POTENZA PRIME CASE STUDY · MAN IN HIS 30s
Before and 1 month after a single POTENZA PRIME treatment.
This case features a male patient in his 30s who underwent POTENZA PRIME treatment with McCoom for facial redness, rough skin texture, and darkened, clogged pores. We compare photographs taken before treatment and one month afterward from several angles.
Before treatment / 1 month after treatment. Results vary from person to person.
CASE
About This Case
The patient is a man in his 30s who was concerned about facial redness, rough texture, and blackheads.
He came to us because his skin was prone to redness and he was concerned about roughness and visible pores.
He chose POTENZA PRIME treatment with McCoom.
DETAIL
A Closer Look: Front and Side Comparisons
We examine redness, overall skin texture, and the appearance of pores from frontal, side, and angled views.
BEFORE
Before Treatment
Before treatment, the skin had a rough texture, with prominent pores particularly on the cheeks and between the eyebrows, as well as visible blackheads.
1 MONTH LATER
1 Month After Treatment
Downtime after POTENZA treatment is generally around one week. Changes in radiance and dullness may become noticeable afterward. These photographs show the patient’s condition one month after treatment.
DOCTOR’S COMMENT
POTENZA PRIME: One-Month Follow-Up
Although some changes are difficult to capture in photographs, the skin appears less rough and dull compared with before treatment.
The pores remain visible, but their appearance is gradually becoming tighter.
We can see a change in skin texture after one session. However, approximately three to five sessions are generally needed for more substantial pore improvement, so we consider this an intermediate stage of treatment. Our clinic often uses a three-session course as an initial guide.
TREATMENT
Treatment Process and Pricing
During your consultation, we assess your skin condition and concerns, then recommend suitable formulations and treatment methods. Same-day treatment may be available if you wish.
We tailor the treatment to your skin condition and goals.
We recommend treatment options based on your concerns, including pores, redness, melasma, and overall skin texture.
You do not have to decide between McCoom and Juvelook
before your visit.
We will first examine your skin and decide together
which treatment approach is appropriate.
About POTENZA PRIME
Answers to common questions about results, session frequency, how PRIME differs from earlier POTENZA devices, treatment options, downtime, and aftercare.
How It Works
Very fine needles enter the skin and deliver radiofrequency energy through their tips. This treatment is designed to stimulate collagen production and may improve the appearance of pores, acne scars, and skin texture.
When Changes May Appear
Some patients notice changes in tightness, firmness, and texture within several days to one week. More gradual changes may become apparent around one month after treatment.
Typical Number of Sessions
Improvements in firmness or radiance may be noticeable after one treatment, but approximately three to five sessions are often recommended for pores and acne scars.
Results and Treatment Frequency
Q How many treatments are recommended, and how often should I have them?
Some patients notice improvements in firmness or glow after just one session.
However, approximately three to five sessions are generally recommended for concerns such as pores and acne scars.
Treatments are usually spaced four to six weeks apart (approximately once a month).
How POTENZA PRIME Differs From Earlier POTENZA Devices
Q What is the difference between POTENZA and POTENZA PRIME?
POTENZA PRIME offers more options for tailoring the procedure to each patient’s skin condition.
Drug Delivery: The updated needling process is designed to deliver the selected formulation more broadly into targeted skin layers.
Tip Options: More tip options are available than with earlier systems, including VMLS tips that can address multiple depths in one treatment.
Radiofrequency: Additional configurations, including those designed to deliver RF energy along the needle, may provide heating across both superficial and deeper skin layers.
Melasma and Redness: Improved tips and modes for vascular concerns associated with redness and uneven pigmentation allow treatment intensity to be adjusted.
Choosing a Formulation: McCoom or Juvelook?
With POTENZA PRIME drug delivery, the formulation is chosen according to your skin condition and goals. Rather than asking which one is better, it is important to consider what you most want to improve when deciding between them.
McCoom
For those seeking smoother skin texture, particularly with unevenness and pitted acne scars.
- Concerned about uneven acne scarring
- Want to focus on pitted or crater-like scars
- Want a smoother-looking skin surface
Juvelook
For those looking to improve overall facial skin quality, including pores, fine lines, firmness, and texture.
- Concerned about enlarged pores
- Concerned about fine lines or loss of firmness
- Want to improve overall skin texture
McCoom and Juvelook are both formulations intended to encourage your skin’s own collagen production. Results are not complete immediately after a session; we monitor progress based on your skin condition and the depth of any acne scars.
Many patients have more than one concern, such as visible pores, acne scars, redness, or rough texture. We examine your skin and recommend a suitable formulation and, where appropriate, complementary treatment.
What Sets Houreisen Skin Clinic Apart
Q What are the advantages of having POTENZA PRIME at Houreisen Skin Clinic?
At all three of our clinics, we use one full vial of the selected formulation per patient per session. We dilute it to the concentration recommended by the manufacturer and use the vial to provide the quantity needed for full-face treatment.
Based on our clinic’s own assessment, this is approximately two to three times the amount previously used as a reference. Dilution methods and quantities vary by medical institution, so this is not a comparison with every clinic.
In addition, at all three locations, nurses with experience performing earlier POTENZA treatments have received training directly from the manufacturer. POTENZA PRIME cases are also shared across our clinics.
Using more product is not automatically better. It is important to use an appropriate quantity based on the formulation, concentration, treatment area, and skin condition.
Side Effects and Downtime
Q What symptoms can occur after treatment, and how long do they last?
Although recovery varies by person, redness, swelling, puffiness, stinging, and small bruises may occur for several days.
Small scabs or peeling may also occur for several days to around one week.
Q How can I care for my skin to reduce downtime?
Because the skin may be red, swollen, or sensitive after treatment, use a gentle, low-irritation moisturizer and keep it well hydrated.
Rubbing peeling skin may increase the risk of infection, inflammation, or pigmentation changes. Handle your skin gently and avoid friction.
Your skin may be more sensitive to ultraviolet exposure following treatment. Protect it from the sun throughout the year.
Aftercare and Daily Activities
Q Can I take a bath, use a sauna, drink alcohol, or exercise on the treatment day?
Please avoid these activities on the day of treatment. Showering is permitted on the same day.
Q Can I wear makeup or wash my face on the treatment day?
Makeup and washing with a facial cleanser are permitted 12 hours after treatment.
Please wait one week before resuming exfoliating products, tretinoin, high-strength vitamin A products, or acne medications.
Q Can I follow my usual skincare routine?
After treatment, the skin may be dry and prone to flaking for several days to one week. Moisturize thoroughly with a gentle product and use sun protection when going outdoors.
Q When can I have a facial massage or beauty treatment?
Avoid facial massages and salon facials for one week.
