Quick answer

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.

Why JIA Skin Clinic

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.

Transparent planning

A realistic session plan and VAT-inclusive pricing, explained in English up front.

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.

Is it right for you?

Who Potenza suits best

Good to know

  • Avoid make-up for 24 hours and active ingredients (retinoids, acids) for several days

  • Not suitable with active acne infection, open wounds, pregnancy, pacemakers or a history of keloids — discuss with your doctor
FAQ

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.
