Sensitive Skin, or Delicate Skin: Dongdaemun-gu Dermatology Low-Irritation Care Methods Revealed!

Recommended Care for Sensitive Skin

Hello, this is Raon Dermatology in Seongdong-gu :)

When the seasons change or on days when fine dust levels remain high, many people experience their skin stinging noticeably and turning red. If skincare products that usually suit you suddenly feel irritating, or if your skin is slow to calm down even after cleansing, this should be taken as a warning sign that the skin barrier has weakened. When the skin reacts sensitively to even minor external stimuli, what matters most is not ordinary care, but a process that helps the skin protect and recover itself~! Let’s look at the characteristics of sensitive skin that are easy to overlook in daily life and the proper ways to care for it healthily.

Recommended Care for Sensitive Skin

What if your skin is sensitive?

Skin that is vulnerable to irritation has a significantly weakened barrier compared with normal skin, making it harder to block harmful external substances and bacteria from entering. As a result, issues such as small acne bumps or allergic rashes occur frequently and can cause significant discomfort in daily life! In particular, if the epidermis is so thin that tiny blood vessels are visible, special care is needed because aging may progress faster and fine lines can form more easily.

Flushing, where the face quickly turns red depending on temperature changes or emotional shifts, is also a common symptom of sensitive skin! If dryness and tightness persist from within even after applying enough moisturizer right after cleansing, this is evidence that there is a lack of lipid components that help prevent moisture from evaporating. Leaving this condition untreated can not only make the skin texture rough and dull, but may also lead to chronic inflammatory reactions, so a systematic response is necessary :)

Caution when choosing dermatology procedures!

That said, undergoing dermatology procedures without careful consideration can be risky! If your skin is sensitive, please make sure to review the precautions below in advance. First, if the skin is highly sensitive and you undergo a procedure that aggressively removes the epidermis or delivers strong thermal energy, there is a risk that the skin condition may worsen. Therefore, rather than methods that cause irritation, you should first consider care that focuses on regenerating damaged tissue and restoring its natural function :) Approaches that directly deliver nourishing ingredients to enhance the skin’s self-recovery, such as Rejuran or Juvelook, would be suitable, right~?

For those with thin and weakened skin, non-invasive procedures that do not use needles can be a good option because they reduce physical burden. Methods such as Mirajet or Lhalafill effectively deliver active ingredients without leaving unnecessary wounds on the skin surface, leading to stable improvement! In addition, if the energy intensity is carefully adjusted during the procedure and soothing care is combined afterward, it is possible to prevent damage to sensitive areas while still achieving satisfying results :)

<Things to keep in mind when choosing dermatology procedures>

• Regeneration-focused procedures / non-invasive procedures recommended

• Adjust energy intensity / combine with soothing care

Low-Irritation Care 01. Lhalafill

Let’s take a look at Lhalafill, a fourth-generation peeling treatment that goes beyond conventional peeling methods that forcibly strip away dead skin and instead replenishes moisture and nutrients from within. Lhalafill combines LHA with alkaline ingredients to reduce irritation while gently refining sebum and dead skin inside the pores! By gradually dissolving proteins, it protects the skin barrier while also supporting the growth of new cells, so even those who have hesitated to try peeling because of their sensitive reactions can approach it comfortably.

Its main ingredient, P-Sol, helps active ingredients penetrate and induces skin regeneration, while lipid ingredients compensate for any loss that may occur during the care process and immediately protect the barrier. The process of applying the first and second formulas step by step with a brush minimizes physical friction and reduces stress on the skin :) After the procedure, a mask pack or modeling pack is used for sufficient soothing, and you can directly see a moist and smooth skin texture without a separate recovery period.

Low-Irritation Care 02. Rejuran HB

Rejuran HB, which is excellent for improving the internal environment of damaged skin, is an upgraded version that adds hyaluronic acid, a moisturizing factor, to the regenerative ingredients of the existing Rejuran Healer. While PN ingredients that enhance the skin’s self-healing ability promote cell regeneration, hyaluronic acid provides strong hydration, helping address dryness and reduced elasticity at the same time! The principle is to make nutrient delivery smoother for skin with a weakened barrier that is easily affected by the external environment, helping it return to healthy tissue.

One advantage of Rejuran HB is that it is relatively less burdensome in terms of pain, which is one of the reasons many people hesitate to undergo procedures. This is because it contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, which clearly reduces discomfort during injection! Even those who are sensitive to anesthetic cream or who had a strong fear of pain can receive care with greater peace of mind, and through the synergy of regeneration and hydration, they can experience firmer, more resilient skin changes.

<Key points of Rejuran HB>

• Simultaneous improvement of skin regeneration / hydration

• Barrier recovery with PN ingredients

• Moisture retention with hyaluronic acid

Low-Irritation Care 03. Intense Ultra

The last treatment to introduce, Intense Ultra, is a care device that supports skin soothing and regeneration by alternating three frequencies. The frequencies of 1MHz, 3MHz, and 10MHz each penetrate different depths of the skin, providing three-dimensional care from the epidermis down to the lower dermis! In particular, the 10MHz frequency acts on the upper dermis to firmly support a weakened barrier, while 3MHz and 1MHz promote collagen synthesis or aid lymphatic circulation to quickly relieve swelling and bruising.

Intense Ultra is also widely known by the nickname “water droplet lifting” because it rearranges moisture-attracting ingredients to provide an immediate hydrating effect. It is also very effective at calming chronic inflammatory reactions such as acne or redness by appropriately regulating the levels of protein-degrading enzymes! Since it is a gentle ultrasound treatment with almost no irritation, it continues to be loved by those who want to return to daily life quickly after a procedure or who want to maintain healthy sensitive skin.

<Advantages of Intense Ultra>

• Skin barrier recovery

• Increased moisture content / inflammation suppression

• Reduction of swelling / bruising
