POTENZA for Acne Scars for Busy Parents from Dosan Park: How Cheongdam Clinics Differ

If you are considering POTENZA for acne scars and need to fit your appointment between school drop-off, work and pickup, focus on the details that affect both the treatment plan and your schedule. Check which tip is proposed, who performs the procedure, what is included in the price, how the genuine tip is verified and whether same-day treatment can be arranged.

Comparing POTENZA clinics when your time is limited

If you need to minimize your time at the clinic, ask each clinic the same questions before booking:

  • Which POTENZA tip will be used?
  • Which areas will be treated?
  • Who will determine the settings and perform the procedure?
  • Is anesthetic cream included?
  • Is a skin booster included or charged separately?
  • Is any additional treatment required?
  • Is VAT included or charged separately?
  • Can consultation and treatment be arranged on the same day?

At Min Clinic, the price of a basic POTENZA session does not change according to the tip type or shot count. The doctor selects the tip and treatment settings according to your skin condition, acne scars and treatment goals.

Anesthetic cream is included. Topical skin booster application is not included in the basic session price. An additional regenerative laser treatment is not required. If you specifically request one after consultation, it may be provided separately at an additional cost.

Same-day treatment may be available with advance booking, depending on the doctor’s assessment and appointment availability. If you want to avoid multiple trips from Dosan Park, request same-day treatment when making your appointment.

What to confirm about the device and tip

POTENZA is a radiofrequency microneedling device manufactured by Jeisys Medical in Korea. It delivers radiofrequency energy through treatment tips selected according to the patient’s skin condition and treatment goal.

Tip options include tips for acne improvement, pore tightening and skin booster delivery. The doctor determines which tip is appropriate after assessing your skin.

At Min Clinic:

  • A new POTENZA tip is opened in front of the patient before treatment.
  • The patient can check the shot count on the device screen during the procedure.
  • The clinic displays its manufacturer-issued POTENZA Official Certified Clinic plaque.
  • The procedure is performed by a doctor.

If you are comparing clinics, ask whether a new tip will be opened for your treatment, whether you can check the shot count and who will select the tip and settings.

POTENZA, acne scars and regulatory wording

The FDA-cleared indication for POTENZA refers to “electrocoagulation and hemostasis in dermatologic and general surgical procedures.” It does not specifically mention pores, acne scars or skin texture.

If you are considering POTENZA for acne scars, ask the doctor how the proposed tip and settings are intended to address your specific concerns. It would not be accurate to say that the FDA specifically cleared POTENZA for pore or acne-scar treatment.

At Min Clinic, POTENZA is used within its approved indications.

Consultation and treatment at Min Clinic

A senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation, and your skin is assessed using an EVE V MUSE analyzer. You then have a detailed consultation with the doctor about the treatment areas, tip and treatment method. The doctor completes the medical assessment and performs the procedure.

English consultation is available with interpretation support. If you are working around school or office hours, tell the clinic about your available time when booking so it can confirm whether consultation and treatment can be completed during the same visit.

After POTENZA, redness, mild swelling or warmth may remain for approximately one to three days. Fine crusting, needle marks or a rough texture may last around one week. Bruising is uncommon but may remain for one to two weeks if it occurs.

Cleansing and makeup may be resumed from the following day. Wait at least three days before strenuous exercise or sauna use. Flying is generally possible on the day of treatment if there are no unusual symptoms.

How to compare POTENZA prices

POTENZA pricing methods vary between clinics. At Min Clinic, a basic POTENZA session is offered at one regular price regardless of the tip type or shot count. The session may be planned for:

  • The full face
  • A focus area such as pores or acne scars
  • A partial area such as the cheeks or nose

The treatment tip is selected according to the improvement goal. Available options include tips for acne improvement, pore tightening and skin booster delivery.

Anesthetic cream is included. Topical skin booster application is charged separately unless it is included in a separately quoted combination treatment. Additional regenerative laser treatment is not required.

When comparing quotes, confirm that the treatments cover comparable areas and check what is included in each price. Do not compare POTENZA prices by assuming that a different tip or shot count automatically represents a different price at Min Clinic.

Prices for international patients are the same as those for Korean patients. There is no additional fee for card payments. VAT is charged separately at the applicable statutory rate.

In accordance with Korean tax law, VAT refunds for cosmetic medical services provided to foreign visitors are no longer available for treatments received on or after January 1, 2026. Min Clinic therefore does not process foreign-visitor VAT refunds for treatments provided from that date.
