Treatment Approach and Features
at Our Clinic

Dullness

Customized Skin Rejuvenation Treatment

The optimal treatment varies for each patient depending on factors such as skin type, age, and lifestyle. We propose treatment plans tailored to each situation and provide advice to prevent future signs of aging and maintain beautiful skin.

Skin Regeneration Therapy

This cutting-edge cellular regeneration therapy activates cells within the body to promote regeneration. It stimulates the repair of damaged cells, activation of aging cells, regeneration and neovascularization of blood vessels, and anti-inflammatory effects, offering various “anti-aging” effects for both beauty and health.

Symptoms that May Improve

Dullness
Fine lines

  • Skin Roughness

    Skin is susceptible to changes due to various external factors such as physical condition, lifestyle habits, and stress. If you experience poor makeup application or an overall dull complexion, your skin may be rough.

    Skin roughness such as itching, redness, and dryness is caused by various factors such as skin turnover disorder, aging, lack of sleep, malnutrition, and improper skin care. In addition, skin problems such as friction, moisture, and dryness form wearing masks have increased concerns about skin roughness.

    Symptoms such as itching, redness, and swelling are usually treated with topical or oral medications. However, Once these symptoms have subsided, you may be able to receive further treatment to improve your skin’s appearance and quality to prevent skin roughness.

  • Freckles, Age Spots, Dullness

    Pigmentation problems such as freckles, age spots, and melasma can be effectively treated with lasers, RF waves, IPL therapy, etc. However, it is recommended to undergo treatment under the supervision of experienced physicians,because it can be difficult to distinguish melasma caused by hormonal imbalances from normal freckles, and treating melasma with lasers effective for freckles may worsen the condition.

    Skin dullness, which makes women look older, requires different approaches depending on age, skin condition, and patient’s lifestyle. We offer the most suitable treatment tailored to your needs, ranging from simple peeling that can be done easily to comprehensive treatments that can renew your skin.

  • Fine Lines

    Fine lines that appear around the eyes and mouth are caused by factors such as dry skin and decreased skin elasticity due to aging. It is important to address them promptly as they can deepen into wrinkles if left untreated. Treatments such as retinol peels and milk peels that promote skin cell turnover and increase collagen and elastin production, as well as high-moisturizing skincare, and UV protection, are effective in preventing and improving fine lines.

  • Skin Firmness

    Skin firmness is a symbol of youthfulness. However, skin elasticity decreases due to factors such as skin dryness, decreased turnover of skin cells due to aging, UV exposure, poor circulation, and malnutrition. To restore skin firmness, it is important not only to continue appropriate skincare but also to aim for a fundamental solution to the underlying causes through cosmetic medical treatments. Regular treatments can also help prevent future aging.

  • Acne, Acne Scars

    Acne ranges from mild symptoms such as whiteheads and blackheads to inflammatory and suppurative conditions such as red and yellow pimples. It becomes difficult to treat acne with self-care once it progresses to red or yellow pimples. Additionally, acne scars are more challenging to treat and take longer than acne itself, so it is important to address how to treat acne without leaving scars.

    Our clinic offers advanced treatments to prevent acne scars, prevent acne recurrence, and achieve clearer skin.

  • Skin Whitening

    Patients who come with concerns about pigmentation, which is the most common, are generally referring to senile lentigo (actinic lentigo), which is caused by UV exposure. Additionally, as skin turnover function decreases with age, old keratin containing melanin pigment tends to accumulate, leading to a darker skin tone.

    For those who have experienced troubles caused by accumulated UV damage or accidental sunburn resulting in darker skin tones, or even those concerned about naturally darker skin, our treatments can help improve skin tone and texture.

    With our clinic’s UV protection measures and whitening treatments, every woman can achieve the coveted clarity and radiance of fair, glowing skin.

Recommended Treatment Method

Peeling

Peeling gently addresses the skin by applying agents to remove old keratin and promote collagen and elastin production, thereby improving the skin’s base. Regular sessions can also lead to improvements in skin texture.

There is minimal downtime with this short-duration procedure. It’s an ideal treatment method for those who want to maintain beautiful skin even during busy times or for those new to cosmetic dermatology.

Retinol Peel

Retinol Peel

This is a peeling treatment that uses retinol derivatives, famous for their anti-aging properties. It can help normalize skin turnover function, suppress excessive sebum secretion, and promote collagen production. Additionally, it promotes the synthesis of hyaluronic acid on the skin surface, leaving the skin smooth and glossy with less visible pores after peeling. The retinol derivatives used are nanoencapsulated, making them less likely to cause troubles even for those with sensitive skin.
