If you are considering POTENZA for acne scars and need to return to work the next day, allow time for temporary redness, mild swelling or warmth. These reactions may last approximately one to three days, although recovery varies according to your skin and the treatment plan.
If you are coming from Dong Seoul Bus Terminal and planning to return the same day, an appointment after work or before a weekend may be convenient. When comparing clinics in Cheongdam, check the exact device, how authenticity is confirmed, who performs the treatment and what is included in the quoted price.
What to expect if you have work the next day
Temporary redness, mild swelling and warmth may continue for approximately one to three days after POTENZA. Fine crusting, roughness, needle marks or a slightly uneven texture may remain for about a week. If bruising occurs, it may take one to two weeks to resolve.
Cleansing and makeup are generally possible from the following day. If you have an important meeting, event or photo shoot coming up, leave enough time for post-treatment redness to settle.
Strenuous exercise and sauna use should be avoided for at least three days. Flying is generally possible on the day of treatment if you have no unusual symptoms.
If you need to minimize your time at the clinic, tell the clinic when booking and ask whether same-day consultation and treatment may be available. Availability depends on the appointment schedule and the doctor’s assessment.
What to check before POTENZA treatment
For safety and treatment planning, confirm the following before treatment:
- The clinic uses an authentic POTENZA device
- A new genuine tip is opened in front of you
- The shot count can be checked on the device screen
- The clinic displays its POTENZA Official Certified Clinic plaque
- The doctor determines the treatment area, tip and settings
- The doctor performs the procedure
- Anesthetic cream is included
- The clinic provides clear aftercare instructions
At Min Clinic, a new POTENZA tip is opened in front of the patient before treatment. The treatment shot count can be viewed on the device screen, and the clinic displays its official certification plaque.
Tip options include tips for acne improvement, pore tightening and skin booster delivery. The doctor selects the appropriate tip and settings according to the treatment area, skin condition and treatment goal.
Device facts that matter for acne scars
POTENZA is a radiofrequency microneedling device manufactured by Jeisys Medical in Korea. It delivers radiofrequency energy through microneedles to selected depths in the skin.
The treatment creates controlled thermal coagulation points in the dermis. The recovery process is intended to support collagen remodeling and may be considered for concerns such as uneven texture and depressed acne scars.
Acne scarring is not a single condition. Rolling, boxcar and ice-pick scars have different characteristics, and one treatment plan may not address every scar in the same way. The doctor should first assess the type, depth and distribution of the scars before selecting the treatment area, tip and settings.
The FDA-cleared indication 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 treatment is intended to address your specific concerns.
At Min Clinic, POTENZA is used within its approved indications.
Consultation and treatment planning
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 your acne scars, treatment areas and procedure plan. The doctor completes the medical assessment, selects the appropriate tip and settings and performs the treatment directly.
If you have received POTENZA or another acne-scar treatment before, bring any available treatment records. Information about the device, treatment date, treated areas, recovery and your response may help the doctor plan the next procedure.
The consultation and skin-analysis fees are included in the final treatment fee when treatment is performed on the same day. VAT does not apply to these fees. When treatment is performed on the same day, the consultation and skin-analysis fees are included in the final treatment fee.
Skin-analysis results may be provided by email upon request. Treatment records may also be provided as a detailed medical statement upon request.
How POTENZA pricing works at Min Clinic
Basic POTENZA is priced per session, regardless of tip type or shot count.
A session may be booked for:
- The full face
- A focus area such as pores or acne scars
- A partial area such as the cheeks or nose
Anesthetic cream is included. Topical skin booster application is not included in the basic session price. VAT is charged separately.
When comparing quotes, check:

Planning treatment around work

If you work in an air-conditioned office or wear a mask for long periods, ask the clinic how to keep your skincare routine simple and avoid unnecessary irritation during recovery.
Follow-up appointments and the need for any additional treatment are determined by the doctor after assessing your condition and progress.
Pregnancy policy
