At Min Clinic, POTENZA is performed directly by a doctor. The clinic operates one regular price per session, regardless of the tip type, shot count or whether the treatment covers the full face, focuses on concerns such as pores or scars, or targets a partial area such as the cheeks or nose.

Consultation and treatment planning
Min Clinic uses a two-step consultation process. A senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation and assesses the patient’s skin using an EVE V MUSE analyzer. The doctor then provides a detailed consultation about the treatment areas and method before examining the patient and designing the procedure.
The doctor determines the tip, treatment depth, energy settings and treatment areas according to the patient’s skin condition and goals. POTENZA is then performed directly by the doctor.
Patients may receive a consultation and skin analysis without proceeding with treatment. In that case, the applicable consultation and skin-analysis fees are charged separately, without additional VAT.
If POTENZA is performed on the same day, the consultation and skin-analysis fees are included in the final treatment fee. Same-day treatment is subject to the doctor’s assessment, appointment availability and the patient’s consent.
How POTENZA works
POTENZA is a radiofrequency microneedling device manufactured by Jeisys Medical in Korea. Fine needles deliver radiofrequency energy at the selected depth beneath the skin. The controlled thermal treatment supports collagen remodeling as the treated areas recover.
Depending on the treatment goal, different tips may be selected for concerns such as acne, enlarged pores, or the application and delivery of topical products. The doctor determines the appropriate tip and settings after assessing the patient’s skin.
The treatment plan should not be based solely on whether one clinic offers a particular tip. How the doctor selects the tip, depth, energy and treatment area is more relevant than the tip name alone.
FDA clearance and Min Clinic’s treatment policy
The indication stated in the FDA 510(k) record K192545 is “electrocoagulation and hemostasis in dermatologic and general surgical procedures.” Pores, skin texture and acne scars are not specifically named in that wording.
FDA clearance in the United States and approved indications in Korea are separate regulatory matters. At Min Clinic, POTENZA is used within its approved indications. The clinic should not describe POTENZA as being specifically FDA-cleared for pores.
Will my skin look normal the next day?
Temporary redness, mild swelling and heat may last for approximately one to three days. Small scabs, flaking, roughness or visible needle marks may remain for about one week. Bruising is uncommon, but if it occurs, it may last for one to two weeks.
Cleansing and makeup are recommended from the following day. If you need to attend an important meeting, appear on camera or attend an event, allow enough time for visible reactions to settle.
Recovery may take longer when stronger settings are used. These time frames are general references, and individual recovery varies according to the patient’s skin condition and treatment plan.

How POTENZA pricing works at Min Clinic
POTENZA is offered at one regular price per session. The price does not change according to the tip type or number of shots.
The same regular session price applies whether the treatment covers:
- The full face
- An area focused on concerns such as pores or acne scars
- A partial area such as the cheeks or nose
Skin assessment, cleansing and topical anesthetic cream are included. Ampoules, skin boosters and topical drug applications are separate when added. VAT is charged separately.
When comparing quotes from different clinics, check whether the quoted price includes the same treatment area, doctor-performed procedure, anesthesia and added products. Do not assume that two POTENZA quotes describe the same treatment simply because the device name is the same.
Getting to Min Clinic from Yeouido
One possible subway route is to take Line 9 from Yeouido Station to Seonjeongneung Station, transfer to the Suin–Bundang Line and continue to Gangnam-gu Office Station.
From Gangnam-gu Office Station, use Exit 3 or 3-1 and walk toward Daedong Tower. Apgujeong Rodeo Station Exit 5 is another nearby option and is closer to the clinic.
Min Clinic is located on the fourth floor of Daedong Tower at 326 Dosan-daero. The building is at Hakdong Intersection, with an Olive Young store on the ground floor.
Parking and valet parking are available. Contact the clinic before visiting if you need current parking information.
Travel and walking times are approximate and provided for reference only. Actual times may vary depending on transfers, traffic, the route and current conditions.
Booking, languages and documents
Appointments can be requested through:
- KakaoTalk
- Phone
- In person
Chinese and Japanese consultations are supported by staff at the clinic. English consultations can be arranged with an interpreter when the appointment is booked in advance.
WhatsApp messages are answered as promptly as possible during clinic hours. Messages received while the clinic is closed are reviewed after reopening.
International patients must bring a passport or another form of photo identification to the appointment.
Skin-analysis results can be sent by email upon request. Treatment records can also be provided as a detailed medical statement upon request.
Payment and VAT
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, UnionPay and JCB are accepted. Apple Pay, WeChat Pay and Alipay are also available, and cash payments are accepted in Korean won.
Payment may be split across two cards. Min Clinic does not add a separate card-processing fee, and PayPal is not accepted.
Treatment prices exclude VAT. Under Korean tax law, foreign visitors are no longer eligible for VAT refunds on cosmetic medical services received on or after January 1, 2026. Min Clinic therefore does not process VAT refunds for treatments provided from that date.
