What to verify when comparing POTENZA clinics
Device and treatment method
POTENZA is a radiofrequency microneedling device manufactured by Jeisys Medical in South Korea. Fine needles deliver radiofrequency energy at selected depths within the skin.
The controlled thermal response supports collagen remodeling during recovery. The doctor selects the appropriate tip, treatment depth, energy settings, and treatment pattern according to the patient’s skin condition and treatment goal.
At Min Clinic, the commonly used tips include:
* I-25 for acne-related concerns * N-25 for pores and acne scars * CP-25 for topical product delivery or pumping protocols
The diamond tip lifting protocol is not used at Min Clinic.
At Min Clinic, POTENZA is used within its approved indications. The clinic does not describe POTENZA as being specifically FDA-cleared for pores or acne scars. The FDA 510(k) wording for POTENZA refers to electrocoagulation and hemostasis in dermatologic and general surgical procedures.
Authenticity verification
At Min Clinic:
* A new genuine single-use POTENZA tip is opened in front of the patient. * The treatment shot count can be viewed on the device screen. * An official POTENZA Certified Clinic plaque issued by the manufacturer is displayed in the clinic.
POTENZA tips are not verified using a separate hologram or authenticity sticker. Its authenticity process should not be confused with the verification methods used for injectable products or other devices.
Who performs the procedure
All medical procedures performed at Min Clinic, including POTENZA, are performed directly by a doctor.
The doctor selects the tip and determines the treatment area, depth, energy settings, number of passes, and procedure method according to the patient’s skin condition.
Consultation and individualized planning
Min Clinic uses a two-step consultation process.
A senior consultation manager begins the consultation and uses the EVE V MUSE skin analyzer to assess the patient’s skin. The patient then has a detailed consultation with the doctor about the treatment area and procedure method.
The doctor assesses:
* The type and depth of the acne scars * Skin thickness and sensitivity * Active acne or inflammation * The appropriate POTENZA tip * Treatment depth and energy settings * The number of passes * Current medications and previous treatments
The doctor conducts the medical assessment, develops the individualized treatment plan, and personally performs the procedure.
Consultations generally take approximately 15–30 minutes and may take longer when interpretation or a detailed explanation of the skin-analysis results is required. These times are approximate and may vary.
Same-day treatment may be possible depending on the doctor’s assessment, the treatment plan, and appointment availability.
Planning treatment around work and family schedules
POTENZA may cause temporary visible changes, so allow recovery time before an important meeting, family event, school appointment, or photo session.
Possible temporary reactions include:
* Redness, mild swelling, and warmth for approximately one to three days * Small needle marks, minor scabbing, flaking, or rough texture for approximately one week * Bruising, if it occurs, for approximately one to two weeks * Temporary tenderness, dryness, or an acne flare-up
Recovery varies according to the patient’s skin condition, treatment intensity, and selected tip. Stronger settings or more intensive treatment may require a longer recovery period.
Face washing and makeup are generally possible from the following day.
Strenuous exercise and sauna use should be avoided for at least three days. Flying may be possible on the day of treatment when there are no unusual symptoms.
Possible adverse effects
Common temporary reactions may include:
* Pain or stinging * Redness * Swelling * Pinpoint bleeding * Tenderness * Dryness or flaking * Small scabs * Temporary acne flare-ups * Bruising
Less common but important complications may include:
* Infection * Herpes reactivation * Hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation * Burns or scarring * Persistent grid marks * Unwanted fat loss or contour changes * Nerve injury
Tell the doctor about active skin conditions, earlier reactions, implanted devices, metal threads, current medications, and previous treatments to the same area.
When POTENZA may not be suitable
POTENZA may not be suitable for patients with:
* A pacemaker or another active electronic implant * Metal or gold threads in the treatment area * An active infection or herpes outbreak * Open wounds in the treatment area * A known sensitivity to medication or topical products planned for use
Min Clinic does not perform medical aesthetic procedures during pregnancy, including laser, energy-based, and injectable treatments. This includes POTENZA.
