How POTENZA pricing works in Gangnam, Cheongdam when you are preparing for an event

If you are walking over from Dosan Park and comparing clinics in the Cheongdam area before you lock in your date, the most useful way to read quotes is to match like‑for‑like and confirm what is included so you can plan confidently before your event. How POTENZA is priced can differ by clinic, so Min Clinic advises you to align quotes tip‑for‑tip, area‑for‑area, and confirm what is included. At Min Clinic, a session can be booked for the full face, for a focus area such as pores or scars, or for a partial area such as cheeks or nose, and the price is based on tip type and treatment area. Depending on the treatment goal, tip options include tips for acne improvement, pore tightening, and skin booster delivery.

If you have an important event or photo shoot coming up, it matters what is and isn’t in the session price: anesthetic cream is included; ampoule or topical skin booster application is not included; additional regenerative laser treatment is not necessary, but it is available at an extra charge if you would like it; VAT is charged separately; prices for international patients are the same as for Korean patients; and there is no card surcharge. If you are comparing multiple clinics around Gangnam, Cheongdam, align the quotes tip‑for‑tip, area‑for‑area, and confirm what is included. If you have questions beyond these points, please ask the clinic directly.

What to expect from POTENZA for pores before your date

If your event is close and you are starting from Dosan Park, leave a few days between your treatment and any important event to allow post-treatment redness to settle. POTENZA is a radiofrequency microneedling device by Jeisys Medical (Seoul, Korea), delivering energy at 1MHz or 2MHz. It uses six electrode tips for the motor handpiece and three needle tips for the AC handpiece, all single‑use and sterile. In the United States, the FDA 510(k) clearance (K192545) the FDA-cleared indication refers to “electrocoagulation and hemostasis in dermatologic and general surgical procedures,” not specifically to pores, acne scars, or skin texture. A device may be used for purposes beyond its cleared indication, but that does not mean the FDA has specifically cleared it for pore treatment.

For a tighter schedule before a milestone day, ask during consultation about whether a focus area (for example, pores on the nose or cheeks) makes sense for your timeline, and request same‑day treatment when you book if you want the option. Follow‑up care and the need for any additional treatment are determined by the doctor after assessing the patient’s condition and progress, so building in a check‑in is useful if your event is still a little way off.

Authenticity and how Min Clinic runs the treatment if you are new to POTENZA

If you are dropping by from Dosan Park for your first POTENZA session, you can ask to see how authenticity is handled so you feel comfortable before your event. 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. Genuine products are opened in front of you, and certificates are displayed in the clinic.

At Min Clinic, medical aesthetic procedures are performed by a doctor, and skincare treatments are provided separately. 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 an assessment and consultation with the doctor, which helps align the tip choice and treatment area to your pore concerns and your event date. Three doctors practice here: Young Soo Min, the chief medical director, and Min Ji Kim and Chan Ho Jung, both medical directors. Min Clinic is registered as a “dermatology clinic,” and two of the doctors are board‑certified specialists. If you would like to plan in English, English consultations are run by the senior consultation manager together with an interpreter.
