Potenza Laser : Japanese So Crazy About This Laser That They Fly to Korea During the Weekend
Recently, Japanese patients have been visiting Korean hospitals quite frequently, and what’s noteworthy is that they are all coming for a procedure called “POTENZA.” Dr. Kim, who works at a large clinic in Seoul, initially thought that some of these Japanese patients might have learned about it through acquaintances in Korea. However, as the number of patients seeking the same treatment increased, he decided to ask one of the Japanese patients who had limited knowledge of Korean.
Dr. Kim: (awkwardly in Japanese) How did you come to know about the POTENZA procedure?
Japanese Patient: (widening her eyes) POTENZA is incredibly popular in Japan right now!
Upon hearing this, Dr. Kim investigated further through various channels and discovered that it was indeed true. POTENZA has gained immense popularity in Japan, and it has gone beyond that. POTENZA lasers have formed a business partnership with Cynosure, a leading laser company in the United States, and they are selling rapidly in the US and South America. Even famous American celebrity Kim Kardashian is known to favor this procedure, further boosting its fame.
Let’s find out what makes POTENZA so captivating to people worldwide.
1. Invasive Fractional RF (Radio Frequency) Laser
This might sound a bit complex, but in simple terms, it involves several tiny needles being inserted into the skin while delivering high-frequency energy inside the skin. High-frequency refers to a type of electrical current that passes through the skin tissue, creating electrical resistance. This generates heat that stimulates fibroblasts and promotes collagen regeneration. As a result, it visibly improves overall skin texture, including reducing fine lines and shrinking pores.
2. 14 Different Needle Types + Pumping Tips
What sets POTENZA apart from other invasive fractional RF lasers is the wide variety of tips available—14 different types, to be exact. These tips allow for personalized treatments because they have varying depths of needle penetration tailored to specific areas of treatment. Additionally, I-type tips have insulated needles, concentrating current energy at the tips, making them highly effective for treating conditions like acne by destroying sebaceous glands. On the other hand, N-type tips, with non-insulated needles, evenly distribute high-frequency energy within the dermis, leading to improvements in skin texture, pore reduction, and addressing pigment issues like melasma and redness.
Recently, a new pumping tip was added, enabling treatments like skin boosting, which were traditionally done with devices like DermaShine or HyCoox. Personally, I believe that using POTENZA for skin boosting treatments results in lower drug loss and less discomfort.
3. Versatility in Switching Between Monopolar RF and Bipolar RF
High-frequency energy can be broadly categorized into Monopolar and Bipolar modes, each with its own advantages. Monopolar delivers heat energy deep into the skin, leading to skin tightening and lifting, while Bipolar focuses on a slightly shallower layer for excellent skin texture improvement and pore reduction. The ability to switch between these two modes at will is a significant advantage for practitioners.
By this point, POTENZA seems like an all-purpose device. In reality, even just one or two sessions can yield noticeable results, making it the talk of the town worldwide. Especially when it comes to improving skin texture and shrinking pores, it’s as if the skin becomes as smooth as an eggshell, much to the delight of patients.
While the equipment is essential, it’s worth noting that the skill and meticulousness of the practitioner still play a significant role in the treatment’s outcome. So, I encourage everyone to carefully review the post-treatment reviews of the hospital you plan to visit.
I wish all of you the smoothest, radiant skin, as brilliant as a pearl!
