We look at recurring dryness and rough texture to decide on ingredients, application method, and treatment interval.
Skin boosters— before choosing one, we first look at your skin condition. Some people feel tight even after moisturizing, look shiny on the surface but feel dry underneath, or find their skin texture keeps getting rough. I see these concerns as issues that call for examining the skin's condition rather than chasing a temporary glow. At Cheong-dam, we check how dryness, oiliness, and sensitivity appear together, and also look at how your skin responded to previous treatments. Based on this, we decide which booster to use and how to apply it, such as with laser or ultrasound. We also adjust the type and interval of the next treatment while watching how your skin responds after the procedure.
Who decides the ingredients?
The doctor chooses after examining your skin. Even if you describe the same dryness, the approach differs depending on whether your skin is red and sensitive, or whether oiliness and rough texture are also concerns. We explain the product and ingredients, the expected changes, and precautions before treatment. You don't need to memorize product names before coming.
We start by checking whether your skin feels tight even with a moisturizing cream, whether flaking occurs despite oiliness, or whether it stings whenever you change cosmetics. We look at dryness, oiliness, texture, and sensitivity together, and if you currently have a skin condition or inflammation, we also decide whether care for that is needed first.
We use caviar-derived PDRN. For dry, rough skin, it can be applied using Er:YAG laser and ultrasound, and we adjust the interval according to sensitivity and post-procedure response.
The doctor assesses texture, fine lines, and reduced elasticity to decide whether it is appropriate. We explain the product and treatment goal and proceed according to your skin condition. After application, we continue with ultrasound care and finish according to the ingredient.
Chosen after assessing shininess, rough texture, and inner dryness. If there is redness or inflammatory lesions, we check whether care for those is needed first. The doctor explains the product and method and adjusts according to your skin's response after the procedure.
We plan the booster and application method according to dryness, elasticity, and sensitivity. If treatment other than laser or ultrasound is needed, we explain it separately. Please tell us during the consultation about any recent procedures or allergies to specific ingredients.
After cleansing and checking your skin, we create microscopic channels with the laser.
We apply the booster chosen for your current skin condition.
We continue with ultrasound care and finish according to the chosen ingredient and your skin's response.
The process above describes the laser and ultrasound booster program. It is distinct from injecting directly into multiple areas with a needle. If a different application method is needed depending on your skin condition and the chosen product, we first explain the process and how recovery differs.
We do not apply the same schedule to every booster. The doctor sets the interval according to the product, application method, and how your skin is recovering.
We use Therapeel to address dead skin, blackheads, and debris around the pores. If your skin is sensitive or red, we adjust the application time or whether to proceed. Whether it should be combined with a booster is decided after checking your skin condition.
Depending on your skin condition, we plan it as a standalone treatment or combined with a booster.
For any other questions, please ask when booking your visit.
No, you don't. Tell us what bothers you most: inner dryness, shininess, rough texture, or fine lines. The doctor will assess your skin condition and response to previous procedures and explain which booster and method to use.
The basic process described on this page uses an Er:YAG laser to create microscopic channels, applies the booster, and follows up with ultrasound care. It is different from injecting directly into multiple areas with a needle. If a separate injection or MTS method is needed, we first explain why and what the recovery involves.
The laser and ultrasound method is performed without injecting directly into multiple areas. However, you may feel a prickling sensation or warmth during laser irradiation, and the sensation varies with how sensitive your skin is. If you feel any discomfort, please tell us right away. We proceed while watching your skin's response.
Please avoid makeup as much as possible right after the procedure and minimize skin irritation. It is best to avoid layering multiple products or rubbing hard on skin prepared with the laser. We will advise when you can resume makeup based on the method used and the degree of redness and stinging. If you have plans that require makeup on the same day, please let us know in advance.
You may continue with the booster first chosen, but not always. After checking how dryness and texture have changed and whether there was redness or irritation, we decide whether to continue the same treatment or change the type or interval.
You can consult about tightness and inner dryness that remain after moisturizing, rough texture with oiliness, fine lines, and reduced elasticity. If your skin flushes easily or reacts sensitively to cosmetics, please tell us that as well. If you have inflammation or a skin condition, we check whether care for that issue is needed first.
No. We choose the product by looking at your skin's dryness, oiliness, elasticity, and sensitivity together. If you have ever had an allergy or severe irritation after cosmetics, medications, or injection procedures, please be sure to tell us. We explain the product to be used, the application method, and precautions before the procedure.
For Cheong-dam's laser-based skin booster, we advise avoiding face washing on the day of the procedure and mainly washing with water only the next morning. After that, please continue to avoid rubbing hard or using scrubs or peeling products. If you received other procedures at the same time or skin irritation remains, follow the separate care instructions we gave you first.
The laser and ultrasound method differs from injection methods, which create raised bumps by injecting directly into many spots on the skin. However, depending on your skin, temporary redness, stinging, or swelling may appear. If you also received a separate injection procedure, injection marks and bruising may occur, and we will advise you separately. If reactions worsen or last a long time, please contact the clinic.
Some changes, like moisture, are felt relatively early, while others, like texture and fine lines, need to be followed over time. Rather than judging only by how your skin feels right after the procedure, we check together how dryness and texture change. When you notice changes and how many sessions you need vary depending on the product, application method, and your original skin condition.
It varies depending on the booster used, the application method, the treatment area such as the face or neck, and any care received at the same time. Please tell us your main skin concern and the areas you want treated. After the examination, we explain the product, treatment composition, and cost per session before the procedure.
Tell us whether your skin feels tight even after moisturizing, or rough and sensitive despite being oily. We assess your skin condition and advise on the booster and treatment method.
