Lately, my pores in the butterfly zone have noticeably widened and acne scars look more prominent, so I am looking into the Potenza treatment and writing to inquire.
I've seen a lot of recommendations on YouTube saying that Potenza is effective for improving pores and skin texture, so I'm considering getting the treatment this month.
However, since my skin is thin and I am very sensitive to pain, I haven't been able to muster the courage to try it right away, so I am writing this post to ask for advice from those who have already received it.
I searched online and found many reviews saying it is quite painful even with anesthetic cream applied. I am curious whether the pain is severe enough to bring tears to my eyes, especially when treating areas with enlarged pores like the nose or butterfly zone, and if it is bearable compared to other painful procedures like Rejuran or Fraxel.
I would also like to know how many days the downtime, such as facial redness or swelling, lasts immediately after the procedure.
I am also curious about the usual recommended number of sessions suggested by the hospital to ensure the full effects of the Potenza treatment.
I was thinking of trying just one session first because the cost of paying for a package is high, but I heard that it is difficult to see dramatic results with just one session.
Usually, do I need to receive Potenza treatments regularly at least 3 to 5 times or more to feel a noticeable reduction in pore size or improved elasticity?
If there are any of you who have actually received the recommended number of Potenza treatments, I would appreciate it if you could share your honest reviews on whether you were satisfied with the improvement in pores or scars enough to feel the money was worth it.
