CHARACTERISTICSPotenza is
POTENZA™ is a treatment that delivers high-frequency energy to the skin using ultra-fine needles called microneedles. By emitting high-frequency (RF: radiofrequency) energy from the tip and delivering thermal energy to the dermal layer, it activates the skin's natural wound-healing mechanism, supporting the production of components that provide skin firmness, such as collagen and elastin. This reconstructs the skin structure from within, addressing various skin concerns such as melasma, acne scars/craters, sagging, and fine lines. It is a treatment that offers rejuvenation effects, guiding the skin toward a youthful appearance while minimizing damage.
Customized treatments with the optimal tip for your specific concerns
Potenza offers a variety of tips tailored to specific treatment goals. By selecting the tip best suited to the skin concern you wish to address, it can effectively tackle a wide range of issues.
<Skin Concerns and Potenza's Expected Effects>
● Melasma (both cheeks): Directly delivers high-frequency energy to melanocytes to suppress melanin production. As collagen is also produced, it normalizes the unstable basal layer, considered a cause of melasma. Compared to conventional treatments, it carries a relatively lower risk of worsening or white patches.
● Pores, Acne Scars, Craters, Redness (Full Face): Micro-needling and radiofrequency stimulate the body's wound-healing response to support collagen production. Combined with the specialized formulation "McCoom7," it minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores and acne scars.
● Full-Face Tightening: Utilizes the needle-free "POTENZA Diamond Tip" to uniformly deliver high-frequency energy deep into the skin, promoting tightening. Alternatively, the "Iron" device—which combines microneedling and high-frequency energy—may be suitable for certain cases.
● Fine lines… High-frequency energy is applied to the epidermis without needles, stimulating the skin's wound-healing function to aid in its reconstruction. This aims to improve fine lines and skin texture.
● Recurring inflammatory acne and sweat gland tumors... Directly targets sebaceous and sweat glands with insulated-coated needles. Acts on the sebaceous and sweat glands causing inflammation without damaging the epidermis.
By utilizing various specialized tips, we address a wide range of skin concerns, including melasma, acne scars and pits, sagging skin, and fine lines.
Features a drug delivery system that delivers medication to the dermis
A key feature of Potenza is its specialized tip equipped with a Drug Delivery System (DDS) that efficiently delivers active ingredients to the skin.
Conventional microneedle RF treatments use ultra-fine needles to create microscopic holes in the skin, delivering radiofrequency (RF) heat. In contrast, the DDS-specific tip utilizes air pressure at the moment the needle is withdrawn, enabling uniform penetration of the medication into the dermal layer.
As a result,
● Stimulation via microneedles
● Skin restructuring through high-frequency heat
● Effectiveness of the active ingredient in the medication
This creates a synergistic effect across three areas.
Benefits
MERITAddresses various skin concerns such as pores, acne scars, and melasma
Potenza is a treatment that addresses a wide range of skin concerns, including enlarged pores, acne scars, and melasma. By reconstructing the skin, it draws out firmness and radiance from within.
Delivers the medication deep into the skin for maximum effectiveness
Potenza's proprietary drug delivery system delivers active ingredients deep into the dermis. The synergistic effect of the medication and RF treatment enables greater efficacy.
Minimal downtime, with makeup allowed as early as the same day
High-frequency (RF: radio wave) energy delivered from the needle tip can also help minimize bleeding, resulting in relatively short downtime. Depending on the treatment, makeup may be applied on the same day.

〈Medications Used for Potenza and Their Expected Effects〉
● Macume: A finely-particled PLLA (polylactic acid) formulation developed exclusively for Potenza. Supports collagen production and targets enlarged pores and acne scars.
● Rejuran: Formulated with PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) to support collagen and elastin production. Enhances skin's repair capabilities, improving firmness and elasticity.
● Jubellook: A formulation combining polylactic acid and non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid. It simultaneously supports skin hydration and restructuring, effectively improving fine lines and skin texture.
● GOURI… A liquid PCL (polycaprolactone) collagen booster. For natural lifting and sagging improvement.
To maximize effectiveness, we select medications tailored to your specific concerns. Please feel free to schedule a consultation to discuss your needs.
For treating crater-like acne scars and inflammatory acne
Potenza is a treatment that can effectively address crater-like acne scars, which have traditionally been difficult to treat. Crater scars occur when inflammatory acne reaches deep into the dermis layer of the skin, causing the skin to stop regenerating. In such cases, the skin rarely returns to its original state through natural turnover alone.
Potenza delivers high-frequency radio waves (RF) directly to the dermis layer via microneedles, stimulating fibroblasts. By supporting collagen and elastin production and aiding tissue repair in cratered areas, it can improve the appearance of indentations.
Furthermore, using a drug delivery system (DDS) to deliver active ingredients deep into the skin enables more efficient treatments.
It is also gaining attention as an approach to melasma.
Liver spots can worsen with stimulation, making treatment extremely delicate. Laser procedures, which were commonly used until now, involve applying light to the skin's surface and carried the risk of causing inflammation and worsening symptoms.
Potenza directly targets the melanocytes responsible for melasma, working to suppress excessive melanin production. It also stabilizes the unstable basal layer, considered a cause of melasma. By achieving the optimal energy level and irradiation time without damaging the skin, it addresses the risks of "worsening" or "patchy lightening" that were issues with conventional treatments. For those troubled by melasma, Potenza is one of the treatments that can be received with peace of mind.

Potenza Frequently Asked Questions
Q&ACan you feel the effects of Potenza after just one use?
Some people experience results after just one session, but we believe that multiple sessions can yield even better results.
What is the treatment interval and frequency for Potenza?
The recommended interval is once every four weeks. The optimal interval and frequency may vary depending on your skin concerns.
Is Potenza treatment painful?
You may feel a slight prick, but most people find the discomfort tolerable without anesthesia. If you're concerned about pain, anesthesia is available—please consult with us.
When can I apply makeup after Potenza treatment?
At our clinic, after DDR chip or diamond chip treatments, or acne mode (inflammation acne) treatments, you may wash your face and apply makeup starting the same day. For other modes or chips, only cream may be used on the day of treatment; washing your face and applying makeup are permitted starting the next day.
What are the precautions after Potenza treatment?
On the day of the procedure, please take only a shower and avoid bathing, strenuous exercise, and alcohol consumption. Bathing and makeup application are permitted starting the following day.
What is the difference between Potenza Diamond Tip and Hyaluronic Acid treatments for sagging skin?
Diamond tips use RF (radiofrequency), while HIFU uses ultrasound. Both are effective for sagging skin, but their mechanisms of action differ.
Can Potenza be administered during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
We cannot accept it.
What is the difference between Potenza and Dermapen 4?
Potenza emits high-frequency energy from its needle tips and uses a drug delivery system to deliver medication deep into the skin. Dermapen only stimulates the skin with needles and lacks a drug delivery system. Due to its drug delivery system, Potenza is said to offer greater rejuvenation effects (so-called “anti-aging”).
