My first dermatological treatment at Maypure Hwajeong in Goyang! Agnes Laser Review
The reason I first went to the dermatologist
My first dermatological treatment experience was laser!
The reason was because of the syringoma that had formed under my eye.
At first, they were small, bumpy, and raised beneath my eyes. They were a bit prominent, combined with my pores, but by then, the round shapes were flat, so they weren't noticeable from a distance. I thought they were simple seborrheic keratosis.
Then later I thought these bumps would disappear
Suddenly, some of them started to take shape and started to bulge upwards.
I found out that unlike sebaceous cysts, sebaceous cysts are difficult to disappear naturally and can grow larger or spread to surrounding areas over time.
In particular, I went to a dermatologist because they said that syringomas are difficult to remove without laser treatment and that they could spread further to the surrounding areas.
What were your concerns or hesitations before your visit?
I decided to go to a dermatologist, but honestly, I had a lot of concerns.
First of all, the most realistic concern was the cost...
Since laser treatment is not cheap, the cost was a bit of a burden.
Also, the skin under the eyes is particularly thin and sensitive, so I was worried about what to do if there were any side effects and whether it would hurt.
I had a hard time getting it removed, but I was worried that it might come back later.
Still, I went because I thought it was right to get treatment before it was too late.
Actual hospital atmosphere, consultation process, and explanation
The place I visited was Maypure Congressman.
Since it is a chain store, there are many dermatology clinics in other areas.
Since there were already many reviews of laser treatment, I had some confidence in it.
Since it is a chain dermatology clinic managed separately from the headquarters, the internal facilities were also clean.
There are also locker rooms where you can store your personal belongings.
There is a powder room where you can wash your face.
Actually, you have to wash your face here yourself.
At other dermatology clinics, the therapist will even wash your face for you, but at Maypure, it's self-service.
Maypure's overall cost is a little cheaper than other places, but they say that this price is achieved by removing the bubbles and saving on labor costs.
It might be a little disappointing that you have to wash your face yourself, but considering the price, it wasn't bad.
When I actually went to Maypure, the director and staff were really friendly, and the hospital atmosphere was not stiff at all.
I was a little worried that since it was a chain store, they wouldn't do it in a factory-style manner, but my worries were for naught as they provided meticulous consultation.
Why I decided to get the procedure
First of all, sebaceous warts are sebum-congested warts, so they cannot be cured naturally. Naturally, they cannot be cured with cosmetics or exfoliation.
I decided to get the procedure done because it was the cleanest way to remove freckles with a laser.
Among the lasers, I received the Agnes laser treatment.
Agnes said that since the laser uses high frequency lasers precisely on the treatment area, there is almost no scarring, so I got it done for my under-eye area, which is a sensitive area.
Honest feelings I had because it was my first time
This was my first time receiving proper dermatological treatment other than basic skin conditions like itching and acne treatment at a dermatologist, so I was really nervous!
I finally felt like I was getting a proper treatment at a dermatologist's office, and I was excited and nervous because it was a new experience.
When I actually received it, I thought it was nothing special because the laser was so simple haha
The laser treatment took about 5 minutes and didn't hurt.
I think I was more nervous because it was my first time 😅
Would you like to visit again next time?
To cut to the chase, I'm already back for more!
I received laser treatment 3 times in total (varies from person to person) with a 4 week gap between treatments.
It was not that the Han Gwan Jong disappeared completely after the first treatment, but rather it was removed little by little through the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd treatments.
Of course, right after the procedure, it's very swollen and red...
As time passed, it slowly disappeared.
This was the 1st and 2nd time, and the surface of the Han Gwan Jong was cut and disappeared.
There was a bit more on the right side than on the left, so it only went away after I received it three times.
It's clean like this now~!
Overall satisfaction
I don't know when Han Gwan Jong will be back up, but for now, I'm very satisfied because it's so clean!
Now, I am also receiving basic skin lesion care here, such as mole removal, warts, and skin tags.
Above all, it's been six months since I had the laser treatment, and my eye area remains clear, so I plan to continue using this hospital in the future.
The hospital was friendly and I was very satisfied with the results of the treatment, with no recurrence.
This is a dermatology clinic that I have already been visiting again haha
