At Min Clinic, POTENZA is performed by a doctor. A new, genuine POTENZA tip is opened in front of the patient before treatment, and the shot count can be viewed on the device screen during the procedure. The clinic also displays its manufacturer-issued POTENZA Certified Clinic plaque on site.
What the next few days may look like
* **Day 0:** Redness, warmth, mild swelling, tenderness or pinpoint bleeding may appear after treatment. The doctor will provide aftercare instructions based on your skin condition and the treatment performed. * **Day 1:** Gentle cleansing and makeup are generally possible from the next day. Avoid rubbing the skin or using irritating products. * **Days 2–3:** Redness, mild swelling, warmth and stinging generally begin to improve. Recovery may take longer when stronger settings are used. * **Around one week:** Fine crusting, flaking, needle marks, a rough texture or temporary grid-like marks may remain for approximately one week. * **One to two weeks:** Bruising is uncommon, but if it occurs, it may take approximately one to two weeks to resolve.
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.
Using your previous treatment records
If this is your second POTENZA session, tell the clinic when and where your first treatment was performed and how your skin responded. Previous treatment records can help the doctor review your earlier treatment and response when planning the next session.
Upon request, Min Clinic can provide skin-analysis results by email. Treatment records can also be provided upon request in the form of a detailed medical statement.
Follow-up care or an additional review may be recommended depending on your recovery and the doctor’s assessment. Additional treatment is not determined solely by the number of sessions already completed.
Risks, cautions and treatment planning
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. Contact the clinic if symptoms are severe, continue to worsen or last longer than expected.
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, active herpes or an open wound. Patients should tell the clinic about their medical history, 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.

POTENZA tips and authenticity checks
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.
At Min Clinic, the tip is selected according to the patient’s skin condition and treatment goal.
* **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.
Before treatment, a new, genuine, single-use POTENZA tip is opened in front of the patient. The patient can also view the shot count on the device screen during treatment. Min Clinic displays its manufacturer-issued POTENZA Certified Clinic plaque on site.
At Min Clinic, POTENZA is used within its approved indications.
Recommended treatment interval and number of sessions
The recommended interval and number of POTENZA sessions vary according to the patient’s skin condition and treatment goal.
When repeated treatment is appropriate, 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 may begin with one session and consider additional treatment after reviewing how their skin responds.
POTENZA pricing and included services
At Min Clinic, the standard POTENZA fee is charged per session rather than by tip type or shot count. Treatment may be planned for the full face, a concern such as pores or acne scars, or a partial area such as the cheeks or nose.
The standard POTENZA price is KRW 400,000 per session, excluding VAT. POTENZA combined with a skin booster starts at KRW 590,000, excluding VAT, and the total varies depending on the product selected.
The standard treatment price includes:
* Skin analysis before treatment * Cleansing * Topical anesthetic cream * POTENZA treatment performed by a doctor
A regenerative laser treatment is not required as part of the standard POTENZA procedure. If the patient requests one, it is charged separately. Skin boosters, ampoules and topical or injectable products are not included in the standard POTENZA session price.
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.
Under 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.
When comparing quotations from different clinics, compare the treatment area, intended tip, included anesthesia, any added products, aftercare and VAT under the same conditions.
