Hello. I’m Dr. Jo Won-jin, and I’ve been seeing patients for 10 years.

Doctor, I had Potenza, but
my pores were still the same..
There are people who visit the clinic saying they tried Potenza but saw no change.
Potenza is definitely a good device, but if the results fell short of expectations, it may not be only a device issue.
Under the topic “If you want to tighten pores properly with Hongdae Potenza, be sure to check these 2 things,”
I’ll explain in simple terms why some people do not see results from Potenza, and the two key criteria to check before the procedure.

Potenza in 3 lines
A simple analogy for Potenza is plowing an old field and planting new seeds.
It creates tiny wounds in the skin with microneedles and releases radiofrequency thermal energy from the needle tips.
This stimulation encourages the skin to regenerate on its own and helps pores become firmer and more refined.

How medication penetrates during treatment with the pumping tip
Why Potenza had no effect
"I had it done by itself, but I didn’t see any effect," some people say.
To put it simply, it’s because they made a wound but didn’t apply ointment.
These people may have felt that nasolabial folds looked deeper or that their skin became more dull.

Just as crops won’t grow in poor soil, skin also responds slowly if there aren’t enough materials to make collagen.
At this point, what acts like premium fertilizer is a skin booster (such as Juvelook).
That’s why combining them creates strong synergy.

Some people worry about nodules when getting Juvelook.
So when considering Hongdae Potenza together with Juvelook, it’s a good idea to check whether the provider also has good Juvelook hydration techniques.
This is something that can be prevented.
Then, now for the main point. Why do results differ even when the same device and the same skin booster are used?
It comes down to the practitioner’s technique.
Please be sure to check these two key criteria I emphasize.
- Was it performed at the correct depth?
Depth accounts for 90% of Hongdae Potenza’s effect.
The skin booster and energy must reach the dermis accurately.
However, the thickness of our skin differs by area. The skin on the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin varies greatly.
When the practitioner has not used Potenza much, they may press the tip hard in an attempt to control depth.
If that happens, it may go deeper than the target area, causing energy and ingredients to enter the fat layer and be lost.
Then the effect drops sharply.

Going too shallow is also a problem.
The active ingredients need to go where collagen forms well, but if they are spread only in the epidermis, they won’t reach the important areas.
There is a manual mode, but clinics that are good at it usually set depth, energy, and pressure differently for each area.

- Was the proper energy delivered?
"If I want to tighten pores for sure, isn’t it better to have it done more strongly?"
Many people misunderstand it this way.
Think of cooking.
If you just burn it with high heat, a steak burns on the outside but stays undercooked inside. The skin is the same.
Excessive energy can cause side effects such as dermatitis or pigmentation rather than regeneration.

So stronger is not always the answer.
For the first treatment, the procedure is done at a strength that seems appropriate, considering the skin condition and thickness.
Then, taking the skin’s response and the degree of change into account, the intensity is increased for the second and third treatments.
(For long-term effects, it is usually done about 3 times.)

Hongdae Potenza: Remember this only
Here is today’s content in just 3 lines.
Potenza is plowing the field (stimulation), and Juvelook is fertilizer (materials).
If the effect was slow, there may not have been enough materials.
-
Correct depth: Check whether the procedure is performed at different depths according to your skin thickness (forehead, cheeks, nose).
-
Proper energy: It should not be about being stronger no matter what, but about a place that adjusts the intensity while observing your skin’s response.
Potenza is a treatment whose results can change completely depending on who performs it and how.
First and foremost, you should receive an accurate diagnosis to determine whether Potenza can solve your pore concerns in the first place.

Getting the right diagnosis at a trustworthy clinic is the starting point for everything.
How do you find a trustworthy clinic?
For those who may ask, I’ve organized how to choose a clinic below.
Please be sure to read it and I hope it helps you make a wise choice.
Thank you. This was Jo Won-jin.
