Potenza

A radiofrequency platform described by Clair for skin texture, pores and scar-related concerns. Treatment mode and tip selection depend on the condition being assessed.

How the approach works.

The official page includes microneedle delivery of radiofrequency energy and different treatment modes. The number of passes, depth and settings are clinical choices rather than fixed website promises.

Understanding the anatomy

AI-generated educational illustrations, not patient photographs or treatment results. Simplified and not to scale; they do not show an individual treatment plan.

Skin surface

A magnified surface view shows fine skin grooves and small openings.

Layers below the surface

The epidermis sits above the dermis, with subcutaneous fat deeper below. Layer thickness is schematic.

How microneedle radiofrequency is illustrated

Clair uses these three drawings to explain a microneedle radiofrequency mode. They show needle access, energy delivery and the marked treatment zones. Other tips work differently.

  1. Cross-section illustration with a treatment tip and fine needles extending into the skin.

    Microneedle access

    The drawing shows fine needles entering the skin. The clinician selects the tip and depth for the assessed concern; the diagram does not prescribe a depth.

  2. Microneedles in a skin cross-section with red areas around the needle tips.

    Radiofrequency delivery

    Radiofrequency energy is delivered through the microneedle mode. The red areas illustrate energy delivery rather than a measured temperature or a patient result.

  3. A lifted microneedle tip above the skin, with blue columns marking treatment zones in the cross-section.

    Marked treatment zones

    The clinic labels the colored columns as coagulation zones, shown as the tip lifts away. This is an explanatory drawing, not a picture of healed skin or a treatment outcome.

Products and equipment shown by Clair

Rendered treatment tip with a cluster of fine needles above a transparent housing.

Microneedle tip illustration

The official page uses this rendering for its invasive radiofrequency mode. Fine needles provide access through the skin; the exact tip and settings are selected individually.

Rendered tip with a flat dark contact surface and round gold-colored electrodes.

Surface-contact tip illustration

Clair uses this rendering for its non-invasive radiofrequency mode, with electrodes contacting the skin surface. It is an alternative tip format, not the next step after microneedling.

These are examples listed by the clinic. Your clinician confirms the exact product, tip and availability.

What the consultation considers.

  • Texture and pores

  • Scar assessment

  • Tip and mode

This is a starting point for a consultation, not an individual treatment recommendation.

Structures to discuss

AI-generated educational illustrations, not patient photographs or treatment results. Simplified and not to scale; they do not show an individual treatment plan.

Fine needles cross the skin surface with localized amber regions around their distal segments.
Radiofrequency microneedles

Microneedles can deliver RF energy within tissue. The small colored regions are conceptual, not a device protocol.

Recovery, risks & limits.

Some reactions can be temporary; complications can also require treatment. This is not an exhaustive list.

Redness, swelling, pain, irritation and infection may occur.

The FDA has received reports of burns, scars, fat loss and nerve injury with certain uses of RF microneedling.

The device, needle tip, settings and accompanying products need individual discussion.

Your timeline is individual.

Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.

Recovery and results vary. Your clinician should explain the procedure-specific risks and aftercare before you decide.

If you develop severe or worsening symptoms after treatment, seek medical attention rather than waiting for an online reply.

Representative surgeon · Plastic surgery specialist

A personal consultation with a plastic surgery specialist. Discuss your facial features, skin condition and treatment preferences before deciding on a plan.

Your questions, answered.

Does every Potenza treatment use the same tip?

No. Clair describes different tips and modes. Ask which is proposed, why it fits your concern and what recovery it may involve.

How long should I stay in Korea?

Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.

Can I choose the procedure before an examination?

You can explore your options first. The final plan requires an examination, a discussion of alternatives and informed consent. Choosing no treatment is also an option.

How is the cost decided?

The clinic confirms the proposed method, treatment area and product or equipment before giving an individual quote. Ask what is included in follow-up care.

What should I disclose before treatment?

Tell the clinician about previous procedures, implants, medication, allergies and health conditions. Bring available details of earlier injections or surgery.
