What is "Potenza"?
POTENZA is a skin-beautifying treatment device that combines microneedling and RF (radio frequency) to address a wide range of skin concerns, including acne scars, pores, sagging skin, wrinkles, and melasma. It uses ultra-fine needles (0.25mm) to create tiny holes in the skin, activating the skin's natural healing ability and promoting cell turnover.
Unlike a typical dermapen, it features high-frequency radiation from the needle tip. By delivering heat energy directly to the dermis layer, it efficiently promotes collagen production. Its greatest feature is its "drug delivery system," which uses the air pressure generated when the needle is removed to inject the medication evenly, greatly increasing the absorption rate of the active ingredient.
It also features a needle-free diamond tip, which can be used to treat sagging skin in shallow layers. The needle depth and heat intensity can be adjusted, allowing treatment to be tailored to the skin condition and purpose. The hemostatic effect means that downtime is relatively short and pain is minimized, making it a popular choice for people of all ages.

Doctor's recommended points
Potenza is a revolutionary machine in the beauty medical industry, as it is highly effective for treating a wide range of skin concerns, with minimal pain and downtime.
If you have not been satisfied with the results of conventional treatments, or if you are suffering from melasma for which there were no treatment options in the first place, let's work together to improve your skin problems and achieve clear, smooth skin.
Effects and duration of Potenza
Acne scars
In addition to needle stimulation and RF heat, a drug delivery system that evenly distributes medication promotes collagen production in the dermis layer, making it effective for improving uneven, cratered skin and acne scars.
pores
The RF heat energy tightens the dermis and targets the sebaceous glands, improving sagging pores caused by aging and enlarged pores caused by excess sebum, and improving skin texture.
Wrinkles and slack
By applying heat deep into the skin, it stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin. It also addresses fine lines and loose skin around the eyes, giving the skin a firmer appearance.
Stain
It features a mode that directly targets melanocytes and suppresses melanin production, improving melasma, pigmentation associated with inflammation, and dullness while minimizing the burden on the skin.
blush
This treatment uses RF energy to target the hyperplasia of capillaries that causes redness. In addition to improving existing redness, this treatment is also expected to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
Duration of Potenza's effects
The effects of Potenza generally last for about 1 to 3 months. To achieve and maintain better results, we recommend regular treatments depending on your symptoms and goals. The recommended treatment interval is every 2 to 4 weeks for melasma treatments and every 1 to 2 months for other treatments, with greater results expected with more frequent treatments. We will propose the optimal treatment plan based on your skin condition.
*The perceived effect and duration may vary from person to person and may depend on the symptoms, the tip used, and the number of treatments.
Features and benefits of Potenza
-
Point
Treats a wide range of skin problems
The Potenza introduced at Elm Clinic is a highly versatile treatment device that can address a wide range of skin concerns, from acne scars and melasma to redness, enlarged pores, and even shallow sagging. Because it covers such a wide range of skin issues, it can be difficult to imagine the results, but during consultations, our doctors will check your skin condition and concerns and suggest treatments that are best suited to each individual.
-
Point
Unique drug delivery system
Potenza is available with several tips (disposable needles) depending on the treatment purpose. Among them, the "pumping tip" is equipped with a drug delivery function that delivers medication directly through tiny holes in the skin, and is characterized by its high drug delivery efficiency. By thoroughly penetrating the necessary ingredients into the dermis layer, more effective treatment can be expected.
-
Point
Pain-friendly treatment
Thanks to technological advances, the pain has been reduced to about half that of conventional needle RF. In particular, when treating melasma and sagging skin, the pain is so minimal that in some cases treatment can be performed without anesthesia.
-
Point
Can be done with little downtime
The RF (radio frequency) emitted from the tip of the microneedle has a hemostatic effect, which reduces redness after the treatment. In many cases, makeup can be applied the next day, making this a treatment with minimal downtime.
Potenza is the most advanced treatment for acne!
Our Potenza treatment addresses difficult-to-treat acne scars and pore problems by simultaneously bringing out the following three effects:
- Wound healing: Activating skin regeneration with ultra-fine needle stimulation
- RF (heat): Heats the dermis layer to promote tightening and tissue regeneration
- Drug penetration: Drug delivery function delivers active ingredients deep into the skin
Drug delivery system
Potenza's drug delivery system is an innovative technology that combines RF (radio frequency) energy and microneedles. The needles create tiny holes in the skin, and as they exit, air pressure is used to evenly inject the drug into the dermis layer. This mechanism delivers active ingredients such as vitamin C, growth factors, and hyaluronic acid more efficiently than traditional percutaneous absorption, improving absorption rates. The depth-adjustable needles and thermal energy promote collagen production, improving acne craters and scars, and regenerating the skin. It is particularly effective in treating inflammatory acne, and has little downtime.
The difference between Potenza and Dermapen
Potenza is a treatment that uses RF (radio frequency) and is equipped with a "drug delivery system" that delivers heat energy to the dermis layer and promotes collagen production. This allows the drug to penetrate the dermis layer effectively. On the other hand, Dermapen (Derpeman) simply stimulates the skin with fine needles and does not have a drug introduction function. Potenza's features include fewer treatment sessions and short downtime. It is particularly effective in treating deep scars and melasma.
Potenza chips
Potenza can solve almost all skin problems with one device by combining multiple types of tips with irradiation settings tailored to your concerns. Each tip has a different needle density and length, allowing you to select the strength, depth, and range of irradiation energy.
We solve a wide range of problems, including melasma and recurrent acne that cannot be treated with conventional treatments.
-
diamond tip
This non-needle tip uses two types of radiofrequency waves to tighten the skin in layers. It is characterized by its ability to target sagging and wrinkles in shallow layers that are difficult to reach with HIFU or thread lifts, with almost no pain or downtime. Thermal stimulation of the dermis promotes collagen production, leading to improved skin firmness and elasticity.
[Effects] Skin tightening and sagging improvement
-
CP-25
This drug delivery tip utilizes a unique air pressure to deliver medication evenly to the dermis. Compared to water injections and dermapens, it can deliver cosmetic medications to the dermis more efficiently, and is used to improve acne scars and pores. Furthermore, by combining needle stimulation with radio frequency (RF), it also works to reduce redness.
[Effects] Acne scars, wrinkles, rejuvenation, etc. Pumping tip
-
S-16
This chip is specialized for treating melasma by directly energizing melanocytes and suppressing melanin production. Unlike conventional toning treatments, it aims to make melasma less likely to occur while taking into consideration the risk of recurrence and white spots. It can also be used to improve dullness and pigmentation of the entire face, in addition to melasma.
[Effects] Red face, pores, melasma, etc.
-
S-25
This tip uses high-frequency RF heat energy to target the hyperplasia of capillaries that causes redness. It reduces existing redness while suppressing signals related to angiogenesis, making it less likely to recur. It is used to treat recurring redness problems such as rosacea, telangiectasia, and redness associated with acne.
[Effects] Red face, rosacea
-
A1-15
This single-needle tip is specialized for treating inflammatory acne. It aims to fundamentally improve acne by irradiating each pimple directly with high frequency waves and cauterizing the sebaceous glands that cause it. Because it concentrates energy in one spot, it is unique in that it can easily treat stubborn acne that has been difficult to treat with conventional treatments.
[Effects] Acne treatment
-
P1-08
This is a specialized tip specifically designed to treat blackheads (strawberry nose). After cleansing the pores, a single needle irradiates the sebaceous glands with high frequency waves to reduce the amount of sebum. This not only prevents new blackheads from forming, but also tightens the pores with the action of heat, leaving the skin smooth and radiant.
[Effect] Strawberry nose

SFA chip
This finishing tip irradiates the epidermis with high frequency waves to refine the skin's surface. By applying heat like an iron, it targets fine lines, skin tone, and pores. After the microscopic scabs that temporarily form fall off, the skin's surface is left smooth and refined.
[Effects] Fine lines on the skin surface, enlarged pores
-
DDR chip
This is a tightening auxiliary tip that irradiates bipolar radio waves into the dermis layer, raising the skin temperature. It is needle-free, so there is less pain, and when used before a diamond tip or SFA, it increases thermal conductivity and enhances the tightening effect.
[Effects] Tightens the epidermis, and is more effective when used in combination with other tips

Drugs that can be combined with Potenza
McCoom
McCoom is used as the signature introductory drug in POTENZA treatment, and is used to improve acne scars and pores. It is a PLLA formulation developed exclusively for POTENZA, and when injected subcutaneously, it stimulates collagen production in the dermis. It breaks down into water and carbon dioxide in the body over a period of several months to approximately two years, making it a highly safe ingredient that is unlikely to cause allergic reactions.
Growth factor
Contains growth factors and cytokines that enhance skin repair and regeneration, increasing firmness and luster, and alleviating inflammation of damaged skin, improving fine lines and redness caused by inflammation.
Cytokines, which are biological signals that direct the rebirth of the skin, compensate for the functions lost with age while bringing out the skin's natural vitality and bringing new radiance.
Botox
Botox is usually used to improve facial wrinkles by restricting muscle movement. By adjusting the concentration and layer of Botox injected, natural muscle movement is maintained while suppressing sebum secretion and sweating, leading to the improvement of enlarged pores, fine wrinkles, and sagging skin.
juve look
Juvelook is a skin booster formulation that combines the ingredients of ``Poly-DL-lactic acid (PDLLA)'' and ``non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid,'' which are attracting attention in Korea.By producing collagen and elastin, it has the effect of improving enlarged pores, acne scars, fine wrinkles, etc.

FAQ
- What is the Potenza treatment?
- Potenza is an innovative treatment device that combines radio frequency (RF) and microneedles. It works deep into the skin to promote collagen production and effectively treat a variety of skin problems such as acne scars, enlarged pores, sagging skin, wrinkles, and melasma.
- How much downtime is there after the treatment?
- Redness usually subsides within the same day, and in most cases it will heal within two days. The needle marks will be less noticeable the next day. Microcrusts (very fine scabs) that are difficult to notice even if you get close will remain for about a week, but they can be covered with makeup.
- Is Potenza effective in treating acne?
- Potenza uses a special acne chip to directly target the sebaceous glands and effectively improve acne. Not only does it act on the sebaceous glands to suppress inflammation, but it also prevents acne from regenerating.
- How long do the effects of the treatment last?
- Generally, the effect lasts for about 1-3 months, but longer-term results can be expected with multiple treatments. Regular maintenance treatments are recommended to keep your skin in optimal condition.
- What is the difference between Potenza and Dermapen?
- Potenza is equipped with a "drug delivery system" that utilizes radio frequency (RF) technology, which efficiently penetrates the active ingredients into the dermis layer while promoting collagen production.
