Multiple skin concerns, all at once [Genesis Toning]

Here's how Keut Korean Medicine Clinic approaches Genesis Toning treatments.

• To ensure sufficient energy delivery across the entire face and achieve desired treatment effects, Keut Korean Medicine Clinic generally performs Genesis Toning with 2,000 shots or more.
• After the treatment, we verify the total number of shots used with the patient. This helps enhance the transparency of the treatment process.
• With low-intensity treatments, it can be difficult to deliver adequate thermal energy to the dermis. We perform treatments based on the minimum energy intensity required for heat to sufficiently reach the dermis.
• We plan treatments tailored to each patient's unique skin concerns. We apply appropriate patterns and stacking methods depending on specific issues such as pores, redness, or loss of elasticity.
• During Genesis Toning, the movement of the handpiece is crucial. We carefully adjust the speed, direction, and number of overlapping passes to ensure effective heat accumulation.
• Since treatments are designed for each patient and involve overlapping passes, we allocate sufficient time for the procedure. Through this, we strive to deliver appropriate energy to the skin.
• We follow a systematic process from pre-treatment diagnosis to post-treatment verification. These procedures help patients feel comfortable during their treatment.

Considerations for Genesis Toning at Keut Korean Medicine Clinic.

The results of Genesis Toning can vary depending on the treatment method.

At Keut Korean Medicine Clinic, we plan and perform treatments based on a thorough understanding of the principles and technology of the Genesis Toning device.

1. Sufficient number of shots: 2,000 or more

Genesis treatment delivers thermal energy to the dermis, helping to stimulate collagen production and stabilize blood vessels.

Therefore, consistent delivery of sufficient energy is essential to achieve desired treatment effects. At Keut Korean Medicine Clinic, we adhere to the principle of applying 2,000 shots or more as a baseline.

A shot count of less than 2,000 may make it difficult to cover the entire face, and the expected treatment results could also be limited.

2. Disclosure and verification of total shot count after treatment

After the treatment is completed, we take time to personally verify the total number of shots used with the patient.

This process is one of the steps taken to ensure treatment transparency and share the appropriateness of the energy used with the patient.

3. Maintaining appropriate fluence (energy intensity) standards

Since Genesis Toning works by accumulating thermal energy, if the fluence is too low, the energy may not properly reach the dermis, making it difficult to achieve the desired biological responses.

At Keut Korean Medicine Clinic, we adjust the energy considering the patient's skin condition. However, it is our policy not to perform treatments below the minimum intensity required to achieve expected results.

We focus on tangible results, striving to ensure the treatment is more than just a simple procedure.

4. Customized treatment design for individual concerns

Before treatment, the doctor examines the patient's skin condition with them in a mirror and develops a customized treatment plan, focusing on primary concerns. The treatment is designed considering the potential for thermal response and anticipated improvement goals.

For areas with redness or dilated blood vessels, the treatment is directed towards stabilizing the dilated vascular response.

For areas with pores or fine lines, thermal stimulation can be enhanced through overlapping passes.

For areas with concerns about loss of elasticity, a stacking method is applied to concentrate the thermal response locally.

5. Delicate techniques applied during treatment

With Genesis Toning, simply moving the handpiece quickly may not achieve the desired treatment results.

At Keut Korean Medicine Clinic, we meticulously adjust the handpiece speed, irradiation angle, number of overlapping passes, and pass intervals during treatment.

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

For areas with concerns about loss of elasticity, slower and repetitive irradiation is applied.

After the initial pass, which primarily warms the skin surface, subsequent passes are focused on accumulating heat specifically within the dermis.

6. Ensuring sufficient treatment time and considering energy delivery density

Keut Korean Medicine Clinic's Genesis Toning goes beyond simply reaching a set number of shots; we prioritize the density of the treatment.

Since overlapping passes are performed and energy intensity is adjusted according to each patient's concern areas, the actual treatment time may exceed 10 minutes.

This allows patients to perceive that sufficient energy is being delivered throughout the treatment process.

7. Systematic pre- and post-treatment process

Before treatment, we analyze the skin condition using a Mark-Vu diagnostic device. Afterward, we consult with the doctor to clearly establish the treatment goals.

During the treatment, we monitor the patient's skin response and thermal reaction in real-time.

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

From the pre-procedure phase to post-procedure care, we approach every step of treatment with meticulous standards and dedication.

Genesis Toning Principle

Genesis Toning utilizes a 1064nm quasi-long pulse Nd:YAG laser. This laser works by repeatedly delivering heat to the dermal layer, allowing it to gradually accumulate.

The skin effectively accumulates heat through continuous warm stimulation. When sufficient heat has built up, the fibroblasts in the dermal layer can be activated.

Fibroblasts, which play a crucial role in the production of collagen and elastin, are key components of skin tissue.

Collagen provides firmness and density to the skin, helping to support and tighten the areas around the pores.

Elastin is responsible for the skin's flexibility, helping sagging skin return to its original state.

When the production of these two components is stimulated, pores can contract, fine lines can improve, and skin texture can become smoother. Treatment results may vary by individual.

The generated thermal stimulation also affects the blood vessels within the dermis.

Rather than directly destroying blood vessels, this procedure can gradually stabilize the responsiveness of capillaries through repeated mild thermal stimulation. This can help soothe symptoms such as facial flushing or a sensation of heat on the face.

Genesis Toning can be particularly effective in improving red marks (PIE) that remain after acne.

PIE is not simply hyperpigmentation; it is caused by persistent dilation of microvessels and subtle inflammatory reactions within the dermis.

Such PIE is often difficult to resolve with typical brightening care, exfoliation, or even one or two vascular laser treatments.

The repetitive thermal stimulation of Genesis Toning can help reduce the hypersensitive reaction of blood vessel walls in the affected area and suppress the activity of inflammatory mediators such as histamine and prostaglandins.

Concurrently, the excessive reaction of immune cells within the dermis also gradually stabilizes, helping the skin react less sensitively to external stimuli.

Therefore, it is best to understand Genesis Toning not as a procedure that immediately removes red marks, but as an approach that gradually adjusts and soothes the skin's predisposition to redness.

This procedure can also be considered a relatively comfortable option for individuals with sensitive skin or those who have experienced hyperpigmentation from strong vascular treatments in the past.

This method of heat accumulation is referred to as 'Thermal Stacking.' It is one way to continuously improve the functional structure of the dermis without causing significant irritation or damage to the epidermal layer.

Expected Benefits of Genesis Toning

Pore Reduction

As new collagen forms in the dermal layer, skin elasticity improves, leading to a gradual reduction in enlarged pores. Results may vary by individual.

Improved Skin Texture and Reduced Fine Lines

As the internal structure of the skin is refined, fine wrinkles and rough skin texture can become smoother. You may also experience better adherence of makeup. Individual results may vary.

Reduced Flushing and Facial Heat Sensation

By regulating excessive vascular dilation and soothing subtle inflammatory responses, this treatment can help alleviate recurrent flushing symptoms. This may manifest differently in each individual.

Improvement of Post-Acne Red Marks (PIE)

Red marks caused by microvascular dilation, rather than pigmentary lesions, can be expected to gradually lighten due to thermal stimulation. Results will vary by individual.

Restored Skin Elasticity

When fibroblasts in the dermal layer are stimulated, skin density increases, and overall skin tension is expected to improve. The effects of the procedure may vary from person to person.

Improved Skin Tone and Restored Radiance

As blood circulation in the dermis becomes smoother, dull skin tone can brighten, and a healthy, natural radiance may appear. This is subject to individual variation.

Who is Genesis Toning Recommended For?

Individuals with enlarged pores and reduced skin elasticity

Individuals with sensitive skin that easily flushes with emotional changes or temperature stimulation

Individuals with red marks that persist for a long time after acne

Individuals concerned about uneven skin texture and fine lines

Individuals who find strong treatments burdensome but desire gentle skin recovery

Individuals looking for a treatment that can be combined with other procedures, such as skin boosters

Recommended Frequency for Genesis Toning

Genesis Toning is a procedure that does not require a special recovery period. Therefore, you can return to daily life immediately after the procedure, and it is relatively less burdensome to undergo multiple sessions with short intervals.

Recommended Treatment Intervals

Typically, we recommend undergoing the primary treatment course 10 or more times, every 1-2 weeks.

Customized Intervals for Specific Skin Concerns

• For pore and fine line improvement, 10 sessions are generally recommended at 1-week intervals.

• For the management of redness and PIE (Post-Inflammatory Erythema), we suggest 10 sessions at 1-2 week intervals.

• When aiming for overall skin tone improvement, 10 sessions at 1-2 week intervals can be considered.

Maintenance for Sustaining Treatment Effects

After completing the primary treatment cycle, consistent sessions every 2-3 weeks can help continuously manage collagen regeneration and blood vessel stabilization effects.

Is Genesis Toning painful?

Genesis Toning is known to be a procedure with less pain compared to other treatments.

However, if no sensation is felt during the procedure, it's possible that the necessary thermal energy is not properly reaching the dermal layer.

For the treatment to be effective, a sensation of warmth beneath the skin, or in some areas, a feeling of heat, indicates that heat is accumulating in the dermal layer and working properly.
