Pigment care

Are you only shaving off the surface of the skin and making it sensitive?

Even when the brown color looks the same, a blemish sitting on the epidermis and pigment that has gone down into the dermis must be handled differently. Working only on the surface again and again may make the color look lighter, but the skin becomes sensitive, and if the cause remains it comes back. So we first look at which layer the problem is in, and then decide the device and the output.

Equipment

GentleMax Pro

It is used to match the depth and type of the pigment.

GentleMax ProLight blemishes close to the epidermis call for a different wavelength setting. GentleMax Pro delivers two wavelengths, 755 nm and 1064 nm, with a cooling device added to reduce irritation to the epidermis.

An epidermis protected by cooling

GentleMax Pro sprays cold cooling gas during the procedure, reducing heat irritation and stinging in the epidermis.

Wavelength selection by pigment type

Pigment close to the epidermis, such as lentigines and blemishes, is handled with different wavelengths and outputs to keep damage to the epidermis to a minimum.

GD Toning

A treatment that uses gold and diamond ampoules together with QX-MAX toning

An ampoule containing gold and diamond components is applied to the skin, and the QX-MAX toning laser is then delivered over it.

Ampoule and laser carried out together

GD Toning is a procedure in which a gold ampoule and a diamond ampoule are applied to the skin, and toning is then carried out over them with the QX-MAX. Ampoule application and laser delivery follow one after the other within a single session.

An ampoule that smooths texture

The gold particles and diamond components contained in the ampoule work in the direction of settling the texture and dead cells of the epidermis. The toning laser delivered over this aims to act on the pigment, and the two proceed together within one procedure.

About three times, about a month apart

It proceeds in the order of applying the ampoule after cleansing, carrying out toning, and finishing with soothing care. At Teo Korean Medicine Clinic we divide it into about three sessions at intervals of once a month. This may differ according to the condition of the skin.

The exact interval and care method vary from person to person, and we explain them during consultation.

One to one

The director consults with you directly and provides the care personally

The director who gives the consultation also performs the procedure. We do not shorten the time given to each person.

Careful, thorough care

Rather than being rushed by a fixed schedule, we go over your skin condition and constitution point by point and set up a plan before the procedure. We try not to miss what is different about each person.

Mechanism

Pigment responds differently depending on its depth

Even for the same brown color, the wavelength and output needed differ depending on whether it sits in the epidermis or the dermis.

Process

The four stages of Teo Korean Medicine Clinic pigmentation care

We look at the skin depth first

We first look at whether the pigment sits on the epidermis or runs deep into the dermis, and then decide the right device and energy output.

We cool from the epidermis first

Before the laser is delivered, the cooling system cools the epidermis first, reducing both heat stimulation and the burden of pain.

We target the pigment precisely

Based on the assessed depth, energy is delivered precisely to the melanin pigment with QX-MAX or GentleMax Pro.

We manage recurrence as well

With acupuncture treatment and customized herbal medicine, we carefully look at and manage even the imbalance inside the body that keeps producing pigment.

Study

We are always working to improve our care

The directors of Teo Korean Medicine Clinic take turns across the branches and gather in one place to study together. They meet for one thing: so that today's care improves on yesterday's.

We look together

Looking alone and looking together are not the same. We put what has built up in each of our consultation rooms on one table and borrow one another's eyes.

We keep learning

Neither our equipment nor our techniques stand still. We learn both what is newly introduced and what is difficult to handle, and bring them into our care.

It returns to patient care

What we study is used, in the end, in the consultation room. That is why we gather. What you meet as a patient is the result.

Even when pigmentation is the same shade of brown, the layer to be treated differs, so the assessment varies accordingly.

Skin that has taken heat can be dry for a time, so apply moisturizing cream often to keep it hydrated.

FAQ

Common questions

I am afraid the pain during a laser procedure will be severe.

With GentleMax Pro, cold cooling gas (DCD™) is sprayed at the same time to keep the epidermis cool and protected, while QX-MAX distributes energy gently to greatly reduce heat sensation and stinging. Individual experiences vary, but we carefully adjust the intensity to keep patients as comfortable as possible during the procedure.

Can blisters or scabs form after the procedure? I am worried about side effects.

Light toning does not get much in the way of daily life, but procedures that require higher laser output, such as removing lentigines or tattoos, can leave blisters or scabs. Depending on your skin type, temporary pustules or breakouts may also appear. However, this is part of a natural process of regeneration. At Teo Korean Medicine Clinic we carefully provide an ointment matched to you that soothes the skin after the procedure and supports recovery, and we take responsibility for aftercare so that you can return to daily life with peace of mind.

I had melasma treated at a dermatology clinic, but it kept coming back.

It is because only the pigment visible on the surface was removed, while the 'imbalance' inside the body that keeps producing pigment was left as it was. At Teo Korean Medicine Clinic we target blemishes precisely with a premium laser while also raising immunity with customized herbal medicine and acupuncture treatment, which helps lower how often it comes back and helps build a healthy skin foundation.

CO2 laserFor lesions raised above the skin, shaving them down is more appropriate than burning them off. A CO2 laser is used to adjust the depth in stages and trim only the raised part precisely.

CO2 laser

It uses a wavelength that responds to water, so it acts only on the lesion tissue. This reduces the heat spreading to the surroundings and so reduces the room for a mark to be left.

We look at it depth by depth

How far the root goes down matters more than the size you can see. Deep ones are not finished in one go but divided across several sessions.

We look at it by type

Moles, age spots, skin tags, and flat warts differ in how they look and in how they are handled. We identify which it is before starting.

We take extra care where the skin is thin

On thin-skinned areas such as around the eyes and the mouth we lower the output and space the sessions further apart. We choose not leaving a mark over removing it quickly.

Process

Teo Korean Medicine Clinic's four lesion care steps

We check the type of lesion

Because the cause and the way it must be handled differ depending on whether it is a mole, a wart, or a skin tag, we assess it accurately first.

We assess the depth of the lesion

We look at whether the root of the lesion stays in the epidermis or reaches deep into the dermis, and set the output and the number of sessions accordingly.

We remove it precisely

We minimize damage to the surrounding normal skin and precisely target and clear only the area where the lesion is located.

It continues into scar care

So that the treated spot closes over smoothly, we provide a regenerating ointment and explain how to care for it, in detail from start to finish.

Study

We are always working to improve our care

The directors of Teo Korean Medicine Clinic take turns across the branches and gather in one place to study together. They meet for one thing: so that today's care improves on yesterday's.

We look together

Looking alone and looking together are not the same. We put what has built up in each of our consultation rooms on one table and borrow one another's eyes.

We keep learning

Neither our equipment nor our techniques stand still. We learn both what is newly introduced and what is difficult to handle, and bring them into our care.

It returns to patient care

What we study is used, in the end, in the consultation room. That is why we gather. What you meet as a patient is the result.

For moles and lesions, the depth of the root matters more than what is visible on the surface, so we do not decide by sight alone.

Do not pick off the scab

Picking off the scab that forms where a lesion was removed can leave a scar, so let it come off naturally.

Keeping up sun protection

If ultraviolet light reaches the tender new skin, pigment can be left behind darkly, so please apply sunscreen generously and carefully.

Waterproof bandages and gauze

Keep the waterproof bandage on

Please keep a waterproof bandage on for the period you were told, so that the treated area is not irritated by friction or moisture.

FAQ

Common questions

Is it certain that no scars or red marks will remain after the procedure?

We do not exaggerate and tell you that no scar will remain at all. If the root of the mole was deep, a slight dip or redness may remain at first. But at Teo Korean Medicine Clinic we shave it away precisely and then take responsibility through to the end for the regeneration tape care and the natural Korean medicine regeneration care that help the wound settle as neatly as possible. If you follow the aftercare we explain, it may help to keep scarring to a minimum and to recover your own smooth skin.

Once a skin tag or a wart is removed with a laser, will it never come back?

Lesions visible on the surface can be cleared neatly with a laser, but warts (viral) and skin tags (linked to lowered immunity) can recur around the area at any time when the body's immunity drops. So if they keep spreading, we recommend shaving the surface while also combining tailored herbal medicine that manages internal immunity, in order to markedly lower how often they return.

Lifting & Body

True lifting is not 'pulling' but 'filling and raising'.

Pulling the surface tight may look firm for that moment, but if the inside is empty it returns quickly. We deliver heat to the dermis to prompt collagen to be made again, and then tidy the lines on top of that.

Process

The four stages of Teo Korean Medicine Clinic lifting

We assess the degree of sagging

We first look at how far the contour and firmness have given way, then set the energy and intensity needed for each area.

We cool and protect the epidermis

While the energy goes in, contact cooling protects the epidermis, reducing both the heat sensation and the burden of pain.

Energy is delivered to the dermis

According to the depth assessed, energy that stimulates collagen production is delivered in turn with LDM or Onda.

We continue with firmness care

With acupuncture treatment and herbal medicine, we steadily look after the body's balance so that the skin can maintain its firmness on its own.

FAQ

Common questions

How much pain is there during the procedure?

With ONDA lifting, energy is delivered while the cold Coolwaves™ contact cooling system safely protects the epidermis. Individual experiences vary, but this greatly reduces the burden of pain, allowing the procedure to feel warm and comfortable even without anesthetic cream.

When do the effects appear and how long do they last?

Right after the procedure, you may feel a tightening sensation from the contracted collagen. Over roughly 1-3 months that follow, new collagen continues to form and remodel, which helps improve the contour. Results vary by individual, but with continued care you may maintain healthy firmness over a long period.

Can I go about daily life right after the procedure?

Yes, in most cases right away. The lifting program at Teo Korean Medicine Clinic uses non-invasive devices that keep damage to the epidermis to a minimum, so there is little bruising, swelling, or redness right after the procedure, and most people put on light makeup and return to daily life immediately.

A gold micro-particle application procedure that acts on the sebaceous glands

Specially made fine gold particles gather in the sebaceous glands and turn light energy into heat, acting on the sebaceous glands.

Particles that gather in the sebaceous glands

Gold PTT is a procedure that uses a topical preparation rather than a machine. Specially made fine gold particles in an ampoule of gold-colored liquid gather around the sebaceous glands, then take in light energy and turn it into heat, acting on the sebaceous glands.

Low photosensitivity burden

These particles are known not to be photosensitive, so there is less need to avoid ultraviolet light after the procedure. It is a procedure carried out with the aim of causing little disruption to daily life.

Once a week, 3–5 sessions

At intervals of 1 week, it is carried out 3 to 5 times. It is known as a method that does not require oral medication alongside it, so those who find taking medication burdensome can also consider whether to proceed after a consultation.

The exact number of sessions and how they proceed differ with your skin condition, and are decided at the consultation.

Worry

While squeezing and drying are repeated

Acne is not a matter of sebum alone. The places where inflammation rises and the skin's power to hold up have to be looked at together for the cycle to break.

Washing the face with both hands lathered in front of a washbasin

You only end up washing more

You end up washing several times a day because the oiliness bothers you, but the more you wash, the drier the skin becomes and the more sebum it produces instead.

A hand hooking the ear loop of a white mask over the ear

Covering up comes first

The chin gets covered by a mask or by hair, and in covered areas friction and moisture overlap, so breakouts come up more often.

Holding a white towel to both cheeks in front of a washbasin

It repeats every night

When late schedules and lack of sleep build up, breakouts return in the same place and the same shape more often.

The marks last longer

More than the acne itself, the red marks and pigmentation left behind after it settles last longer and are not covered even by makeup.

Mechanism

What happens inside a blocked pore

Once you know the order in which things happen beneath the red spot you can see, it becomes clear what to address first.

LDM and LED calm areas that have flared red, and on areas where the sebaceous glands are concentrated we also work on texture with Onda.

We finish by building the barrier

We finish with hydration and soothing care. The skin's own capacity to hold up has to return before repeats in the same spot become less frequent.

Checklist

We recommend this for

  • Those whose acne keeps returning in the same place and the same shape
  • Those whose red marks linger long after squeezing
  • Those who took oral medication for a long time but see it come back when they stop
  • Those whose skin is dry and tight yet still breaks out
  • Those whose breakouts gather where a mask or hair touches the skin
  • Those whose condition has worsened from covering it with makeup

Red breakouts that keep coming back no matter how often you squeeze them - now is the time to build the skin's own strength to overcome them.

Equipment

Equipment at Teo Korean Medicine Clinic

The devices here are machines that have long been in use and are already well established. Even with the same machine, how much is delivered and at what depth differs from person to person. At Teo Korean Medicine Clinic, the director makes that judgment personally.

Study

We are always working to improve our care

The directors of Teo Korean Medicine Clinic take turns across the branches and gather in one place to study together. They meet for one thing: so that today's care improves on yesterday's.

People standing around the device, picking up the handpiece to try it for themselves
People in white coats and scrubs sit together in front of a screen, looking at handouts

We look together

Looking alone and looking together are not the same. We put what has built up in each of our consultation rooms on one table and borrow one another's eyes.

We keep learning

Neither our equipment nor our techniques stand still. We learn both what is newly introduced and what is difficult to handle, and bring them into our care.

It returns to patient care

What we study is used, in the end, in the consultation room. That is why we gather. What you meet as a patient is the result.

Acne can appear differently at each stage, even in the same spot, so we reassess it each time.

What a Korean medicine clinic can offer

We follow up after the laser in the same place

It happens on the skin, but the cause is not only in the skin. Looking at the heat, circulation, and digestion inside the body at the same time is what a Korean medicine clinic can do.

Herbal medicine pouches

We look at constitution and heat

Someone with heat gathered in the stomach and someone with sluggish circulation get acne in different places and shapes, even though it is the same acne. We tell them apart through pulse diagnosis and questioning, and consider a herbal prescription to match.

Hands administering pharmacopuncture on the back of a hand

Anti-inflammatory pharmacopuncture

Where inflammation keeps returning, we add pharmacopuncture that supports inflammation care. We look at the same place the laser treats once more, in a different way.

Hands taking a soothing ointment from a jar

Natural soothing ointment

For skin that can be sensitive for a time after a procedure, we prescribe a soothing ointment based on natural extracts, such as Jaungo, to help recovery.

After care

Before and after the procedure

Two hands resting still on a white towel

Do not squeeze

Where you have squeezed with your fingers, inflammation spreads deeper and a scar is more likely to remain. However much it bothers you, please leave it as it is until your treatment.

A washbasin and a gentle cleanser

Wash your face twice a day

Washing more often does not make it improve. Wash gently twice a day, morning and evening, with lukewarm water, without rubbing.

A sunscreen tube and a straw hat

Sun protection

If ultraviolet light reaches a spot that has settled, the red mark turns into brown pigment and stays longer. Please apply sunscreen carefully.

FAQ

Common questions

Can my face get redder or break out more after extraction or a procedure?

While old dead skin is tidied away and inflammation is emptied out, sebum that was hidden inside the skin and could not come to the surface may temporarily rise, and slight redness may show. This is a natural process in which the skin regains its turnover cycle, and with the LDM and LED soothing care carried out alongside the procedure it settles gradually within a few days, so there is no need for much concern.

Do I have to take herbal medicine for acne treatment?

It is not something everyone has to take. For mild breakouts or temporary inflammation, improvement can be expected from external procedures alone. However, for chronic adult acne that keeps returning around the jaw, combining herbal medicine can make up for the limits of treatment that feels like 'pouring water into a leaky jar.' We assess your condition honestly and recommend only the prescriptions that are truly needed.

I have taken sebum-control medication for a long time and my skin is very dry — can I still have the procedure?

Yes, and in fact we actively recommend it for skin that has become thin. Adding LDM Smart Tri treatment to skin that has become extremely dry with a weakened barrier from taking the medication delivers moisture (hyaluronic acid) into the dermis, which may help relieve the tight feeling underneath and build a strong environment in which the skin can defend itself.

Other skin care treatments

Red marks and pigment left after it settles are covered under pigment and brightening, and enlarged pores and texture continue under lifting.

Price

Procedures and costs

The makeup of the program differs with your skin condition and goals. The cost when treatments are combined is explained in the consultation.

Skin booster

Cosmetics blocked by the skin barrier: how long will you go on wetting only the surface of the skin?

Topical products alone find it hard to cross the barrier. Moisture and regenerating ingredients are delivered directly beneath the skin, so texture and radiance are addressed together.

Fees explained in advance

We explain the cost before the procedure. We try not to add to the cost burden, while not shortening the consultation and procedure time given to each person.

The thickness of the skin barrier and the degree of dryness differ from person to person, so we decide the depth and the amount as we go.

Worry

It stops at the surface even when applied

The skin barrier is a door meant to keep the outside out. Even a good ingredient dries on the surface if it cannot pass that door.

The products just pile up

You buy something new because what you were using did not suit you, and when that does not suit you either you buy again — and the glass bottles on the sink just keep piling up.

Inside it still feels tight

It looks oily, but feels tight after washing. Oil sits only on the surface while the inside is dry — dehydrated skin under an oily surface.

Makeup does not sit well

It feels fine when you apply it, but a few hours later it cracks and clumps along the texture. That is a sign the texture has become rough.

The radiance fades

The face looks dull even though wrinkles have not increased much. The skin is no longer returning light evenly.

Mechanism

Three places across the barrier

Even the same ingredient does different work depending on how deep it goes. That is why we separate the ways it is delivered.

Surface

It stays on the surface

Most ingredients in the cosmetics you apply sit on top of the stratum corneum and disappear over time.

Barrier

The barrier blocks it

The stratum corneum, stacked like bricks, is a door that blocks what is outside. Large molecules cannot get past it.

Process

Four stages we look at before injecting

We look at what is lacking

We look at whether moisture is lacking, whether regeneration is slow, or whether the barrier itself has broken down. This is what determines the ingredients to be delivered.

We decide the method of delivery

If you are sensitive to irritation, we go with LDM, which uses no needles; if a wide area has to be filled evenly, we go with Dermashine. We divide the approach according to your condition.

We inject at a matched depth

Too shallow and it sits on top; too deep and it does not stay. We adjust the injection depth to the different skin thickness of each area.

We finish so that it settles in

We finish with soothing and moisturizing so that the delivered ingredients can settle. Same-day care shapes how long it lasts.

Checklist

We recommend this for

  • For those whose skin looks oily yet feels tight after washing
  • For those whose makeup cracks along the texture and lifts
  • Those who see little change even after switching cosmetics
  • Those who feel fine lines along with a loss of glow
  • Those whose skin has thinned and who itch more often
  • Those who want to get their skin texture in order before an important occasion

We look together

Looking alone and looking together are not the same. We put what has built up in each of our consultation rooms on one table and borrow one another's eyes.

We keep learning

Neither our equipment nor our techniques stand still. We learn both what is newly introduced and what is difficult to handle, and bring them into our care.

It returns to patient care

What we study is used, in the end, in the consultation room. That is why we gather. What you meet as a patient is the result.

Different states are mixed inside the word 'dry,' so it takes an eye that separates them.

What a Korean medicine clinic can offer

Filling it up, and keeping it from drying out

If it ends with putting it in, only what was put in stays. Looking together at the state in which the body holds and circulates moisture is what a Korean medicine clinic can do.

Herbal medicine pouches

We look at fluids and circulation

Even with the same dryness, a person short of fluids and a person whose fluids do not circulate are different. We tell them apart through pulse reading and interview, and consider a herbal prescription accordingly.

Hands administering pharmacopuncture on the back of a hand

Beauty pharmacopuncture

Pharmacopuncture is used alongside it on areas where the texture has grown rough and areas where firmness has dropped. It supports the environment in which what was placed settles in.

After care

Before and after the procedure

Please skip makeup on the day

Putting makeup on before the injection sites have settled is irritating. On the day of the treatment, only wash and moisturize; from the next day you can return to your usual routine.

A hot shower with rising steam

Please avoid hot places

Please hold off on saunas, jjimjilbang, and hot showers for 2-3 days. Redness can last longer.

A glass of clear water

Drink plenty of water

For the moisture that was put in to settle, the inside of the body must not be dry either. Please drink more water than usual before and after the treatment.

FAQ

Common questions

I hear skin boosters are injections and they hurt. Is the pain really bad?

We apply sufficient topical anesthetic so that the burden of pain is eased. With Dermashine Pro, the sensation of the skin being drawn up by negative pressure spreads out the pain of the needle, so it tends to be less painful than injection by hand. If needles feel like a burden, the depth and speed of delivery can be lowered, so please mention it during your consultation.

Do bumpy marks (embossing) or white flaking appear on the face after the treatment?

The bumpy 'embossing' that appears when ingredients are delivered directly with Dermashine is a sign that the active ingredients have entered the dermis, and it is usually absorbed gradually within 1 to 3 days. Remaining highly concentrated hyaluronic acid (HA) may form a thin film on the skin's surface and pill into white flakes. Do not forcibly peel it off; wash your face gently and it will clear naturally.

When do the effects appear, and can I go about daily life?

From 1 week on, once the nutrients that were injected are absorbed, you may feel dryness ease and a soft glow appear. Because of the raised bumps or fine redness, we recommend resting as much as possible on the day itself; from the next day, normal daily life such as washing your face and light makeup is fine.

Laser hair removal

Plucking hair out yourself - how much longer will you irritate your skin?

Physically removing hair every day by shaving or tearing it out with tape can weaken the skin barrier and easily leave tiny injuries. It may eventually cause red folliculitis or ingrown hairs, in which the hair fails to break through the stratum corneum and grows into the skin.

Equipment

GentleMax Pro, approved by the US FDA

Two laser wavelengths, 755 nm and 1,064 nm, act on the follicles in the target area and keep the hair from growing back.

GentleMax ProHair of different thickness and color needs a wavelength matched to the follicle. GentleMax uses two wavelengths, 755 nm and 1064 nm, together with a cooling device to treat the follicle area.

755nm · 1,064nm dual wavelength

Two wavelengths are used separately to match thin, light hair and thick, dark hair, and light and dark skin.

Cooling system

It keeps the epidermis cool and protected just before the laser, easing heat stimulation and the burden of pain.

Size setting

We adjust the laser coverage based on the thickness of the hair and the size of the area. Even a large area can be covered in a short time.

Pores and texture

Along with hair removal, you may expect smaller pores, improved skin texture, and improvement of pigmentation.

Worry

I repeat the same routine every morning

Shaving and plucking never end. In the meantime the skin takes the irritation, and hair comes up again where it was irritated.

You find yourself choosing clothes first

On days when you leave in a hurry you find yourself reaching first for clothes that cover the arms and legs, and the same worry comes around each season.

Mechanism

The reason it does not finish in one session lies in the hair

Lasers work by being absorbed into the dark melanin in the follicle. But only hairs in the growth phase are rich in melanin.

Three hair follicle cross-sections. On the left, the growth phase with a deep, darkly colored root; in the middle, the regression phase with the root moving up and fading; on the right, the resting phase, empty after the hair has fallen out

Anagen

Growth period

The roots are deep and melanin is at its highest.

Telogen phase

Does not reach

<b>That is why sessions are spaced four weeks apart.</b> Hairs that are resting today move into the growth phase next month. Rather than treating every hair at once, the approach follows the cycle and reduces hair in turn. That is why we do not say that one session takes care of everything for good.

Type

It differs by sex

Hair thickness and density differ, so the energy delivered and the number of sessions differ.

Process

Four steps that protect the skin barrier

We look at the nature of the hair first

We look at each patient's different growth cycle, hair thickness, density, and skin tone to set the appropriate laser energy.

The epidermis is cooled first

Just before the laser, the cooling system protects the epidermis with cold, easing heat stimulation and the burden of pain.

It acts on the hair follicle

Energy that passes through the epidermis is guided to act precisely on the melanin pigment in the follicle that produces the hair.

The procedure is not over until the soothing

Soothing care and Korean medicine treatment are added for irritated skin to help prevent folliculitis and support recovery.

Checklist

Are you experiencing this discomfort?

  • Even after shaving every morning, stubble comes up dark by the afternoon and looks untidy.
  • Red inflammation or ingrown hairs often appear where hair was pulled out with tweezers or waxing.
  • Frequent shaving of the underarms or calves has widened the pores and darkened the area.
  • I often cut or scratch my skin shaving in a hurry, and it stings.
  • Aftershave products sting, or redness lingers after shaving.
  • You want to be free from the hassle of hair removal and feel confident any day.

Study

We are always working to improve our care

The directors of Teo Korean Medicine Clinic take turns across the branches and gather in one place to study together. They meet for one thing: so that today's care improves on yesterday's.

We look together

Looking alone and looking together are not the same. We put what has built up in each of our consultation rooms on one table and borrow one another's eyes.

We keep learning

Neither our equipment nor our techniques stand still. We learn both what is newly introduced and what is difficult to handle, and bring them into our care.

It returns to patient care

What we study is used, in the end, in the consultation room. That is why we gather. What you meet as a patient is the result.

Hair and skin differ from person to person, so accumulated experience is needed to set the energy delivered.

After care

Before and after the procedure

A razor and a folded towel

Before you come - please do not pluck

If you come after pulling out hair with waxing or tweezers, the hair root for the laser to act on is gone. Please only shave the day before or on the morning of your visit.

A sunscreen tube and a straw hat

Sun protection

Please apply sunscreen carefully so that the delicate skin after hair removal is not exposed to ultraviolet light and does not darken.

Hands holding a jar of moisturizing cream

Moisturizing cream

Skin that has taken in heat energy can become temporarily dry. Keeping it moist may help prevent itching.

Recommended number of sessions

We recommend at least 10 sessions for men and at least 5 to 10 for women, and the finer the hair, the more sessions tend to be needed.

FAQ

Common questions

Will hair stop growing for good after just one session?

Laser hair removal acts mainly on the follicles of 'anagen' hairs, which are rich in melanin pigment. Body hair goes through an anagen-catagen-telogen cycle, so it is difficult to affect every hair at once. If you receive the procedure steadily at 4-week intervals, at least 5 times, in step with the hair growth cycle, you may expect a more favorable, longer-lasting hair removal result.

Should I let the hair grow before the treatment? Can I pluck it first?

Please avoid waxing or plucking hair with tweezers before your visit. The target the laser needs to reach (the hair root) is gone, so the result of the procedure can be reduced. For the area you want treated, shave lightly with a gentle razor the day before your visit or on the morning of the visit so that the procedure can work as intended.

I hear beard hair removal for men is very painful. Is it all right?

GentleMax Pro's gas cooling system (DCD™) keeps the treated area cool and protected, so the burden of pain is generally low. However, in areas where the hair is thick and dense, such as a man's beard, there is more melanin pigment and the energy reacts strongly, so a stinging sensation can occur. To prepare for this, we carefully apply sufficient anesthetic before the procedure so that you can receive it as comfortably as possible.

Price

Cost guide

This is a non-covered treatment. It is the same at all branches.

This is a procedure for which the number of sessions and the area needed vary greatly with your condition. Much has to be decided after it is seen, so we do not list a price in advance. We will explain it after your consultation.

How is the area for tattoo removal decided

During your consultation, we assess the wavelength and number of sessions needed based on the color and area of the ink and the depth and method of the tattoo.

Ink color and wavelength

Each ink color used in a tattoo responds to a different wavelength. We check whether it is one color or several mixed together, and plan with the wavelength suited to the color in mind.

Tattoo area

A small design and a tattoo that runs across a wide area differ in how much has to be treated. We check the area actually inked and how far the design spreads, and then decide the extent of the work.

Depth of the ink

The steps and the number of sessions needed can differ with the depth at which the ink sits. We do not decide by the color visible on the surface alone, but look at how it was applied.

How it was inked, and sessions

The way the ink went in can differ depending on whether it was amateur work or a tattoo done with professional equipment. It is received over several sessions according to the condition.

Tattoo removal

Removing a tattoo is a far more demanding and precise area of medicine than putting one on.

Ink sits in the dermis, and each color responds to a different wavelength. Trying to remove it all at once damages the skin, and output that does not match the color leaves only a shadow. We look at color and depth and divide the work into sessions.

Mechanism

The process of removal takes three steps

It is not erased the moment the laser touches. One session runs through breaking it up and then the body carrying it out.

Clearance

The body clears it out

It takes several weeks for immune cells to carry away the smaller fragments. That is the reason for spacing out the sessions.

Waiting time

Type

It differs depending on the color

Each color responds to a different wavelength, so the number of sessions needed differs.

Black · Navy

Colors that respond most readily

Red · orange

Colors that need a different wavelength

Green & blue

Colors that need several sessions

Eyebrow & eyeliner tattoos

The skin is thin, so handled with more care

Process

Four stages that separate color and depth

We look at color and depth first

We check which colors are mixed in, how deep the ink sits, and when the tattoo was done. This is what sets the number of sessions needed.

We check it on a small area

Before going ahead in full, we test the settings on a small area and watch the response. We find the line where the skin is not overloaded first.

We divide it by color

Even within a single session, the wavelength and output are changed according to the color. Colors that respond slowly are carried over to the next session.

We also watch over the recovery period

As the treated area closes up, we guide soothing and sun protection so that pigment does not remain, and set the interval to the next session.

Checklist

We recommend this for

  • Those who keep it covered because of work or their schedule
  • Those who stopped partway elsewhere because pigment remained
  • Those whose eyebrow or eyeliner tattoo has changed color
  • Those who want to remove a wide area over several sessions
  • Those who put off starting for fear of leaving a mark
  • For those who plan to have new work done where it was removed

Study

We are always working to improve our care

The directors of Teo Korean Medicine Clinic take turns across the branches and gather in one place to study together. They meet for one thing: so that today's care improves on yesterday's.

We look together

Looking alone and looking together are not the same. We put what has built up in each of our consultation rooms on one table and borrow one another's eyes.

We keep learning

Neither our equipment nor our techniques stand still. We learn both what is newly introduced and what is difficult to handle, and bring them into our care.

It returns to patient care

What we study is used, in the end, in the consultation room. That is why we gather. What you meet as a patient is the result.

Tattoos differ in color and depth, so the answer does not come in one session.

What a Korean medicine clinic can offer

While the treated area recovers

Tattoo removal takes many sessions, and the skin needs a long time to settle between them. Being alongside you through that time is what a Korean medicine clinic can do.

Hands taking a soothing ointment from a jar

Natural soothing ointment

Areas that have received energy easily turn red and sensitive for a time. We prescribe a soothing ointment based on natural extracts, such as Jaungo, to help while it settles.

Hands administering pharmacopuncture on the back of a hand

Anti-inflammatory pharmacopuncture

After covering a wide area, we combine pharmacopuncture that helps manage inflammation so that inflammation does not arise.

Herbal medicine pouches

Recovery herbal medicine

Because the interval between sessions is long, the environment for skin regeneration in between matters. We look at your condition through pulse diagnosis and questioning, and where needed we also consider a herbal medicine prescription.

After care

Before and after the procedure

Two hands resting still on a white towel

Do not pick the scab

Forcing off a scab on the treated area leaves scarring and pigment. Leave it alone until it falls off on its own.

A sunscreen tube and a straw hat

Sun protection

The area where a tattoo was removed is in a state where pigment can rise again easily. Please cover it with clothing or sunscreen and do not let it burn.

A desk calendar with marked dates

Please keep the interval

The body needs time to clear out the broken-up ink. Shortening the intervals to remove it faster puts strain on the skin.

FAQ

Common questions

A large blister formed after the procedure — is this a side effect?

Blisters or scabs that form during tattoo removal are one natural part of recovery. Relatively strong laser energy is delivered to break up ink that has clumped deep in the skin, and blisters can form for a time. These are not lasting scars, so following the ointment we prescribe and proper antiseptic care helps the skin recover cleanly.

How many times do I have to repeat it to remove it cleanly?

The number of sessions varies greatly with the type of tattoo (amateur or professional), the depth and density of the ink, and the color. Residual cosmetic tattoo pigment can fade considerably in about 3 to 5 sessions, while a deep, dense body tattoo may need steady, repeated sessions spaced to the skin's recovery cycle.

How much does removal hurt?

Because the laser reacts strongly to the ink pigment, you may feel a little more heat and stinging than when the tattoo was applied. At Teo Korean Medicine Clinic we carefully apply topical anesthetic cream and cooling care before the procedure, doing all we can to ease the burden of pain for each patient.

We focus on the underlying cause of skin problems

Skin problems such as acne, atopic dermatitis, and facial redness are not simply a matter of injury to the skin, but It occurs or worsens due to internal factors such as heat in the body, immune imbalance, hormonal change, digestive problems, and stress. Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis in particular are complex conditions that readily come with digestive problems, sleep disturbance, psychological anxiety, and autonomic nervous system issues as well as the skin.

Teo Korean Medicine Clinic looks not at the skin itself but
We look at the state of the whole body together.

Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, by cause
The treatment must differ too.

Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are not merely skin problems.

What shows on the skin is only a secondary reaction; the waste produced inside the body and what comes in from outside The root cause is that the body's immune system is disrupted by various kinds of stress and toxins.

Therefore Finding the root cause, clearing toxins from inside the body, and settling immunity is the aim of care for atopic dermatitis and psoriasis is what it should be.

Skin clinic — Therefore, finding the underlying cause, clearing toxins inside the body, and settling immunity should be the aim of treatment for atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Explanatory image
