Hongdae Cerf: If You're Worried About Skin Condition Declining During the Rainy Season

"Whenever the rainy season comes, my skin seems to look saggy."

"Because the humidity is high, my skin feels sticky and seems to have lost firmness."

"If I turn on the air conditioner, my skin gets dry, and if I turn it off, it feels sticky, so my skin is confused."

In mid-July, the rainy season makes skin care difficult due to the continuous rain and high humidity. The large difference between indoor and outdoor humidity, along with sudden environmental changes caused by air conditioning, can easily throw off the skin’s balance.

If you searched for Hongdae Cerf, you were probably looking for a way to solve these rainy-season skin concerns, but at the same time felt hesitant about visiting a dermatology clinic because of the high humidity. For those people, today I’d like to introduce Cerf, a lifting treatment that can be received comfortably even with humidity changes during the rainy season.

Hello, I’m Dr. Jo Won-jin, director of Chai Clinic.

After performing lifting procedures in Hongdae for 9 years, I’ve seen many people visit us every rainy season because of concerns caused by humidity. And perhaps because each year feels even more humid, more and more people are worrying about their skin condition.

For those people, today I’d like to introduce Cerf, a lifting treatment that is easy to receive without 부담.

Cerf is the latest radiofrequency lifting device, launched in May 2024. It is a newly introduced device following the merger of Lutronic and Cynosure, and its biggest feature is that it was designed to be comfortable even when the skin is sensitive, such as during the rainy season.

It can help address both skin concerns caused by humidity changes during the rainy season and the burden of getting a skin treatment on rainy days, so I strongly recommend it to anyone looking into Hongdae Cerf.

Let’s first look at why skin can appear saggy during the rainy season.

In a high-humidity environment, the skin’s moisture balance is easily disrupted. As the skin repeatedly experiences the outdoor humidity and the dryness caused by indoor air conditioning, it is placed under continuous stress. These environmental changes can also affect skin elasticity.

The reason Cerf is especially good during the rainy season is that it allows multi-layer care. Using two wavelengths, 6.78MHz and 2MHz, it can be performed in three modes: Shallow, Middle, and Deep, allowing selective care of the skin layers affected by humidity changes.

In particular, the differentiated cooling system is a major advantage during the rainy season. Each time a shot is delivered into the skin tissue, a cooling pulse is applied one by one, providing a refreshing sensation. Even in the sticky weather of the rainy season, you can feel cool and comfortable throughout the procedure.

In addition, the energy level can be adjusted in 10 steps, allowing delicate treatment tailored to skin that has become sensitive due to humidity changes. Furthermore, with four different tips (EFFECTOR 05, 10, 40, 60), treatment can be customized for various areas of the face, making it possible to care for overall sagging skin during the rainy season according to its condition.

Advantages of Cerf During the Rainy Season

Let me explain the rainy-season advantages of Hongdae Cerf in more detail.

First, it is a quick procedure that is easy to receive even on rainy days.

During the rainy season, the rain and humid weather itself make procedures feel burdensome, and lifting treatments that include anesthesia take close to 2 hours, which is even more of a burden. But Cerf does not require an anesthesia process, so the procedure is finished in 30 to 40 minutes based on 600 shots.

It can truly be called a "lunchtime lifting" that you can receive even during a break in the rain. Compared with Thermage lifting, the total procedure time is reduced by more than 50%, greatly easing the burden of going out during the rainy season.

Second, even skin that is sensitive to humidity changes can be managed safely.

Skin that has become sensitive due to humidity changes during the rainy season may react more strongly to irritation. Cerf’s cooling system causes so little pain that anesthesia is not necessary, so it does not place a burden on sensitive skin.

The reason people who receive the procedure often say, "It feels warm inside the skin but cool at the same time," is precisely because of this differentiated cooling system.

Third, it has excellent energy delivery efficiency.

Cerf’s EFFECTOR 60 tip has a surface area 1.5 times larger than Thermage’s Total Tip. That means the satisfaction from 600 shots with Cerf is equivalent to 840 shots of Thermage, while still offering a cool treatment process that makes it comfortable even during the rainy season.

For those looking into Hongdae Cerf, this really is welcome news, isn’t it?

What Matters More Than Cerf

Of course, no matter how good Cerf is, there are limits if basic rainy-season skin care habits are not in place. Adequate hydration, consistent sunscreen use, and indoor humidity management must all be maintained.

The biggest difference between Cerf and existing lifting treatments is accessibility. Even those who hesitated to care for their skin because of rainy-season rain can receive it comfortably in a short amount of time. Of course, we should also mention that the procedure should be decided only after a detailed consultation based on each person’s skin condition, right?

Just as Chai Clinic believes that "no two skins in the world are the same," rainy-season skin concerns also differ from person to person. It is most important to accurately understand how humidity changes affect each person’s skin and receive customized treatment that matches it.

I hope this information is helpful for those looking into Hongdae Cerf, and I’ll wrap up here.

This has been Chai Clinic, customizing your beauty. Thank you.
