On Tuesday, June 1, Dr. Im Yi-seok of Imi-seok Theme Dermatology appeared on SBS <Health Tip, Great!> under the theme, “Prevent Skin Aging!”
Summer is coming soon, and in summer, our skin has no choice but to be exposed to strong ultraviolet rays.
In addition, yellow dust and fine dust that keep coming back threaten skin health.
With long-term mask wearing due to COVID-19, “skin care” is more important than ever.

When skin is exposed to a lot of ultraviolet rays, the risk of burns, pigmentation, and wrinkle formation increases.

Have you heard of photoaging?
It is the phenomenon in which wrinkles form on the skin because it is frequently exposed to large amounts of ultraviolet rays.

The first symptom of photoaging is pigmentation such as melasma and age spots caused by ultraviolet rays.
The second symptom may be redness.
Lastly, the biggest problem with photoaging is that it causes a loss of elasticity.

The reason our skin loses elasticity is ultraviolet rays.
Ultraviolet rays destroy the body’s proteins and elastic fibers. As these elastic fibers are destroyed, skin aging progresses.



The key keyword emphasized for skin health is “collagen.”
Collagen has been widely covered in reviews of other recent broadcasts as well!
Collagen is a type of protein and a substance used as a component in many parts of the body, including the skin, bones, and cartilage.


Collagen forms a lattice structure in the dermis, helping keep our skin firm and elastic.
1 mm of collagen can easily withstand 40 kg of force.
That is why a loss of collagen can lead to wrinkles and reduced elasticity in our skin.
In this way, collagen is a key substance that helps keep our skin firm, supports it, and is essential for skin health.
Imi-seok Theme Dermatology has more than 20 types of collagen-contraction and regenerative lifting lasers.
