If you are coming from Seolleung Station and considering POTENZA for pores in Gangnam, Cheongdam, plan for the possibility of temporary redness, mild swelling, and a rough skin texture rather than assuming that there will be no visible recovery period.

At Min Clinic, POTENZA is performed directly by a doctor. A genuine POTENZA tip is opened in front of the patient before treatment, the shot count can be checked on the device screen during the procedure, and the clinic displays its official POTENZA certification plaque.

How to assess a POTENZA clinic in Cheongdam when you have work the next day

If you are fitting treatment between workdays, begin with the points that can be checked directly: the device, the tip, the treatment provider, the consultation process, and the expected recovery period.

POTENZA is a radiofrequency microneedling device manufactured by Jeisys Medical. It delivers radiofrequency energy through fine needles at the selected treatment depth. The doctor chooses the appropriate tip and settings according to the patient’s skin condition, treatment area, and treatment goal.

At Min Clinic, a genuine POTENZA tip is opened in front of the patient before treatment. There is no separate hologram or authenticity-sticker check for the tip. During the procedure, the patient can check the shot count displayed on the device screen. The clinic also displays its official POTENZA certification plaque.

A senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation, and the patient’s skin is assessed using an EVE V MUSE analyzer. The doctor then provides a detailed consultation regarding the treatment area, tip selection, and treatment method, conducts the medical assessment, and performs the procedure directly.

If you need to return to work the next day, tell the doctor about your schedule. However, the tip and settings are selected according to your skin assessment and treatment goals rather than solely according to your schedule.

The indication stated in FDA 510(k) K192545 is “electrocoagulation and hemostasis in dermatologic and general surgical procedures.” This is the wording of the US FDA clearance and should not be used alone to characterize the device’s Korean regulatory status or Min Clinic’s use of the device. At Min Clinic, POTENZA is used within its approved indications.

Getting from Seolleung Station to Min Clinic

From Seolleung Station, take the Suin-Bundang Line to Gangnam-gu Office Station. Leave through Exit 3 or 3-1 and walk to Daedong Tower at Hakdong Intersection.

Min Clinic is located on the fourth floor of Daedong Tower, 326 Dosan-daero. An Olive Young store is located on the ground floor of the building.

The subway trip from Seolleung Station, including the walk, takes approximately 12 to 15 minutes. The walk from Gangnam-gu Office Station Exit 3 or 3-1 takes approximately seven minutes.

A taxi from Seolleung Station generally takes approximately 6 to 13 minutes. The estimated daytime fare is approximately KRW 5,500 to KRW 8,000, excluding tolls and late-night surcharges.

Apgujeong Rodeo Station Exit 5 on the Suin-Bundang Line is the nearest subway exit to Min Clinic and is another available route. The walk from Exit 5 takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes.

Travel times, walking times, and taxi fares are approximate and provided for reference only. Actual times and fares may vary depending on the route, traffic, walking pace, and current conditions.

Your day-of schedule from Seolleung: arrival through treatment

When you have a narrow window between work and other appointments, allow enough time for transportation, consultation, skin assessment, topical anesthesia, and treatment.

A senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation, and the patient’s skin is assessed using an EVE V MUSE analyzer. The doctor then provides a detailed consultation about the treatment area, tip selection, and treatment method before conducting the medical assessment and performing the procedure directly.

A consultation generally takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes. It may take longer when interpretation or a more detailed explanation is required. Consultation and treatment times are estimates and may vary depending on the patient’s skin condition and treatment plan.

English consultations are arranged with a senior consultation manager and an interpreter by appointment. Appointments can be requested through WhatsApp, email, phone, or in person at the desk.

Same-day treatment may be available with prior reservation, depending on the doctor’s assessment, the treatment plan, and appointment availability. Please request and confirm same-day treatment when booking.

If you need to return to the office the following day, discuss whether the plan will focus on pores, scars, or a partial area such as the cheeks or nose. The doctor will explain the expected recovery according to the selected tip and treatment settings.

What to expect after POTENZA when you cannot take several days off

POTENZA may involve visible temporary reactions, so next-day cleansing and makeup do not necessarily mean that all redness or skin texture changes will have resolved.

Typical recovery guidance at Min Clinic includes:

  • Redness, mild swelling, and warmth: approximately one to three days
  • Fine crusting, flaking, rough texture, and needle marks: approximately one week
  • Bruising: uncommon, but it may last approximately one to two weeks if it occurs
  • Cleansing and makeup: generally possible from the next day
  • Strenuous exercise and sauna use: avoid for at least three days
  • Flying: generally possible from the same day if there is no unusual reaction

Recovery varies between individuals and may last longer when stronger settings are used. If you have a client meeting, video call, photograph, or important event scheduled, allow time for redness and skin texture changes to improve.

Follow-up care and the need for any additional treatment are determined by the doctor after assessing the patient’s condition and progress. An in-person review may be recommended when appropriate.

Min Clinic’s hours are Monday through Thursday from 10:00 to 19:00, Friday from 10:00 to 20:00, and Saturday from 10:00 to 15:00. The lunch break is from 13:00 to 14:00. The clinic is closed on Sundays and public holidays.

Common reactions after POTENZA

Temporary reactions may include:

  • Pain or a stinging sensation
  • Redness
  • Mild swelling
  • Warmth
  • Pinpoint bleeding
  • Tenderness
  • Dryness or flaking
  • Fine crusting or needle marks
  • Temporary bruising
  • A temporary acne flare

Less common but important adverse effects may include infection, herpes reactivation, changes in pigmentation, burns, scarring, persistent grid marks, unwanted fat loss or contour changes, and nerve injury. Contact the clinic if a reaction is unexpected, severe, or continues to worsen.

Pricing, booking, and payment for a tight schedule

POTENZA pricing can vary between clinics. At Min Clinic, basic POTENZA is priced per session, regardless of the tip type or shot count.

A session can be booked for:

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

Depending on the treatment goal, tip options include tips used for concerns such as acne, pores, or drug application and delivery. The doctor selects the appropriate tip according to the patient’s skin condition and treatment goal.

Topical anesthetic cream is included. Ampoule or topical drug application is not included in the basic session price. VAT is charged separately at the applicable statutory rate.

When comparing quotes from different clinics, align the treatment area and included items. Confirm whether the quoted price includes topical anesthesia, whether medication or a skin booster is added, who performs the procedure, and whether VAT is charged separately.

Appointments can be requested through WhatsApp at +82-10-3379-9350, KakaoTalk, or WeChat. Bring a passport or another form of photo identification to the appointment.

Chinese and Japanese consultations are supported by staff on site. English consultations are arranged with a dedicated interpreter by appointment. WhatsApp messages are answered during clinic hours, and the clinic responds as promptly as possible.

International and Korean patients are charged according to the same pricing policy. 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.
