Potenza for Acne Scars in Seoul: Where It Fits in a Scar Plan
Yes, as one option rather than the whole plan. AUVEL Clinic lists Potenza, a microneedle radiofrequency device, on its scar page next to CO2 Fractional Laser, TCA CROSS, CureJet, PicoPlus and skin boosters. The combination is chosen per scar, considering its shape and location along with the patient's sex, age and skin type.

The question the scar page opens with
AUVEL Clinic's scar page does not start with a device. It starts with two questions patients tend to arrive with: will a CO2 Fractional laser improve every scar, and will Potenza really make scars better?
The page answers both the same way. Each scar is looked at for its shape and location, and the patient for sex, age and skin type, and a combination is put together for that scar. Potenza is on the list, but it is one of six options on that list.
That framing matters if you found this page by searching for Potenza by name. The device is available. Whether it is the right piece for your scars is a separate question, and it is answered at the consultation.
What Potenza does, in the clinic's own description
Potenza is a microneedle radiofrequency device. Fine needles go into the skin and deliver RF heat energy below the surface. The clinic's equipment page describes it as combining microneedling and RF energy to help improve skin texture and elasticity.
Its listed uses are broader than scars: pores, scars, acne, pigmentation and fine lines. You will find it on three of the clinic's laser pages (Scar, Acne and Pores). That suggests it is used across several plans and not kept for one concern.
- Scar page: alongside CO2 Fractional Laser, TCA CROSS, CureJet, PicoPlus and skin boosters
- Acne page: alongside Clarity II, Gold PTT, AGNES and skin boosters
- Pores page: alongside PicoPlus, CureJet, Clarity II, Gold PTT, AGNES and skin boosters
Acne scars are one type among five
The scar page sorts scars into five groups: acne scars, surgical scars, burn scars, keloid scars and stretch marks. Acne scars are only the first of them, and the page's point is that these are not treated as one condition.
Two neighboring pages add useful distinctions. The acne page lists red marks as their own type, separate from active acne. The pores page lists scar pores as a pore type of their own. If you are not sure which of these you have, that uncertainty is exactly what the first appointment is for.
The other five options on the scar list
Seeing the full list makes it easier to understand why a plan may include Potenza, leave it out, or pair it with something else. Each device is described by the clinic as doing a different job.
- CO2 Fractional Laser: delivers fine laser beams into the skin for skin regeneration and scar treatment, promoting collagen production
- TCA CROSS: applies a strong chemical solution (TCA) locally to scars to induce collagen production
- CureJet: delivers active ingredients such as Botox and Rejuran into the skin without a needle
- PicoPlus: a picosecond laser listed for blemishes and tattoo removal
- Skin Booster: an injection that delivers nutrients and moisture deep into the skin
What the price table says about Potenza
The clinic's price table lists Potenza from ₩350,000 + VAT, which is ₩385,000 including VAT, or roughly $280 at an approximate exchange rate. The same line notes that cost is added depending on the treatment area and the number of sessions.
A Potenza CP tip combined with Juvelook 3cc is not on that table, so its price is confirmed over WhatsApp. The table does not say how many sessions a given scar needs, and neither will this article. Which tip is used, whether anything is added, and how many sessions make sense are decided after the scars have been examined.
