Skin Texture, Pores, Contours, Botox: How Should You Choose Your Treatment?
Gangnam Choice Clinic sorts common treatments by direction: RE2O, Rejuran, Juvelook and gold microneedling lean toward skin texture and pores, ONDA and US ultrasound lifting toward contours and lifting, and Botox toward the masseter muscles and facial lines. Before choosing, first work out which kind of problem you want to solve.
When you are facing a long list of treatment names, working out which kind of problem you want to solve is more useful than memorising the names. Gangnam Choice Clinic starts by laying out the directions: skin texture and dryness, pores and oiliness, contours and fat, deep lifting — and the treatments that correspond to each do not overlap.
If you want to improve skin texture, dryness and fine lines, which directions can you look at?
RE2O, Rejuran and Juvelook all sit on the skin texture side, but their emphasis is not entirely the same.
- RE2O leans toward improving skin texture, dryness, fine lines and elasticity. It is not a case of the thinner your skin, the more you need it — you still have to look at your current skin condition first.
- Rejuran is more often used for dryness, fine lines, unstable skin condition and overall skin texture. If you are afraid of pain, remember to say so first.
- Juvelook is often asked about by people who want to improve pores, fine lines, skin texture and elasticity. It is not that it is more premium than Rejuran — the directions are not entirely the same.
Pores, oiliness, rough skin texture — what usually comes to mind first?
Gold microneedling is more often placed in this direction. Energy and depth are not a case of the higher the more effective — this is a point the clinic keeps in hand during treatment.
Pigmentation, acne marks, dullness — why do you need to distinguish the type first?
Because the approach depends on which kind of problem it is. Melasma especially — it is not a case of seeing dark patches and just keep lasering.
Where on the face is Botox generally used?
The masseter muscles, forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet may all call for it. But Botox is not a case of the more the better.
Contours and a double chin, and deep lifting — what does each correspond to?
ONDA is more suited to the direction of localised fat, double chin and contours; for a face that is already very thin, the clinic is instead quite conservative. US ultrasound lifting Ulthera leans more toward deeper lifting and contour improvement — what really matters is not 300 shots or 600 shots, but where it needs to be injected and how it is distributed.
As for firmness, elasticity and fine lines, being in your 20s does not mean it is necessarily too early, but it also does not mean that at a certain age you must do it.
