Genesis Toning - The Subtle Difference in Results

How Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic Performs Genesis Toning

• 1. Standard Treatment Criteria: Over 3,000 Shots > To achieve improvement across the entire face, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic sets its treatment standard at over 3,000 shots.
• 2. Transparent Verification of Shot Count > After the treatment, we directly confirm the total number of shots actually used with the patient. This is an effort to ensure transparency in the treatment process.
• 3. Maintaining Appropriate Fluence (Energy Intensity) > We adhere to a consistent minimum energy intensity to ensure sufficient heat is delivered to the dermis. This is because desired improvements may be difficult to achieve with insufficient intensity.
• 4. Customized Treatment for Individual Concerns > We apply customized treatment patterns and stacking (overlapping irradiation) techniques based on the patient's main concerns such as pores, redness, and elasticity.
• 5. Technique Based on Treatment Know-how > We meticulously adjust the handpiece's movement speed, irradiation direction, and number of overlaps to ensure that the necessary thermal energy is evenly delivered to the skin.
• 6. Sufficient Treatment Time and Dense Irradiation > We ensure ample treatment time through personalized design and overlapping irradiation. This is to deliver higher density energy to the skin.
• 7. Systematic Pre and Post-Treatment Management > From skin diagnosis to post-treatment verification, we follow systematic, step-by-step procedures.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's In-Depth Approach to Genesis Toning

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

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we go beyond simply operating the equipment; we aim for treatments that understand and apply the technical principles of Genesis Toning.

1. Standard Treatment of Over 3,000 Shots

Genesis treatment delivers thermal energy to the dermis, which can help stimulate collagen production and stabilize dilated blood vessels.

To expect sufficient improvement, a consistent delivery of a certain amount of energy is necessary. Therefore, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic adheres to a basic principle of over 3,000 shots per treatment.

If fewer than 2,000 shots are administered, it may be difficult to sufficiently cover the entire face, and the expected improvements may be limited.

2. Transparent Verification of Treatment Shot Count

After the treatment, we directly confirm the total number of shots actually used with the patient.

This process is one of our efforts to enhance treatment reliability and assure you about the amount and density of energy used.

3. Adherence to Appropriate Fluence (Energy Intensity) Standards

Genesis Toning works by accumulating thermal energy in the skin's dermal layer. If the energy intensity (fluence) is too low, insufficient energy may reach the dermis, making it difficult to achieve the desired effects.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we adjust the energy considering the patient's skin condition, but we do not perform treatments below the minimum intensity required to expect meaningful improvement.

Rather than simply completing the required number of sessions, we focus on methods that can bring about actual change.

4. Personalized Design for Individual Concern Areas

Before the treatment, the director personally identifies the patient's skin concerns while looking in a mirror together. Based on this, a customized treatment plan is created to match the potential for thermal response and improvement goals.

Areas with redness or dilated blood vessels: Can help calm dilated vascular reactions.

Pores, fine lines areas: Concentrated thermal stimulation can be applied through overlapping irradiation.

Areas with reduced elasticity: Stacking (overlapping treatment) can induce a response in these areas.

5. Medical Staff's Treatment Technique Proficiency

With Genesis Toning, simply moving the handpiece quickly and lightly may not be enough to achieve sufficient improvement.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we perform treatments with meticulous consideration of the handpiece's movement speed, irradiation angle, number of overlaps, and even the pass interval.

For sensitive areas, we approach quickly and lightly,

For areas with reduced elasticity, we apply slower and repeated irradiation.

After the first pass, which gently warms the skin surface, we continue with concentrated irradiation to effectively accumulate thermal energy in the dermis.

6. Ensuring Treatment Time and Energy Density

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Genesis Toning goes beyond simply completing a set number of shots.

Since it includes overlapping irradiation tailored to concern areas and meticulous energy adjustment, the actual treatment time exceeds 10 minutes.

This thorough approach to treatment can be why patients feel they have received a sufficiently timed and attentive procedure.

7. Systematic Pre and Post-Treatment Procedures

Before treatment: We precisely analyze the skin condition with Mark-Vu diagnostic equipment and set treatment goals through consultation with the director.

During treatment: We proceed while real-time monitoring the skin's thermal response and the patient's skin changes during the procedure.

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

From before to after the procedure, every step is carefully performed to be a meaningful process for the patient.

How Genesis Toning Works

Genesis Toning is a procedure that uses a 1064nm long-pulse Nd:YAG laser to gradually deliver and accumulate heat energy in the dermis.

The skin cannot quickly dissipate heat and continuously absorbs warmth. When enough heat accumulates in this way, fibroblasts in the dermis are activated.

Fibroblasts are important cells that make up skin tissue and play a role in helping to produce collagen and elastin.

Collagen provides a firm density to the skin, contributing to strengthening the elasticity of the tissue around pores.

Elastin is responsible for the skin's flexibility, helping sagging or loose skin maintain a healthy state again.

Through the active production of collagen and elastin, you can expect improvements such as pore contraction, reduction of fine wrinkles, and smoother skin texture.

This thermal stimulation also affects blood vessels in the dermis.

Rather than directly damaging blood vessels, repeated low thermal stimulation can gradually stabilize the hypersensitivity of capillaries. This can help alleviate symptoms such as flushing and skin heat.

Especially for the improvement of post-acne red marks (PIE), Genesis Toning can be an effective procedure.

PIE is not just hyperpigmentation, but rather results from the persistent dilation of microvessels within the dermis and localized inflammatory reactions.

This is a condition that is difficult to address with general whitening care, exfoliation, or a single vascular laser procedure alone.

The repetitive thermal stimulation of Genesis Toning can help reduce the excessive reaction of blood vessel walls in the affected area and decrease the activity of inflammatory substances.

Additionally, it can gradually stabilize the excessive activity of immune cells within the dermis, helping the skin return to a state where it reacts less sensitively to external stimuli.

Therefore, it is best to understand Genesis Toning not as a method that immediately removes red marks, but as a treatment approach that gradually regulates and calms a skin tendency to redden.

It is also a relatively low-burden procedure that can be considered by those with sensitive skin or those who have experienced hyperpigmentation after high-intensity vascular procedures.

This phenomenon of heat gradually accumulating in the skin is called 'thermal stacking.' It is a method that progressively makes the function and structure of the dermis healthy without irritating or damaging the epidermis.

Expected Changes with Genesis Toning

Pore Contraction

Collagen production in the dermis is promoted, improving skin elasticity, and thereby you can expect the effect of sagging pores gradually contracting.

Improvement in Skin Texture and Fine Wrinkles

As the overall structure of the skin becomes healthier, fine wrinkles and rough skin texture can soften, and it can help makeup apply better.

Soothing Redness and Facial Heat Sensation

By regulating excessive vascular reactivity and calming micro-inflammation within the skin, it can contribute to soothing recurrent flushing symptoms.

Improvement of Post-Acne Red Marks (PIE)

Unlike hyperpigmentation, red marks caused by microvessel dilation can be expected to gradually fade due to continuous thermal stimulation.

Enhanced Skin Elasticity

As fibroblasts in the dermis are activated, the skin's internal density improves, and overall elasticity can be restored.

Skin Tone Equalization and Healthy Radiance

When blood circulation in the dermis improves, dull skin tone becomes brighter, and the skin's natural radiance can be restored.

Genesis Toning may be considered for those who:

Have visible enlarged pores and reduced skin elasticity

Have sensitive skin that easily reddens with emotional changes or temperature differences

Have persistent red marks that do not fade long after acne has cleared

Have uneven skin texture and visible fine wrinkles

Desire overall skin recovery through a gentle procedure rather than one with strong stimulation

Are looking for a low-burden laser treatment that is also suitable for combination with other procedures like skin boosters

Recommended Treatment Cycle for Genesis Toning

Genesis Toning requires no separate recovery time, minimizing disruption to daily life. It is also well-suited for repeated treatments at relatively short intervals.

Recommended Treatment Cycle

For the initial treatment cycle, we generally recommend 10 or more sessions at 1-2 week intervals.

Cycle Based on Individual Skin Concerns

• For pore and fine wrinkle management, 10 sessions at 1-week intervals may be considered.

• For the improvement of redness and post-inflammatory erythema (PIE), 10 sessions at 1-2 week intervals are suggested.

• For skin tone equalization and overall improvement, 10 sessions at 1-2 week intervals can be performed.

Maintenance

After completing the initial treatment course, consistent management at 2-3 week intervals can help stably maintain collagen formation and blood vessel health.

How painful is Genesis Toning?

Genesis Toning is known to cause little pain in most cases.

If no sensation is felt during the treatment, it's possible that sufficient thermal energy is not being delivered to the target dermal layer.

For treatment efficacy, a warm sensation beneath the skin is necessary, and occasionally, some areas might feel slightly hot. This level of sensation is required for proper heat delivery to the dermis, which activates collagen and other beneficial processes.

Genesis Toning, Clinic Treatment Process

• Precise Diagnosis and Consultation > First, we thoroughly assess the patient's current skin condition using skin analysis equipment. Subsequently, our medical staff provides a comprehensive consultation to establish the treatment goals and direction.
• Concern Area Confirmation > Immediately before the treatment, we review the areas requiring treatment with the patient in front of a mirror. This refines the final treatment plan.
• Customized Treatment > We carefully adjust the stacking method, number of passes, energy intensity, and other factors, taking into account the specific characteristics of each patient's concern areas, to perform the treatment.
• Post-Treatment Result Verification and Shot Count Check > After the treatment, we jointly review the changes in the mirror. We also transparently inform you of the total number of shots actually used.

Our Medical Team's Philosophy

The efficacy of a treatment can be further enhanced when accompanied by the medical team's meticulous care, in addition to the prescribed amount.

To achieve desired results in Genesis Toning treatment, a sufficient number of shots, appropriate intensity tailored to the patient's skin, and precise targeting of the treatment area are crucial.

At our clinic, we strive to rigorously adhere to these treatment standards every time.

We will always do our best to provide treatments that offer genuine benefit to our patients, rather than just routine procedures.
