Potenza is a one-stop solution for chloasma, redness, acne, pores, and all other troubles.
Potenza is one of the machines called microneedle RF, which uses a very fine needle to make a small hole in the skin and then emits radio frequency (RF) energy from the tip of the needle . It can be expected to improve symptoms such as chloasma, red face (rosacea), acne, acne scars, syringoma, open pores, wrinkles, and stretch marks .
Potenza can be set in detail, such as the length and number of needles (needles) and the output of radio frequency (RF) to be irradiated, so it can be expected to effectively improve symptoms according to each individual's skin condition and concerns .
Understanding the differences from Potenza, such as Dermapen and Sylfarm X, which are often compared to Potenza, and knowing the features and precautions of Potenza will help you improve your troubles and select a highly satisfying treatment . .

Three Functions of Potenza
POTENZA pierces the skin with a very thin needle with an outer diameter of 0.25 mm (approximately 32 gauge), and irradiates thermal energy called RF (Radio Frequency) through the needle through the hole.
Potenza has three functions: "skin regeneration (natural healing)", "skin tightening", and "drug delivery system" .
The skin is divided into two layers, the epidermis layer and the dermis layer from the outside, and the subcutaneous tissue (mainly the layer of fat) is below it. Potenza can deliver high-frequency (RF) thermal energy to the subcutaneous tissue without causing damage such as burns to the epidermis on the surface of the skin .
Skin regeneration with needles
The skin, which has been punctured by needles , activates fibroblasts in the dermis layer, the lowest layer of the skin, by the natural healing power that tries to return to its original state. increase.
Fibroblasts are cells that produce collagen and elastin, which are components that maintain firmness and elasticity. When fibroblasts are activated, the production of collagen and elastin is promoted, bringing the skin closer to its original healthy state .
By encouraging "skin regeneration" through the stimulation of pricking the needle, you can expect to improve acne, acne scars, fine wrinkles, and stretch marks. Thermal stimulation by high-frequency irradiation also has the effect of promoting skin regeneration.
Skin tightening with radio frequency (RF)
When the high frequency gives thermal stimulation to the dermis layer, the collagen fibers in the dermis layer immediately contract, resulting in a tightening effect .
This is because “thermal coagulation” occurs when heat is applied to the protein collagen, which causes it to shrink, just as meat shrinks when heated when cooking.
High-frequency thermal coagulation tightens the skin, which can be expected to open pores, improve sagging, and make the face smaller .
Improvement of drug penetration rate by drug delivery system
A drug delivery system (DDS) is a drug delivery technology that maximizes drug efficacy and minimizes side effects .
The epidermis of the skin has a barrier function that prevents the invasion of bacteria and drying from outside the body. On the other hand, active ingredients such as lotions, serums, and drugs are blocked by the barrier function and stay on the surface of the skin, unable to reach deep into the skin.
Potenza, however, creates microscopic holes in the skin, allowing the drug to reach deep into the skin where it cannot penetrate just by applying it. In addition, it is possible to penetrate the drug uniformly and accurately into the skin with a drug delivery system that uses Potenza's unique tip (disposable needle) "pumping tip" .
First, the needle is inserted accurately while sucking the drug-applied skin with the pumping tip. Next, high-frequency waves are applied to a minute hole made with a needle to stop the bleeding. Doing so prevents the drug from flowing through the blood. Finally, air is forced out when the needle is removed, thus forcing the drug evenly into the skin.
Potenza-only drug Makkumu
Potenza has a specially developed drug called McCoom, which uses a pumping tip to perform the treatment .
MakCom is a type of PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic-Acid) formulation. PLLA is a highly safe ingredient that is also used in medical surgical sutures . It is said to stimulate fibroblasts and promote the production of collagen. We can expect improvement .
When PLLA enters the body, it is decomposed and absorbed into water and carbon dioxide over a period of several months to two years . said to be at risk .
However, since MakCom is made with finer particles than PLLA formulations on the market, it is expected to be highly effective while reducing the risk of granuloma .
Potenza can be combined with many chips and radio frequency (RF) output modes
Potenza is a microneedle RF machine manufactured by Jeisys, South Korea. Potenza has two safety features that uniformly irradiate high-frequency energy according to the skin condition and treatment area.
The first is a function called Real-time Impedance monitoring technology, which automatically adjusts the irradiation energy by observing the body resistance value in real time on the touch panel to see if the high frequency being irradiated is too strong. This is a unique feature of the patent-pending Potenza.
The second is the dual generator & innovative needle array function, which is said to disperse heat energy evenly over the high-frequency irradiation area and prevent hot spots (localized heating) . Potenza has a different number of needles depending on the chip, but it is a function attached only to chips with multiple needles.
In addition to two safety functions , Potenza combines 14 types of chips and 4 types of high-frequency output modes, allowing you to select the optimal treatment for each individual's skin condition and concerns .
14 types of tips that expand the range of treatments
Potenza can use 13 types of tips with different needle lengths, number of needles, and insulation coating (coating to prevent heat damage from being transmitted to the epidermis). Combined with a needle-free diamond tip specialized for high-frequency irradiation, a total of 14 types of tips can be replaced for treatment .
Difference between two types of insulation coating
Potenza has an insulating coating on the needle to prevent heat damage to the epidermis . There are two types of insulation coating methods, I-Tip and S-Tip .
I-Tip irradiates high frequency waves from the tip of the needle, so it prevents energy overlap that outputs excessive high frequency waves and reduces the risk of side effects due to PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that occurs after strong inflammation). It is said.
S-Tip applies high-frequency thermal energy evenly to all skin layers except the epidermis. Since the energy irradiation is gentle, it is said that there is relatively little pain and short downtime .
Four Radio Frequency (RF) Output Modes Available
The Potenza has 4 output modes by combining two types of electrodes, bipolar and monopolar, and two frequencies of 1MHz and 2MHz.
Bipolar, also called bi-polar, applies shallow, even heat to the upper dermis. Monopolar, also called unipolar, applies heat from the deep dermis to the subcutaneous tissue. By working on the dermis layer, both can be expected to tighten the skin by thermal coagulation, but it is said that monopolar can be expected to have a stronger tightening effect because the thermal energy reaches the subcutaneous tissue deeper than the dermis layer.
The higher the frequency, the easier it is for the heat energy to remain on the surface of the high frequency wave.
Potenza is expected to improve various symptoms
Potenza is suitable for such people
- I want to improve melasma
- I want to improve redness and rosacea
- I want to cure acne
- I want to improve acne scars
- I want to improve syringoma
- I want to make my pores inconspicuous
- I want to make fine wrinkles inconspicuous
- I want to improve my skin
- I want to reduce stretch marks
Areas that can be treated with Potenza
It is said that Potenza can be applied mainly to the face and neck, but also to the body such as the back . Treatments such as nose only, cheeks only, and forehead only can be performed, but confirmation is required as it varies depending on the medical institution.
It can also be applied to the eyes and eyelids, and it can be expected to improve syringoma (a wart-like growth of several millimeters that tends to occur on the upper and lower eyelids, forehead, neck, etc.) .
Melasma treatment while suppressing recurrence
Differences in the treatment of chloasma and senile blemishes
Melasma is a type of blemish, and it is said that many develop in their 30s and 40s .
Senile pigment spots, known as blemishes, have a clear border between the color of the skin and the blemishes. The cause of chloasma is not clearly known, but hormonal imbalance, UV rays, and skin friction can also cause it.
In senile pigment spots, keratinocytes containing melanin in the epidermis of the diseased area proliferate. The main treatment for senile pigment spots is to directly pulverize keratinocytes that store and proliferate melanin with pico lasers and Q-switched lasers .
On the other hand, melasma does not mean that keratinocytes are proliferating, but melanocytes are overactive (state in which melanin is excessively produced), so when stimulated with a laser, etc., melanin increases and worsens. I have. It is said that how to suppress the overactivity of melanocytes is important for melasma treatment .
Potenza is a melasma treatment that does not stimulate melanocytes as much as possible
Until now, melasma treatments have included conservative treatments that use oral medications to monitor the progress, and laser toning that gradually discharges melanin pigment with a weak output. However, even with laser toning, there are concerns that melanocyte stimulation may be too strong, causing side effects such as exacerbation of chloasma and vitiligo (a symptom in which part of the skin turns white).
Potenza has a chip suitable for treating melasma, and it is expected to suppress melanin production while minimizing stimulation to melanocytes, so it is said that side effects such as exacerbation of melasma and vitiligo are less likely to occur.
In order to improve melasma, daily care is important in addition to treatment with a machine such as Potenza and conservative treatment. It is said that proper UV care and regular skin care guidance will prevent new melasma from forming .
Improving redness (rosacea) by inhibiting angiogenesis
Capillaries, which play a role in delivering nutrients to cells, expand even with slight stimuli such as temperature fluctuations, friction, and the effects of hormones .
When "telangiectasia", in which blood vessels expand abnormally due to the expansion of capillaries or poor blood flow, or "angiogenesis," in which blood vessels increase excessively, the capillaries become transparent on the face with thin skin. "Red face" may occur when the face looks red .
Rosacea is a combination of symptoms such as itching, hot flashes, and skin hypersensitivity in addition to the symptoms of redness .
In angiogenesis, VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) affects the vascular endothelial cells inside blood vessels, promoting cell division and "migration" in which cells move to another location. It refers to the formation of new blood vessels from existing blood vessels.
Potenza can be expected to improve redness and rosacea by suppressing angiogenesis in addition to burning excess blood vessels on the skin surface like conventional laser treatments.
Acne, syringoma, mortar pores, and strawberry nose are improved by destroying the sebaceous glands.
Acne is said to be caused by clogged pores due to disturbances in “turnover”, which is the metabolism in which the skin is reborn in a certain cycle, and excessive secretion of sebum, and inflammation caused by the proliferation of P. acnes, which is the cause of acne.
Acne often occurs repeatedly, so it is important to prevent the recurrence of acne and prevent acne scars in conjunction with current acne treatment.
Burn the sebaceous glands of acne with a single needle
Potenza uses a single-needle needle suitable for acne treatment to directly irradiate acne and burn the sebaceous glands .
By targeting and burning the sebaceous glands that secrete excessive sebum with a single needle, you can expect a fundamental treatment for acne that tends to occur frequently in the same place .
Acne is classified into four stages depending on the severity of the symptoms. Potenza can be effective for any stage of acne, from early stage acne (white acne) where the pores are clogged with sebum, to acne (yellow acne) where the symptoms have progressed and inflammation has reached the dermis layer.
Improves excess sebum secretion from mortar pores and strawberry nose
Excessive sebum secretion is also the main cause of mortar pores (a state in which the opening is larger than the original pore and is dented in a mortar shape) and a strawberry nose (a state in which sebum and old keratin are oxidized and the keratin plugs look dark). It is said. Potenza is also connected to the improvement of suribachi pores and blackheads on the strawberry nose .
Erickson's sweat glands overgrown with syringoma are burned
A syringoma is a small growth resulting from the proliferation of Ericsson's sweat glands, which are the tubes that secrete sweat.
Until now , syringoma was commonly treated with a carbon dioxide gas laser, but there was concern that it would leave a scar . Potenza is expected to improve syringoma by burning the overgrown Ericsson's sweat glands with high frequency .
Improves acne scars and stretch marks with skin regeneration and heat shrinkage
Potenza leads to improvement of acne scars and stretch marks through skin regeneration and heat contraction through needle stimulation and high-frequency thermal energy.
Potenza is equipped with a drug delivery system , and by using it in combination with a drug that promotes the production of collagen and elastin, represented by Makum, skin regeneration is promoted and a high improvement effect can be expected .
Acne scars can be expected to improve both unevenness and redness
Acne scars are leftover damage caused by inflammation on the skin caused by acne, and are said to be broadly divided into three types. There are atrophic scars that are sunken and depressed, hypertrophic scars and keloids that raise the skin, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and post-inflammatory erythema where redness is seen on the skin surface.
Fibroblasts are activated by inserting a needle and irradiating high frequency waves, which promotes the growth of collagen, which can be expected to reduce the depth of sunken skin .
High-frequency thermal energy can be expected to tighten and flatten the skin around scars that are loose or raised. Redness can also be expected to improve as the skin tries to return to its original healthy state due to skin regeneration caused by needle stimulation.
Improving stretch marks by activating skin regeneration
Stretch marks are a type of stretch marks caused by sudden weight changes. Stretch marks are said to be difficult to disappear naturally because the skin is torn and stretched, but Potenza can be expected to improve stretch marks by activating skin regeneration .
Tightens fine wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and sagging pores by using two electrodes simultaneously
Among the many Potenza tips, the diamond tip is the only one that can use both bipolar and monopolar electrodes in one shot .
The diamond tip is a tip that specializes in high-frequency irradiation without a needle needle, and can deliver thermal energy to the subcutaneous tissue, so you can expect a stronger tightening effect .
Diamond tips are used to tighten slack
Potenza tightens the skin with high-frequency thermal energy and stimulates fibroblasts in the dermis layer, which increases the elasticity of the skin, such as collagen and elastin, creating firmness, so it can be expected to improve sagging .
When using a diamond tip, heat energy reaches the dermis layer, so the skin becomes firmer, and it can be expected that sagging pores, fine wrinkles, and wrinkles on the neck will become less noticeable .
In addition, since heat energy reaches the subcutaneous tissue, it can be expected to improve nasolabial folds that are created by sagging skin because the cheek meat cannot be lifted.
Potenza's effects are fast and lasting
Potenza has three functions of "skin regeneration", "skin tightening", and "drug delivery system", and the skin tightening effect by high-frequency heat coagulation is immediate. Since heat coagulation immediately tightens the skin, it is said that the effect of tightening skin sagging and pores can be easily felt even with a single treatment .
On the other hand, the effects of skin regeneration using needles and high frequency waves and the effects of drugs, such as increasing collagen and elastin by working on fibroblasts in the dermis layer, appear gradually over time . It gradually appears after a period of time, but collagen and elastin are easily produced for 1 to 3 months because the metabolism of the skin is promoted .
The number of treatments and treatment intervals vary depending on the treatment content, and are performed at intervals of once a week to once a month. The recommended number of treatments and treatment intervals vary depending on the condition of your skin, so please consult your doctor during examinations and counseling at medical institutions.
Potenza Downtime and Precautions
Potenza is less painful and less downtime
Potenza is generally considered a painless procedure. Depending on the content of the procedure, such as a diamond tip that does not use a needle, it is possible to perform the procedure without anesthesia .
Redness may appear after the treatment, but it is said to subside in a few hours. In rare cases, internal bleeding may occur, but it usually disappears in about 7 to 10 days .
The skin may be rough due to fine scabs and peeling, but it will come off naturally in about a week to 10 days, so it is important not to rub or force it off.
For some people, needle marks remain for 3 days to a week, but they are only hidden by make-up. After the treatment, the pores may be clogged due to inflammation and swelling, and acne may occur temporarily.
Although it is a treatment with few side effects and risks, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation may occur very rarely . In that case, in order to avoid prolonging the treatment, it is necessary to take thorough measures against ultraviolet rays as much as possible after the treatment so as not to irritate them.
Precautions before and after receiving Potenza
If the injection site is irradiated with high frequency waves, the effect may be halved , so those who are injecting hyaluronic acid should consult a doctor during counseling before the procedure .
You can shower and wash your face on the day of the treatment, but be careful not to rub it . Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and drinking alcohol.
Since the skin becomes very sensitive after the treatment, it is said that it is better to refrain from using lotions that contain irritating ingredients such as retinol and hydroquinone. For about a week before and after the treatment, please avoid using cleansing foams containing scrubs and peeling products .
Bathing and make-up can be done from the next day, but make-up can be applied immediately after treatment only for melasma treatment . Some medical institutions recommend that you refrain from wearing makeup for a few days in the case of acne scars, so please check the details during counseling before treatment.

A machine that can be expected to be effective when combined with Potenza
Potenza and HIFU increase the effect of sagging treatment
Potenza uses a diamond tip that uses two electrodes, bipolar and monopolar, at the same time, and can be expected to have a tightening effect by delivering high frequency to the fat layer.
On the other hand, HIFU leads to a lift-up effect by irradiating ultrasonic waves to the fascia (SMAS layer) under the fat layer. There is no method other than hyphen that can approach the SMAS layer other than facelift surgery, which involves making an incision in the skin with a scalpel and pulling up the loosened SMAS layer.
Even with the same sagging treatment, which is more effective, Potenza or Hyf, depends on the site and the state of fat and sagging. Potenza and hyphen can be treated on the same day, so by tightening with potenta after lifting with hyphen, the irradiation energy can reach from deep to shallow layers, tightening and lifting, two sagging treatments .
