Hello.
I am Jeong Bo-hwang, the Chief Director of Cleor Clinic Gangnam!
"I always have to use a filter after taking a photo.
My skin elasticity isn't what it used to be,
and I'm really struggling because I lack confidence in my bare face due to my pores."
I believe many of you might have
nodded your head in agreement with the story above at least once.
In fact, one of the most common concerns I hear in the consultation room
is precisely the issue of pores and skin elasticity.
Pores that you might have overlooked in your early 20s
start to become more prominent as you age, as your skin becomes drier,
and as you are repeatedly exposed to UV rays.
Once pores have enlarged, it is difficult for them to shrink on their own.
No matter how hard you wash your face or change your basic skincare products,
if you don't feel a fundamental change,
it is time for an approach that creates change from within the skin, starting from the dermal layer.
Today, I will provide a detailed explanation of the Gangnam Genesis treatment
as one of those solutions.
I will honestly explain everything from the principles to the precautions, so it doesn't read like a typical advertisement.
What exactly is the Gangnam Genesis treatment?
Gangnam Genesis is a skin rejuvenation laser treatment
using a Long Pulse 1064nm wavelength Nd:YAG laser.
The name sounds complicated, right? To put it simply:
Genesis is a treatment that delivers 'warm heat' deep into the skin
to reawaken the dormant 'skin factory'.
In the dermal layer of our skin, there are cells called
'fibroblasts' that produce collagen.
When these cells become sluggish due to aging, UV rays, or stress,
collagen production decreases,
resulting in sagging skin, enlarged pores, and the appearance of fine lines.
In the Genesis treatment, the laser beam penetrates the epidermis
and is absorbed by water, melanin pigment,
and oxyhemoglobin in the blood vessels within the dermis, stimulating the dermis
to regenerate collagen.
Without causing direct wounds to the surface,
it enhances the skin's own regenerative power from deep within.
Effects and Advantages: From Pores to Redness All at Once
Gangnam Genesis is not a treatment that just targets pores.
Because it is based on collagen regeneration,
it helps with various skin concerns caused by a lack of collagen.
The regenerated collagen effectively improves fine lines, pores,
and acne scars,
while also enhancing skin tone and texture
to achieve overall skin improvement.
Key Benefits of Genesis:
Pore Reduction
As elasticity is restored, the area around the pores naturally tightens, making them visibly smaller.Skin Elasticity Improvement
Collagen and elastin regeneration makes the skin plump and firm again.Fine Line Reduction
As the dermal layer is filled from within, fine lines are naturally improved.Relief of Facial Flushing and Red Marks
It constricts dilated blood vessels and stimulates collagen around them
to induce new collagen formation,
making it effective for facial flushing and red acne marks.Evening Skin Tone and Texture
Overall, the skin becomes clearer and the texture is evenly refined.
Additionally, when combined with other pigment treatments,
it creates a synergistic effect, making the skin clearer and more resilient.
One of the biggest concerns for first-time patients
is often, "Will it be painful?"
To start with the conclusion, Gangnam Genesis is a treatment with almost no pain.
There is minimal pain during the procedure, so even those sensitive to pain
or with delicate skin can receive the treatment with peace of mind.
How many sessions are needed to see results?
This is what many people are most curious about!
Usually, 3 to 5 sessions at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks are required,and
while it varies depending on individual skin conditions, the general progression is as follows:
🗓️ Sessions 1–3— You will begin to notice your skin tone becoming slightly brighter and your skin texture
becoming smoother.
Rather than a dramatic change yet,
it feels more like "my skin seems to have improved somehow."
🗓️ Sessions 3–5— Pores become visibly tighter,
and an increase in skin elasticity can be seen with the naked eye.
Improvements in fine lines and redness also often
become distinct from this point on.
🗓️ After 5 Sessions— As collagen regeneration accumulates, the effects
become more firmly established.
The more consistent the care, the longer the improved state is maintained.
However, in cases focusing on pigmentation like melasma,
more sessions may be required,
so the exact number will be determined after examining your skin during the initial consultation.
Pre- and Post-Treatment Precautions
No matter how good the treatment is, if aftercare is not followed,
the effects can be halved. Here are the instructions you must follow.
Before Treatment:
Please avoid excessive drinking or extreme fatigue on the day of the procedure.
Be sure to consult with the director in advance regarding any medications you are taking (blood thinners, skin-irritating ingredients, etc.).
The procedure is not available for those who are pregnant.
After Treatment:
There may be slight redness and a stinging sensation after the procedure, but this will subside within a few hours.
Please avoid saunas, hot stone rooms, and strenuous exercise for about a week.
Dryness may occur, so use moisturizer frequently and apply sunscreen thoroughly when going out.
Washing your face and applying makeup are possible on the same day, but please refrain from using scrubs or irritating peeling products.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Who is a good candidate for Gangnam Genesis?
A. It is suitable for those concerned about enlarged pores, those who feel sagging due to loss of skin elasticity,
those with facial flushing or fine lines, and those with remaining red acne marks.
It is broadly suitable for a wide range of skin concerns.
We recommend it to those who want to improve their overall skin condition,
including pigmentation, pores, facial flushing, elasticity, and fine lines.
Q. Can I return to daily life immediately after the procedure?
A. Yes, you can. There is no damage to the skin surface, so there is almost no pain,
and it doesn't show immediately after the procedure, so it does not interfere with daily life.
Many office workers receive the treatment during their lunch break and return to work immediately.
Q. When will I start to feel the effects?
A. About one week after the procedure, skin elasticity and radiance begin to appear,
and improvements in pores, scars, fine lines, skin texture, and skin tone
can be seen with the naked eye. However, as individual results may vary, consistent care is important.
Q. How many sessions are needed to see results?
A. Generally, 3 to 5 sessions at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks are recommended,
though this may vary depending on skin condition and goals.
We will create a customized plan through a consultation during your first visit.
Q. Can I receive this along with other laser treatments?
A. Yes, it is possible. The best combination of treatments
depends on your skin condition, so the director will guide you during the consultation.
Please remember one thing! Genesis is not a treatment that
directly irritates the skin with a laser,
but rather one that helps the skin regenerate collagen on its own.
Skincare is like exercise; rather than doing it intensely once,
managing it consistently at regular intervals
creates much longer-lasting effects.
It's not too late to start working on skin elasticity.
You no longer have to get used to a daily routine of applying thick foundation because of pores,
reaching for beauty filters every time you take a photo,
or feeling a loss of confidence in front of the mirror.
You don't have to settle for this anymore.
Gangnam Genesis is not a flashy procedure.
It is a treatment that quietly, without irritation,
revives the skin's own power to recover.
Using the right method for you, without overdoing it, and consistently—
I believe that is the way to create healthy, long-lasting skin.
If you feel lost or if you've had consultations elsewhere but
found it difficult to decide, please feel free to visit Cleor Clinic Gangnam.
