Event from 99,000 KRW~ Potenza Needle RF

Potenza Needle RF delivers high-frequency energy deep into the dermis using microneedles, while minimizing surface irritation. After the procedure, there is little to no dead skin, and redness usually subsides within half a day to three days. This makes Potenza a comfortable choice for those who found the redness reaction of Fraxel treatment bothersome.

While it can vary depending on the patient's skin condition, we generally recommend receiving about 3 sessions at intervals of 3-4 weeks.

Potenza is a fractional treatment method that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy. Tiny needles penetrate the skin to a controlled depth, inducing skin regeneration, while simultaneously delivering RF energy precisely to help improve scars, pores, and excessive sebum secretion.

Potenza Needle RF inserts micro-needles into the skin and delivers RF energy to the dermis layer to induce collagen remodeling. It is one of the treatments widely used to improve enlarged pores by simultaneously managing skin elasticity around sagging pores and skin texture. However, since pores have various causes such as sebum secretion, skin elasticity, and acne scars, it is important to adjust the needle depth and energy settings according to the shape of the pores and skin condition.

Potenza Needle RF can be used to manage indented acne scars and irregular skin texture. It uses micro-needles to deliver RF thermal energy to the required depth of scarred skin, promoting the skin's natural recovery and collagen remodeling. However, since acne scars differ in shape and depth (such as rolling, boxcar, and icepick scars), it is often more effective to consider other treatments in conjunction with Potenza, rather than treating all types of scars solely with Potenza.

For purposes such as improving pores, acne scars, or skin texture, it is common to consider about 3 repeated sessions as a basic course of treatment. While some people may notice skin changes after just one session, pores and scars often require structural remodeling of the skin, so it is recommended to observe changes through repeated treatments. However, the necessary number of sessions can vary depending on the extent of pores and scars, skin condition, and the treatment settings used.

Both N-25 and CP-25 are Potenza tips that use 25 micro-needles, but they differ in their treatment objectives. The N-25 tip can be used when the focus is on remodeling the skin itself, such as for pores, skin texture, and scars, using micro-needles and RF energy. The CP-25 pumping tip is designed to assist in the delivery of skin boosters applied to the skin, by utilizing its pumping function in conjunction with Needle RF. Therefore, the choice depends not simply on which tip is better, but on whether the primary goal is skin remodeling with Potenza RF itself, or if skin boosters like JUVÉLOOK will be used in conjunction.

Depending on your skin condition, a combination of Potenza and JUVÉLOOK can be considered. When using the Potenza CP-25 pumping tip, micro-needles and RF energy stimulate the skin while allowing for the simultaneous use of skin boosters like JUVÉLOOK. This combination is suitable if you wish to manage pores or skin texture with RF while also using a collagen booster. However, the necessary dosage and treatment method may vary depending on your skin condition and desired outcome.

The difference between 350 shots and 600 shots primarily lies in the treatment area that can be covered and the number of shots that can be applied repeatedly. It does not mean that a single RF energy shot in a 600-shot treatment is stronger than in a 350-shot treatment. More shots allow for a wider treatment across the entire face or additional energy distribution to areas with concentrated pores and scars. Therefore, rather than simply assuming that a higher shot count is always better, it is important to use a sufficient number of shots appropriate for the face size, skin condition, and the extent of pores and scars.

Potenza is not a treatment where all changes are completed immediately after the procedure. After the treatment, as skin recovery and collagen remodeling progress, changes in skin texture, elasticity, pores, or scars are gradually observed over several weeks. Changes in skin texture are often felt relatively sooner, while skin concerns requiring structural changes, such as pores or scars, often show gradual changes after repeated treatments. The timing and extent of the effects vary individually.

After Potenza treatment, individuals may experience temporary redness, warmth, or mild swelling, which usually subsides within a few hours to 1-3 days. If the treatment depth or energy is high, small needle marks, tiny scabs, or a rough skin texture may persist for a few days. Recovery speed varies individually depending on skin condition and treatment method.

Both treatments can be used for skin regeneration and remodeling, but they differ in how they deliver energy. Fractional laser creates microscopic thermal damage zones in the skin using laser energy, while Potenza inserts micro-needles into the skin and delivers RF energy internally through the needles. Therefore, there can be differences in skin surface response, downtime, and the depth to which energy is delivered. It is best to determine which method is more suitable by considering the shape of pores and scars, skin thickness, desired recovery period, and other factors.

On the day of the procedure, it is best to avoid strong stimulation to the skin as it may be sensitive and microscopic needle pathways may still be present. The timing for starting face washing and makeup can vary depending on the treatment depth and skin reaction, but generally, it is recommended to start gently after the skin's redness and irritation have subsided. Immediately after the procedure, it is advisable to avoid using irritating products such as scrubs, peels, or retinols.
