Personalized Treatment by Dermatology Specialists, from Consultation to Procedures

Due to changes in the skin, there are times when you miss how your skin used to be,

there are also cases where concerns continue because of acne and scars,

and moments when you become aware of your facial contour.

In this way, skin-related concerns vary from person to person and from one time to another. So what is the part that concerns you the most right now?

Skin care is something you should choose only after fully understanding it, from the initial consultation stage to the care process.

Because skin concerns can appear differently regardless of age or gender, it may be necessary to examine methods that match your current condition and then decide.

Why recurring acne needs care that considers the cause

Acne is a skin change that appears through a combination of multiple factors, including increased sebum secretion, clogged pores, and bacterial growth.

In the earliest stage, sebum and dead skin cells accumulate inside pores and often appear as blackheads or whiteheads. This stage is called the comedone stage, and it is characterized by almost no visible inflammatory reaction on the surface.

As comedones progress, they may develop into the papule stage, where red, firm bumps appear. If squeezed forcefully at this time, inflammation can worsen or pus may build up, progressing into pustules. A pustule means inflammatory acne with pus, and if inflammation extends into deeper layers of the skin, it may be classified as a nodule or cyst.

If acne that has progressed to the pustule or nodule stage is left untreated, or if inappropriate care continues, it may remain as scars or recur repeatedly. Therefore, it may be important to choose a treatment method suited to the situation by considering the stage of acne progression and its cause.

▫️Gold PTT

Gold PTT is an acne treatment that uses gold microparticles that respond to light of a specific wavelength, allowing it to act selectively on the sebaceous gland area.

When light energy is applied, the gold particles generate a thermal reaction, addressing both the sebum-producing environment and acne-causing bacteria.

▫️Apple Laser

Apple Laser is a laser treatment that uses a 1450nm wavelength, which responds to moisture and oil, to deliver thermal energy deep into the skin.

It helps regulate sebum secretion and also supports collagen and elastin production. It may also be considered when acne care is needed together with concerns about wrinkles or changes in elasticity.

▫️ Scaling

Scaling is a treatment that uses peeling ingredients to tidy the area around pores and create an environment in which waste matter accumulated inside hair follicles can be expelled more easily. It helps clear comedones left inside pores and is used for care aimed at preventing inflammatory acne.

▫️ Black Peel

Black Peel is a treatment based on naturally fermented ingredients and focuses on dead skin cell care and skin condition management. By organizing old dead skin cells and impurities on the skin surface, it may help manage the environment in which acne repeatedly appears.

▫️ Aqua Peel

Aqua Peel is a treatment method that considers moisture and nutrition supply while removing impurities and dead skin cells remaining inside pores. It is used when pore care and skin condition adjustment are needed together.

When reduced elasticity and wrinkles are a concern, Oligio lifting

Skin aging progresses little by little from a relatively early stage, and as time passes, skin elasticity may decrease and wrinkles may become more noticeable. Along with this, concerns about skin condition naturally increase. If you feel that your skin is not as firm as before, or if changes in your impression due to wrinkles are bothering you, you may consider Oligio lifting, which helps support collagen production. It is one of the procedures referenced when you want to manage skin elasticity and improve wrinkles at the same time.

Oligio lifting is a procedure that uses RF radiofrequency energy to deliver heat to the dermis layer within the skin and help collagen production. The thermal energy that reaches the dermis may change the collagen structure and help manage the skin into a firmer condition.

There are also people who feel the need for skin care but worry that bruising or swelling may interfere with daily life.

Oligio lifting is performed with cooling and vibration functions applied together, a method designed to reduce the burden during the procedure. In addition, because collagen production continues gradually after the procedure, satisfaction may also be considered in terms of duration.

If sagging elasticity and changes in the jawline are both concerns?

Oligio lifting

Oligio lifting is a lifting procedure used when you feel a double chin has sagged downward or facial lines need refinement. It is often one option not only for those concerned about contour changes but also for those who want to consider overall facial elasticity management.

It is also relatively less burdensome for daily schedules, so it is one of the lifting methods considered when procedures involving strong stimulation feel difficult to handle.

Oligio lifting is performed based on three shot modes, and among them, Single Mode allows energy adjustment suited to the characteristics of the area, enabling a more detailed approach depending on the treatment site.

The three Oligio shot modes have the following effects.

Oligio three shot modes

Auto Mode	Double Mode	Single Mode
Energy is delivered continuously, helping reduce the burden during treatment and shorten the overall procedure time.	A method that delivers relatively gentle energy twice in succession to lower stimulation burden.	A method that adjusts energy according to the characteristics of the area, allowing for a more detailed procedure.

Rejuran? Juvelook? Choosing a skin booster depending on your skin concerns

When the skin looks dull or feels less firm than before, skin booster procedures may be used as a way to manage overall skin condition. Both Rejuran and Juvelook act on the skin environment to aim for improved elasticity and skin texture, but their mechanisms and intended uses differ, so the choice may vary depending on the direction of your skin concerns.

Category	Juvelook · Juvelook Volume	Rejuran · Rejuran HB+
Main ingredient	High-molecular PLA + hyaluronic acid	PN ingredient derived from salmon DNA
Direction of action	Elasticity and volume care through collagen production stimulation	Improvement of the skin regeneration environment and barrier care
Application areas	Overall face, areas where hollowing or wrinkles are a concern	Overall face, when skin texture and moisture balance are concerns
Features	Considers both improved skin elasticity and volume support	Focuses on overall skin condition and radiance care
Selection point	When reduced elasticity and volume changes are both concerns	When tired skin condition and lack of moisture are felt

Juvelook Volume is applied to the lower dermis and is used in areas where wrinkles are a concern or where volume support is needed. Rejuran HB+ combines hyaluronic acid and lidocaine, and focuses on reducing the burden during the procedure.

Rejuran and Juvelook are both skin booster procedures used with skin condition in mind, but the direction they emphasize differs. It may be important to choose the method that suits you best depending on whether organizing skin texture and managing condition are the priority, or whether elasticity and volume changes are more concerning.

💜 Juvelook can be used for the various skin concerns mentioned above, but the areas where skin condition or concerns appear may differ from person to person. Therefore, after fully considering your current skin condition, choosing the procedure that suits you may help increase satisfaction after the procedure.

In addition, although there may be individual differences, Juvelook procedures are often performed in about one hour after topical anesthesia, and some people may begin to feel gradual changes around six weeks after the procedure. It may be helpful to keep this in mind as well.

💛 Rejuran is used when fine wrinkles around the eyes or mouth, reduced elasticity in the cheeks, or dryness are felt. It is also considered for the purpose of organizing skin condition, and because it is composed of several lines, the treatment area can be adjusted depending on the skin concern.

Although there may be differences depending on each person's skin type, repeat treatments are usually performed at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks. Some people begin to feel gradual skin changes around two weeks after the procedure, so based on this course, it may be helpful to plan the number of sessions and treatment interval through consultation.

Shringk lifting, customized by skin depth and area

Shurink is a procedure that helps manage elasticity by delivering high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy to a specific depth within the skin. Because skin thickness and elasticity differ from person to person, Shurink is characterized by its ability to use cartridges of various depths and select the depth suited to the area of concern. This makes it possible to take a detailed approach not only to the entire face but also to areas such as the eye area and jawline.

Category	Depth delivered	Application area	Features
Eye Shurink	2.0mm	Around the eyes, around the mouth	Applied to thin and sensitive areas, used for fine wrinkles and localized elasticity care
Multi Shurink	3.0mm · 4.5mm	Cheeks, under the eyes, jawline, facial contour	Used for overall facial elasticity care and also applied for sagging facial lines and contour refinement
V Shurink	6.0mm	Under the chin, deep layers	Delivers energy to deeper layers and is used for managing elasticity and volume balance

Visible melasma/pigmentation concerns, managed with A-TONE and dual toning

When melasma or pigment changes appear on the face, the overall skin tone may look darker or give an unrefined impression. This can also make makeup sit unevenly or make the skin condition feel inconsistent.

It is easy to think that pigment changes will naturally fade over time, but once pigmentation has settled in, it is not easily removed. If care is delayed, the area may expand or the pigmentation may become deeper, so it may be important to set a care direction from the early stage.

🩵 A-TONE Laser

A-TONE is a laser procedure that selectively uses light of a specific wavelength to deliver energy deep into the skin.

A cooling function is applied together, reducing surface irritation while being used for managing melasma, pigmentation, and vascular changes.

🩷 Dual Toning

Dual toning is a method that combines laser toning and the A-TONE laser. By using relatively low energy settings, it approaches pigment management while reducing burden on the skin. It is used for managing melasma and pigmentation changes with consideration for not excessively stimulating pigment cells.

Because dermatology specialists can suggest the right direction for my skin

Skin concerns cannot be reduced to just one type, and the methods that can be applied may vary widely depending on each person's skin condition. Also, since the skin is connected not only to outward appearance but also to changes in condition, it is best to set up a care and procedure plan that fully considers the current state.

It is important to establish a direction suited to the current condition based on an accurate diagnosis.
