Acne scars are sunken marks that occur when the dermis collapses after deep inflammation caused by acne.

They cannot be filled by methods that only act on the surface; an approach that rebuilds the collapsed dermal layer itself is required.

Principle of Potenza (Needle RF) for Treating Acne Scars

Potenza works by inserting micro-needles into the skin and then directly delivering radiofrequency (RF) energy from the needle tips to the dermal layer.

When energy reaches the dermal layer, existing collagen contracts, and new collagen and elastin are synthesized during the subsequent over-healing process of the skin.

The gradual filling of the collapsed dermal layer through this process is the core mechanism by which Potenza improves acne scars.

Unlike past methods where Fraxel lasers stimulated by ablating the surface, Potenza focuses on targeting the dermal layer while causing minimal damage to the epidermis.

This procedure is designed to maximize dermal regeneration effects while minimizing damage to the surface.

Pumping Tip — Technology to Enhance Skin Booster Absorption into the Dermal Layer

Potenza has a pumping tip (CP-25) used when combining with skin boosters.

It utilizes the positive pressure generated when needles open channels in the dermis and retract, pushing the medication deep into the dermal layer.

It is known to have more than double the absorption efficiency compared to topical application, and this pumping tip technology is exclusive to Potenza.

While commercially available Needle RF devices such as Secret, Sylfirm, Virtue, and Elysies are all based on the same principle, the pumping tip that pushes skin boosters deep into the dermal layer is a technology unique to Potenza.

Why Potenza is Suitable for Improving Acne Scars

Acne scars vary in type and depth from patient to patient. It is common to have a mix of shallow rolling scars, deep ice pick scars, and boxcar scars.

Potenza can precisely adjust needle depth from 0.5mm to 3.5mm, allowing energy delivery to be tailored to the type and depth of the scar.

Even in cases with melasma and pigmentation issues, there is scientific evidence that Potenza's RF energy calms excited melanocytes, making it useful for addressing both acne scars and pigmentation concerns simultaneously.

The number of sessions and frequency are generally recommended to be 3-5 cumulative treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to match the skin's regeneration cycle.

While many experience smoother skin texture even after just one session, the fundamental regeneration of deep acne scars approaches completion as more sessions accumulate.

After the procedure, redness and pinpoint bleeding may appear, usually subsiding within 1-2 days. Individual differences may cause it to last up to 1 week, depending on skin type and treatment intensity.

For 1-2 days after the procedure, avoid heat stimulation such as saunas, strenuous exercise, and alcohol, and diligently use moisturizers and sunscreens to promote faster recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can I see results for acne scars with just one Potenza session?

A. Since the goal for acne scars is dermal reconstruction, it is difficult to expect dramatic changes with just one session. While you may feel a smoother skin texture after one session, the fundamental filling of deep scars approaches completion through 3-5 cumulative treatments at Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic.

Q. How are Potenza, Secret, and Sylfirm different?

A. The basic principle is the same, but the pumping tip that pushes skin boosters deep into the dermal layer can only be used with Potenza. When combining skin boosters for acne scars, this difference directly impacts the results at Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic.

Q. What is the downtime after the procedure?

A. Immediately after the procedure, redness and pinpoint bleeding may occur and usually subside within 1-2 days. Depending on your skin condition and treatment intensity, it may last up to 1 week. As this procedure aims to improve acne scars, Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic also provides guidance on recovery process management.

Q. When can I apply makeup after Potenza treatment?

A. It is possible from the next day, but it is recommended to avoid it for about 3 days to protect the skin. Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic provides detailed post-care instructions after the procedure.
