This is a review of my first acne treatment with a toning laser at Hamik Dermatology Clinic.

This is an honest review based on my personal experience!

 

There was a time when I had severe facial skin problems.

There was a time when natural healing was impossible even without intervention.

 

It was when it was really bad.

Since I have oily skin, I had a lot of sebum, and my face was covered in red, unpoppable acne.

It is important not to touch the skin, but since those kinds of pimples can't be squeezed anyway, brown discoloration remains even if you don't touch them.

 

I started at a small neighborhood dermatology clinic, then went to a local general hospital, and then to a university hospital dermatology clinic, but there was no significant improvement.

I tried Minocyn, a specific acne treatment, but that didn't seem to work either, so I was thinking about trying Roaccutane, the ultimate acne medication, but I heard that it's really toxic and has side effects, so I put it on hold...

As a last resort, I looked into lasers.

 

The dermatology clinic I went to at the time was Ham Ik-byeong Dermatology Clinic.

I've never had laser treatment before, so I made a special trip to a dermatology clinic that is very famous for specializing in acne!

 

Ham Ik-byeong Dermatology Clinic was located right in front of Exit 3 of Hanti Station, so it was easily accessible.

It's in such a big building, so it's not hard to find.

 

The dermatology clinic was smaller than I expected.

For a dermatology clinic run by a doctor who has been in the media, it had a comfortable and modest atmosphere, no different from a neighborhood clinic.

 

What I liked most about this dermatology clinic was that I had a consultation about my skin condition with the director.

Usually, the consultation for treatment is done by the head of the consultation room in the management office.

The director explained the procedure along with the treatment.

Common acne lasers include Agnes, Fraxel, and toning.

I have a lot of red blemishes on my skin, so my inflammation is high.

They told me that it is better to use a lower intensity laser rather than a strong one.

Among them, he recommended a low-intensity toning laser.

I heard that many middle and high school students also get toning done because it uses a low-power laser.

I decided on this because my skin was already irritated from acne.

I trusted them even more because the director personally examined my skin condition and gave me a consultation.

Once the procedure is finished, tell them to ask whatever they are curious about by saying, "Okay, ask questions."

They explain things very intuitively and clearly!

 

After receiving toning laser treatment, it starts to feel swollen and red at first.

The swelling goes down quickly, but the redness, acne, and scars fade very slowly.

Honestly, there wasn't a dramatic effect from just one laser treatment, but it improved subtly, little by little.

 

 

Moving forward little by little like this~~

 

It took me one or two or three months to get this clear skin.

In conclusion, it was a laser treatment that was clean, but had the characteristic of taking a long time to recover.

 

The characteristics I personally felt are

 

*merit

Can remove skin troubles and scars relatively cleanly

Things that couldn't be solved with medication got better (individual differences)

Unlike other lasers, no Duoderm is needed and no scabs form.

You can immediately resume daily life.

 

*disadvantage

It takes a long time to see that effect.

Slight redness after the procedure

There is also a slight sensation of heat.

It takes time and money to receive it multiple times.

If you want immediate results, I recommend another laser.

 

I don't recommend it, but it's definitely good because after getting laser treatment once, my skin rarely turns back like it used to!!

I had laser treatment at that time and didn't get any more. It was my first and last acne laser treatment to date.

Frequent laser treatments can be irritating to the skin, so I'm currently diligently taking care of my basic skincare routine with skincare and cleansing.
