Review of CO2 laser treatment at Jongno Maxwell Dermatology Clinic

The first treatment I had at a dermatologist's office was to remove freckles.
I was the type of person who had a lot more blemishes on my neck than on my face, and I was secretly worried about how dirty it looked every time I looked in the mirror.

 

 

The photo is blurry, but in reality, the blemishes were more vivid than this, and when I touched it with my hand, there were bumps and small dots or spots that could be caught, which was annoying.

At first, I honestly had a lot of concerns about whether I should get the procedure done.
They are just small freckles on my neck, not my face, so I wondered if it was really necessary to spend money to remove them.

So I just left it alone for a while, but as time went by, the number of them seemed to increase and they looked more and more dirty, so I finally decided I couldn't do it anymore and went to the hospital.

 

Jongno Maxwell Dermatology Clinic is located 180m from Jonggak Station, making it a super convenient location!

The accessibility is really good.

 

 

When I first went to the dermatology clinic, I thought it looked a bit like a dental clinic, but the facilities were not outdated and were overall clean.

In particular, I felt more confident because the doctor, who is a dermatologist, personally provided consultation and treatment.

The head of the counseling center didn't make any random recommendations, so my first impression was really good.

After receiving counseling, I found that the explanations were much more professional and detailed than I expected.
The director personally examined my neck and explained each and every one of them: some were moles, some were skin tags, and some were flat warts. I thought they were all similar blemishes, but they were all different types.

 

After the consultation, we decided to remove it with the most common CO2 laser.

CO2 lasers are often used for hair removal and freckle removal in addition to freckle removal.
The director said that there were about 100 visible moles... I was surprised to see that there were more than I thought, but they looked at even the smallest ones very carefully and removed a few of them as a service. Overall, I got the impression that it was a very kind and meticulous hospital.

 

Apply anesthetic cream and wait for 30 minutes.

Since the treatment area was the neck, they also provided a sleeveless T-shirt that was comfortable to wear.

 

The pain during the procedure was a bit stinging, but bearable.

About an hour after the procedure, I felt a burning sensation and it was a bit painful.

 

In fact, the laser treatment itself to remove freckles is relatively simple compared to major treatments such as Ulthera or fillers, but post-treatment care is also important.

Duoderm was applied to the area removed with laser, and I had to keep it on for about a week, and I had to be careful about washing my face during that time. Even after removing the Duoderm, I had to consistently apply regenerative cream, so it was more nerve-wracking than I thought.

Living with that many Duodems for a week

 

The scab will fall off naturally.

 

At first, I was a bit worried and hesitant, but as time passed and my neck became clearer, I was so satisfied that I wondered why I waited so long to do it.

I heard that sometimes blemishes can't be completely removed with just one treatment, but I was really happy that it was all cleaned up with just one treatment.

Neat

 

The treatment was thorough, the aftercare explanation was friendly, and the aftercare was so satisfying that I would definitely visit this hospital again if I ever need dermatological treatment again.

In fact, Maxwell is famous for hair loss management in addition to skin care, so if you are concerned about blemishes or hair loss, it might be a good idea to get a consultation.
