This is a procedure note for How does Mirajet scar removal differ from Potenza? at Beomgye(Opening Soon) KKEUT Korean Clinic.
As you become interested in Mirajet Scar treatment, there naturally comes a point where you wonder how it differs from Potenza.
Both treatments are representative methods used to improve acne scars or depressed scars, but their operating principles and skin approach methods are fundamentally different.

How Mirajet Works
Mirajet is a device that delivers medication into the skin using a high-pressure jet, without needles.
It is designed to deliver a very thin liquid jet, about 0.17mm, to the skin at ultra-high speed, allowing medication to penetrate into the dermal layer.
The essence of this method is not to physically create channels, but to push the medication itself into the skin by overcoming the skin barrier with pressure.
It promotes skin regeneration by directly injecting medications such as growth factors, collagen boosters, and hyaluronic acid into the scar area.

This is why the advantage of no needle phobia is often mentioned in Mirajet scar treatment. Since medication is delivered without physical puncture, bleeding or pinpoint marks do not occur.
Downtime is also short; there may be redness or slight swelling on the day of the treatment, but it usually subsides within a few hours.
How Potenza Differs
Potenza works by having fine needles directly penetrate the skin to form channels in the dermal layer, then emitting radiofrequency (RF) energy from the tip of the needles.
While Mirajet focuses on drug delivery, Potenza's core is to directly stimulate the creation of new collagen and elastin with thermal energy.

Potenza is effective for acne scars, depressed scars, and enlarged pores because RF energy induces a regenerative response that remodels the damaged dermal tissue itself.
Potenza allows precise adjustment of needle depth from 0.5mm to 3.5mm, enabling customized treatment according to the depth and type of the scar.
Downtime often involves redness and tiny pinpoint bleeding immediately after treatment, which usually subsides within 1-2 days, but individual variations can exist, lasting up to about a week depending on the treatment intensity.

Two Treatments: Which is Suitable for What Situation?
Mirajet scar treatment is effective when you want to minimize downtime and intensively replenish skin regenerative ingredients.
Potenza has strengths in physically and thermally remodeling the scar tissue itself.
Instead of the two treatments conflicting, in actual clinical practice, they are often combined or their sequence is arranged according to the depth of the scar and the skin condition.
If Potenza is used to stimulate scar tissue and open channels, followed by Mirajet to inject medication, a synergistic effect occurs where the medication reaches deeper layers.

Potenza's dedicated pumping tip (CP-25) uses the positive pressure generated when needles retract to push medication into the dermal layer.
This pumping tip function is exclusive to the Potenza device, significantly enhancing absorption efficiency when used with skin booster medications.
While the number of sessions and frequency vary depending on skin condition, Potenza is generally recommended for 3-5 cumulative treatments at 4-6 week intervals.

In terms of aftercare, for both treatments, it is essential to avoid heat-inducing activities such as saunas, strenuous exercise, and alcohol consumption for 1-2 days after the procedure.
Sunscreen must be diligently applied after the treatment to prevent hyperpigmentation and protect the skin barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can Mirajet scar treatment and Potenza be received on the same day?
A. Mirajet scar treatment and Potenza can sometimes be combined on the same day. This method involves opening channels with Potenza and then injecting medication with Mirajet to increase absorption. The sequence and method vary depending on skin condition, so a professional medical judgment is required.
Q. Is it true that Mirajet scar treatment has shorter downtime than Potenza?
A. Generally, Mirajet scar treatment is performed without needle penetration, so it does not cause pinpoint bleeding or scabs, resulting in shorter downtime compared to Potenza. Potenza's downtime can vary individually from 1 to 7 days, depending on the treatment intensity.
Q. Which is more suitable for acne scars, Mirajet or Potenza?
A. It depends on the depth and type of the scar. Potenza's RF energy shows strength in remodeling depressed scar tissue itself, while Mirajet scar treatment is effective for intensively replenishing regenerative medications. Kkeut Clinic suggests a customized approach, including combinations of both treatments.
Q. Do devices like Potenza, Sylfirm, and Secret operate on the same principle?
A. The basic principle of micro-needle RF delivery is the same. However, Potenza is differentiated by its dedicated pumping tip, which directly pushes medication into the dermal layer when used with skin boosters. In terms of drug absorption efficiency, it offers high synergy when combined with Mirajet scar treatment.

Kkeut Clinic's Commitment
Kkeut Clinic always uses Potenza's dedicated pumping tip to ensure medications are perfectly pushed into the dermal layer when combined with skin boosters. When combined with Mirajet scar treatment, it maximizes absorption synergy.
Kkeut Clinic strictly adheres to the principle of using one tip per patient per treatment and immediately discarding it. Patient safety and hygiene are non-negotiable.
Kkeut Clinic increases treatment density by adjusting needle depth for each scar area and applying an overlapping layering technique. This approach designs the treatment to match the depth and location of the depression, rather than a uniform application.
