What Is Potenza?

Potenza is a radiofrequency (RF) microneedling system that uses tiny needles plus RF energy delivered into the deeper layers of the skin. It’s designed to improve texture, tighten skin, reduce scars, and stimulate collagen — combining microneedling and radiofrequency in one procedure.

Think of it as an upgraded form of microneedling that adds heat stimulation deeper in the dermis for stronger rebuilding.

How Potenza Works

Potenza works in two ways:

1. Microneedles — create controlled micro-channels in the skin to trigger healing and collagen production.
2. Radiofrequency energy — delivered through those needles to heat deeper tissue, tightening and remodeling with more targeted collagen stimulation.

The combination helps both surface quality and deeper structural firmness.

What It Treats

Potenza is commonly used for:

✔ Acne scars and other textural scars
✔ Fine lines and mild wrinkles
✔ Enlarged pores
✔ Uneven texture
✔ Mild skin laxity
✔ Loss of firmness
✔ Early aging signs
✔ Stretch marks (body areas)

It’s considered a comprehensive resurfacing + tightening option.

Modes & Customization

Potenza can be customized by:

• Needle depth — shallow for texture, deeper for firmness
• RF intensity — low for gentle remodeling, higher for tightening
• Single or blended modes — tailored to area and concern

This allows providers in Seoul to tailor protocols to face, neck, décolletage, or body.

What Happens During the Procedure

Before Treatment:
✔ Consultation and skin assessment
✔ Topical numbing applied for comfort

During:
✔ Microneedling with RF energy delivered in pulses
✔ Session usually lasts 20–45 minutes depending on areas

Most people feel pressure or warmth, but discomfort is controlled with numbing.

Recovery & What to Expect

Immediately After:
✔ Redness and warmth (similar to mild sunburn)
✔ Possible pinpoint swelling or mild irritation

Next 24–72 Hours:
✔ Pinkness fades gradually
✔ Some flaking or roughness may appear depending on settings

Weeks After:
✔ Collagen remodeling continues
✔ Texture looks smoother
✔ Tone and firmness gradually improve

There’s typically minimal to moderate downtime depending on aggressiveness.

Typical Treatment Plan

✔ Series of 3–6 sessions (common) spaced a few weeks apart
✔ Some choose maintenance treatments every few months
✔ Your provider will tailor based on goals and skin type

Results are cumulative — each session builds on the last.

Who It’s Best For

Potenza is ideal if you:

✅ Want texture refinement and firmness
✅ Have acne or other textural scars
✅ Notice early aging or laxity
✅ Prefer non-surgical rejuvenation
✅ Can commit to a treatment series

It may be less suitable for active cystic acne — underlying acne should be controlled first.

Aftercare Tips

✔ Use broad-spectrum SPF daily (very important)
✔ Keep skin hydrated and gentle
✔ Avoid intense sun exposure for a while
✔ Skip strong acids, retinoids, or abrasive products immediately post-treatment
✔ Follow your provider’s specific care instructions

Proper aftercare maximizes results and comfort.
