Visiting Korea for skincare is becoming increasingly popular. Seoul, especially the Hongdae and Gangnam areas, is known as a global hub for advanced dermatology treatments. Among the many options available, Potenza Agnes is gaining attention for its effectiveness in treating stubborn acne, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture.


What is Potenza Agnes?

Potenza Agnes uses ultra-fine micro-needles to reach deep into the sebaceous glands, delivering precise RF (radiofrequency) energy. This process selectively destroys overactive sebaceous glands, reducing oil production and preventing recurring breakouts.

The treatment is suitable for:

  • Persistent or nodular acne

  • Excess sebum and oily skin

  • Enlarged pores

  • Acne scars and rough skin texture

  • Syringomas (small benign bumps around the eyes)


Benefits of Potenza Agnes

  • Long-term acne recurrence prevention

  • Pore tightening and skin texture improvement

  • Oil control for a clearer, fresher look

  • Minimal downtime compared to surgical methods


What to Expect During Treatment

  1. Consultation: A doctor examines your skin and recommends a customized plan.

  2. Numbing Cream: Applied to minimize discomfort.

  3. Micro-needle RF Application: Targets sebaceous glands precisely.

  4. Aftercare: Temporary redness or small scabs may appear, but recovery is fast.

Most patients see results after 3 sessions spaced one month apart.
