Hello.
This is Jin-young Lim,
Chief Director of PIAF Clinic in Jamsil.
“Even after trying skincare products
said to be good for acne,
they didn’t work..”
“My pores had stretched out,
making my skin look uneven..”
You may have experienced something
like this before.
That’s probably why you’re looking
into Jamsil Naru Dermatology.
Hoping to confidently show your face
with a more self-assured look.
I took the time to write this post
for people like that.

Because I wanted to tell you about a way
to address both acne and pore concerns
at the same time.
That method is “Potenza.”
Potenza can improve not only acne and pores,
but also fine lines, skin texture,
and tone.
That’s why so many people
have been looking for it lately.
“Will it work for me?”
“What is the principle behind it?”
If those questions are on your mind,
please focus for just 3 minutes from here.
I’ll explain everything about Potenza,
from A to Z.

The principle of Potenza?
Remember just two things.
The principle of Potenza can be understood
by remembering just two things.
First, microneedles.
Second, radiofrequency.
You may feel confused
by the technical terms.
That’s okay.
I’ll explain in detail
to make it easy to understand.
First, microneedles refer to
“extremely small, fine needles.”
These needles reach the dermis
and emit radiofrequency.

“Where is the dermis?”
The structure of our face is divided
into six layers.
Listed one by one,
epidermis → dermis → fat layer
→ fascia layer → muscle layer → bone
That is the order.
Here, Potenza’s
small, fine needles
reach the second layer, the dermis.

At the tip of the needle that reaches
the dermis, radiofrequency is emitted,
which you can understand as
“high heat energy.”
Heat energy has
these effects.
First,
it suppresses the activity of sebaceous glands.
Second,
it induces collagen production.
The main cause of acne and enlarged pores
is sebum.

As you know,
sebum is oil.
When too much oil is secreted,
the pores become clogged.
The inflammation caused by this
turns into acne,
and the pores also become enlarged.
At this point, getting help from Potenza
suppresses sebum secretion,
which can improve the symptoms.
Of course, it is better to first
clean out the inside of the pores.
That’s why simple procedures like
Black Peel or Aqua Peel
afford a synergistic effect
when done together.
Also, radiofrequency creates tiny wounds
in the cells inside the skin.

During the healing process
of these wounds,
collagen is produced.
Just as when you fall and scrape your knee,
a scab forms and the injured area
heals on its own,
collagen is produced as the wound caused
by radiofrequency heals.
Collagen is a component related
to skin elasticity,
and the more collagen you have,
the firmer and smoother your skin becomes.
So far, I’ve explained the principle
and effects of Potenza.

Next, let’s look at pain
and side effects.
This is important,
so please stay focused a little longer.
Pain and side effects?
Don’t worry too much.
If you’re looking into Jamsil Naru Dermatology,
this kind of concern is natural.
“Skin procedures...
won’t they hurt a lot?”
As a practicing doctor,
I’ll be honest with you.
Potenza can be painful.

That’s because the needles not only pierce
the skin and go in,
but also radiofrequency is emitted,
which can create a hot sensation.
However, before the procedure,
a numbing cream is applied for about 30 minutes,
and the treatment is then performed.
If necessary, pain can be greatly reduced
with a nerve block injection.
So you don’t need to worry too much
about pain.
If I talk about side effects as well,
first let me address a misconception
about side effects.
Quite a few people think of side effects as
“something major happening to the body.”

In fact, that is not the case.
The side effects we refer to at
Jamsil Naru Dermatology are
“temporary reactions that can naturally
occur during the procedure.”

It means symptoms that anyone can experience
but that disappear within a few days.
So what side effects can Potenza cause?
Redness and swelling at the treatment site,
or bruising, are the most typical.
However, they usually ease gradually
within 2 to 3 days,
so there’s no need to worry too much.

It may also cause itching,
and for moisturizing,
we recommend applying plenty of
moisturizing cream and sunscreen.
Of course, please keep in mind
that pain and side effects can vary
from person to person.

So far, I’ve taken time to explain Potenza
in detail.
Of course, don’t just get Potenza blindly.
Depending on your skin condition,
the expected cost,
and the results you hope for,
a different procedure may be more effective.

Therefore, please visit the clinic in person
and take time for a consultation.
Personally, I recommend visiting
at least 3 Jamsil Naru Dermatology clinics.
That way, instead of a factory-like clinic,
you can find a place that provides
customized procedures
needed for each of you.

That’s all the content I prepared.
I hope what I shared today was helpful,
and I’ll wrap up here.
This has been Jin-young Lim,
Chief Director of PIAF Clinic.

Thank you for reading this long post.
Have a great day.
