    Maypure Clinic, Mokdong BranchMoisture without tightness special #Hydration Injection

    Lately, I've been feeling like my face is a bit dull, and no matter how good the creams are, it seems like they aren't really caring for my skin from within, so I was having some concerns. Then I came across something called a hydrating injection, and after some hesitation, I decided to give it a try! Even with anesthesia, it was painful, but I thought it would be worth it if it improved my skin, so I went ahead. I didn't want to do the whole face, just focused on my cheeks, which had been bothering me a bit. My skin bruises easily, so I noticed bruising immediately after the treatment. I had bruises on both sides that lasted about 4-5 days. The second photo is one taken about a week after the treatment. I can definitely feel that my skin has a smoother texture, and my makeup looks a bit better, too. Personally, I am very satisfied! The doctor and staff were friendly, so I think I'll continue to visit! I highly recommend the hydrating injection!

    I received a hydrating injection because my face was dry, and surprisingly, it wasn't very painful, and the bruising healed quickly. I heard that drinking a lot of water enhances the effect, so I'm planning to drink plenty of water and continue with regular sessions at the right intervals. Next, I'm thinking of trying Rejuran as well!!

    This is the first time my wife received a glow injection. They say the effects take time to show, but even after just one day, her skin tone has brightened. Since it was only 1cc, she plans to increase the dosage for another session later.

    I used a skin treatment voucher and got skin botox. Initially, I didn't have high expectations, but after about two weeks, my face started to glow… It’s no joke. Right after the treatment, I had slight puffiness and injection marks, but after a day or two, those faded away. After a week, I felt like my skin texture became more refined. My pores seemed tightened and smoothed out, and my makeup applies more lightly. Above all, it’s not a greasy shine, but a subtle, dewy glow coming from within, which I really like… Now that I’m in my 40s (feeling the drop in skin elasticity with menopause), my skin was less firm than before, but after getting skin botox, it feels nicely evened out. It's not that the elasticity significantly increased, but the fine lines appear less pronounced, and my skin looks younger. When I apply makeup, I can really see the difference. When I tap my cushion, it adheres well, so the base goes on smoothly, and it holds up better in the afternoon. I’ve been finding myself looking in the mirror more often lately… Treatments that are overly noticeable can be burdensome, but if you want a natural glow and improved skin texture, skin botox seems like a good choice. The 2-3 week mark feels like the prettiest timing!

    I came back because I remembered being satisfied when I had my wedding prep done. I was even happier that both the director and the manager were still the same. Even though it had been a long time, they welcomed me warmly and compared my skin condition from before with how it is now, so I was able to clearly see what needed improvement! I got Rejuran through an intense hand injection treatment. I swear, I felt like I’d met a god. But humans are creatures of regret, and seeing how glowy my skin is, I’ll probably go back again lol. I didn’t start the treatment because of my pores, but my pores have honestly improved so much. I just went with whatever the director recommended each time, so I’m not really sure which treatment worked this well 😂 My skin became so smooth and shiny that everyone asked if I’d gotten a Hydrating Skin Booster, but I haven’t tried that one yet 🤣

    My skin is super dry and I have a lot of fine lines, so I regularly get treatments like skin Botox, Botox around my eyes and forehead, as well as Rejuran and Juvederm. This time, I had skin Botox, a glow injection, and Botox around my eyes. I got some bruising at a couple of injection sites, and there's a bit of embossing. By the next day, the embossing and bruising were almost gone. The duration of the effects can vary from person to person, but it seems to last about 6 months for me. After the treatment, my makeup goes on smoothly and looks good without any puffiness. The dryness also goes away, so the tightness is gone too. I usually get treatments every 2 months for 3 sessions in a row, and then I switch to Rejuran and Juvederm after about 5 months.

    Since the beginning of this year, I've been getting skin boosters and regeneration treatments whenever I could and I've been going to the dermatology clinic quite diligently, but I haven't really felt much effect. It didn't seem like this before, but these days it feels like 'no matter what I apply, it just sits on the surface of my skin.' I felt it was too expensive to continue with basic treatments since I wasn't seeing much effect, and when I saw that White Dermatology was having a stem cell facial injection event, I decided to give it a try. I just recently had a stem cell facial injection for the first time, so I was curious about the results, and compared to the aqua glow injections I had before, it’s quite different. The effect builds up gradually over 3 to 7 days, but it definitely feels like the regeneration effect of the stem cells is good because it's not just hydration on the surface; it really gives a firm and tight feeling from within the skin.

    * This was the last session of my package of 5 Rejuran, Skin Botox, and Glow injections. I'm not someone who usually has severe dryness, so the effect might not just be from Rejuran, but overall, my skin condition is quite good right now. * The treatment was conducted after confirming the authenticity of the Rejuran product, which added to my trust. * Since it was the last session, there was a photo shoot. * This clinic isn’t one of those factory-style places that overbook; the waiting time after my appointment was reasonable. * I was concerned about pain, so I had a longer anesthesia time before the procedure. * I received a careful injection with a hand injector, and while there was some swelling on the first day, it went down a lot by the next day. * They provided post-treatment care instructions and I was satisfied with the follow-up care.

    I've been struggling with excess oil and enlarged pores lately, so I made an appointment at Seongmo Dermatology Clinic. The doctor listened to my skin concerns and recommended skin Botox to improve overall elasticity and reduce pore size. I was worried about the pain since it involves injecting all over my face, but they applied the numbing cream so carefully that it only felt slightly tingling, which was totally bearable. Right after the treatment, there were a few injection marks visible, but they healed quickly within a couple of days and disappeared completely. Now, about a week later, my oiliness has really decreased, and my skin has this beautiful dewy glow that's making my makeup look flawless. Thank you so much!

    I’ve been going weekly for pico toning, and I’ve seen a significant improvement in my freckles and blemishes! Doing IPL along with it definitely enhances the results. I think it would be great for anyone struggling with blemishes or freckles to try toning and IPL together! The prices are reasonable, the clinic is clean, and the doctor is kind! The consultation is clear without any excessive pressure to get unnecessary treatments. I recommend not to overthink it and just go for a consultation. I travel a distance, but the doctor is so nice that I keep going back. I plan to continue with IPL and glow injections after the toning sessions I signed up for are over. I’d also like to try lifting when I get the chance!

    I came in for 6 mole removals and a glow injection, and I was really satisfied overall. The consultation was very comfortable, and there was no pressure to undergo any additional treatments, which I appreciated. It felt like they only explained what I needed, so I felt trust in them. The mole removals were quick since they were small spots, and surprisingly, there was almost no pain. The treatment process felt clean and hygienic, and the medical staff explained everything calmly, which made me less nervous. This clinic only provides necessary treatments without excessive recommendations, so I would definitely visit again. I want to recommend it to those who want to manage their skin without pressure.

    I found a nice place while searching for a clinic as it was time for my procedure. It was easy to make an appointment, and the details about the promotions were well explained, making it easy to decide on what treatments to get. The prices were also reasonable, which made me even more satisfied! I received Pico toning, hydrafacial injections, skin Botox, body Botox, and Botox treatments. They didn't push extra services on me during the consultation and allowed me to choose only the treatments I wanted, so I think it’s a good place. Even though it was my first visit, the clinic was clean and the staff were friendly! One downside was that I didn't get to consult with the doctor, so there wasn't much conversation; it felt like I just had someone performing the procedures. Since I have experience with these treatments, it was fine for me, but I think first-timers might appreciate some explanation from the doctor.

    Hello, I am a mother of four in my 40s. I started to feel a rapid decline in my skin elasticity after turning 40. So, I decided to focus more on skincare. While I was looking for solutions, I heard that Rejuran is good for rejuvenating elasticity and wrinkles, which led me to U&I Clinic. The clinic has a clean interior, and all the staff, including the doctors and consultants, were very kind and explained everything in detail, which I appreciated. So, I decided to go ahead with the Rejuran treatment. They applied a white cream to reduce the pain, and after about 30 minutes, we began the procedure. I've been told that pain varies from person to person. In my case, it was definitely more painful than the water glow injection. However, for the sake of my skin, I was able to endure it. The results from the Rejuran treatment are very good! I feel like my skin has become firmer. I highly recommend it! The effects started to show a little after about a week.

    UnverifiedMaypure Clinic Bucheon Branch

    Last time, I was satisfied with the wrinkle Botox treatment from the head doctor, so this time I went for skin Botox. The Bucheon branch is a bit far from home, but I went because the doctor seemed skilled. However, I was really disappointed with the Bucheon branch today. I think there was a lack of communication among the staff at this location as they were giving conflicting information, and their knowledge seemed insufficient. Before the treatment, the staff (I’m not sure if she was the head of consultations) explained to me that they wouldn't inject the forehead, only the cheeks. They mentioned that skin Botox is supposed to make the skin look better overall, and usually, other places inject the entire area. When I questioned if other places inject the forehead as well, they insisted that Mei Pure doesn't inject the forehead for skin Botox. I asked twice since it seemed odd, and I got the same answer. The main doctor wasn’t present today, and the treatment area seemed strange, so I didn’t want to proceed. But since I had made time to come, I decided to go through with it. However, the numbing cream was applied to the entire forehead, nose, and facial contour, but not at all to the cheeks. They kept insisting that they only apply the cream to the areas they would treat, which I found strange. Eventually, I received the injections where the numbing cream was applied. To have glowing skin, it should have included the cheeks as well, but I got most of it on my forehead instead... I really wonder how well the staff understands the consultations they provide. I was disappointed with the Bucheon branch today.

    I was worried about my dry and lackluster facial skin, so I visited Kim Soo-hwan Plastic Surgery Clinic for an Aqua Lifting (Hydration Injection) treatment, which promised to provide both moisture and vitality. The clinic's interior was clean and bright, creating a comfortable first impression, and I was able to consult with the director immediately after registration, which eased my nerves.
