Min Clinic is located at 4F, Daedong Tower, 326 Dosan-daero, at Hakdong Intersection in Gangnam, Cheongdam. POTENZA is performed by a doctor, and the treatment tip and settings are selected according to the patient’s skin condition and treatment goal.
What to check first when balancing your budget and school schedule
* **Check the pricing unit:** At Min Clinic, the standard POTENZA fee is charged per session rather than by tip type or shot count. * **Confirm what is included:** Skin analysis, cleansing and topical anesthetic cream are included in the standard treatment process. Skin boosters, ampoules and topical or injectable products are charged separately. * **Ask which tip will be used:** The doctor selects the POTENZA tip according to the concern being treated, such as acne, pores, acne scars or overall skin texture. * **Verify authenticity:** A new, genuine POTENZA tip is opened in front of the patient before treatment. The shot count can also be viewed on the device screen during the procedure. * **Check the clinic’s certification:** Min Clinic displays its manufacturer-issued POTENZA Certified Clinic plaque on site. * **Plan around exams and events:** Redness, mild swelling, warmth and stinging may remain for two to three days. Fine crusting, flaking, needle marks or a rough texture may last for approximately one week. * **Confirm same-day availability:** Same-day treatment may be available depending on the clinic schedule and the doctor’s assessment.
What POTENZA is
POTENZA is a radiofrequency microneedling system manufactured by Jeisys Medical in South Korea. It uses fine needles to deliver radiofrequency energy to selected depths in the skin.
The doctor selects the tip, treatment depth and settings according to the patient’s skin condition and goal. The same device may be used differently depending on whether the main concern is active acne, enlarged pores, acne scars or uneven skin texture.
At Min Clinic, POTENZA is used within its approved indications.
POTENZA tips used at Min Clinic
Min Clinic selects among different POTENZA tips according to the purpose of treatment.
* **I-25:** An insulated-needle tip used primarily when acne improvement is the treatment goal. * **N-25:** A non-insulated needle tip used primarily for concerns such as enlarged pores and acne scars. * **CP-25:** A pumping-type tip used when microneedling is combined with the application or delivery of a selected product. It may be used for overall skin-texture improvement or combined with a skin booster.
The tip is not selected according to price alone. The doctor evaluates the patient’s skin condition, treatment area and goal before deciding which tip and settings are appropriate.
How Min Clinic verifies authenticity
Before treatment, a new, genuine, single-use POTENZA tip is opened in front of the patient. POTENZA tips do not have a separate hologram or authenticity sticker that the patient must check.
During treatment, the patient can view the shot count on the device screen. Min Clinic also displays its manufacturer-issued POTENZA Certified Clinic plaque on site.
These authentication methods are specific to POTENZA. Other devices and injectable products may use different authentication methods.
Consultation and treatment process
A senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation and skin analysis using an EVE V MUSE analyzer. This is followed by a consultation and assessment with the doctor.
The consultation process may include:
* Reviewing the patient’s main skin concern * Assessing pores, acne, acne scars and skin texture * Reviewing previous procedures and skin reactions * Selecting the treatment area * Selecting the POTENZA tip and settings * Discussing expected downtime and aftercare * Deciding whether POTENZA should be performed alone or combined with a skin booster
A consultation generally takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes and may take longer when interpretation or a detailed explanation of the skin-analysis results is needed.
Patients may attend a consultation without receiving treatment. Skin-analysis results can be sent by email upon request. Treatment records can also be provided upon request in the form of a detailed medical statement.
If the patient and doctor decide to proceed, same-day treatment may be available depending on the clinic schedule and the doctor’s assessment.
Who performs POTENZA
At Min Clinic, POTENZA and other medical aesthetic procedures are performed by a doctor. Skincare treatments are provided separately.
The doctor selects the tip, treatment depth and settings after assessing the patient’s skin condition. This distinction is important because the appropriate plan may differ even when two patients are both seeking treatment for pores.
Treatment price and included services
At Min Clinic, the standard POTENZA price is KRW 400,000 per session, excluding VAT. The fee is charged per session rather than by tip type or shot count.
POTENZA combined with a skin booster starts at KRW 590,000, excluding VAT. The final price varies depending on the skin booster selected.
The standard POTENZA treatment includes:
* Skin analysis before treatment * Cleansing * Topical anesthetic cream * POTENZA treatment performed by a doctor
Skin boosters, ampoules and topical or injectable products are not included in the standard POTENZA session price.
An additional regenerative laser treatment is not required as part of the standard POTENZA procedure. If the patient requests one, it is charged separately.
VAT is charged separately at the applicable statutory rate. Min Clinic applies the same treatment prices to international and Korean patients and does not charge an additional card-processing fee.
When comparing quotations from different clinics, compare the procedure, treatment area, included anesthesia, selected products, aftercare and VAT under the same conditions.
Recommended interval and number of sessions
The recommended treatment interval and number of sessions vary according to the patient’s skin condition and treatment goal.
When repeated treatment is appropriate, POTENZA sessions are generally planned at intervals of approximately four to six weeks. For concerns that require gradual improvement, approximately three to five sessions may be discussed.
However, Min Clinic does not describe a package as necessary to see results. International patients or students with limited schedules may begin with one session and consider additional treatment after reviewing how their skin responds.
Changes may begin to become noticeable approximately three to four weeks after treatment. The duration varies according to the patient’s skin type, condition and treatment plan.
Downtime and planning around exams
Temporary reactions may include redness, mild swelling, warmth, stinging, tenderness, dryness, flaking, pinpoint bleeding or temporary needle marks.
A general recovery timeline is:
* **Two to three days:** Redness, mild swelling, warmth and stinging generally improve. * **Around one week:** Fine crusting, flaking, needle marks, a rough texture or temporary grid-like marks may remain. * **One to two weeks:** Bruising is uncommon, but if it occurs, it may take approximately one to two weeks to resolve.
Gentle cleansing and makeup are generally possible from the next day. Intense exercise and sauna use should be avoided for at least three days. Air travel is generally possible from the day of treatment if there are no unusual symptoms.
Recovery varies between individuals and may take longer when stronger settings are used. If you have an exam, interview, presentation or important event, allow enough time for your own skin to recover rather than relying on the shortest expected downtime.
Risks and precautions
Common temporary reactions may include pain, tingling, redness, swelling, warmth, pinpoint bleeding, tenderness, dryness, flaking, fine crusting, temporary acne aggravation or bruising.
Less common but important complications may include infection, herpes reactivation, hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, burns, scarring, persistent grid marks, unwanted fat loss, contour changes or nerve injury.
POTENZA may not be appropriate for patients with:
* An electronic implanted device such as a pacemaker * Metal or gold threads in the treatment area * An active infection or active herpes * An open wound in the treatment area
Tell the clinic about your medical history, current medications and previous procedures before treatment.
Min Clinic does not perform medical aesthetic procedures, including POTENZA, during pregnancy. Skincare treatments may be available after consultation.
