How to compare POTENZA quotes after a previous treatment

When comparing a new quote with your previous POTENZA treatment, first check whether the proposed treatment area is the full face, a concern-focused area, or a partial area such as the cheeks or nose.

You should also ask which tip the doctor plans to use and why it is appropriate for your concern. At Min Clinic, different tips may be selected for acne improvement, pore tightening, or the application and delivery of a skin booster or topical medication.

The basic POTENZA treatment price at Min Clinic is set per session and does not vary according to the tip type or shot count. However, skin boosters, ampoules, and topical medications are not included in the basic treatment price and may affect the total cost when added.

Topical anesthetic cream is included. VAT is charged separately at the applicable statutory rate.

Min Clinic applies the same prices to international and Korean patients, and there is no additional card surcharge.

Device, treatment planning, and authenticity

POTENZA is a radiofrequency microneedling device manufactured by Jeisys Medical in Korea. It delivers radiofrequency energy through the selected treatment tip.

The doctor selects the tip and treatment settings according to the patient’s skin condition, treatment area, and primary concern. For a repeat treatment, information about your previous procedure and recovery may also be considered.

At Min Clinic, a new genuine POTENZA tip is opened in front of the patient before treatment. The patient can check the shot count shown on the device screen during the procedure. An official POTENZA clinic certification plaque issued by the manufacturer is also displayed at the clinic.

Min Clinic uses POTENZA within its approved indications. The clinic does not describe POTENZA as FDA-cleared specifically for pores or acne scars when that wording is not included in the relevant FDA clearance.

Consultation and treatment process

At Min Clinic, a senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation, and the patient’s skin is assessed using an EVE V MUSE analyzer.

This is followed by a detailed consultation with the doctor regarding the treatment area, skin condition, appropriate tip, and treatment method. The doctor then performs the POTENZA procedure directly.

A consultation generally takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes and may take longer for international patients when interpretation or a detailed explanation of the skin-analysis results is required.

English consultations are conducted with support from an interpreter. Chinese and Japanese assistance is also available.

Same-day treatment may be available with advance booking, depending on the doctor’s assessment and the clinic schedule. Patients traveling from Seoul Express Bus Terminal should request same-day treatment when making the appointment.

Appointments can be arranged through WhatsApp, KakaoTalk, or WeChat. WhatsApp messages are answered during clinic hours, and the clinic responds as promptly as possible.

Recovery and aftercare

Temporary redness, mild swelling, and warmth may continue for approximately one to three days after POTENZA. Fine crusting, flaking, rough texture, or visible needle marks may remain for around one week. Bruising is uncommon, but if it occurs, it may take approximately one to two weeks to resolve.

Recovery may take longer when stronger settings are used or depending on the patient’s skin condition.

Cleansing and makeup are generally possible from the day after treatment. Strenuous exercise and sauna use should be avoided for at least three days. Flying is generally possible on the day of treatment if there are no unusual symptoms.

Patients should contact the clinic if symptoms are severe, continue longer than expected, or cause concern.

Pregnancy and treatment eligibility

Min Clinic does not perform POTENZA or other laser, energy-based, or injectable medical aesthetic procedures during pregnancy. Skincare treatments may be available after consultation.

Patients should inform the clinic about current medications, active skin infections, open wounds, herpes, implanted electronic medical devices, or metal in the proposed treatment area before the procedure.

The doctor determines whether POTENZA is appropriate after reviewing the patient’s condition.
