Discomfort is rated after numbing (out of 5). Time, downtime and longevity vary with the treated area and the individual.
Also known as: RF microneedling, radiofrequency microneedling
Potenza places fine needles into the dermis and delivers radiofrequency at the tips, remodelling collagen while limiting damage to the surface. Different tips are used for pores, scars and drug delivery. Expect 1–3 days of redness, so we plan it early in your stay.

Overview
What is Potenza?
Large pores and acne scars come from changes in the dermis, not just the surface. Potenza reaches that layer directly.
With a pumping tip, skin boosters such as Rejuran can be delivered through the microchannels in the same session.

Questions
Potenza FAQ
How is it different from fractional lasers?
Potenza delivers RF directly into the dermis through needles, with less surface damage.
Can I combine it with Rejuran?
Yes, via the drug-delivery tip — part of our K-Glass Skin program.
How many sessions?
Usually 3–5, four weeks apart.
Can I go out the next day?
Yes, though redness may still show for 1–3 days.
Does it hurt?
Topical numbing keeps it manageable. If you are worried about pain, let us know beforehand. Besides numbing cream and cooling, we can use painkillers, anesthetic injections or sedation, depending on the treatment, to manage pain first.
Ask the doctor directly.
