Multiple Skin Concerns, One Solution [Genesis Toning]

Here's Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's approach to Genesis Toning treatments.

• To ensure sufficient energy delivery across the entire face and achieve desired treatment effects, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic generally performs Genesis Toning with a minimum of 2,000 shots.
• After the treatment, we verify the total number of shots used with the patient. This helps enhance the transparency of the treatment process.
• Low-intensity treatments may make it 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 tailor the treatment plan to each patient's specific skin concerns. Depending on particular issues such as pores, redness, or loss of elasticity, we apply appropriate patterns and stacking methods for the treatment.
• 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 during the treatment.
• 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 receiving their treatments.

Factors Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic Considers During Genesis Toning Treatment.

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

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we plan and conduct Genesis Toning treatments based on a thorough understanding of the device's principles and technology.

1. Sufficient Shot Count of 2,000 or More

Genesis treatment is a procedure that delivers thermal energy to the dermis, helping to promote collagen production and stabilize blood vessels.

Therefore, treatment effects can only be expected if sufficient energy is repeatedly delivered. At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we follow the principle of applying a minimum of 2,000 shots for this purpose.

A shot count of less than 2,000 may make it difficult to cover the entire face, and the expected treatment results may 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 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 through the accumulation of thermal energy, if the fluence is too low, the energy may not adequately reach the dermis, making it difficult to achieve the desired biological response.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we adjust the energy considering the patient's skin condition. However, it is our principle not to perform the treatment below the minimum intensity from which treatment effects can be expected.

We strive to focus on tangible results, ensuring that the treatment is not merely a perfunctory procedure.

4. Customized Treatment Design for Individual Problem Areas

Before treatment, the director reviews the patient's skin condition with them in a mirror and develops a customized treatment plan focusing on their main concerns. The treatment is designed considering the potential for thermal response and desired 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 of concern regarding 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 make it difficult to achieve desired treatment results.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we carefully adjust the handpiece's speed, irradiation angle, number of overlapping passes, and pass intervals during the treatment.

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

For areas of concern regarding loss of elasticity, we apply slower and more repetitive passes.

After a primary pass that only warms the skin surface, subsequent passes from the second pass onwards focus on accumulating heat in the actual dermis.

6. Ensuring Sufficient Treatment Time and Considering Energy Delivery Density

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Genesis Toning goes beyond simply meeting a set shot count; we emphasize the density of the treatment.

Since we perform overlapping passes and adjust energy intensity according to each patient's concern areas, the actual treatment time may exceed 10 minutes.

This is a point where you can feel that sufficient energy is being delivered throughout the treatment process.

7. Systematic Process Before and After Treatment

Before treatment, we analyze your skin condition using Mark-Vu diagnostic equipment. Afterward, we have a consultation with the director to clearly establish the treatment goals.

During the treatment, we observe the patient's skin reactions and thermal responses in real-time.

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

We approach every step of your care, from pre-treatment preparation to post-treatment management, 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 accumulate gradually.

As the skin receives continuous warm stimulation, it effectively accumulates heat. Once sufficient heat has built up, fibroblasts in the dermal layer can be activated.

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

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

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

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

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

Rather than directly destroying blood vessels, this procedure gradually stabilizes the responsiveness of capillaries through repeated mild thermal stimulation. This can help to soothe symptoms such as facial redness or a feeling of warmth.

Genesis Toning can be particularly effective in improving post-inflammatory erythema (PIE), the red marks left after acne.

PIE is not simply hyperpigmentation, but a phenomenon caused by persistent dilation of micro-vessels within the dermis and a subtle inflammatory response.

Such PIE is often difficult to resolve with general brightening treatments, exfoliation, or just one or two vascular laser procedures.

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

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

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

This treatment can also be considered a relatively comfortable option for individuals with sensitive skin or those who have experienced hyperpigmentation due to previous high-power vascular procedures.

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

Expected Effects of Genesis Toning

Pore Reduction

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

Improved Skin Texture and Reduced Fine Lines

As the skin's internal structure is refined, shallow wrinkles and rough skin texture can become smoother. You may also experience improved makeup adherence. Results may vary by individual.

Reduced Redness and Facial Warmth

By regulating excessive vascular dilation and soothing subtle inflammatory reactions, it can help alleviate recurring symptoms of facial redness. This may manifest differently for each individual.

Improvement of Post-Acne Red Marks (PIE)

Red marks caused by microvascular dilation, rather than pigmentary lesions, can gradually fade due to thermal stimulation. Results are subject to individual variation.

Restored Skin Elasticity

When fibroblasts in the dermal layer are stimulated, skin density increases, and you can expect an improvement in overall skin tension. Treatment effects may vary by individual.

Improved Skin Tone and Restored Radiance

As blood circulation in the dermis improves, dull skin tone can become clearer, revealing a healthy and natural glow. This varies by individual.

Recommended for Genesis Toning

Individuals with enlarged pores and reduced skin elasticity

Those with sensitive skin whose face easily reddens due to emotional changes or temperature stimulation

Individuals whose red marks persist long after acne

Those concerned about uneven skin texture and fine lines

Those who find strong treatments overwhelming but desire gentle skin recovery

Those seeking 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 your daily life immediately after the procedure, and it is less burdensome to perform multiple times at relatively short intervals.

Recommended Treatment Interval

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

Customized Intervals for Specific Skin Concerns

• For improving pores and fine lines, 10 sessions are generally recommended at 1-week intervals.

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

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

Maintenance for Sustaining Treatment Effects

After completing the primary treatment cycle, you can consistently maintain the effects of collagen regeneration and vascular stabilization by receiving regular treatments at 2- to 3-week intervals.

Is Genesis Toning treatment painful?

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

However, if you don't feel any sensation during the treatment, it's possible that the necessary thermal energy has not adequately reached the dermal layer.

For the treatment to be effective, you should feel a warmth within your skin during the procedure, or a hot sensation in some areas. This indicates that heat is accumulating in the dermal layer and working properly.
