Hongdae Potenza: A Complete Summary of the Differences and Precautions

Hello,

This is Director Oh Young-ju of Oblige Clinic in Hongdae ^^

If you are reading this today,

your pores may look more noticeable every time you look in the mirror,

or you may be looking into the procedure called ‘Potenza’ because you are concerned about acne scars.

You may also feel worried that your skin looks less firm,

but not be sure what kind of procedure would actually be effective.

You may hear a lot of people around you saying, “Potenza is good,” but in reality, it can be frustrating not to know whether it is really the right procedure for your skin,

or whether you can expect the results you hoped for.

As a doctor who listens to many people’s skin concerns every day in the clinic, if I had to say just one thing,

before deciding on a procedure, rather than simply following a recommendation from someone you know or a trend,

it is important to first determine whether it is appropriate for your skin condition.

Even with the same device,

the results can vary completely depending on who performs the procedure,

and how it is applied.

So today, I will explain how Potenza works,

how it differs from other radiofrequency procedures, and what you should be careful about.

I hope this article helps you choose a safer and more satisfying procedure^^

Potenza (POTENZA): What makes it different? Hongdae Potenza: A Complete Summary of the Differences and Precautions -1

The characteristic of ‘radiofrequency procedures’ is that they deliver thermal energy into the skin to promote collagen production,

and representative devices include Thermage and InMode.

However, conventional radiofrequency procedures apply heat from the skin surface to stimulate the deeper layers,

so there are inevitably limitations when it comes to thick skin or improving problems in specific areas.

But unlike these existing methods,

Potenza works by inserting fine needles (microneedles) into the skin and directly delivering heat to the dermis.

Simply put, while conventional radiofrequency procedures try to send heat inward by applying it from the outside of the skin,

Potenza delivers energy directly from within the skin.

To make it easier to understand with an example,

if you place a hot cup on your palm, the heat is transferred slowly (the conventional radiofrequency method),

but if you put your hand into hot water, the heat is delivered to the skin immediately (the Potenza method).

In this way, Potenza delivers heat in a concentrated manner, so its effects can appear quickly,

and it has the advantage of helping with a variety of skin concerns, including pore reduction, acne scars, and improved firmness.

For the advantages of the ‘Potenza’ procedure to be effective,

it is important to appropriately choose the energy intensity and tip type that suit your skin type.

Therefore, at the most basic level,

the skill of the medical staff inevitably becomes an important factor that determines the effectiveness of Potenza treatment.

First, Potenza is all about ‘customized treatment.’

Potenza is a device that can use more than 10 different tips.

Even with the same Potenza procedure, the results can differ depending on which tip is used,

and how the energy is adjusted.

The tip used for someone worried about pores and the tip used for someone needing improved firmness are different,

and how deeply the energy is delivered must also be adjusted individually.

Therefore, when receiving Potenza treatment, it is important to choose a clinic that accurately diagnoses your skin condition

and establishes a customized treatment plan.

Second, the know-how of experienced medical staff is essential for Potenza.

Potenza is not a simple laser procedure.

During the process in which the fine needles are inserted into the skin, the appropriate depth and energy must be adjusted

so that side effects are reduced and optimal results can be achieved.

If the procedure is performed by less experienced medical staff,

excessive heat may be delivered to the skin,

or conversely, sufficient results may not be achieved.

Therefore, for Potenza, it is important to find a clinic where the procedure is performed by medical staff with extensive experience.

| ​Potenza is recommended for people like this.​​🔹 When enlarged pores make the skin texture look rough​🔹 When acne scars are a concern​🔹 When sagging skin is bothering you​🔹 When you want a deeper lifting effect than general radiofrequency procedures​ |

Potenza is an innovative procedure that combines radiofrequency and microneedles,

but because the results can vary completely depending on which tip is used and how the procedure is performed,

experienced medical staff and a careful treatment plan are necessary.

Therefore, rather than deciding on a clinic simply based on the treatment cost or advertising,

I hope you will remember that it is important to receive sufficient consultation at a clinic that accurately analyzes your skin and provides customized treatment,

and then make a careful decision.

That is all I prepared.

This has been Director Oh Young-ju.
