Introducing Choi Gyu-nam Plastic Surgery Clinic in Tanbang-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon.

When I was in my 20s, my mother wasn't very interested in beauty.

I just barely put lotion on my face... I didn't know how to take care of it.

And without even knowing that sunscreen is essential

In my mid-20s, I was active in a photography club and traveled around the country every weekend.

Because I didn't apply sunscreen properly, my freckles became deeply ingrained.

After having two children, my freckles got worse.

 

Also, because my skin is so thin and prone to wrinkles... my skin age was really a mess.

In my early 30s, my previous company offered skin tests and consultations as free services during health checkups.

I went to get it checked out and found out that my skin was really thin and that I looked like I was in my 40s... ㅠ_ㅠ

It was a total shock... But... I didn't know how to take care of it. I just knew how to apply sunscreen and pat powder on a cushion.

As a working mom, I am always busy and busy and lack sleep. My skin is really a mess...

My mother is in her late 60s and she suffered a lot when she was young.

The freckles are getting worse and the wrinkles are getting worse. I guess my mom thought it just wouldn't work...

Through an introduction from my mother's friend, I went to the plastic surgery clinic of Choi Gyu-nam, a friend of her friend.

He suggested that we get skin care together, so I signed up for the Shrink+IPL package and started going.

I have been going to get shrink lifting and IPL together with my mom once every 2-3 months for about 2 years now.

Last year, I got seriously ill and had a 10-hour full laparotomy.

After taking a break for half a year, I got sick and my skin got even worse, so I'm back to going out with my mom...

 

Gyu-Nam Choi Plastic Surgery Clinic is located in Tanbang-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon.

It's on the 5th floor of the Hanbat Saemaeul Geumgo building across from the Daejeon Lotte Department Store.

 

 

This is the entrance to Choi Gyu-nam Plastic Surgery Clinic.

At first, I went there thinking it was a place run by a friend of my mother's friend.

I looked it up later This is the second plastic surgery clinic to open in Daejeon, and it is truly a very deep plastic surgery clinic.

He is a renowned doctor in Daejeon for double eyelid surgery and other surgeries.

We also specialize in skin care, including shrink lifting and derma queen treatments.

Because you have so much experience, many people come to you.

Moreover, not all patients who want double eyelid surgery are given it.

See if that person needs double eyelids or not.

No matter how much the patient wants it, if you think that natural is much more beautiful,

He is also famous for persuading patients not to undergo surgery.

That was the mindset from the time the hospital opened.

The mindset is that plastic surgery should only be done on people who really need it.

A placard about the IPL laser treatment I received, visible when I got off the elevator~

And this is what you see when you enter the hospital entrance: the reception desk and shelter.

 

 

The interior has a rather old-fashioned feel.

Professor Choi Gyu-nam's wife is a music professor. I heard you were fully involved in the interior design.

It is also a space where you can relax and listen to classical music.

Overall, I felt like I was being treated with respect.

 

 

Let me find out about the IPT and shrink that I am receiving with my mother.

 

What is IPT laser?

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light.

It is said that you can see an improvement in the overall skin condition with complex light of a wide wavelength range.

Lasers with a single wavelength can only treat one skin defect, such as blood vessels, wrinkles, pigmentation, and hair removal.

IPL laser affects all types of skin troubles and helps improve the overall skin condition.

By periodically emitting strong light of various wavelengths, IPL can help with various skin problems, such as telangiectasia, pigmentation, and enlarged pores. IPL is said to be most effective for freckles.

Freckles are said to be suitable for IPL, which improves them by peeling off the surface, as melanin pigment is concentrated on the outermost layer of the skin.

 

What is shrinking?

It is a medical device that delivers HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound energy) to a specific depth inside the skin in a non-invasive manner.

We apply various shrink cartridges considering the different skin thickness and condition of each individual.

 

Depending on the depth and condition of the skin layer, the application of the shrink cartridge varies.

The advantages of shrinking are as follows:

- Effectiveness and safety certified by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety

- Safe, non-incision procedure

- Short treatment of 15 to 20 minutes

- You can return to your daily life immediately after the procedure.

- Effectiveness proven through numerous clinical cases

- Application of the latest HIFU technology

 

When I went with my mother to get a consultation, the overall condition of her skin was not good.

I chose this because I heard it was good to get both treatments together as a package.

You can receive both treatments at the same time or just one at a time.

If I receive two treatments at the same time, it will take a long time because my mom and I will each receive them.

I often receive them one by one...

 

First, go into the management office below Apply anesthetic lotion to your entire face and wait for at least 30 minutes.

After the anesthesia has taken effect, you go in and receive the procedure.

When you use IPL laser, the treatment is done with flashes of light right in front of your eyes.

In the case of shrinking, you will receive a cold treatment that involves injecting the entire face with a feeling of "dadadadadak."

 

When I first got it, it was really... a pain that made me see stars above my closed eyes...

As I kept using it, I couldn't stand it anymore..... My skin was really a mess.. so I had no choice but to endure it if it got even a little better ^^;;;

When I received two at once... my skin really hurt.

 

 

I got IPL laser treatment on July 1st, and after that, I got scabs on my face.

The photo below shows my face with the scabs remaining after about 4 days.

I tend to get scabs less often, but I guess it varies from person to person, and some people get scabs a lot.

My biggest concern is... removing the deep freckles and blemishes that are all over my face...

These days, I'm thinking about asking about laser toning...

 

 

Precautions after IPT laser treatment

Washing your face or putting on makeup on the day of the procedure is possible, but you must use products that are not irritating.

There may be a burning sensation in the treatment area, so after the treatment, the hospital will apply a generous amount of essence to your face and place a cooling pack on it.

I also received 10 packs of the hospital packs as a gift, and they were really good.

They also told me that it would be good to use a cool pack once more at night at home.

They say it's good to do cold compresses often.

 

And sunscreen is essential after the procedure.

(Because if your skin is exposed without protection while irritated, you may get the opposite result)

Even at the hospital, they always make sure to apply sunscreen after using a pack.

 

My boss always tells me to be extra careful about using sunscreen even when I'm at home during the week.

 

Here, Director Choi Gyu-nam always remembers the patient's condition and is considerate.

Especially since you know my situation, where I had a major surgery due to a serious illness,

After I had a complete laparotomy, I developed a 20cm keloid that was not there even after a cesarean section.

The surgical site has severe keloids, so it's itchy and red...

Some people say that a year after surgery, only a thin scar like gold remains, but that's not the case for me...

If you get an injection to relieve this keloid once every 2-3 months, it will go away.

The redness of the keloid scar has subsided and the swelling has decreased. The itchiness has subsided...

Keloids are a disease in which fibrous tissue grows abnormally and densely during the wound healing process.

I heard there is a genetic cause to this, but I think it also varies depending on the person's condition.

I tried to treat it with an ointment and gel sheet that is supposed to relieve keloid in the scar area through external pressure therapy.

There wasn't a big road... But my mom happily gave me the injection after telling me her story.

To be honest, the one-way distance from Sejong to Daejeon is 30-40 minutes...

But the director is also nice The head nurse and the nurse teacher were also very kind.

I've been going there regularly with my mom...
