Daerim Station Dermatology Specialist HYLACELL Treatment, Restoring Damaged Skin Barrier Care

Hello,

I’m Kang In-jeong, the chief director of The River Dermatology :)

After the cherry blossom season has passed, the temperature has now risen enough that wearing short sleeves during the day no longer feels awkward.

In the mornings and evenings, there is still a chilly difference in temperature, so the number of patients with colds is gradually increasing, and in the clinic as well, we are turning the air conditioner on and off and opening and closing the windows, experiencing the change of seasons firsthand these days :)

Today, I’d like to write about the HYLACELL treatment that we provide at our clinic.

What is HYLACELL treatment at Daerim Station Dermatology?

As indicated by the wording on the outer packaging, HYLACELL is called a “sticky transparent wound dressing.”

Wound dressing: A wound dressing refers to a medical material used to protect a wound area from contamination, manage exudate, and maintain a moist environment suitable for wound healing.

Wound dressings are divided into various forms,

including film types, foam types, gel types, and more.

Among them, HYLACELL is a gel-type wound dressing,

and it has the characteristic of naturally adhering when applied to the skin.

“Sticky” means that it naturally adheres to the skin without the need for a separate bandage,

and through this feature, it forms a thin protective layer over the skin.

This protective layer helps protect the skin from external irritants and creates an environment that is favorable for skin recovery.

Main ingredients of HYLACELL HYLACELL is largely composed of three ingredients.

✔ Hyaluronic acid

→ Helps maintain skin moisture and restore the barrier

✔ Alginate

→ Soothes the skin and forms a protective layer

→ Protects the skin from external irritants

✔ Lactic acid (AHA family)

→ A relatively gentle exfoliating ingredient

→ Helps refine skin texture and retain moisture

These three ingredients work together

to help soothe damaged skin and restore the barrier.

Synergistic effect with LDM ultrasound care

At the dermatology clinic near Daerim Station,

we provide HYLACELL treatment together with LDM care, which is approved as a medical device :)

HYLACELL LDM care

LDM care is an ultrasound treatment that uses triple-frequency waves,

and LDM care alone can help stabilize a weakened skin barrier,

but when LDM care is performed after applying HYLACELL,

it may help with ingredient absorption and may also have a positive effect on improving the skin dermal environment.

In addition,

because HYLACELL and LDM care are both relatively low in irritation,

people with sensitive skin can approach the treatment with less 부담, and

it has the advantage of allowing daily life without separate downtime.

Who is HYLACELL treatment appropriate for?

As mentioned earlier when looking at the ingredients and effects of HYLACELL, HYLACELL helps heal damaged skin and mucosal areas by absorbing inflammation, and promotes moisture supply and skin regeneration,

✔ Atopic dermatitis

✔ Seborrheic dermatitis

✔ Contact dermatitis

✔ Dry, tight, itchy, and sensitive skin

✔ Sunburn

and other conditions

It can be applied when the skin barrier is damaged and soothing and protection are needed.

However,

if dermatitis is very severe or if there is suspicion of a secondary infection accompanying the dermatitis,

a decision on whether another therapeutic approach is needed first should take priority,

so

after a doctor’s diagnosis,

it is important to determine the appropriate treatment direction.

HYLACELL recognized non-covered treatment in Yeongdeungpo

HYLACELL is a class 2 sterile medical device that has been approved, and when performed to treat dermatitis according to medical necessity,

recognized non-covered treatment can be applied after National Health Insurance care.

However, whether actual insurance reimbursement is available

depends on the diagnosis of the patient’s condition and the terms of the insurance policy you have signed up for,

so an individual check after the consultation is necessary.

To summarize HYLACELL treatment,

it is a procedure intended to calm inflammation in damaged skin and help the skin barrier recover.

That is the key point to keep in mind :)

Depending on each person’s skin condition,

whether HYLACELL treatment is needed may differ,

so,

after consultation based on an accurate diagnosis by a dermatologist in Yeongdeungpo,

we recommend proceeding with treatment.
