Is Potenza painful, and what kind of anesthesia is used?

Potenza is generally well-tolerated, with anesthesia chosen to keep you comfortable throughout. Depending on the procedure, Korean clinics use local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, and most discomfort afterward is managed with prescribed medication. Pain tolerance is personal, so discuss anesthesia options and pain management with a board-certified anesthesiologist or surgeon before your treatment.

How do I choose the right clinic for Potenza in Korea?

Choose a clinic with board-certified specialists, transparent pricing, and strong patient reviews. On K-Dia, 1 clinics offer Potenza, so you can compare doctor credentials, before-and-after results, and English-language support side by side. Verify the surgeon's specialty board certification, ask about complication rates and revision policies, and book a consultation before committing — this is a medical decision, not just a price comparison.

Things to Consider

The effects are not permanent, so periodic procedures are necessary.
It takes 1 to 3 months to feel the effects.
Severe sagging has limitations with equipment-based procedures alone.

Side Effects & Precautions

Avoid saunas and strong massages immediately after the procedure.
Please check for genuine equipment and accurate shots.
Please refrain from opening your mouth wide for 1 to 2 weeks after thread lifting.

This is general guidance; details vary by individual and clinic. Always consult a medical specialist.
