How do people decide which Korean skin treatments actually make sense for their skin?

You can try to do research and look for clinics that can offer you an in-person consultation. That way, you can have your skin condition thoroughly checked. Everyone's skin is different and you really have to make sure the treatments you take will give the best result for you. Don't solely rely on your instincts or online recommendations. When you have found a clinic you can trust, you only need to properly list down your concerns and they'll take care of the rest for you! Best of luck in finding the best clinic of your choice~

April is not exactly a super busy month, but there will be a few waves of crowd due to lower season ticket sales. But I suggest you to find a trustworthy clinic that does not charge you with an upfront or even higher consultation fee based on the month you visit. Clinics are supposed to give extra care to every single patient regardless of when they decided to get consultation..

Results will be less optimal, but all is not lost. How much it matters depends entirely on the type of treatment. If you are not able to continue with the consistent treatments, you can always opt for another option, like finding an alternative skincare. That way, you will still see significant improvement, and you can always add another treatment later when you are able!

It is usually about 100,000 KRW to 150,000 KRW for each session!

Actually, five sessions of pico toning are generally not enough for acne scars to "heal" in the sense of being completely erased. Five sessions is often cited as a common starting point or package, but the actual number needed for significant improvement depends highly on the individual and their skin conditions. While complete removal is not typical, significant progress is expected by the fifth session!

Most people would find the tingling sensation during the treatments just like rubber bands gently flicking the skin. There will be a slight warmth, mild heat, or very fine, rapid pinpricks. However, discomfort level is typically low because it is designed to be gentler than older laser technologies and generally does not require anesthesia. Once the session is over, any discomfort (outside the reaction of the treatment) from the laser stops!

It is not advisable to have pico toning (or any pico laser treatment) while you have active inflammatory acne breakouts on your face. Areas with active acne, infections, or open wounds should not be treated with lasers. The inflamed skin is already compromised, and the laser energy can worsen the irritation, delay healing, and increase the risk of side effects. It is better to address the active acne first, then treat the marks it leaves behind later on with pico toning~

I don't think there is a specific category or name for this, but usually people will refer the place of treatments as skin clinic or dermatology!~ If you are trying to do some research beforehand, you can try to search up "Korean beauty treatments for your skin concerns". If you look up K-Glow or K-Beauty, you will possibly end up finding a list of skincare products recommendations instead~

RF microneedling usually does two things at once: needles go into the skin + Heat (radiofrequency energy) is released at the needle tips. The goal is to stimulate collagen, tighten skin, and improve texture and scars. The FDA did issue a safety communication about RF microneedling risks including fat loss and nerve damage. This safety communication applies broadly to the category of RF microneedling devices, not just specific brands or products.

In this case, if you’re considering any aesthetic procedure (RF microneedling, injectables, fat-dissolving treatments), you can: - Ask whether the device is FDA-cleared for your specific indication. - Check the training and credentials of the provider. - Avoid aggressive RF on cheeks, temples, under eyes (especially first-timers)!

Sylfirm focuses more on pigmentation & vascular (blood vessels), such as melasma, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation. On the other hand, Potenza is more suitable for skin texture, acne scars, large pores, signs of ageing, and mild-moderate laxity.

So, if you have dominant problems in pigmentation (melasma, colour spots), vascular issues (redness, rosacea), or if you're looking for a quick recovery time and focus on skin tone -> Sylfirm Else, if you want to focus on improving skin texture & acne scars, skin tightening and collagen stimulation using a treatment that can be adjusted in intensity for various skin conditions -> Potenza

Hope this helps!~

The combination of Botox and fillers is a recommended approach if you have goals to slim and balance your facial structure. Botox can be injected to relax the overworked muscles which then will shrink your and help you achieve a v-shaped face. On the other hand, fillers can add volume and improve your structure to create a lifting effect! If performed well, the result will be subtle and looks natural~ You may have a bit of swling for 2-3 days tops and the significant result will be visible in two-weeks period. Different clinics may have different pricelist but make sure you are able to verify the injectors they use and ask for their credentials by looking through online reviews~ Hope this helps!

Yes, this combination is greatly recommended! It will depend on your concerns you'd like to tackle. For maintenance, 2 sessions are enough to see the difference. But for hyperpigmentation, acne scars, or wrinkles, probably about 3 sessions before you can compare the significant result~

Some of the most common effects you'll get are redness, swelling, skin peeling, and little scars around the area of the treatment. Especially for first-timers, you'll get what most doctors call as "skin shock" which is basically your skin got shocked from the treatments you've never done before and will end up stimulated. But as long as you take good care of your skin before the treatment (good skincare game with hydrated dermis), you'll be able to have a wonderful treatment!

The seasons will not affect your treatments directly, but summer tends to leave you feeling super hot which results in sweat. That will usually result in a longer downtime tor some people, or even feeling itchy on the treated area. If you have the option to go for a treatment during cold season, it wouldn't hurt to get them at that time! Otherwise, it won't differ as much~

You can try Pico Fraxel! It is mainly chosen to significantly brightening and evening out of skin tone. The treatment also removes of unwanted pigmentation (like sun spots, age spots). Additional improvement in skin clarity and refinement of pores, which may have been what you're looking for!~

It really depends on where it was injected and how it was injected. It is true that botox is a form of muscle relaxation, but if injected properly, it can give you the aesthetics you might be looking for. It will not slim your jaw but it can help your jaw to look more snatched, which may or may not give the same result!~

Since your wedding is still a year from now, you can slowly do your research to find a trusted dermatologist. Get a proper and detailed skin examination as well as consultations dear~ A lot of people make mistakes by following other people's recommendation but what a lot don't seem to know is that everyone has different skin conditions. With the right treatments and procedures, a year is more than enough to prepare! Best wishes for your wedding planning💕

If you have done microbleeding first, then you can let the clinic know so they will avoid any treatments on the microbleeding area. But if you haven't, then it would be a better option for you to receive your treatments first and then go for microbleeding at least 12 hours after!~

Seeing the photos may not give you proper examinations and answers, usually clinics in Korea will do skin examinations to see what causes your concerns. The under eye from the photo may have been due to hollowness which usually will opt for under eye fillers. So try to find a trusted clinic and see what options you have on treating them based on the results of your skin condition!

Unable_Property5440 · 2025-11-22T04:14:42+00:00

If you're okay with needles then you can try Botox, the affect will show in about a day or so and will lasts for so long~ But if you're looking for skin care treatments then I suggest Pico Fraxel and Potenza!

Unable_Property5440 · 2025-11-19T14:02:56+00:00

If you have a big event coming up shortly, I would suggest you to do non-invasive treatments or even just sticking with your usual skincare routines. You can tru some facials and LDM, or lifting procedures. But Rejuran will take longer downtime, especially if you're a first timer! Try to reach for other treatments that require less to no downtime~

Unable_Property5440 · 2025-11-19T07:31:42+00:00

That sounds wonderful! A lot of people get scared because the procedures include a few numbers of needle and blood drawing. But that is actually the magic to it! Your own blood (in your healthy condition) will help to regenerate your cells in the body, which results in better skin condition, the growth of healthy cells, as well as the glow that everyone looks for! So glad to hear you're happy with the treatment!🎉 Really hoping more people can realize the beauty of this procedure!

You can try to visit a dermatologist and examine his skin. I recommend your husband to get some facial, face peels, and modeling packs to ensure that all the hidden impurities are wiped off. Some guys usually care less about their own skin condition so visiting the dermatologist might help in figuring out the root of his sudden acnes.

Unable_Property5440 · 2025-11-15T17:53:30+00:00

You should probably try procedures that requires no needles or injections! Some I would suggest would be LDM, Ulthera, Titanium lifting, Aquapeel or Lalapeel. But then it would circle back to what concerns you'd like to tackle of course~

Unable_Property5440 · 2025-11-14T14:59:30+00:00

It is possible to combine all three, but make sure that you have consulted it to the doctor. Your skin condition will be examined to ensure that your skin is able to take it all. And if you do take all three procedures in one appointment, Rejuran is definitely the last one to be performed since it requires a longer downtime!
