on whether it is mainly redness, surface irregularities, or deep local scarring.
2
Combine full-field and focal treatment appropriately
We will compare POTENZA for the overall skin quality of the cheeks, TriFill Pro, Subcision, TCA CROSS, etc. for deep dents.
3
Check progress with photos
Check the before and after photos and skin reaction, and adjust the next depth, output, medication, and treatment interval.

What is used for drug delivery?
We will consider treatments such as McCoom, Jebel Look, and Botox depending on your purpose. Since each drug has different expected effects, risks, and domestic approval status, we will explain this to you before your treatment.

When can I wash my face and put on makeup after the treatment?
When you can resume washing your face or applying makeup depends on the tip you used and how your skin reacts. We will check your condition on the day of your treatment and provide you with instructions on how to take measures against friction and UV rays.
