Potenza

PotenzaDevice

A microneedle RF device by Cynosure (USA) featuring both monopolar and bipolar modes with a drug delivery function.

Overview

Potenza inserts microneedles into the dermis to deliver RF energy, then injects medication (exosomes, growth factors, etc.) as the needles are withdrawn in a 3-step system. Supporting both monopolar and bipolar RF modes with adjustable needle depth (0.5-3.5mm), it provides versatile treatment for skin tightening, pore reduction, scarring, and pigmentation.

Mechanism

Fine microneedles penetrate the skin to the programmed depth. RF energy (monopolar for deep heating or bipolar for focused superficial heating) is delivered through the needle tips, creating controlled thermal zones in the dermis. As the needles retract, the proprietary pump mechanism infuses active ingredients through the micro-channels. This 3-step approach maximizes both thermal remodeling and drug penetration.

Effects

Skin remodeling and tightening, pore reduction, acne scar improvement, melasma and pigmentation treatment, wrinkle reduction, and enhanced treatment outcomes through drug delivery.

Duration

3-6 months per session (3-5 sessions at 4-week intervals recommended)

Recovery

Redness and mild swelling for 1-3 days. Pinpoint bleeding and micro-crusting possible. Sun avoidance and gentle skincare for 48 hours. Makeup possible from the next day.

Side Effects

Temporary redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, and crusting. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation risk in darker skin tones. Results vary by skin condition and parameter settings.

Price Range

200,000-500,000 KRW per session
