Even though it’s the same Potenza RF, why do the reviews vary so much?

Even though it’s the same Potenza RF, why do the reviews vary so much?

Even though it’s the same Potenza RF, why do the reviews vary so much?

Even when it’s the same microneedle RF treatment, reviews can vary widely because the tip, depth, energy level, and number of sessions are different each time. We’ve put together a simple guide on how to read reviews.

It’s the same Potenza RF,

so why are the reviews so divided?


If you search for the same procedure name,

the reviews are often all over the place.


Some people say, 'The skin texture became completely refined,'

while others say, 'I don't notice a big change.'


Same device, same name,

so why are the results so different?


Reading reviews can even make you wonder

whether it all comes down to luck.


In fact, even if the name 'Potenza RF' is the same,

the tips, depth, and output inside can be completely different.


It is less a single procedure with one name,

and more like several different treatments.


This is the biggest reason why reviews vary so much.

It is right here.


The name of the treatment and the actual details

exist on completely different layers.



"포텐자 받았는데 변화를 모르겠어요" — 혹시 나에게 안 맞는 팁을 쓰진 않았나요?


Even with the same device, there are many kinds of tips

Microneedle RF devices usually

use a variety of tips.


There are insulated tips that protect the surface,

and tips that deliver heat throughout the entire needle.


The number and length of the needles also differ,

and the range for adjusting depth varies as well.


Depending on which tip is used and how deep it goes,

the layer reached by stimulation and the expected changes will differ.


The choice changes completely depending on whether the concern is pores, scars, or laxity.



Even on one person's face,

different tips may be used for different areas.



Even if you had treatment with the same device,

the actual 'configuration' applied can be completely different.







Depth and output

are entered as 'setting values'

Even when the same tip is used, the depth and output

are decided each time.



People with thin skin and people with thick skin

never use the same values.



If the treatment is too shallow, dermal stimulation is insufficient,

and if it is too deep, the recovery burden increases.



These settings are determined solely

by the practitioner's judgment.



Even with the same device, results vary depending on

how the practitioner sets it.



Because the skin condition is different at each session,

the settings are often adjusted slightly every time.



The idea that 'if the device is good, everything is the same'

is very far from reality.







Sessions and intervals also change the result

Microneedle RF is a treatment where changes become clearer

as sessions accumulate.



Rather than expecting a big change in one session,

it works by allowing collagen changes to build up over time.



That is why reviews saying 'I had it once and it was not great'

and 'It got better after several sessions' can coexist.



The interval between sessions also has

a very important effect on the results.



If the interval is too short, the stimulation accumulates too much,

and if it is too long, the effect can easily fade.



Before you have completed all sessions,

it is difficult to properly evaluate the effect.







Your own consultation is more accurate than reviews

Other people's reviews can be helpful,

but they are not based on the same settings as yours.



Even for a treatment with the same name,

how it will be applied to your skin is decided during consultation.



Before treatment, you should fully discuss your pore type,

recovery pattern, and condition.



That is how you maximize the result

within the same budget.



Rather than spending time searching for reviews,

it is far more important to have a thorough personal consultation.



That time will have a much more direct

effect on the result.





Frequently Asked Questions



Q. Is there a right answer for which tip is better

for pores?

A. There is no single tip that is always best.

The choice changes depending on the type and skin condition.



Q. Can the practitioner's technique

change the result?



A. Because the depth settings and stimulation patterns differ,

there will definitely be differences in the results, even with the same device.



Q. If I get treatment at a place with good reviews,

is it safe?

A. Whether the settings are right for your skin

is a separate matter.
