The cold weather and heavy fine dust these days make taking care of your skin quite difficult, don’t they?

Even though I am taking better care of my skin than usual, I still experience breakouts and have many areas that concern me.

At times like this, many people try to solve their skin concerns at a dermatology clinic. However, to be honest, the cost can be quite considerable.

I imagine those of you looking into Hongdae lifting treatments have similar thoughts.

I was also the first to introduce the Cellf lifting device in Mapo-gu, and after performing aesthetic skin treatments for nine years, I offer Ultherapy, Thermage, and the skin booster Rejuran. However, I cannot say that my prices are particularly low.

I understand the desire to maintain beautiful skin, and having met many people with skin concerns over the past nine years, I can fully relate to how you feel.

So today, I would like to explain how you can gradually improve your own skin condition to those who are researching Hongdae lifting treatments and preparing to spend a significant amount of money at a dermatology clinic.

Hello, I am Jo Won-jin, director of Chai Clinic.

“Is it true that receiving Cellf, Ulthermage, or other lifting treatments at a dermatology clinic can noticeably improve your skin condition?”

“Apparently, skin boosters are very effective at stimulating collagen production. Even if they are somewhat expensive, would it be better to receive at least three treatments?”

Those statements are correct. Many people who have searched for Hongdae lifting treatments seem to already know a fair amount about aesthetic skin care.

I have consistently met people with these concerns for the past nine years, and I am confident that I have always given them the best answers I could.

However, before asking the questions above—and before visiting a dermatology clinic—I recommend first looking back to see whether you have any bad habits that may be damaging your skin.

To be honest, wouldn’t it be much better if you could gradually improve your skin condition without spending any money before paying a high cost at a dermatology clinic? Those of you researching Hongdae lifting treatments, please focus on what I have to say first.

As someone who has performed aesthetic skin treatments for nine years, I would like to discuss the TOP 5 bad habits that damage your skin.

The first is your smartphone.

You may be wondering why I am suddenly talking about smartphones in an article about skin. Smartphones have long since become indispensable, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that we spend more time holding our phones than not holding them.

This is where the problem arises. Our hands carry a tremendous number of bacteria. In fact, they can be considered one of the parts of the body with the most bacteria. So what happens when you touch your smartphone with those hands and then hold the phone against your face while talking?

Without realizing it, bacteria from your smartphone can be transferred to your face. Whether you hold it against your face while talking or wedge it between your shoulder and face, bacteria can be transferred directly to your skin and worsen its condition.

Whenever possible, developing the habit of using earphones is better for your skin, wouldn’t you say?

The second is casually picking off scabs on your face.

When you touch your face, you may notice an area where something has formed a scab, making the surface uneven. Many people peel these scabs off because they find them bothersome. Men, in particular, do this quite often.

This is one of the very bad habits for your skin. If you scratch off a scab, the skin tissue regenerating underneath can come off with it. This increases the likelihood of scarring and can be considered skin damage.

When a scab forms, it is better for your skin’s health to leave it alone as much as possible until it naturally falls off.

The third is washing your face with hot water.

Showering or washing your face with water that is too hot can actually dry out your skin and dilate your blood vessels. It is best to keep your skin temperature stable. When washing your face, lukewarm water is preferable.

The fourth is applying too much pressure when washing your face.

This particularly applies to many men. Scrubbing with too much force when washing your face can expose your skin to bacteria on your hands and excessive irritation, which may worsen its condition.

You may do this because rubbing hard makes your face feel as though it has been cleaned more thoroughly. However, it can actually worsen your skin condition, so use moderate pressure both when washing your face and when patting it dry with a towel.

The fifth and final one is sunscreen.

In fact, I would say that if you do not apply sunscreen, there is little point in looking into dermatology treatments. Many people already know this, but it is also true that following this advice can be more difficult than expected.

I recommend applying sunscreen frequently, whenever you think of it. If you do not apply it simply because you are at home or because the sunlight is not strong, your skin condition is likely to worsen again even if you receive extensive care at a dermatology clinic.

Whether you are indoors or outdoors, be sure to apply sunscreen regularly. Never forget it.

Today, we looked at the TOP 5 habits that damage your skin.

If you gradually improve these bad habits, you may be able to maintain smooth, healthy-looking skin without spending money at a dermatology clinic.

But what if your skin condition does not improve even after following all five points I mentioned? What if you are still troubled by your skin concerns?

If so, feel free to visit us for a consultation.

For aesthetic skin care, it is important to receive treatments suited to your skin condition and limited to what is truly necessary, which is why the consultation process is essential.

If you are still not satisfied after following everything I mentioned, it will not be too late to visit a dermatology clinic then.

I will conclude here, hoping that this provides the information those of you researching Hongdae lifting treatments are looking for.

This has been Chai Clinic, always working for the health of your skin.

Thank you.
