What makes Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Genesis Toning special?

The results of Genesis Toning can vary depending on the treatment method.

At our clinic, we go beyond simply operating the device; we provide meticulously planned treatments based on the scientific principles and skilled techniques of Genesis Toning.

1. Over 2,000 Shots per Treatment

Genesis treatment works by delivering thermal energy to the dermal layer to promote collagen production and stabilize dilated blood vessels.

Therefore, to expect sufficient results, a certain level of energy must be consistently delivered. Considering this, our clinic adheres to a basic principle of administering over 2,000 shots.

We explain that if fewer than 2,000 shots are performed, it may be difficult to sufficiently cover the entire face, and the resulting effects could be limited.

2. Transparent Disclosure of Total Shots After Treatment

After the treatment, we personally confirm the actual total number of shots used with the patient.

This process enhances the reliability of the treatment and plays a crucial role in ensuring the density and appropriateness of the delivered energy.

3. Adherence to Minimum Fluence (Energy Intensity) Standards

Genesis Toning works by accumulating heat in the skin's dermal layer. If the energy intensity (fluence) is too low, the energy may not sufficiently reach the dermis, making it difficult to achieve the desired biological response.

While our clinic adjusts the energy considering each patient's individual skin condition, we do not perform treatments below the minimum intensity required to bring about meaningful changes.

We generally avoid meaningless treatments that only give the superficial impression of having been treated.

4. Customized Design for Individual Areas of Concern

Before treatment, the head director personally examines the patient's main areas of concern with them through a mirror. Based on this, an optimized treatment plan is created to match the potential thermal response and desired improvement goals.

For areas with redness (flushing) or dilated blood vessels → we aim to stabilize the excessive vascular response.

For areas with pores or fine lines → we deliver more concentrated thermal stimulation through overlapping irradiation.

For areas with reduced skin elasticity → we apply the stacking technique to maximize localized response.

5. Skilled Treatment Technique

With Genesis Toning, simply moving the handpiece quickly is not enough to achieve sufficient results.

At our clinic, we meticulously calculate and delicately adjust the handpiece's movement speed, irradiation angle, number of overlapping irradiations, and even the pass interval during treatment.

For sensitive skin areas, we irradiate more quickly and shallowly to reduce burden.

For areas requiring elasticity improvement, we apply slower and repetitive irradiation.

After a primary pass that merely warms the skin surface, from the secondary pass onwards, we continue with concentrated irradiation designed to induce actual heat accumulation in the dermal layer.

6. Securing Treatment Time and Energy Density

Our clinic's Genesis Toning does not merely mechanically fulfill a predetermined number of shots.

Because overlapping irradiation and energy adjustment are finely tuned to each patient's individual concerns, the actual treatment time typically exceeds 10 minutes.

This also reflects our clinic's approach, which values the density and meticulousness of the treatment.

7. Systematic Pre- and Post-Treatment Management Procedures

Pre-treatment: We precisely analyze the skin condition using a Mark-Vu diagnostic device and establish treatment goals through thorough consultation with the head director.

During treatment: We carefully monitor the thermal response during the treatment and the patient's skin condition in real-time.

After the procedure, you will check the treated area directly in the mirror, and we will inform you of the total number of shots used during the treatment.

From the preparation stage before the procedure to the final touches, we strive to provide care that benefits our patients throughout every step of the process.

Genesis Toning Principle

Genesis Toning utilizes a quasi long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser with a 1064nm wavelength. This method involves repeatedly irradiating the dermal layer with laser energy to gradually accumulate heat within the skin.

Through this process, the skin receives continuous warm stimulation without having time to cool down. When a certain level of heat accumulates, fibroblasts in the dermal layer are activated.

Fibroblasts are key cells in skin tissue, responsible for producing important components like collagen and elastin.

Collagen provides firm density to the skin, helping to support and keep the pores tight.

Elastin is responsible for the skin's flexibility and elasticity, helping sagging skin return to its original state.

When these two components are sufficiently produced, you can expect improved effects such as pore contraction, reduction of fine wrinkles, and smoother skin texture.

This thermal stimulation also affects blood vessels within the dermis.

Rather than directly destroying blood vessels with strong energy, repeated low thermal stimulation gradually stabilizes the overactive capillaries. This can help reduce uncomfortable symptoms like redness or a hot sensation in the skin.

Particularly in improving red marks that appear after acne, known as PIE (Post-inflammatory erythema), Genesis Toning can yield positive results.

PIE is not merely hyperpigmentation, but a phenomenon resulting from a complex interplay of residual dilation of micro-vessels within the dermis and micro-inflammatory responses.

This is a condition that is difficult to address with general whitening treatments, exfoliation, or one or two sessions of vascular laser alone.

The consistent thermal stimulation of Genesis contributes to reducing the reactivity of blood vessel walls in the affected area and suppressing the activation of inflammatory substances (such as histamine, prostaglandins).

Simultaneously, the excessive activity of immune cells within the dermis also gradually normalizes, helping the skin recover to a state where it reacts less sensitively to external stimuli.

Therefore, it is best to understand Genesis Toning not as a procedure that eliminates red marks in a short time, but rather as a long-term treatment that controls and calms the inherent tendency of the skin to redden.

It is a relatively stable approach for those with sensitive skin or who have experienced hyperpigmentation after high-output vascular laser treatments in the past.

This process of gradually building up heat is called 'Thermal Stacking.' This method aims to progressively improve the functional structure of the dermis without directly stimulating or peeling the epidermal layer.

Expected Benefits of Genesis Toning

Pore Contraction

As collagen production in the dermal layer becomes more active and skin elasticity is restored, you can expect the effect of gradually tightening enlarged and stretched pores.

Skin Texture Refinement & Fine Wrinkle Reduction

The internal structure of the skin becomes more refined, which can alleviate fine wrinkles and rough skin texture, and you may find that makeup applies better.

Improvement of Redness & Facial Heat Sensation

By regulating overactive vascular dilation and calming micro-inflammation, recurrent redness symptoms or a sensation of heat in the face can be alleviated.

Improvement of Post-Acne Red Marks (PIE)

Red marks caused by micro-vascular dilation, not pigmentation, can show gradual lightening changes through consistent thermal stimulation.

Increased Skin Elasticity

As fibroblasts in the dermal layer are activated, the skin becomes firmer, and overall elasticity can be restored.

Skin Tone Uniformity & Revitalization

Improved circulation within the dermis can brighten dull skin tone and revive the skin's natural healthy radiance.

Recommended Candidates for Genesis Toning

Those with visibly enlarged pores or reduced skin elasticity.

Those with sensitive skin whose face easily reddens due to emotional changes or temperature differences.

Those with red marks that linger long after acne has subsided.

Those who feel their skin texture is rough or have prominent fine wrinkles.

Those who find strong treatments burdensome and wish to gently improve their skin.

Those seeking a laser treatment that is gentle on the skin and can be combined with other treatments like skin boosters.

Recommended Frequency for Genesis Toning

Genesis Toning does not require a separate recovery time after treatment, making it easy to receive treatments at relatively short intervals.

Generally Recommended Treatment Cycle

If you are starting treatment for the first time, we generally recommend about 10 sessions at 1-2 week intervals.

Cycle Based on Individual Skin Concerns

• If your goal is to reduce pores and fine lines: You may consider 10 sessions at weekly intervals.

• For improvement of redness and post-inflammatory erythema (PIE): You can try 10 sessions at 1-2 week intervals.

• If you desire overall skin tone improvement: You can plan about 10 sessions at 1- or 2-week intervals.

Maintaining Treatment Effects

After completing the initial treatment cycle, you may consider continuing regular treatments once every 2-3 weeks to consistently manage collagen production and vascular stability.

How much pain is involved with Genesis Toning?

Genesis Toning is generally comfortable and involves minimal pain.

If you don't feel anything during the treatment, it's possible that adequate thermal energy is not being delivered to the dermal layer.

For effective heat accumulation, during the treatment, your skin should feel warm or slightly hot in certain areas; this indicates that the desired energy has been delivered to the dermal layer.

Genesis Toning: Treatment Process Guide

• Precise Diagnosis and Consultation > We meticulously identify your current skin condition using a skin analysis device and collaboratively set personalized treatment goals.
• Confirm Desired Treatment Area > Immediately before the treatment, we reconfirm the areas to be treated with the patient while looking in a mirror and finalize the customized treatment plan.
• Individualized Customized Treatment > We carefully adjust laser stacking, number of passes, energy intensity, and other factors to target each individual's specific skin concerns.
• Post-Treatment Result Verification and Shot Count Check > Immediately after treatment, we verify the changes with a mirror and transparently inform you of the total number of shots actually used.

The Value of Authentic Treatment

For any treatment, good results can only be expected when supported by an appropriate amount of care and dedication.

Especially for Genesis Toning, using a sufficient number of shots, setting the appropriate intensity for individual skin, and delivering energy to the precise area are all crucial factors.

We always adhere to these treatment principles.

We strive to provide genuine treatments that can actually benefit our patients, rather than superficial procedures.
