Apgujeong Luna Clinic Ruby Laser Review, Honest Review of My Younger Sibling's Blemish Removal 2 Weeks Later

My younger sibling has been very worried about facial blemishes for a long time.

 

       

My skin itself is naturally good, but I was told that it doesn't look clear overall because of the small blemishes around my cheekbones and on my cheeks. I was stressed because the blemishes weren't completely covered even with makeup, and I had been thinking that I definitely needed to get them removed someday.

 

I happened to have some free time after quitting my job and before moving to a new one, so I decided to take this opportunity to get a ruby ​​laser treatment.

 

While researching ruby ​​lasers, the first place my younger sibling looked up was Luna Clinic in Apgujeong, which is famous for ruby ​​lasers. After comparing several clinics, my sibling booked via KakaoTalk because the reviews were good and they wanted to get a consultation; surprisingly, they were able to book a spot on their desired date much faster than expected.

 

It happened to be my day off on the day of the appointment, so I went to the hospital with my younger sibling.

 

 

■ Consultation and Procedure Day

 

After arriving at the hospital and washing my face, I immediately proceeded with a consultation with the director. I watched the consultation from the side, and personally, that was when I felt the most trust.

 

Instead of unconditionally stating that all blemishes would disappear, they honestly told me that after checking my current skin condition, about 80% improvement is expected, but the remaining areas might actually become slightly darker. Since they explained this in advance, it actually built my trust.

 

My younger sibling had also been thinking about and deciding on this procedure for a long time, so we decided to proceed after listening to the full explanation.

 

The procedure cost is 363,000 won including VAT. I inquired at a few other hospitals before visiting, and the prices were mostly similar. In the end, I decided on this place based on the fact that it is famous for ruby ​​lasers, the trust I felt during the consultation, and reviews.

 

I applied numbing cream all over my face and waited for about 20 minutes before the procedure began. My younger sibling told me that they performed about 350 shots.

 

When I heard stories from people around me who had received Ruby Laser treatment, some said they received over 800 shots, so at first, I felt like the number of shots was fewer than I expected. It seems like it varies depending on the extent of blemishes and the condition of the skin.

They said the pain was better than expected. Even though my younger sibling is sensitive to pain, they said it was just a stinging sensation and quite bearable.

 

Immediately after the procedure, my entire face turned quite red, which surprised even me watching from the side. After soothing it with an ice pack, I returned home wearing a mask, hat, and sunglasses to minimize exposure to UV rays.

 

 

■ Progress by Date After Procedure

 

★ Day 2 ★

Scabs started forming on my face. The areas with blemishes actually looked darker than right after the procedure. At first, I wondered if I was doing it right, but I decided to consider it part of the recovery process and tried not to touch them as much as possible.

 

★ Day 3 ★

The flushing that I had felt slightly starting on the second day got a bit worse. I also felt a sensation of heat on my face, and the redness seemed to be lasting longer than expected, so my younger sibling was a little worried as well.

 

★ 6 First day ★

Fortunately, the redness and heat sensation have subsided significantly. They said they rubbed as gently as possible when washing their face and took care not to forcibly remove the scabs. Perhaps because of this, most of the scabs remained firmly attached.

 

★ 1 Day 2 ★

(The photo above is from day 12! The blemishes have definitely faded, so my skin looks clear.)

The scabs started falling off naturally around day 8, and by day 12, they had almost all fallen off.

After the scab fell off, I looked at my skin and could definitely see a difference. The blemishes that bothered me the most had faded significantly, so my younger sibling was also really happy when looking in the mirror. Perhaps because it was something I had been worried about for a long time, my satisfaction level was quite high.

 

 

■ Currently in Week 2, Honest Overall Review

 

It has been about two weeks since I had the procedure.

 

At first, I was worried because my face turned red and felt hot, but it gradually subsided after about a week. Most of all, I was most satisfied that the blemishes noticeably decreased after the scabs fell off.

 

Of course, it hasn't completely disappeared as we were advised during the consultation. There are still some parts remaining, so my younger sibling is considering a second procedure in the future.

 

And there were some unexpected changes as well. I thought only the blemishes had faded, but my entire skin looked smoother than before, and it felt like it had a subtle glow. Even when I looked at it from the side, it seemed like my skin had become much cleaner overall.

 

After looking at other people's reviews, I saw that pigmentation sometimes returns after about a month, so my younger sibling is a bit worried about that. That is why these days, they are applying sunscreen meticulously and being careful even when going out.

Overall, since only two weeks have passed, it cannot be called a final result yet, but so far, my younger sibling is also quite satisfied.

 

Seeing my younger sibling, who had been stressed about blemishes for a long time, happy every time they looked in the mirror and said their skin had become clear, made me feel proud to have gone with them.

 

They say they need to monitor the progress a bit more, but for now, they feel they made the right decision to get the procedure.
