Worried about your pores? A candid review of 'Potenza + Juvelook' by a TripDoc staff member
2026.07.24
"Your skin looks so good lately!"
This is the phrase I've heard the most recently.
In fact, I didn't change my skincare products or put in extra effort into my routine. The only difference was that I received POTENZA and Juvelook treatments at a dermatology clinic to address my long-standing concern about enlarged pores.
In this post, I will share an honest review of my pore treatment experience as a TripDoc employee, covering everything from the treatment principles to the actual changes I felt.
Why do pores get larger over time?
Many people think of pores simply as "holes caused by excess sebum," but in reality, various factors work together.
Increased sebum secretion
Loss of elasticity due to skin aging
Repeated acne and inflammation
Collagen reduction due to UV exposure
In particular, when collagen in the skin decreases, the support for the pores weakens, making them appear larger.
That is why, recently, treatments that induce collagen regeneration within the skin are preferred over just managing the skin surface.

Why are POTENZA + Juvelook highly recommended?
① POTENZA
POTENZA is a treatment that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy into the skin using micro-needles to induce internal regeneration.
Simply put, it creates small regenerative signals within the skin to promote the production of collagen and elastin.
Expected Effects
Pore improvement
Skin texture improvement
Acne scar reduction
Fine line and elasticity improvement
② Juvelook
Juvelook is a skin booster that helps with collagen production.
Its characteristic is that it naturally induces collagen production over time, making the skin firmer.
Why get both treatments together?
If POTENZA creates an environment for skin regeneration,
Juvelook further activates collagen production during that process, helping to enhance the effects on skin texture and pore improvement.
This is why it is a frequently recommended combination for those concerned about both pores and skin texture.
My Personal Experience
My biggest concerns were the pores on my nose and cheeks.
When I wore makeup, foundation would settle into my pores, and my skin texture looked rougher under bright lights.
After a consultation and checking my skin condition, I proceeded with the POTENZA and Juvelook treatments.
The procedure started after applying enough numbing cream; there was a stinging sensation, but it was more tolerable than I expected.
The treatment took about 30 minutes.
There was some redness immediately after, but it subsided over time, and I recovered by following the provided aftercare instructions.
The Most Satisfying Changes
A few days later, the first thing I noticed was my skin texture.
My skin felt much smoother when washing my face, and my makeup adhered much better than before.
In particular, as time passed, the pores around my nose and cheeks became less noticeable, which gave me great satisfaction whenever I looked in the mirror.
Most of all, I remember hearing from people around me:
"Your skin looks so good!"
"Are you getting treatments lately?"
Of course, pores don't disappear completely, but I could definitely feel the change in my skin becoming firmer and looking cleaner.
Recommended for
✔ Those concerned about pores on the nose and cheeks
✔ Those who want to improve skin texture as well
✔ Those with mild acne scars
✔ Those who want to boost their skin condition before an important event or trip
Things to know before treatment
POTENZA and Juvelook have relatively fast recovery times, but depending on individual skin conditions, redness or minor scabbing may occur.
Also, pores do not disappear completely with a single treatment; more satisfying results can be expected when a treatment plan tailored to your skin condition and consistent care are combined.
TripDoc Employee's One-Line Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Willingness to repeat: Yes
I've tried various home care methods for my pores, but the most satisfying changes came from treatments that help with regeneration from within the skin.
The biggest changes were that my makeup applied better and my skin texture became smoother.
If you feel stressed every time you look in the mirror because of your pores, I recommend choosing a treatment that fits your skin condition through a thorough consultation with a medical professional.
