Shinya Sasagawa About Doctor
POTENZA is a cosmetic treatment that uses microneedles (ultra-fine needles) to apply RF (radio frequency) heat directly to the dermis,
activating fibroblasts in the dermis and promoting collagen production, which can tighten pores, improve acne and acne scars (craters),
and reduce melasma, redness, fine wrinkles, and skin tightening.
This treatment has a wide variety of tips to suit your concerns, and by using different tips.
Effects can be expected by wound healing, drugs, and RF (radio frequency).
The type of treatment
1.Treatment involves inserting microneedles (extremely fine needles) and applying RF (radio frequency) heat energy
2.In addition, there is a drug delivery function that delivers medicine evenly to suit your concerns.
3.There are tightening treatments that don’t use needles.
By using a needle-free tip called a “diamond tip,” you can receive tightening treatment while significantly reducing the strain and pain on your skin.
Our clinic uses the latest generation POTENZA.

Therapeutic Effects Obtained with POTENZA
POTENZA irradiates the dermis layer of the skin with RF (radio frequency) heat energy using microneedles (ultra-fine needles) or needle-free chips.
The needles create numerous small holes in the skin, stimulating fibroblasts to repair damaged tissue.
This activates the wound healing ability, promoting the growth of collagen and elastin.
Since RF (radio frequency) is emitted from the tip of the needle, a higher therapeutic effect can be expected.
Depending on the depth of the needles and the strength of the heat applied, it can be effective for a wide range of skin concerns, including acne, acne scars, pores, melasma, redness, and sagging skin.
In addition, the tightening treatment using a “diamond tip” that does not use needles irradiates two types of RF (radio frequency) simultaneously, transmitting heat energy evenly from the shallow to deep layers of the skin, and contracting collagen overall, resulting in an immediate skin tightening effect.
When the effects of treatment appear and how long they last
About microneedle (ultra-fine needle) treatment
Just after the treatment, skin redness will appear for a few hours to a few days, and other symptoms will naturally subside within a few days to a few weeks, allowing you to experience the effects of enlarged pores, dullness, fine lines, and sagging skin.
In addition, you can experience even greater therapeutic effects by introducing the necessary medication deep into the skin to address your skin concerns.
The results are most noticeable 1 to 3 months after treatment.
About needle-free “diamond tip” treatment
Results are immediate and usually visible within one month after treatment.
Since there are no needles, the surface of the skin is not damaged, and two types of RF (radio frequency) heat energy are quickly delivered from the epidermis to the dermis, allowing you to feel a stronger tightening effect immediately.
After treatment, it will take approximately 1 to 3 months for you to see the results.
Since better results can be expected with multiple treatments, we recommend receiving 3-5 treatments every 4-6 weeks.
Pain level during POTENZA treatment
Treatment for Potenza may involve some pain, such as:
– Stinging and stabbing pain
Pain can be alleviated by using anesthesia.
Pain and precautions after POTENZA treatment
There is very little pain after the POTENZA treatment.
Some people experience redness, swelling, heat, stinging, and dryness due to the thermal energy of RF (radio frequency), so we recommend using an optional calming pack.
Side effects and disadvantages of POTENZA
Swelling of the skin
After treatment, your skin may swell or become puffy, but this will usually improve within a few hours to a few days, although this will vary from person to person.
Skin becomes dry
The area exposed to heat energy may dry out.
Skin redness, tingling
After treatment, you may experience temporary redness.
Skin burns and blisters
Heat buildup deep within the skin can cause burns and blisters, which will require medical treatment.
Tips for preventing side effects from treatment
If your skin is dry, the downtime after treatment may be longer, so we recommend that you pay attention to your daily skin care.
Also, be careful of sunburn.
By using skin care products and medical cosmetics that are suited to your skin after treatment, you can reduce downtime and further experience the effects of Potenza.
We also offer skin care recommendations tailored to your needs.
