Are acne scar fillers temporary, while Potenza results are long-lasting? Beomgye, Pyeongchon, Beomgye Station, Pyeongchon Station, Hogye-dong, Bisan-dong, Gwanyang-dong, Dongan-gu, Indeogwon, Geumjeong, Anyang

Many people think of acne scar fillers as a way to fill in acne scars.

Fillers work by directly injecting dermal fillers like hyaluronic acid to immediately fill the sunken space of scars.

While the results are quickly noticeable, it's important to first understand that the scar tissue itself has not changed.

Accurate Understanding of Fillers

Fillers work by injecting a dermal filler into the dermis, pushing the scar up from below.

In the case of hyaluronic acid-based fillers, they are gradually broken down by enzymes in the body, so the effect typically diminishes within 6 months to 1 year.

Once the duration of effect passes, the scar returns to its original shape, requiring repeated injections.

While fillers can provide immediate improvement for rolling scars (volumetric scars), there are structural limitations for deep and narrow scars like ice pick scars, where the filler material is difficult to maintain.

Acne scar fillers should be approached as a temporary solution; qualitative changes in scar tissue are difficult to expect.

Why Potenza is Different — The Principle of Collagen Regeneration

Potenza is a microneedle RF (radiofrequency) device.

Micro-needles create channels in the dermis, and then RF (radiofrequency) energy is directly emitted from the tip of the needles.

This thermal energy strongly stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin. Because it's a method that boosts the skin's natural regenerative power, the duration of its effect is fundamentally different from fillers.

Collagen is not produced immediately after the procedure but gradually over several weeks. As treatments accumulate, the collagen density in the dermis increases, and the depth and area of the scars decrease.

Needle RF devices on the market such as Sylfirm, Virtue RF, Elsys, and Secret RF all share this principle.

Potenza's Unique Pumping Tip — Over 2x Drug Absorption

Potenza uses a dedicated pumping tip (CP-25) when combined with skin boosters.

This method uses the positive pressure generated when the needles retract to directly push the medication into the dermis, resulting in an absorption efficiency more than twice that of conventional injection methods.

When combining collagen-stimulating skin boosters like Juvelook with acne scar treatment, this pumping tip ensures the medication is delivered deep into the dermis, maximizing the regenerative effect.

Treatment Sessions · Intervals · Downtime Information

Potenza treatments are recommended every 4-6 weeks to align with the skin's regeneration cycle.

A total of 3-5 sessions is the standard for significant scar improvement. While skin texture improvement can be felt after just one session, the fundamental regeneration of deep scars is perfected as more sessions accumulate.

Redness and pinpoint bleeding occur immediately after the procedure and usually subside within 1-2 days. Individual variations exist, lasting up to 1 week depending on the treatment intensity and skin type. Makeup is possible from the next day, but it's best to avoid it for about 3 days.

Afterward, refrain from heat-stimulating activities such as saunas, strenuous exercise, and alcohol for 1-2 days, and diligently apply moisturizer and sunscreen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is it possible to combine acne scar fillers with Potenza?

A. Yes. There are cases where a combined plan is considered, utilizing acne scar fillers for immediate volume while inducing collagen regeneration with Potenza. However, the sequence and intervals vary depending on the skin condition, so a consultation must precede.

Q. Do scars worsen once the effect of acne scar fillers wears off?

A. The scars themselves do not worsen after the filler breaks down. However, since only the filler material decreases without changes to the scar tissue, it may feel like they are returning to their original state.

Q. When can I expect to see improvement in acne scars after Potenza treatment?

A. Collagen is produced over 4-6 weeks after the procedure. While skin texture improvement can be felt after one session, changes in the depth of acne scars become more noticeable after 3 or more cumulative sessions.

Q. Does the application method for Potenza vary depending on the type of acne scar?

A. Yes. Ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars differ in depth and shape, requiring adjustments in needle depth and treatment density. Kkeut Clinic provides customized treatments for each area.
