Genesis Toning Treatment, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Important Principles

• 1. Sufficient Irradiation of over 2,000 shots > Appropriate energy is crucial for effects to appear across the entire face. Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic sets over 2,000 shots as its treatment standard.
• 2. Transparent Verification of Total Shot Count After Treatment > After completing the treatment, we directly confirm the actual total number of shots used with the patient. This process ensures transparency in the treatment.
• 3. Maintain Minimum Fluence (Energy Intensity) Standards > We perform treatments while adhering to a minimum appropriate energy intensity to ensure sufficient thermal energy is delivered to the dermis layer. We do not simply proceed with weak intensity.
• 4. Customized Treatment for Individual Skin Concerns > We adjust and apply treatment patterns and overlapping methods according to each individual's skin concerns, such as pores, redness, and skin elasticity.
• 5. Utilize Delicate Treatment Techniques > We delicately control the speed of handpiece movement, the direction of irradiation, and the degree of energy overlap. Through this, we strive to effectively deliver the necessary amount of heat to the skin.
• 6. Maintain Sufficient Treatment Time and Density > With personalized design and overlapping irradiation methods applied, sufficient treatment time is secured. This can contribute to enhancing the treatment's effectiveness.
• 7. Systematic Pre- and Post-Treatment Management Process > All procedures, from skin diagnosis to the post-treatment verification process, are systematically carried out. This ensures a consistent treatment process.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Approach to Genesis Toning

Genesis toning may yield different expected results depending on the treatment method.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we do not merely operate the equipment; we perform Genesis toning based on the principles of skin reaction and treatment techniques.

1. Sufficient Irradiation of over 2,000 shots

Genesis toning is a treatment that aims to deliver thermal energy to the dermis layer of the skin to aid collagen production and stabilize dilated blood vessels.

To elicit a meaningful response from the skin, a certain amount of energy must be consistently delivered. Therefore, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic considers over 2,000 shots as the basic treatment volume.

If fewer than 2,000 shots are administered, it may be difficult to sufficiently cover the entire face, and the expected results may not be satisfactory.

2. Transparent Verification of Total Shot Count After Treatment

After the treatment is completed, we go through a process of verifying the actual total number of shots irradiated with the patient.

This process is one of the important procedures for ensuring treatment transparency and verifying the adequacy and density of the energy used.

3. Maintain Minimum Fluence (Energy Intensity) Standards

Genesis toning works by accumulating thermal energy within the skin. If the energy intensity (fluence) is too low, insufficient heat may be delivered to the dermis layer, resulting in a minimal skin response.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we adjust the energy considering the patient's skin condition, but we do not perform treatments at low intensities that make it difficult to expect skin changes.

Rather than an approach that merely gives the impression of having received treatment, we focus on treatments that genuinely induce a response in the skin.

4. Customized Treatment for Individual Skin Concerns

Before the treatment, the chief physician closely examines the areas of skin concern with the patient using a mirror. Afterwards, a customized treatment plan is formulated, considering the thermal response of the respective areas and the changes the patient expects.

Areas with redness or dilated blood vessels: Treated to stabilize the dilated blood vessels.

Areas with pores or fine wrinkles: Energy can be overlapped during irradiation to focus the thermal stimulation more intensely.

Areas with reduced elasticity: Intensive thermal energy is delivered to localized areas using a stacking technique.

5. Utilize Delicate Treatment Techniques

For Genesis toning treatment, merely moving the handpiece quickly may not be sufficient to induce an adequate skin response.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we meticulously consider and adjust factors such as the handpiece's movement speed, irradiation angle, the number of energy overlaps, and the spacing between passes.

Sensitive skin areas: Energy is delivered more quickly and superficially.

Areas requiring elasticity improvement: Irradiated more slowly and repeatedly.

After providing an initial sensation of warmth on the skin surface, subsequent passes involve more concentrated irradiation to actually accumulate thermal energy in the dermis layer.

6. Maintain Sufficient Treatment Time and Density

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Genesis Toning goes beyond simply reaching a set number of shots.

Since it includes overlapping irradiation customized to individual skin concerns and a meticulous energy adjustment process, the actual treatment time is conducted for over 10 minutes.

This stems from our effort to increase treatment density and deliver appropriate stimulation to the skin.

7. Systematic Pre- and Post-Treatment Management Process

Before the treatment, we utilize Mark-Vu diagnostic equipment to thoroughly analyze the skin condition. Subsequently, treatment goals and directions are established through consultation with the chief physician.

During the treatment, we carefully observe the skin's thermal response and the patient's condition in real-time.

After the procedure, we will show you the treated area directly in the mirror and provide detailed information on the total number of shots.

From pre-procedure preparation to post-procedure care, we maintain standards and sincerity at every stage to ensure that each patient receives 'meaningful treatment'.

Genesis Toning Principle

Genesis Toning utilizes a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with a 1064nm wavelength. This laser repeatedly delivers energy to the dermal layer, slowly accumulating thermal energy within the skin.

Through this process, the skin receives continuous thermal stimulation without allowing heat to dissipate. When heat accumulates beyond a certain level, fibroblasts in the dermal layer are activated.

Fibroblasts are crucial cells that constitute skin tissue, playing a key role in producing collagen and elastin.

Collagen provides firmness and density to the skin, contributing to the support of pore-surrounding tissues,

while elastin is responsible for skin elasticity, helping stretched skin to contract back.

When these two components are newly formed, you can expect changes such as pore contraction, improvement in fine wrinkles, and smoother skin texture.

This thermal stimulation also affects blood vessels within the dermis.

Without strongly destroying blood vessels, repeated low-temperature stimulation can gradually stabilize the responsiveness of capillaries, helping to alleviate symptoms such as redness or facial heat sensation.

Genesis Toning can be a significant approach particularly for improving post-acne red marks (PIE).

Unlike hyperpigmentation, PIE is a phenomenon caused by residual dilation of microvessels and a mild inflammatory response within the dermis.

This is a problem that is difficult to improve with simple whitening treatments, exfoliation, or a single session of a vascular laser.

The repeated thermal stimulation of Genesis Toning helps to mitigate the vascular wall reactivity in this area and inhibit the activity of inflammation-inducing substances (such as histamine, prostaglandins).

Furthermore, the excessive activation of immune cells within the dermis gradually normalizes, allowing the skin to recover to a state where it reacts less sensitively to external stimuli.

In other words, it is best to understand Genesis Toning not as a treatment that removes red marks in the short term, but rather as a therapy that gradually regulates and calms the underlying constitutional tendency for skin redness.

This method can be considered relatively safely even for individuals with sensitive skin or those who have experienced hyperpigmentation after high-output vascular treatments in the past.

This heat accumulation response is called 'thermal stacking'. This method can help gradually improve the functional structure of the dermis without directly stimulating the epidermis or exfoliating.

Expected Effects of Genesis Toning

Pore Reduction

Collagen production in the dermal layer is stimulated, restoring skin elasticity, which can lead to the gradual contraction of enlarged pores.

Improved Skin Texture and Reduced Fine Wrinkles

As the skin's internal structure is refined, fine wrinkles and rough skin texture can be alleviated. It can also help makeup adhere better.

Reduced Redness and Facial Heat Sensation

By regulating excessively dilated vascular responses and calming micro-inflammation, it can contribute to reducing recurrent symptoms of facial redness.

Improvement of Post-Acne Red Marks (PIE)

Red marks caused by microvessel dilation rather than skin pigmentation changes can be gradually lightened with thermal stimulation.

Restored Skin Elasticity

The activation of fibroblasts in the dermal layer enhances skin density, leading to overall improvement in skin elasticity.

Improved Skin Tone and Restored Radiance

When dermal circulation improves, dull-looking skin tone can brighten, and healthy vitality and a natural glow can be restored.

Recommended for Genesis Toning

Individuals with enlarged pores and reduced skin elasticity

Sensitive skin that easily reddens due to emotional changes or temperature stimuli

Skin with persistent red marks after acne inflammation

Individuals concerned about rough skin texture and fine wrinkles

Those who find highly stimulating procedures burdensome and wish for gentle skin care

Those looking for a relatively gentle laser that can be combined with other treatments like skin boosters

Recommended Frequency for Genesis Toning

Genesis Toning treatment does not require significant separate recovery time. Therefore, it has the advantage of allowing treatments at relatively short intervals while minimizing disruption to daily life.

Basic Recommended Treatment Intervals

We generally recommend 10 or more treatments at 1 to 2-week intervals as the initial recommended cycle.

Customized Intervals According to Skin Concern Type

• If targeting the reduction of pores or fine lines, 10 treatments at 1-week intervals may be considered.

• For managing redness or post-inflammatory erythema (PIE), we suggest 10 treatments at 1 to 2-week intervals.

• For overall skin tone improvement, 10 treatments at 1 to 2-week intervals are generally performed.

Maintenance Treatments

After the initial treatment cycle is completed, it is recommended to undergo maintenance treatments once every 2 to 3 weeks to continuously support collagen production and vascular stability.

How much pain is involved with Genesis Toning treatment?

Genesis Toning treatment generally involves minimal pain.

However, if no sensation is felt during the treatment, it is possible that sufficient thermal energy may not have reached the target dermis layer.

For the necessary thermal energy to effectively accumulate in the dermis layer, the treatment should be accompanied by a sensation of gentle warmth within the skin, or a somewhat hot feeling in localized areas.

Genesis Toning Treatment Process

• Precise Diagnosis and Consultation > The patient's current condition is thoroughly assessed using skin analysis equipment. Based on this, the medical staff conducts a direct consultation and collaboratively sets treatment goals.
• Reconfirmation of Concern Areas > Immediately before starting the treatment, we confirm the areas requiring treatment with the patient while looking in a mirror. Through this process, the personalized treatment plan is finalized.
• Individualized Customized Treatment > The treatment is performed by meticulously adjusting the laser stacking method, number of passes, and energy intensity according to the specific characteristics of the patient's skin concern areas.
• Treatment Result Confirmation and Total Shot Count Verification > After the treatment, we examine the treated area with the patient in a mirror. Additionally, the total number of laser shots actually used is transparently verified and communicated.

Our Medical Team's Treatment Philosophy

We believe that satisfactory results from any treatment are achieved when the appropriate amount of energy is combined with the medical team's meticulous efforts.

Genesis Toning treatment goes beyond simply performing it; achieving the expected effects requires a sufficient number of shots, appropriate intensity settings for the patient, and precise application to the treatment area.

Our medical team strives to carefully adhere to these fundamental principles of treatment during every session.

Rather than simply following prescribed procedures, we aim to provide treatment that offers tangible improvements for each patient's individual skin concerns.
