Question about a procedure! I'm debating between Potenza and Secret for pore-minimizing treatments.
Hello, Free Board members! I usually get a lot of great tips here whenever I have skin concerns, but today I am writing to ask for advice because I have trouble making a decision. ㅠㅠ When I was in my 20s, I didn't even know what pores were, but now that I'm in my mid-30s, I can see them stretching out vertically rather than horizontally, especially around the butterfly zone, so clearly with the naked eye.
Every time I look in the mirror, all I see are my pores, and when I apply foundation, it settles right into them, so I get stressed even when I do my makeup. Since my pores are sagging due to a loss of elasticity, it seems there are clear limits to what cosmetics can do, so I’m finally thinking of turning to the power of laser treatments. Haha. After searching hard, I found that Potenza and Secret, which are radiofrequency microneedle treatments, are mentioned as the two top contenders for being effective for pores and scars, and I’m really torn about which one to choose.
I’d like to hear some genuine reviews from other members before I go for a consultation. Some people say Potenza is less painful because it offers many tip types for a customized treatment, while others say the opposite—Secret—provides a more 확실ly firming effect. I’m a bit of a wimp and sensitive to pain, so I’m wondering if it’s bearable if I apply plenty of numbing cream. I’d also like to know how long the downtime is, such as scabbing or redness, after the procedure! Since I work, I’m worried about whether I can cover it up with makeup when I get the treatment on the weekend and go to work on Monday. To those of you who have tried either Potenza or Secret, please share your vivid experiences in the comments on which one you were more satisfied with. It would be a huge help in making my decision.
