What is "Potenza"?
POTENZA is an advanced skin beauty treatment device that combines RF (radio frequency) and microneedles. It can treat a variety of skin problems such as 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 power and promoting cell turnover.
Unlike conventional dermapens, it delivers heat energy directly to the dermis layer by emitting high frequency waves from the needle tip, efficiently promoting collagen production. Its biggest feature is the "drug delivery system," which uses air pressure to inject the drug evenly when the needle is removed, greatly improving the absorption rate of the active ingredient.
It also has a diamond tip that does not use needles, and can be used for shallow sagging. The needle depth and heat intensity can be adjusted, so it can be customized to suit each individual skin condition. It also has a hemostatic effect, so downtime is short and there is little pain, making it a popular choice for a wide range of age groups.

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.
-
CP-25
It uses a unique drug delivery system that uses microneedles and air pressure. When the needle is removed, the medicine is evenly injected, which is effective for treating acne scars and pores. When used in combination with RF energy, it can also improve redness.
[Effects] Acne scars, wrinkles, rejuvenation, etc. Pumping tip
-
series
This chip is specialized for the radical treatment of melasma, directly energizing melanocytes to suppress melanin production. It is effective for dullness and pigmentation of the entire face without the risk of pigmentation or white spots caused by conventional treatments.
[Effects] Red face, pores, melasma, etc.
-
series
By irradiating the capillaries in the skin with high frequency waves, new blood vessels are cauterized and redness is reduced.
[Effects] Red face, rosacea
-
Diamond tip
This non-needle type uses two types of high frequency waves to tighten the skin from the superficial to the deep layers. It is particularly effective for shallow sagging that is difficult to improve with HIFU or thread lift, and there is almost no pain or downtime.
[Effects] Skin tightening and sagging improvement
-
A1-15
A single-needle needle specialized for treating inflammatory acne. By irradiating the acne directly with high-frequency RF to burn the sebaceous glands, it is possible to treat the root cause. Although symptoms may temporarily worsen, you can feel the effects in a short period of time.
[Effects] Acne treatment

SFA chip
A tip that emits high frequency waves to the epidermis on the surface of the skin. Thermal cauterization temporarily forms small scabs, but after the scabs fall off, fine lines, tone, and pores improve. It is used as the final step in skin treatment.
[Effect] Improves fine lines and enlarged pores on the surface of the skin
-
DDR chip
DDR stands for "DEEP DERMAL HEATING" and uses bipolar radio waves to irradiate the dermis layer. After raising the skin temperature with DDR, the thermal conductivity is increased by using diamond tips and SFA.
Features and benefits of Potenza
-
Point
Corresponds to various skin problems
POTENZA's greatest appeal is that it can treat a wide range of problems that conventional treatments have limited treatment for, including acne scars, melasma, redness, pores, fine wrinkles, and shallow skin sagging.
There are so many concerns that it may be difficult to imagine, but during your consultation, your doctor will suggest a treatment that suits your concerns. -
Point
Unique drug delivery system
Potenza has various tips (disposable needles) depending on the purpose.Among them, the ``pumping tip'' equipped with a drug delivery function that delivers drugs directly to the holes drilled in the skin has a much higher drug introduction efficiency, allowing the necessary ingredients to firmly penetrate into the skin (dermal layer).
-
Point
less pain
Thanks to advances in technology, the pain has been reduced to half that of the company's conventional needle RF.Especially when it comes to treating melasma and sagging skin, it is so painless that it can be treated without anesthesia.
-
Point
less downtime
The bleeding is stopped by RF irradiated from the tip of the microneedle, so it is characterized by less redness.Make-up can be applied the next day, allowing for shorter downtime.
Potenza is the most advanced treatment for acne!
Potenza has a triple effect of ``wound healing process using needle puncture,'' ``tightening and tissue regeneration using monopolar RF irradiation,'' and ``drug delivery system,'' which is effective against acne scars and pores.
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.
Drugs that can be combined with Potenza
McCoom
POTENZA is an introductory drug that can be said to be synonymous with POTENZA, and it improves acne scars and pores.A PLLA formulation developed exclusively for Potenza that stimulates the production of dermal collagen when injected subcutaneously.It breaks down into water and carbon dioxide in the body over a period of several months to about two years, and is a safe ingredient that does not 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
Regular Botox is used to improve facial expression wrinkles by suppressing muscle movement.By adjusting this concentration and injection layer, it suppresses sebum secretion and sweating while preserving muscle movement, and has the effect of improving pore enlargement, fine wrinkles, and sagging.
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.
Potenza chip types
Crater, pore, and skin care treatmentCP-25
The CP-25 pumping tip uses a unique drug delivery system that uses air force to evenly inject the drug as soon as the needle is removed.
This system has made it possible to deliver many beauty agents to the dermis layer more efficiently than water light injections or Dermapen.
In addition, since strong needle stimulation and RF energy are applied, it is also expected to have an effect of improving redness.
series
Conventional melasma treatment using machines was a reactive treatment in which melanin could be temporarily excreted through toning, but the melanin tended to return to its original state once the treatment was stopped.In some cases, there is a risk that melasma may worsen or vitiligo, which looks like white spots, may form.
At Potenza, we use a completely new approach that directly supplies energy to the melanocytes that produce melanin, suppressing melanin production, and aiming for skin that does not produce melasma.This method is used to treat patients for whom conventional treatments have not been effective. It also opens up the possibility of improving melasma.
In addition, there is no need to worry about the risks of pigmentation, recurrence, white spots, etc. that can occur with conventional melasma treatments, and the treatment is expected to be highly effective.
Furthermore, using the same mechanism, it can be expected to improve not only melasma but also dullness and pigmentation on the entire face.
series
Facial redness can be caused by inflammation such as rosacea, telangiectasia, or acne.
Redness is caused by the color of blood vessels showing through, but it is caused by the creation of new blood vessels that are unnecessary.With Potenza, high-frequency RF energy suppresses signals (cytokines) that form new blood vessels, which not only eliminates the existing redness, but also has a therapeutic effect that makes recurrence difficult.
Diamond tip
Wrinkles and shallow sagging are caused by a decrease in collagen and elastin in the dermal layer.Collagen and elastin refer to the springs in bed, and play an important role in maintaining skin elasticity.
As collagen decreases due to aging and UV rays, the skin loses its elasticity and firmness, resulting in wrinkles and sagging.The diamond tip is a non-needle type that does not use a needle, unlike previous tips that use needles. By irradiating two types of high frequency waves in one shot, it is possible to tighten the skin from the shallow to the deep layers.
In particular, it can be expected to improve shallow sagging that could not be improved with HIFU or thread lift.
Because it does not use needles, it is easy to undergo with almost no pain or downtime.
We also recommend that you tighten the dermal layer with a diamond tip and then undergo HIFU or thread lift on the same day.
A1-15
Acne is a condition in which the exit of pores is clogged due to excessive secretion of sebum, causing infection and inflammation within the pores by acne bacteria.
Potenza uses a single needle specialized for acne treatment to directly irradiate high-frequency RF onto acne and burn the sebaceous glands.
Once sebaceous glands are destroyed, they are difficult to regenerate, making it possible to treat acne fundamentally.
Since the A1 chip concentrates energy in one needle, it is expected to improve acne that cannot be treated with other chips.Acne may worsen temporarily after the treatment, but if you want to see results in a short period of time, Potenza is recommended!
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 are not satisfied with the effects of conventional treatments, or if you are suffering from melasma for which there were no treatment options, we will recommend a treatment that is suitable for your skin condition through a thorough examination by a doctor.
Please contact us for a free consultation first.
Let's work together to improve your skin problems and get smooth skin.
P1-08
The cause of blackheads in the pores on the nose and cheeks is clogged sebum that oxidizes when exposed to air.
Sebum is secreted from sebaceous glands, tissues located next to pores. The T-zone is home to many sebaceous glands, making it an area prone to darkening.
Strawberry Nose Potenza uses a drug called Poreless to lift the sebum, then uses a peeling agent such as HydraFacial or HydraGentle to cleanse the clogged sebum, and then irradiates each pore with high-frequency RF using the one-needle Potenza. High-frequency RF shrinks the sebaceous glands, reducing the amount of sebum, making it harder for new blackheads to form, and the heat tightens the pores themselves.
SFA
SFA irradiates high frequency waves to the shallowest epidermis of the skin.The epidermis is cauterized and a very small scab forms over the next day.The crusted area may have a rough texture, but this is temporary.As the scabs fall off, fine lines, skin tone, and pores improve.The treatment is reminiscent of ironing as a finishing touch to skin treatment.
DDR
Bipolar radio waves are applied to the dermis layer, and the impedance and current density change, which increases the heat conductivity. There is no needle, so there is little pain, and the tightening effect can be increased by using a diamond tip or SFA after DDR.

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. On the other hand, Dermapen only uses physical stimulation with simple fine needles and does not have a drug delivery function. Potenza has a short downtime and can also be used for difficult skin problems such as deep scars and melasma.
- Is there any pain during the treatment?
- There is a slight tingling sensation during the procedure, but the discomfort can be significantly reduced with the application of anesthesia cream beforehand. Pain perception varies from person to person, but most people find it tolerable.
- How often should I have the treatment?
- For optimal results, we recommend every 2-4 weeks for melasma treatments and every 1-2 months for other treatments. More frequent sessions will produce better results. We will adjust the intervals depending on your skin condition and the symptoms you want to improve.
