Sungdong-gu Dermatology: Spring’s Seasonal Characteristics and Recommended Treatments [Lituo, Lalafill, Laser Toning, and More]

Springtime Recommended Treatments

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

Even though the warm spring sunshine feels welcome, when we face the sharp winds that blow in the morning and evening, our skin goes through sudden confusion. During seasonal transitions, when the environment changes so drastically, even normally healthy skin can easily become sensitive or experience a weakened barrier. At times like this, rather than blindly layering on highly nourishing cosmetics, it is most important to closely analyze your current skin condition and find the right response accordingly.

Spring: How Should You Care for Your Skin?

There are four major factors that threaten skin in spring. First, the temperature difference between day and night and the dry air steal moisture and weaken the skin barrier, leaving many people concerned about rough skin texture. In this case, skin boosters or ultrasound-based care that replenish lacking moisture and nutrients can help. In addition, yellow dust and fine dust penetrate into the pores and directly cause breakouts or allergies, so cleansing care such as Aqua Peel or Lalafill should be done alongside them.

The increasingly strong UV index also requires close attention. As temperatures and humidity rise, sebum production increases rapidly, creating an environment where acne can easily flare up! Because this is a season with such complex issues, it is necessary to regulate the oil-water balance using Gold PTT or sebaceous gland destruction procedures, along with preventing pigmentation through laser toning. A systematic approach tailored to each symptom is the key to maintaining healthy skin!

Temperature Differences & Dry Environment

Among skin boosters for resolving dryness during seasonal transitions, Elravie Lituo directly delivers ECM components, which are key substances in the dermis. By replenishing ingredients that make up the skin’s internal tissue, including hyaluronic acid, it helps improve elasticity and moisture at the same time! By rebuilding the damaged skin environment from within, it becomes an effective option for easing various discomforts caused by dryness.

Meanwhile, Rejuran Healer uses PN, a regenerative ingredient extracted from salmon, to enhance the skin’s self-recovery ability. If Rejuran Healer activates the regeneration process to guide the skin toward a healthier state, Lituo is more of a concept that physically replenishes the substances that make up the dermis! Both methods are beneficial for strengthening the barrier, but depending on your condition, it is advisable to decide whether to directly replenish ingredients or to induce regeneration :)

• Lituo: Direct replenishment of dermal components

• Immediate moisture / elasticity

• Rejuran Healer: Strengthens the skin’s own recovery ability

• Damaged skin repair / regeneration

Yellow Dust and Fine Dust

Meanwhile, when yellow dust and fine dust are rampant, the process of clearing out waste inside the pores is essential. Aqua Peel is a treatment method that uses strong water pressure and a solution to suction up sebum and dead skin cells while simultaneously supplying moisture. It causes almost no pain, and you can feel your skin becoming clearer right after the treatment, making it suitable for those who want to maintain clean pores without disrupting daily life!

Lalafill is a low-irritation peeling treatment that does not forcibly strip away dead skin, but slowly dissolves proteins through LHA ingredients. Since active ingredients penetrate without damaging the skin surface and help smooth the texture, it is a good option even for people with sensitive skin! It can cleanse the inside of pores while also offering a skin barrier protection effect, making it a very useful treatment for skin that becomes sensitive in spring.

<Pore Care with Low-Irritation Peeling>

• Aqua Peel: Sebum removal / blackhead removal / pore cleansing

• Lalafill: Improves skin texture / strengthens the barrier / radiance for sensitive skin

Stronger UV Rays

Before summer arrives and UV rays become stronger, it is efficient to start laser toning in spring. This is because summer’s strong rays and high humidity differ in ways that increase the possibility of pigmentation during the recovery process after laser treatment. Therefore, now, when UV exposure is relatively lower, clearing pigmentation lesions such as melasma and blemishes in advance is a strategic choice for maintaining a clear skin tone.

For effective pigmentation improvement, combination toning using two or more lasers is recommended rather than relying on just one device. Since pigmentation such as melasma and blemishes varies in depth, the device must be selected according to the target! To brighten the overall skin tone, consistent treatment of at least 5 to 10 sessions is needed, so it would be best to make a plan in advance and begin treatment before summer arrives, right?

<Combination Laser Toning>

• Targets all pigmentation lesions

• Brightens and improves overall skin tone

• Combination of 2 or more lasers required / at least 5 to 10 sessions recommended

Increased Sebum Production

If oily sebum from rising temperatures is a concern, personalized regulation treatment based on your condition is needed. Gold PTT works by penetrating specially designed gold nanoparticles into the pores and then applying laser energy to selectively destroy only the sebaceous glands. It is effective for acne spread across the entire face or for repeated breakouts, and it has the advantage of being comfortable even for people sensitive to pain!

On the other hand, if inflammation is severely concentrated in a specific area, sebaceous gland destruction using Potenza may be more suitable. Since energy is delivered directly through micro-insulated needles, it may feel somewhat more painful than Gold PTT, but it is a very advantageous method when you are looking for a strong treatment effect in a localized area :) Because the optimal method can differ depending on each person’s acne pattern and sensitivity to pain, please consult a specialist to establish the necessary plan :)
