Last updated
What is Potenza and how many sessions do I need?
Potenza is a radiofrequency microneedling device: fine needles create controlled micro-channels and deliver RF heat into the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin. At JIA Skin Clinic Gangnam a session takes about 30–60 minutes including numbing, redness typically settles in 1–3 days, and most people need a series of about 3 sessions 4–6 weeks apart, with results building over several months. It is used for acne scars, enlarged pores and uneven texture.
Depth-adjusted RF for your skin concern
Scars, pores and laxity sit at different depths. Your JIA doctor adjusts needle depth, tip type and energy for each concern and each skin type.
Adjustable depth
Shallower settings refine pores and texture; deeper settings target scars and tightening.
Texture and firmness together
RF heat remodels collagen while microneedling resurfaces, improving smoothness and elasticity at once.
Suitable for many skin types
Because energy is delivered below the surface, Potenza can be used carefully on many skin tones.

Concerns Potenza can improve
Potenza is versatile and is often chosen for:
- Acne scars (rolling, boxcar, some icepick) — see acne treatment
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin texture and rough skin
- Fine lines and crepiness
- Mild sagging and early lower-face laxity
- Redness and inflammation with specific settings
Smoother, more refined skin
How a Potenza session works
Consultation
Your doctor examines scar type, pores, laxity and skin tone to set depth and energy.
Numbing
Topical anesthetic cream is applied for about 30–40 minutes for comfort.
RF microneedling
The handpiece passes over each area, delivering micro-needles and RF energy; it feels like warm prickling.
Recovery & series
Redness and mild swelling settle in about 1–3 days; collagen remodels over weeks, so a series is usually planned.
Who Potenza suits best
Before & after your treatment
- Expect redness, mild swelling and tiny marks for about 1–3 days
- Avoid make-up for 24 hours and active ingredients (retinoids, acids) for several days
- Use gentle cleanser, moisturizer and strict daily SPF
- Skip saunas, swimming and intense exercise for 2–3 days
- Not suitable with active acne infection, open wounds, pregnancy, pacemakers or a history of keloids — discuss with your doctor
Potenza questions, answered
Does Potenza hurt?
Numbing cream is applied first, so most people feel warm prickling rather than pain. Deeper settings for scars can feel stronger.
How many Potenza sessions do I need for acne scars?
Many people need around 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart; deeper scars may need more. Improvement is gradual and results vary.
What is the downtime after Potenza?
Usually 1–3 days of redness and mild swelling. Most people return to work the next day with gentle skincare.
Potenza vs Fraxel for acne scars?
Both remodel collagen. Fraxel is a fractional laser that resurfaces the surface, while Potenza delivers RF through needles below it, which can suit some skin tones and pore concerns. Your doctor may combine approaches.
Is Potenza safe for darker skin tones?
It can be used on many skin tones with careful settings because energy is delivered below the surface, though any treatment carries some risk of pigmentation, which your doctor will discuss.
