Hello. I’m Director Park Tae-oh of Relieve Clinic.
“Whenever I put on makeup, my pores look even more noticeable.”
“I have uneven texture, so no matter how much I cover it, my skin still looks messy.”
These are comments I often hear in the consultation room from people concerned about pores and skin texture.
Especially during times like these, when skin tends to become more sensitive,
pores can look more prominent, and skin texture can become rougher.


Gangnam Potenza is also one of the procedures I often recommend to people with pore concerns.
Because it delivers radiofrequency deep into the skin and is used to address pores, scars, and skin texture issues together,
it is often used as a pore treatment solution.
Today, I’ll explain why Potenza is drawing attention for pore and skin texture care,
and what the 3 key conditions are for improving its results.
If you read this article to the end, understanding "Potenza" will become much easier.
Gangnam Potenza: If You Want to Properly Reduce Pores,
Know These 3 Conditions First

What kind of device is Gangnam Potenza?
Potenza is a device that delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis using fine needles.
Compared with traditional radiofrequency procedures, which mainly act on the skin’s surface,
Potenza can adjust the depth and intensity according to the skin’s internal structure, making precise stimulation possible.
It can deliver radiofrequency not only to the dermis but also to the subcutaneous fat layer without causing major irritation to the epidermis,
and its advantage is that it allows a combined approach across multiple layers, including collagen regeneration, scar tissue improvement, and smoothing uneven texture.

For this reason, Gangnam Potenza is not viewed simply as a “pore device,”
but as a device that is used in various ways to address concerns such as skin texture, acne scars, and elasticity.
Because it can be adjusted in many ways like this,
even with the same device, the outcome on the skin can differ depending on the conditions and method of application.
In the end, what matters is how delicately it is approached.
So what are the key conditions that actually affect treatment results?
Gangnam Potenza
3 Factors That Determine Pore Treatment Results
Skin with noticeable pores can go beyond a simple cosmetic concern and even affect first impressions.
If you are considering Gangnam Potenza, be sure to look at these 3 points that influence the outcome.
- The type and depth of the needle are different from the start.
Potenza is a device that directly delivers radiofrequency energy into the skin through fine needles.
The needles used are broadly divided into insulated and non-insulated types, and the choice varies depending on the range and depth of stimulation.
Insulated needles: a method that stimulates only the inner skin while minimizing stimulation to the surface
Non-insulated needles: a method that allows stimulation to spread throughout the skin
For sensitive or thin skin, insulated needles may be more suitable,
while non-insulated needles may be more appropriate for areas that require deeper stimulation, such as scars or uneven texture.
In addition, because the treatment depth can be adjusted from 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm,
it is possible to finely match the treatment to the thickness of the skin in areas such as the forehead, cheeks, and chin.
It is important to choose the needle that fits your skin condition.
- The stimulation should differ by each layer of the skin.
Pores are not simply a surface-level skin issue.
Because structures such as collagen in the skin, sebaceous glands, and the density of the dermis also have an effect,
the skin should be divided into shallow, middle, and deep layers, and radiofrequency stimulation should be applied in a way that suits each layer.

When approached in this detailed, layer-by-layer way,
-
in the short term, pore size reduction can be expected,
-
and in the long term, there may be an improvement in overall skin condition, including skin texture, density, and elasticity.
However, please note that this type of layer-by-layer approach should be adjusted by an experienced medical professional who understands how the skin responds,
so that irritation is minimized while effectiveness is maximized.
- Post-procedure care determines the result.
Because Potenza is a procedure that stimulates the skin, recovery care after treatment is very important.
Basic care such as calming care, moisturizing, and sun protection should be combined,
and these days, rather than applying Potenza on its own,
we sometimes recommend a combination treatment approach that uses collagen-activating ingredients such as Juvelook together.



With this approach,
not only pores but also various concerns such as elasticity, texture, and scars can be addressed together,
so the treatment plan can become much more flexible.
However, it may be applied differently depending on the individual’s skin condition and purpose,
and it is advisable to decide after sufficient explanation and consultation before treatment.

Gangnam Potenza,
Recommended for those with these concerns.
-
People who often notice makeup lifting or uneven texture standing out after makeup
-
People who need improvement in acne scars or skin texture
-
People worried about decreased elasticity along with pores
-
People who felt significant irritation from previous procedures
-
People who want long-term skin condition management
Potenza is suitable for those who want to create denser changes from within the skin.
If you are concerned about pores, texture, and elasticity, it is an approach worth considering.

What matters most is
understanding your own skin.
“Compared with before, it feels much smoother.”
“I think I can keep getting it regularly at this level.”
Patients often say things like this to us,
but for any procedure, the most important thing is knowing your skin condition accurately.
Whether it is pores or scars, the internal structure of the skin is different in each case,
so even with the same device, the outcome can vary depending on how it is applied.
If you are considering Gangnam Potenza,
first check with the medical staff around you about which method is right for your skin.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Director Park Tae-oh, Relieve Clinic
