Hello!
I am Jeong Bo-hwang from Cleor Clinic Gangnam.
"Even with a little heat, a single drink,
or just feeling nervous, my face flushes red.
Flushing is a source of stress."
While flushing may seem like just 'turning red,'
it is a daily concern for those experiencing it.
Makeup has its limits when trying to cover it,
and it becomes more upsetting as capillaries start to become visible over time.
Today, I will introduce Derma V in detail, a laser treatment
that fundamentally addresses these flushing concerns.Why does flushing occur?
It is important to understand the cause of flushing first.
Facial flushing is a skin condition where capillaries in the skin dilate,
making red blood more visible on the surface.
Simply put,
as small blood vessels in the skin repeatedly dilateand contract, they lose elasticity like a 'stretched rubber band'
and remain in a permanently dilated state.
There are various causes for flushing.UV rays, alcohol, temperature changes, hormones, autonomic nervous system responses, and even emotional changes—
all common elements of daily life—can be triggers.
Additionally, since flushing often appears alongside sensitive skin,
it is important to examine overall skin health
rather than just considering laser treatment alone.
If left untreated, capillary dilation worsens,
and capillaries become visible to the naked eye.
This is why natural recovery is difficult.
What is Derma V?
Derma V is a Long Pulse laser device
specialized for treating blood vessels and pigmentation.
Approved by the KFDA (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety) and the US FDA,
its core feature is integrating the advantages of existing vascular and pigment treatment lasers
into a single device.
The most significant feature of Gangnam Derma V
is the simultaneous use of two wavelengths.
532nm Wavelength
It acts as 'tweezers' targeting the surface and middle layers of the skin.
It selectively acts on pigment concerns like melasma, freckles, and blemishes,
as well as vascular issues such as facial flushing, visible capillaries, and acne-related redness.
1064nm Wavelength
This is the 'root work' that reaches the deep layers of the skin.
It regenerates collagen and elastin fibers,
helping to improve skin elasticity and fine lines.
Because both wavelengths work together,
flushing improvement and skin elasticity care
can be addressed simultaneously in a single session.
This is why Gangnam Derma V is classified
as a multi-treatment laser in dermatology.
Key Benefits and Advantages of Derma V
① Improvement of Facial Flushing and Visible Capillaries
The laser wavelength, selectively absorbed by hemoglobin in the blood vessels,
focuses on dilated capillaries.
The core principle is delivering energy only to vascular lesions
while providing minimal irritation to surrounding normal tissue.
Thanks to this, the return to daily life is relatively quick.
② Multi-pulse Technology — Prevention of Thermal Overload
The Multi-pulse function of Gangnam Derma V
delivers energy to the skin by dividing it into multiple pulses.
It works on the same principle as heating something evenly in stages
rather than running a microwave at maximum power all at once.
This prevents skin overheating while
ensuring stable energy delivery to deeper layers.
③ Real-time Temperature Monitoring + Cryogen Cooling
It is equipped with a function that measures and monitors
skin temperature in real-time during the procedure.
Additionally, cryogen gas cools the skin surface
as the laser is emitted, reducing pain and increasing safety.
The procedure is often performed without numbing cream
or separate gel application, making the preparation process simple.
④ Simultaneous Approach to Pigmentation and Elasticity
A practical strength of Gangnam Derma V is that it addresses
not only flushing but also pigment concerns like melasma and blemishes,
as well as loss of elasticity.
It is particularly suitable for those who want to
care for multiple concerns at once.
Pre- and Post-Procedure Precautions
Please remember the following to maintain the best results.
Before the Procedure
Avoid strong exfoliation (scrubs, peels) 2–3 days before the procedure.
It is recommended to avoid tanning or excessive UV exposure for at least 2 weeks before the procedure.
Refrain from drinking alcohol starting the day before the procedure.
After the Procedure
Temporary redness or a sensation of heat may occur after the procedure.
This is a normal reaction and usually subsides within a few hours to 1–2 days.
Apply sunscreen (SPF 50+) thoroughly every day.
(UV exposure after flushing treatment can delay recovery.)
Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot baths, and strenuous exercise for at least one week after the procedure.
Avoid alcohol and spicy foods as they can temporarily dilate blood vessels,so it is best to avoid them immediately after the procedure.
Pause the use of skincare ingredients that cause strong irritation (Retinol, AHA/BHA, etc.)
during the recovery period.Highly Recommended For:
Those whose cheeks and nose are always red and frequently feel hot
Those whose faces flush quickly and stay red for a long time when hot, drinking, or nervous
Those whose capillaries have started to become visible
Those with complex skin concerns such as flushing along with melasma, blemishes, and loss of elasticity
Those who need a quick return to daily life
Those who want "naturally improving skin"

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. When will I see results? While results vary individually, many feel their skin tone
becomes more even between 2 to 4 weeks after the procedure.
Since vascular lasers work by gradual improvement
over repeated sessions rather than immediate dramatic changes,
consistent care is important.
Q2. How many sessions are required?
It depends on the severity of flushing, skin condition, and improvement goals.
Generally, 3 to 5 sessions are planned,
but the exact number should be determined after an in-person consultation.
Q3. How long do the results last?
It depends on individual skin condition, lifestyle habits (alcohol, UV exposure, etc.),
and maintenance.
Managing lifestyle habits, such as UV protection and moderating alcohol/irritating foods,
helps maintain the effects longer.
Q4. Are there any side effects?
Temporary redness, heat, or mild swelling may occur after the procedure,
which usually subside naturally.
However, reactions may vary by skin type and condition,
so a thorough consultation with a specialist before the procedure is important.
It cannot be definitively stated that there are no side effects, as results vary by individual.
Q5. How is Gangnam Derma V different from other flushing lasers?
Derma V utilizes both 532nm and 1064nm wavelengths,
allowing for a simultaneous approach to surface vascular/pigment lesions
and collagen regeneration in the deep dermis.
It also offers advantages in safety and convenience
through the combination of Multi-pulse technology and a cryogen cooling system.
We recommend deciding which device is more suitable for your skin
through an in-person consultation.
We truly understand the desire to "improve naturally without it being obvious."
Since flushing concerns do not develop overnight,
it is important to approach the solution consistently.
Gangnam Derma V is one of the systematic options for those
with skin that feels hot and turns red frequently, or skin where capillaries have become visible.
At Cleor Clinic Gangnam, we carefully check your skin condition
and design a treatment plan tailored to your situation.
If you are concerned about flushing, feel free to visit for a consultation.
We will work with you so that small changes can lead to confidence.
