For POTENZA focused on pores in Seoul, treatment is generally planned as a short series rather than a single visit. Sessions are usually spaced about four to six weeks apart, and three to five sessions are commonly planned depending on the goal.

What You Can Expect From a Series

Pores and rough texture often improve with a series because each appointment can build on the last. The plan is set to allow your skin time between sessions. This spacing helps you track changes in pore appearance and overall texture over time. Your doctor will align the plan with your skin goals.

Session Spacing and Adjustments

The usual rhythm is steady and consistent. Sessions are usually spaced about four to six weeks apart, and three to five sessions are commonly planned depending on the goal. Sessions can also be repeated based on how the skin responds after a single session. This approach allows your plan to evolve without committing to a fixed number before you see how your skin behaves.

Pricing Basics

Pricing is typically discussed per single session as the base unit. Package structures vary by practice, but the starting point is one session. Whether VAT is included or charged separately should be clarified up front. The final plan depends on your goals and how your skin responds across the series.

Common Situations and Concerns

  • Many people have both dryness and visible pores at the same time. Moisturizing routines support comfort, while an in-clinic series is planned to address pore visibility and texture.
  • You may wonder whether skin can feel different right after an appointment. The doctor explains what to expect for your specific plan and skin type.
  • If you have an important event or photo shoot coming up, share your timeline. A clear calendar helps schedule sessions with extra time between them.
  • Travel matters. A spaced series may require more than one visit to Seoul, so your plan can account for your dates.
  • Daily skincare should remain simple unless your doctor advises changes. Gentle routines are often easier to keep consistent across a series.

About Min Clinic

Min Clinic is registered as a dermatology clinic. Three doctors practice at the clinic, and two of them are board-certified specialists. Min Young-Soo, the chief director, is an adjunct professor at Hanyang University and was formerly deputy director of NB Clinic, Gangnam Station branch. At Min Clinic, all medical aesthetic procedures are performed directly by a doctor. POTENZA is a treatment that uses microneedles and radiofrequency energy at 1 MHz or 2 MHz. A senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation, and the skin is assessed using an EVE V MUSE analyzer. The doctor then provides a detailed consultation on the treatment areas and method, completes the medical assessment and performs the treatment directly. POTENZA is an RF microneedling device cleared by the U.S. FDA and approved by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. At Min Clinic, POTENZA is used within its approved indications. Basic POTENZA is priced per session, regardless of tip type or shot count. Topical skin booster application is not included. Anesthetic cream is included. A session can be booked for the full face, for a focus area such as pores or acne scars, or for a partial area such as cheeks or nose. Genuine POTENZA tips are opened in front of the patient before treatment, and the patient can check the shot count shown on the screen during treatment. The clinic displays its official certification plaque on site. Sessions are usually spaced about four to six weeks apart, and three to five sessions are commonly planned depending on the goal. Sessions can also be repeated based on how the skin responds after a single session. Redness usually lasts about two days, and fine crusting, flaking or a rough texture may last about one week. Face washing and makeup are possible from the next day, and flying is possible right after treatment. Same-day treatment may be possible depending on appointment availability and the doctor's schedule. Min Clinic does not perform medical aesthetic procedures, including POTENZA, during pregnancy.
