Strengths of Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Genesis Toning Treatment

The results of Genesis Toning treatment can vary depending on how it is performed.

At Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we go beyond simply using equipment; we perform Genesis Toning based on scientific principles and skilled techniques.

1. Treatments are performed with over 2,000 shots.

Genesis Toning is a procedure that delivers thermal energy to the dermal layer to help stimulate collagen production and stabilize blood vessels.

Positive changes can be expected from this treatment when a consistent amount of energy above a certain level is delivered. Therefore, Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic adheres to the principle of using at least 2,000 shots for the procedure.

If fewer than 2,000 shots are used, it can be difficult to deliver sufficient energy to the entire face, and the expected improvement effects may also be limited.

2. We transparently disclose and verify the number of treatment shots.

After the procedure, we go through the process of directly verifying the total number of shots actually used with the patient.

This process is one of the important steps to ensure treatment transparency and help patients understand the density and quality of the energy delivered.

3. We adhere to the minimum fluence (energy intensity) standard.

Genesis Toning works by accumulating heat in the dermal layer. If the energy intensity (fluence) is too low, it can be difficult for sufficient thermal energy to reach the dermal layer, meaning the intended biological responses may barely occur.

Therefore, at Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic, while we delicately adjust the energy considering the patient's skin condition, we adhere to the principle of not performing treatments below the minimum intensity from which changes can be expected.

We pursue treatments that bring about actual changes, rather than merely superficial ones.

4. Treatment Design Customized for Individual Concerns

Prior to the treatment, the head doctor accurately identifies the patient's main areas of concern by examining them together in a mirror. Based on this, an individualized treatment plan is established to induce a thermal response in those areas and meet the expected improvement goals.

For areas with redness or dilated blood vessels, we aim to stabilize the excessive vascular response.

For areas with pores or fine lines, thermal stimulation is applied more intensively through overlapping passes.

For areas showing reduced elasticity, a stacking technique is utilized to efficiently induce a localized response.

5. Skilled Practitioner's Technique

With Genesis Toning, simply moving the handpiece quickly does not easily achieve the desired improvement effects.

At Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we precisely calculate and control all factors, including the speed of handpiece movement, the angle of irradiation, the number of overlapping passes, and the pass interval during treatment.

For sensitive skin areas, energy is delivered quickly and superficially.

For areas with reduced elasticity, slower and repetitive irradiation is applied.

After the initial pass, which only warms the surface, concentrated passes are continued to induce substantial heat accumulation in the dermal layer.

6. Ensuring Sufficient Treatment Time and Energy Density

Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Genesis Toning is not merely a treatment that fills a set number of shots.

Since it includes overlapping passes and energy intensity adjustments tailored to each patient's specific concerns, the actual treatment time typically takes more than 10 minutes.

This is an important aspect that allows you to feel the thoroughness and depth of the treatment.

7. Systematic Pre- and Post-Treatment Management Procedure

Before treatment, we use a Mark-Vu diagnostic device to precisely analyze the patient's skin condition. Following this, through consultation with the head doctor, the target areas for treatment are clearly defined.

During the treatment, the patient's skin thermal response and overall condition are carefully monitored in real-time.

After the procedure, we will show you the treated area directly in a mirror and inform you of the total number of shots used.

We approach every step of the process, from preparation before the procedure to its completion, with care to provide practical assistance to our patients.

Genesis Toning Principle

Genesis Toning uses a long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser that utilizes a 1064nm wavelength. This laser works by repeatedly delivering energy to the dermis, gradually accumulating heat within the skin.

Through this process, the skin receives continuous warm stimulation without sufficient time to cool down. When heat above an optimal level accumulates in the dermis, this stimulation reaches the fibroblasts.

Fibroblasts are important cells that make up the skin and perform the crucial function of producing collagen and elastin.

Collagen adds density to the skin, keeping it firm, and specifically plays a role in supporting enlarged pores.

Elastin is responsible for skin elasticity, helping saggy skin return to its original state.

When the production of these two components is activated, you can expect changes such as pore contraction, reduction of fine wrinkles, and an overall smoother skin texture.

Furthermore, this heat stimulation also affects blood vessels within the dermis.

Rather than directly destroying blood vessels with strong energy, repeated low-temperature thermal stimulation can gradually calm down the excessive reaction of capillaries. This can help improve symptoms such as facial flushing or a feeling of heat in the skin.

Specifically, Genesis Toning can have a positive effect on improving post-inflammatory erythema (PIE), which are red marks left after acne.

PIE is not merely hyperpigmentation, but a symptom that appears due to persistent microvascular dilation and subtle inflammatory reactions within the dermis.

Such symptoms have characteristics that make them difficult to address with general brightening treatments, exfoliation, or one or two sessions of typical vascular lasers alone.

The repeated thermal stimulation from the Genesis laser helps reduce the reactivity of blood vessel walls that cause red marks and inhibits the activity of inflammatory substances like histamine and prostaglandins.

Concurrently, the excessive activity of immune cells within the dermis is gradually stabilized, helping the skin become less sensitive to external stimuli.

Consequently, Genesis Toning can be understood as a treatment approach focused on long-term regulation and soothing of the skin's tendency to flush easily, rather than a procedure that immediately removes red marks.

The procedure can be considered relatively stable for those with sensitive skin or individuals who have experienced hyperpigmentation after strong vascular treatments in the past.

This gradual heat accumulation reaction is called 'Thermal Stacking'. It is an approach that steadily improves the functional structure of the dermis without causing significant irritation or damage to the epidermis.

Expected Benefits of Genesis Toning

Pore Reduction

As collagen production in the dermis is activated, skin elasticity improves, and you can expect a gradual tightening effect on enlarged pores.

Skin Texture Improvement and Fine Wrinkle Reduction

As the skin's internal structure finds balance, fine wrinkles and rough skin texture can become smoother. Makeup adherence may also improve.

Reduction of Flushing and Facial Heat Sensation

By controlling excessive dilation of skin blood vessels and calming subtle inflammatory reactions, it can help alleviate recurrent flushing symptoms.

Improvement of Post-Acne Red Marks (PIE)

Red marks caused by microvascular issues, not hyperpigmentation, can gradually fade due to the laser's thermal stimulation.

Skin Elasticity Restoration

As fibroblasts in the dermis are activated, skin density improves, and you can expect an overall improvement in elasticity.

Skin Tone Improvement and Radiance Restoration

When circulation in the dermis improves, dull skin tone can brighten, and a healthy, natural glow can be restored.

Who is Genesis Toning Recommended For?

Individuals with noticeably enlarged pores or decreased skin elasticity.

Individuals with sensitive skin that easily flushes due to emotional changes or external temperature fluctuations.

Individuals who have persistent red marks long after their acne has subsided.

Individuals with uneven skin texture and prominent fine wrinkles.

Individuals who prefer not to undergo strong stimulating procedures and wish to improve their skin gently and comfortably.

Individuals looking for a low-irritation laser that can be combined with other treatments like skin boosters.

Recommended Frequency for Genesis Toning

Genesis toning is a treatment that can be received without a separate recovery period. It has the advantage of putting less strain on the skin, even with short treatment cycles.

General Recommended Cycle

We generally recommend more than 10 sessions, typically at 1-2 week intervals, as the initial intensive management course.

Customized Treatment Cycles for Specific Skin Concerns

• Pore and Fine Line Improvement → 10 sessions at 1-week intervals

• Redness and PIE (Post-Inflammatory Erythema) → 10 sessions at 1-2 week intervals

• Skin Tone Improvement → 10 sessions at 1-2 week intervals

Maintenance

After the initial intensive management course is completed, it is advisable to continue regular maintenance treatments every 2-3 weeks to continuously support the stable state of collagen and blood vessels.

How much pain is involved with Genesis Toning treatment?

Genesis toning is generally considered a treatment with low pain discomfort.

However, if you feel no sensation during the treatment, it's possible that sufficient thermal energy has not been delivered to the dermal layer.

For effective thermal delivery to the dermal layer, you may feel a subtle warming sensation within the skin during the treatment, or a slightly hot sensation in specific areas. These sensations are necessary to confirm that sufficient heat has accumulated in the dermal layer.

Genesis Toning Treatment Process

• Precise Diagnosis and Consultation > After accurately assessing the current skin condition using skin analysis equipment, the director consults directly with the patient to set treatment goals.
• Reconfirming Concern Areas > Immediately before the treatment, we review the areas of focus with the patient in a mirror and finalize the treatment plan.
• Customized Treatment > The treatment is performed by carefully adjusting the number of laser stacking, passes, and energy intensity according to the characteristics of the patient's concern areas.
• Post-Treatment Confirmation and Shot Count Check > After the treatment is completed, we collectively confirm the changes in the mirror and inform you of the total number of shots used during the actual treatment.

Director's Treatment Philosophy

We believe that for effective treatment, a harmonious balance between appropriate treatment volume and delicate technique is crucial.

Genesis toning treatment goes beyond simply performing the procedure; it can only lead to meaningful results when a sufficient number of shots, appropriate intensity tailored to the patient, and precise area targeting are achieved.

We consider these principles important and strive to implement them in all treatment processes.

Rather than simply following predetermined procedures, we will do our best to provide treatments that offer genuine benefit to each individual.
