Genesis Toning at Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, Cheonan Buldang

Genesis Toning Designed with GV Laser 1064nm Long-Pulse

Even with the same Genesis, how it's performed changes the results.

It's the same Genesis Toning, so why are the results different?

This is because Genesis Toning can show different results depending on the treatment method.

Genesis Toning at Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, Cheonan Buldang, is performed using GV Laser's 1064nm long-pulse Nd:YAG (Genesis mode). Beyond simply operating the equipment, we provide a meticulously designed process by deeply understanding and applying the techniques and principles of the treatment. The seven treatment principles below make that difference.

What is the principle behind Genesis Toning?

It's a principle where 1064nm long-pulse laser progressively builds heat in the dermis layer, aiding collagen regeneration and stabilizing blood vessels.

When GV Laser's 1064nm long-pulse energy is evenly delivered across the entire face, thermal energy progressively accumulates in the dermis layer. As the skin continuously receives warm stimulation and sufficient heat builds up, it can help activate fibroblasts in the dermis layer, which produce collagen and elastin.

• Collagen: Increases skin density and firmness, supporting the skin around pores.

• Elastin: Responsible for skin elasticity, helping sagging skin return to its original state.

When the production of these components is promoted, it can help tighten enlarged pores, and you can expect effects such as fine wrinkle reduction and improved skin texture.

Thermal stimulation also affects the blood vessels in the dermis layer. Without aggressively destroying blood vessels, repeated thermal stimulation can gradually stabilize capillary responsiveness, contributing to the reduction of redness or facial heat sensation.

Why it's also effective for post-acne red marks (PIE)

Unlike simple hyperpigmentation, PIE is a phenomenon caused by the expansion of tiny blood vessels and mild inflammatory responses within the dermis. Therefore, it can be difficult to address with general whitening treatments, exfoliation, or a single vascular laser session alone.

Genesis's continuous thermal stimulation can help reduce the responsiveness of blood vessel walls and inhibit the action of inflammatory substances (such as histamine, prostaglandins). Through this, you can expect the skin to recover to a state where it reacts less sensitively to external stimuli. Rather than eliminating red marks in a short time, this treatment focuses on gradually regulating and calming skin characteristics that are prone to redness.

What is ‘Thermal Stacking’?

The phenomenon of heat accumulating progressively within the skin in this manner is called thermal stacking. Since it's a method that gradually helps improve dermal function without causing significant irritation or damage to the epidermis, it can be considered by those with sensitive skin or individuals who have experienced hyperpigmentation after high-output vascular treatments in the past.

7 Treatment Principles of Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, Cheonan Buldang

① Treatment with a Minimum of 2,000 Shots

Improvement can only be expected when a consistent amount of energy is delivered. Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, Cheonan Buldang, applies a minimum of 2,000 shots, considering the overall facial effect. If fewer than 2,000 shots are used, it can be difficult to adequately cover the entire face and achieve desired results.

② Transparent Shot Count Disclosure

After the treatment, the total number of shots actually used is confirmed with the patient. This process helps foster understanding of the treatment and allows us to jointly verify the density and appropriateness of the delivered energy.

③ Adherence to Minimum Fluence (Energy Intensity) Standards

If the energy intensity is too low, heat may not properly reach the dermis layer, making it difficult to achieve the expected response. While energy is adjusted according to skin condition, treatment is never performed below the minimum intensity required for efficacy. Our goal is real, tangible change, not just a superficial approach that merely appears to be a treatment.

④ Customized Design for Problem Areas

Before treatment, the head practitioner meticulously examines the patient's skin concerns together with them in front of a mirror. Subsequently, a personalized treatment plan is established, considering the necessary thermal response and expected improvement effects for the specific area.

• Redness/Vascular Dilation Areas: Energy is delivered in a way that stabilizes the excessive responsiveness of blood vessels.

• Pore/Fine Wrinkle Areas: Thermal stimulation is applied more intensively through overlapping shots.

• Areas of Reduced Elasticity: A stacking method may be applied to enhance localized reactions.

⑤ Delicate Application of Treatment Techniques

Simply moving the handpiece quickly makes it difficult to expect sufficient results. We meticulously adjust and perform the treatment, controlling factors such as movement speed, angle of irradiation, number of overlapping shots, and spacing between passes.

• For sensitive areas, energy is irradiated quickly and shallowly.

• For areas concerning elasticity, energy is delivered with slower and more repetitive irradiation.

• After the first pass, which lightly warms the surface, concentrated irradiation continues for substantial heat accumulation in the dermis layer.

⑥ Ensuring Treatment Time and Density

We don't just stop at delivering a set number of shots. Because it includes overlapping irradiation appropriate for the problem area and energy intensity adjustment, the actual treatment time takes more than 10 minutes. This reflects the thoroughness and concentration of the treatment.

⑦ Systematized Pre and Post-Treatment Procedures

Before treatment, we analyze skin condition with Mark-Vu diagnostic equipment and clearly set treatment goals through consultation. During treatment, we observe skin reactions and the degree of heat accumulation in real-time, and after treatment, we confirm it together in the mirror and inform you of the total number of shots.

Expected Effects of Genesis Toning

• Pore reduction: As collagen production is stimulated and elasticity improves, enlarged pores can gradually shrink.

• Skin texture improvement & fine wrinkle reduction: As the internal structure of the skin stabilizes, rough skin texture and fine wrinkles become smoother, which can also help makeup apply better.

• Redness & facial heat sensation relief: By regulating excessively dilated blood vessels and calming micro-inflammatory reactions, it can help alleviate frequent redness.

• Improvement of post-acne red marks (PIE): Red marks caused by microvascular issues can be expected to gradually lighten with thermal stimulation.

• Skin elasticity restoration: As fibroblasts are activated, the skin becomes firmer, and overall elasticity can be expected to be restored.

• Skin tone improvement & radiance restoration: When blood circulation within the dermis improves, dull skin tone brightens, and a healthy, natural glow can be expected.

Recommended for

01. Individuals with enlarged pores and reduced skin elasticity

02. Individuals with sensitive skin that easily flushes due to emotional or temperature changes

03. Individuals with persistent red marks long after acne has cleared

04. Individuals concerned about uneven skin texture and fine wrinkles

05. Individuals who find strong stimulating treatments burdensome and wish for comfortable skin improvement

06. Individuals looking for a laser treatment that pairs well with other procedures like skin boosters

How often and how many sessions are needed?

As this treatment requires no separate recovery period, a primary cycle of at least 10 sessions is recommended, spaced 1-2 weeks apart.

• Pore & fine wrinkle improvement: 10 sessions spaced 1 week apart can be considered.

• Redness & red marks (PIE): 10 sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart are suggested.

• Skin tone improvement: 10 sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart can be beneficial.

After completing the primary cycle, maintenance treatments every 2-3 weeks can help stably manage collagen and blood vessels.

What about pain?

Genesis Toning is generally known as a treatment with minimal pain. However, if you feel no sensation during the procedure, it's possible that the thermal energy is not sufficiently reaching the dermis. For effective heat accumulation, it is normal to feel warmth within the skin or a slightly hot sensation in specific areas during the treatment.

How is it different from GV Laser Redness & Red Mark Mode?

While Redness & Red Mark Mode directly targets dilated blood vessels and redness with specific wavelengths, Genesis Toning is a treatment that gradually stabilizes vascular reactivity and skin texture through repeated thermal stimulation. As their approaches differ, they complement each other rather than being substitutes. Depending on the skin condition, Redness & Red Mark Mode and Genesis can be combined (dual or triple) in a treatment plan.

Treatment Process

1. Precise Diagnosis & Consultation — We analyze skin condition with Mark-Vu and set individual treatment goals through consultation with the director.

2. Reconfirmation of Concern Areas — Immediately before the procedure, we review key concern areas with the patient in front of a mirror and finalize the treatment plan.

3. Customized Treatment — We delicately adjust stacking counts, number of passes, and energy intensity for each area during the procedure.

4. Post-Treatment Check & Shot Count Verification — We collaboratively check the changed appearance in a mirror and transparently disclose the total number of shots used.

Chief Director's Treatment Philosophy

To achieve good results from a procedure, meticulous care is as important as the prescribed amount. For Genesis Toning, meaningful changes can only be expected when sufficient shot count, appropriate energy intensity, and accurate area targeting are all met. Cheonan Buldang Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic strictly adheres to these principles throughout all treatment processes, pursuing treatments that genuinely benefit patients rather than merely formal procedures.

Sufficient shots, appropriate energy, accurate area targeting.

When these principles are upheld, meaningful changes begin.
