Personalized Treatment by a Dermatology Specialist, from Consultation to Procedure

Source: Merit Dermatology Clinic

If you want to regain the skin you had before skin aging, or if you are concerned about severe acne or scars,

or if you are worried about your face shape, you may have many different concerns.

What are your skin concerns?

At times like this, it is important to receive personalized treatment from a dermatology specialist, from consultation to procedure. Because skin concerns and skin conditions differ from person to person, regardless of age or gender,

the process of understanding and choosing the appropriate treatment method can be important. Acne that keeps recurring requires treatment that matches the cause

Acne is a skin condition caused by a combination of multiple factors such as excessive sebum secretion, clogged pores, and bacterial overgrowth.

The earliest stage of acne is called a comedone, which means sebum and dead skin cells are blocking the pores and appears as blackheads or whiteheads. It is characterized by often having no noticeable inflammation.

The papule stage is an inflammatory stage that develops from comedones. It appears as red, firm bumps, and if squeezed by hand, the inflammation may worsen or pus may accumulate and progress to the pustule stage. A pustule refers to inflammatory acne with visible pus, and when the inflammation spreads into the deeper layers of the skin and the pain becomes more severe, it is called a nodule/cyst.

Leaving acne that has progressed to the pustule or nodule stage untreated, or managing it incorrectly, can leave acne scars and lead to repeated acne flare-ups. Therefore, it can be important to identify the cause and symptoms and choose an appropriate treatment method.

Acne treatment should be used according to skin concerns

🔹Gold PTT

Gold PTT is a treatment method in which gold micro-particles that respond only to light of a specific wavelength are accumulated in the sebaceous glands, and then light is applied so that the gold selectively generates heat and destroys the sebaceous glands and acne-causing bacteria.

🔹Apple Laser

Apple Laser uses a 1450nm wavelength that is well absorbed by water and oil to directly deliver thermal energy to the skin, helping control sebum and increase the production of collagen and elastin. Along with acne treatment, it can also help improve wrinkles and elasticity.

🔹Scaling

Scaling is a treatment method that opens pores through peeling ingredients, helping waste inside the follicles be discharged more easily, dissolving comedones inside the follicles, relieving inflammation, and helping prevent acne.

🔹Black Peel

Black Peel is a treatment method based on naturally fermented black vinegar that removes dead skin cells while nourishing the skin, helping prevent acne recurrence and remove waste.

🔹Aqua Peel

Aqua Peel is a treatment method that removes Demodex mites and waste inside the follicles, helping clean pores, manage dead skin cells, and supply moisture and nutrients.

Because there are many types of acne treatment and each person's skin condition is different, it is important to create and proceed with an appropriate treatment plan.

If sagging skin and deeper wrinkles are your concern, consider Oligio

Skin aging gradually begins in the mid-20s, and as time passes, elasticity can gradually decrease and wrinkles may become deeper. If the loss of firmness and wrinkle concerns are increasing, Oligio lifting may be worth considering to help activate collagen.

Oligio lifting is a procedure that activates collagen in the dermis using RF high-frequency energy. The heat delivered deep into the skin, down to the dermis, can denature collagen and help make the skin structure firmer.

There may be people who hesitate because they are worried that the procedure will cause bruising and swelling and interfere with daily life, even though they feel that skin care is needed. Oligio lifting minimizes pain through cooling and vibration modes, so returning to daily life is relatively quick. Since it is a procedure whose principle involves collagen gradually being produced after treatment, you can expect more satisfactory results in terms of how long the effects last.

Double chin concerns

Is Oligio lifting suitable?

Oligio lifting can be helpful for those who want improvement and lifting for a double chin. It can also be considered by those who want overall facial firmness, or if they find procedures that require recovery time burdensome.

Oligio lifting has three shot modes, and among them, Single Mode uses optimized energy delivery for each area, so individualized treatment can be expected. Skin booster Juvelook / Juvelook Volume: Use according to your skin concerns

Juvelook

Juvelook is a self-tissue regeneration collagen booster that combines high-molecular-weight PLA and hyaluronic acid. By promoting your own collagen regeneration and activating the skin's regenerative ability, it can help improve the skin to be firmer and healthier.

Juvelook Volume

Juvelook Volume is a procedure that injects into the space between the lower dermis and fatty tissue to add volume and regenerate collagen in wrinkled areas. Because it is biodegradable and bioabsorbable, it tends to break down over a certain period and relatively little residue remains in the body.

Recommended candidates for Juvelook

Those who are concerned about a lack of volume in the face

Those who need overall skin texture improvement

Those who are worried about increasingly fine wrinkles

Those who feel burdened by adding volume with fillers

Those who are concerned about pores/scars/indented marks, etc.

Juvelook may help with the concerns above, but since each person's skin condition and concern areas are different, understanding your own skin condition and choosing the appropriate procedure may lead to better satisfaction after treatment.

Although it may vary depending on the individual, Juvelook treatment is typically performed in about one hour after applying anesthetic ointment, and it is good to remember that the effects appear gradually starting about six weeks later!

If your tired skin needs healing, Rejuran / Rejuran HB+

Rejuran is a procedure that uses PN derived from salmon DNA to activate fibroblasts in the skin, inducing regeneration of the epidermis and dermis, strengthening the skin barrier, and balancing oil and moisture to make the skin healthier and firmer.

Rejuran HB+ is made up of the existing Rejuran Healer, hyaluronic acid, and lidocaine, a local anesthetic ingredient, so it can relatively reduce pain while regenerating skin cells from within and helping create a radiant, dewy skin effect.

Rejuran can help with fine wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, cheeks with reduced elasticity, and dry skin, and it can be used not only for anti-aging but also for skin recovery and calming care. Because Rejuran can be performed in various lines, it is relatively suitable for customized treatment.

There may be differences depending on the individual's skin type, but repeating the procedure at intervals of about 2 to 4 weeks may be important. Since gradual skin changes may appear about 2 weeks after the procedure, it can be important to plan the number of sessions and intervals through consultation based on the changes in your skin.

If you want to part ways with melasma/pigmentation disorders

When melasma and pigmentation disorders appear on the face, they can make the overall skin tone look dull or dirty.

You may think melasma or pigmentation disorders will disappear naturally, but once pigmentation disorders appear, they tend not to go away easily. If left untreated, the area may spread further or the pigmentation may become darker, so treatment by a dermatology specialist can be important.

A-TONE	A treatment that selectively penetrates light of a specific wavelength deep into the skin and has a cooling effect, lowering damage to the skin surface and pain while treating pigmentation, melasma, and vascular conditions
Dual Toning	A treatment that combines laser toning and A-toning; by using low energy, it reduces thermal damage and does not stimulate pigment cells, resulting in less pigmentation while inducing dermal regeneration to treat melasma/pigmentation disorders
