Potenza is a procedure that inserts microneedles into the skin to directly deliver radiofrequency (RF) heat to the dermis. It simultaneously improves various skin concerns such as enlarged pores, acne scars, redness, fine lines, and elasticity, and can also be combined with drug delivery.
The needle penetrates the epidermis and precisely delivers high-frequency heat to the dermis, inducing collagen regeneration and tissue remodeling. It works broadly on pore reduction, improvement of acne scars and redness, and fine lines and skin elasticity.
It is suitable for cases involving a combination of enlarged pores, pitted acne scars, redness, and reduced skin texture and elasticity. As a dermal-stimulating type, it is advantageous for addressing deep concerns that surface lasers cannot adequately treat.
Typically, the effects accumulate when repeated at 3 or more times at 1-month intervals. The intensity and depth are adjusted according to skin condition.
Redness, mild swelling, stinging, and dryness may occur for 2 to 3 days after the procedure, but these usually subside within a few days. Moisturizing and sun protection are important.
Fraxel uses a laser to treat the epidermis and dermis, while Potenza uses a needle to directly deliver high-frequency heat to the dermis, resulting in less damage to the epidermis. It is used for scars and pores.
It is generally recommended to have at least 3 sessions at 1-month intervals, and the number of sessions is adjusted depending on the severity of the problem.
Yes, it is possible. Many dermatology and plastic surgery clinics in Korea treat foreign patients, and there are also many hospitals that offer consultations or interpretation support in foreign languages such as English, Chinese, and Japanese. On K-Dia, you can compare hospital information and real reviews, and consult directly via chat before your visit.
It usually takes about 1 to 3 days to return to daily activities, and the recovery period for redness and minor swelling is 2 to 3 days. If you are traveling for a short time, it is recommended to schedule your trip with ample time to check your progress immediately after the procedure, and to discuss post-return care methods and precautions with the hospital in advance.
Costs vary significantly depending on the hospital, the scope of the procedure, the equipment and materials used, and the anesthesia method. Since Korea has a well-developed infrastructure for procedures, making consultations and price comparisons relatively easy, it is recommended to compare quotes from multiple hospitals rather than relying on just one. You can check event prices and actual reviews by hospital on K-Dia.
