What is microneedling, and is it right for me?
At Liftique, facial microneedling is performed as POTENZA RF microneedling: fine needles deliver radiofrequency energy into the dermis to improve pores, texture, acne scars, elasticity and fine lines. It is typically planned as 3–6 sessions four weeks apart, with gradual collagen-driven change. Redness and fine crusting usually settle within 1–3 days. Prices start from ₩150,000 (VAT excl.) near Sinsa Station, Seoul.
Refined, even-looking skin – built from within
Microneedling works with your skin's own repair cycle. Tiny, controlled micro-channels prompt the skin to renew itself, and when radiofrequency energy is added at the needle tips, that energy reaches the dermis directly – the layer where collagen lives.
At Liftique we use two microneedling approaches, each with a clear purpose. For the face, we use POTENZA RF microneedling, where the tip type and needle depth are selected for your goal; scar, pore and acne sebaceous-gland treatments are all designed on a single device. For the scalp, MTS microneedling is used to deliver exosomes as part of our Scalp Exosome treatment.
Enlarged or sagging pores
RF energy delivered into the dermis may help pores look tighter and more refined over a course of sessions.
Rough skin texture
For skin that feels uneven or looks dull under light, microneedling supports gradual, collagen-led smoothing.
Acne scars
Tip and depth are chosen for scar treatment, and Potenza can be combined with other scar treatments when your dermatologist advises it.
Recurrent inflammatory acne
An acne treatment mode targets the sebaceous glands, a different goal from scar or pore work, planned at consultation.
Reduced elasticity and fine lines
Stimulating the dermis may help skin feel firmer and fine lines look softer as collagen renews.
Thinning hair (scalp)
For early-stage hair loss, MTS microneedling delivers ASCE+ HRLV exosomes into the scalp to support the follicle environment.
How Liftique performs microneedling

Diagnosis
Your visit begins with a dermatologist consultation supported by 2D Mark-Vu skin analysis and 3D EVE MUSE facial analysis, so pores, texture and scarring are assessed objectively before any plan is made.
-
A purpose-built plan
Your dermatologist chooses the Potenza tip (such as the I tip or a single-needle tip) and the needle depth for your concern – scars, pores or acne – and explains the number of sessions and the cost before you decide.
-
Comfortable treatment
Our pain-control system – numbing cream, fine-needle injection, nerve block and oral analgesics as needed – is included at no extra cost. Sleep sedation is available for ₩200,000 and requires an 8-hour fast. Facial treatment typically takes 20–30 minutes.
-
Soothing care and follow-up
Post-procedure soothing care is included. If you are flying home, your doctor can continue to follow your progress by photo.
