🔬 What Is POTENZA? 3 Key Features
POTENZA is a skin-rejuvenating device developed by Jeisys.
💉 It is a needle RF treatment device that inserts microneedles into the skin and delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy directly from the needle tips.
When energy is delivered directly to the dermis, the skin works to repair the controlled damage by increasing production of elastin and collagen, which supports skin regeneration.
🌟 POTENZA has three main features:
- 💊 Simultaneous RF delivery and topical agent infusion
- 😌 Minimal discomfort during treatment
- 🎯 A variety of tips to suit different skin concerns
Read on for a detailed explanation of each feature 👇
💊 ① Simultaneous RF Delivery and Topical Agent Infusion
POTENZA uses a “Drug Delivery System” that infuses topical agents using air pressure as the needles are withdrawn.
This Drug Delivery System allows agents to be distributed evenly, making it possible to deliver a substantial amount of agent deep into the skin.
✨ Because agents are selected to match each individual’s concerns, this system is used in the treatment of a wide range of skin concerns.
😌 ② Minimal Discomfort During Treatment
🎉 POTENZA is a microneedle RF device designed to minimize discomfort. The reasons discomfort tends to be low include 👇
- 📏 Adjustable needle depth and density
- ⚡ Adjustable needle insertion speed
- 🌀 Skin suction during needle insertion
Needle depth and density can be adjusted to suit each patient’s condition, making this a treatment approach with reduced discomfort.
Additionally, POTENZA applies suction to the skin while inserting the needles. Because the skin is not pushed down by the needles, unnecessary friction is avoided, further reducing discomfort.
📊 Compared with conventional devices, discomfort has been reduced by approximately half.

🎯 ③ A Variety of Tips to Suit Different Skin Concerns
✨ POTENZA allows the tip to be changed based on each patient’s skin concerns and skin type, enabling a treatment approach tailored to the individual.
Tips are components fitted to the end of the treatment handpiece and come pre-loaded with needles.
The tips used with POTENZA are divided into four categories according to treatment purpose 👇
- 🩹 Scar treatment / Wrinkles / Rejuvenation
- 🟤 Melasma / Rosacea / Pores
- ✨ Wrinkles / Rejuvenation
- 🔴 Acne
Even tips that may be effective for the same concern differ in needle count and length. By selecting the most appropriate tip, it is possible to target the underlying cause of the condition during treatment.
✨ What Skin Benefits Can POTENZA Offer? 4 Indications
🌟 POTENZA may offer the following cosmetic benefits 👇
- ① Improvement in wrinkles and enlarged nasal pores
- ② 🟤 Improvement in melasma
- ③ 🔴 Improvement in acne and facial redness
- ④ 🕳️ Improvement in acne scars and crater-type scarring
Below, we explain the mechanism behind each of these four indications.
① Improvement in Wrinkles and Enlarged Nasal Pores
POTENZA may help improve wrinkles and enlarged pores.
A key cause of wrinkles and skin laxity is a decrease in collagen. When collagen decreases due to aging or UV exposure, the balance of collagen in the dermis is disrupted, leading to a loss of skin elasticity and firmness.
✨ POTENZA works directly on the dermis and stimulates collagen production, which may support improvement in wrinkles and enlarged pores.

② 🟤 Improvement in Melasma
POTENZA may help improve the appearance of melasma.
Melasma is a form of pigmentation caused by the activation of “melanocytes” in the skin. POTENZA directly targets melanocytes and may help suppress melanin production.
Because this approach does not destroy melanocytes, it may allow for the treatment of melasma while reducing the risks of side effects, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and recurrence that can be associated with conventional melasma treatments.
The risk of “depigmentation” is also considered lower, making POTENZA a viable treatment option for melasma 👍

③ 🔴 Improvement in Acne and Facial Redness
POTENZA may also help improve acne and facial redness.
By inserting needles into the skin and delivering thermal energy directly to the affected area, POTENZA targets the sebaceous glands, which are a source of acne.
🎉 Once sebaceous glands are damaged in this way, they do not regenerate, which may make it easier to address recurring acne at its source.
POTENZA may be effective for whiteheads, blackheads, and inflammatory acne.
In addition, because POTENZA may help reduce angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), it may also support improvement in facial redness associated with angiogenesis or acne.

④ 🕳️ Improvement in Acne Scars and Crater-Type Scarring
POTENZA may be effective in treating acne scars and crater-type scarring through the following two mechanisms 👇
- 🔥 Thermal energy delivered by RF
- 🔄 Promotion of skin cell turnover via microneedles
When thermal energy from RF is applied, proteins in the dermis contract, which may contribute to skin tightening and lifting.
Furthermore, the wound-healing response triggered by the thermal impact of RF and the micro-channels created by the needles may promote skin cell turnover and collagen production.
✨ As the skin is tightened, improvement in acne scars and crater-type scarring may become noticeable.

📊 How Many Sessions Until Results Are Noticeable? Results May Be Felt from the First Session
🎉 POTENZA is a treatment where some patients may notice a difference after just one session. Results tend to become more apparent around 1 to 1.5 months after treatment.
Undergoing multiple sessions with POTENZA may lead to more pronounced results over time.
📅 The recommended treatment interval is once every 1.5 to 2 months, and undergoing approximately 3 sessions may allow results to be maintained for around one year.
Treatment frequency may also vary depending on the concern being addressed 👇
- 🟤 For melasma treatment → approximately once every 2 weeks
- 🔴 For acne treatment → approximately once every 2 to 3 months
