Replenishing dryness, SONO Hydrating Care

Key Elements of Kkeut Clinic's Sono (Hydration) Management

1. We help the absorption of active ingredients through a customized ampoule blend that considers individual skin conditions. We do not solely use hyaluronic acid ampoules just because the skin is dry. We carefully select and apply two ampoules tailored to your current skin concerns. By utilizing an ultrasonic device, we can help deliver the active ingredients of the ampoule deep into the skin's dermis. This can increase ingredient absorption and have a positive impact on skin improvement.

2. After the treatment, Jaungo Modeling Pack is used to help maintain active ingredients. Once the ampoule penetration process is complete, we apply the Jaungo Modeling Pack to finish the management. This pack can help restore the skin barrier, soothe the skin, and contribute to long-lasting hydration. As a result, it can also help maintain the effects of the treatment.

3. We delicately adjust the speed and pressure of handling according to your skin condition. We precisely adjust the handling speed based on each patient's skin reactions, such as pores, redness, and inner dryness. We also subtly adjust the strength of the pressure, considering the skin thickness of each facial area. All procedures are conducted according to systematic protocols.

4. We meticulously perform treatments using ample amounts of blended ampoules and aloe gel. We do not intentionally dilute ampoules to save on product. Instead of simply applying ampoules to the skin surface, we use a sufficient amount to ensure active ingredients effectively reach deep into the skin. Aloe gel is also frequently reapplied to necessary areas to help ultrasound energy be delivered more smoothly into the skin.

5. We aim for an operational approach that maximizes treatment focus. We operate a reservation system that secures ample time to focus on each patient. This allows us to aim for satisfactory results for each treatment. One medical professional is responsible for the entire process, from consultation to treatment and final aftercare. We flexibly adjust the treatment based on your real-time skin reactions.

6. Your appointment time is the start time of the treatment. Cost adjustments will be applied for delays. To reduce patient waiting times and increase treatment focus, we do not accept excessive bookings. If the treatment start is delayed by more than 10 minutes from the appointment time, we will adjust 5% of the treatment cost.

Kkeut Clinic's Meticulous Approach to Sono (Hydration) Management

1. Customized Ampoule Selection and Enhanced Active Ingredient Penetration

At Kkeut Clinic, we do not solely focus on skin dryness and insist on only one hyaluronic acid ampoule. We accurately diagnose the patient's skin condition and, from various ampoules such as hydration, whitening, soothing, and regeneration, carefully blend and use two ampoules deemed most suitable for the current skin. For example, if the skin experiences dryness along with redness, a hyaluronic acid-based hydration ampoule and an azulene-based soothing ampoule can be applied together. The complementary action of the two ampoules helps with the absorption of active ingredients and contributes to skin improvement. The selected ampoules do not simply remain on the skin's surface. We utilize an ultrasound (sono) device to support the delivery of active ingredients deep into the skin's dermis. This process temporarily opens the skin barrier, helping active ingredients reach deeper. This can help not only with external hydration but also with inner skin hydration and overall skin function improvement.

2. Finishing Management with Jaungo Modeling Pack to Stabilize Active Ingredients

After the sono treatment, Kkeut Clinic concludes the management with a Jaungo Modeling Pack. This pack is an important finishing step that helps the active ingredients, absorbed deep into the skin by ultrasound, to work effectively within the skin for a longer period. Jaungo is a medicinal compound made from various herbal ingredients such as Sanguisorba officinalis, licorice, Lithospermum erythrorhizon, and Astragalus membranaceus. It can help promote skin regeneration, strengthen barrier function, and soothe inflammatory reactions. When used with a modeling pack, it helps reduce skin moisture loss and maintain a stable skin temperature. This allows the active ingredients of the absorbed ampoules to last longer, positively impacting the maintenance of the expected effects. This is not just a simple finishing step. It is an essential management stage that helps active ingredients to be effectively maintained within the skin.

3. Precise Handling Speed and Pressure Adjustment Tailored to the Patient's Skin Condition

끗 한의원 소노(수분) 관리의 세심한 접근 방식

1. 피부 상태에 맞춘 앰플 선택과 유효 성분 침투 강화

끗 한의원에서는 피부 건조함만 보고 히알루론산 앰플 하나만을 고집하지 않습니다.

환자분의 피부 상태를 정확히 진단하여 수분, 미백, 진정, 재생 등 다양한 앰플 중

현재 피부에 가장 적합하다고 판단되는 두 가지 앰플을 신중히 배합하여 사용하고 있습니다.

예를 들어, 건조함과 함께 붉음증을 겪는 피부라면,

히알루론산 중심의 수분 앰플과 아줄렌 성분의 진정 앰플을 함께 적용할 수 있습니다.

두 앰플의 상호 보완적인 작용을 통해 유효 성분의 흡수를 돕고 피부 개선에 기여할 수 있습니다.

선택된 앰플은 단순히 피부 표면에만 머무르지 않습니다. 초음파(소노) 기기를 활용하여 유효 성분이 피부 진피층까지 전달되도록 지원합니다.

이 과정은 피부 장벽을 일시적으로 열어 유효 성분이 더 깊숙이 도달하게 돕습니다. 이를 통해 피부 겉 보습뿐만 아니라, 피부 속 보습과 전반적인 피부 기능 개선에도 도움이 될 수 있습니다.

2. 자운고 모델링팩으로 유효 성분을 안정화하는 마무리 관리

소노 시술이 끝난 후, 끗 한의원에서는 자운고 모델링팩으로 관리를 마무리합니다.

이 팩은 초음파로 피부 깊이 흡수된 유효 성분들이 피부 안에서 오래 작용하도록 돕는 중요한 마무리 과정입니다.

자운고는 지유, 감초, 자초, 황기 등 여러 한약재를 기반으로 만들어진 약재입니다.

피부 재생을 돕고 장벽 기능을 강화하며, 염증 반응을 진정시키는 데 도움이 될 수 있습니다.

모델링팩과 함께 사용하면 피부의 수분 손실을 줄여 피부 온도를 안정적으로 유지하는 데 도움이 됩니다.

이를 통해 흡수된 앰플의 유효 성분이 더욱 오래 지속되어, 기대되는 효과의 유지에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있습니다.

이는 단순한 마무리 과정이 아닙니다.

유효 성분이 피부 속에서 효과적으로 유지되도록 돕는 필수적인 관리 단계입니다.

3. 환자분 피부 상태에 맞춘 정밀한 핸들링 속도 및 압력 조절

Sono procedures, which utilize ultrasound, mean more than simply making contact with the skin surface.

The method of delivering ultrasound energy into the skin, considering each individual's skin characteristics, is a crucial part of the procedure.

Here,

we meticulously assess the skin condition of each visitor and adjust the speed of ultrasound handling accordingly.

If significant dryness is present within the skin, the procedure is carried out at a relatively slower speed to ensure ultrasound energy is effectively delivered deep into the skin.

For areas with enlarged pores or excessive sebum secretion, faster handling may be applied to aid the absorption of active ingredients from the ampoule.

For sensitive or reddened skin, the procedure is performed with delicate adjustments to pressure and speed to minimize irritation.

Adjusting the pressure intensity during the procedure is also a very important process.

We apply different pressure intensities depending on the skin thickness and sensitivity of each facial area.

For instance, areas with thin skin layers like the cheekbones, and relatively thicker areas like the jawline,

may exhibit different skin responses to the treatment.

At our clinic, this treatment process

does not rely solely on the subjective feeling of the practitioner, but is based on a systematic treatment manual,

providing delicate, customized handling tailored to each skin condition.

The amount of ampoule and aloe gel used during the procedure is also a meticulously considered factor.

The primary purpose of sono procedures is to effectively penetrate the active ingredients of the ampoule deep into the skin.

If an insufficient amount of ampoule is used, unwanted friction may occur on the skin during the procedure.

This can reduce the absorption rate of the ampoule's ingredients and diminish the effectiveness of ultrasound energy delivery.

Here,

we apply a sufficient amount of aloe gel and ampoule, and reapply frequently during the procedure to prevent the skin from drying out.

Especially when using two or more types of ampoules together,

we adhere to the principle of carefully applying each type at least twice to ensure thorough absorption of their respective ingredients into the skin.

Aloe gel is also not merely spread thinly in small amounts.

To ensure the treatment head glides smoothly over the skin, a sufficient amount is meticulously reapplied to each area as needed during the procedure.

Unnecessary dilution that could diminish the ampoule's effectiveness is not performed.

This process goes beyond simply increasing the amount of ampoule used.

It serves as an important standard for enhancing treatment accuracy and aiding the penetration of active ingredients into the skin.

Rather than performing a perfunctory treatment with less than the prescribed optimal amount,

we adhere to the principle of using more than the standard amount of ampoule, anticipating satisfying changes from the treatment.

Sono procedures at our clinic aim for high-density, focused care. To achieve this, we have established our own operational system.

While some typical medical institutions possess the necessary skills for treatment,

if the number of booked patients is excessively high,

or if they need to manage multiple patients simultaneously,

the focus on individual treatments may somewhat decrease.

Our clinic operates in a differentiated manner from such environments.

We limit the number of patients that can be seen per day,

and set appointment intervals with ample time in between.

This creates an environment where we can fully concentrate on each treatment without being constrained by time.

Through this, we can meticulously observe the skin reaction of the visiting patient even during sono procedures.

If necessary, it becomes possible to flexibly adjust factors such as the illumination mode, treatment intensity, and handling pattern.

Carefully considering each patient's individual skin sensitivity,

and creating a customized treatment plan accordingly

is one of our medical team's key treatment philosophies.

6. The reserved time signifies the exact start of the procedure. This stems from our commitment to honoring our appointments with patients.

We highly value appointment times and recognize them as a crucial part of the entire treatment process.

To minimize unnecessary waiting times for our patients, we avoid treatment methods that involve waiting after an appointment.

If the start of your procedure is delayed by more than 10 minutes past your scheduled appointment time,

we will discount 5% of the procedure cost for every 10 minutes of delay.

This principle holds meaning beyond mere compensation for delays.

It reflects our effort to prevent the deterioration of treatment quality due to excessive bookings.

This is to uphold our treatment principle of focusing entirely on each patient.

Treatments that begin on time without any waiting

are a system that helps our medical team focus more intently on each individual patient during the procedure.

Mechanism of Action for Sono (Hydration) Treatment

1. Ultrasonic vibrations create temporary micro-channels in the skin barrier.

During Sono treatment, micro-ultrasound energy in the 1-3 MHz frequency range is delivered to the skin.

These micro-vibrations contribute to temporarily relaxing the lipid structures between skin surface cells.

Through this process, macromolecular active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptides

are able to be absorbed more effectively through the epidermis to the dermis layer.

This phenomenon is referred to as the 'Sonophoresis Effect'.

2. Thermal stimulation can aid in the absorption of active ingredients.

The ultrasound energy creates subtle frictional heat within the skin,

which can be expected to raise the temperature of the treated area by approximately 1-3 degrees Celsius.

This thermal stimulation can contribute to invigorating blood circulation in the skin and promoting cell metabolism.

As a result, the active ingredients of the ampoule can penetrate the skin more efficiently and be retained for longer.

3. Beyond simple hydration, it can support the skin's ability to retain moisture on its own.

Skin moisturization may not be sufficient by simply supplying water.

It is important to create an internal environment where the skin can retain moisture for a long time.

In the dermis layer of the skin, there is an important moisture storage system composed of

collagen, hyaluronic acid, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), and other components.

The subtle mechanical stimulation of ultrasound contributes to the activation of fibroblasts in the dermis,

potentially inducing collagen production and the reorganization of extracellular matrix (ECM) components like hyaluronic acid.

Through this, the skin can be helped to improve its ability to store and retain moisture more effectively.

When Sono (Hydration) Treatment is Needed

1. Skin that feels tight and dry inside, even if it appears oily on the surface

When your skin appears oily on the surface but you experience makeup creasing and a tight, dry feeling underneath,

this indicates a potential decrease in the moisture retention capacity of the skin's dermal layer.

Sono hydration treatment contributes to delivering active ingredients like hyaluronic acid deep into the dermal layer,

allowing you to expect an improvement where your skin feels hydrated from within.

2. Skin dryness that is not easily resolved even with consistent use of moisturizers

Even with consistent moisturizing, your skin can easily become dry or develop noticeable flakiness.

In such cases, you might consider the possibility that your skin barrier function has weakened, or that active ingredients are not being properly absorbed.

Ultrasound works by temporarily opening your skin's protective barrier.

Thanks to this, the active ingredients in your ampoule can reach deeper into your skin more effectively.

3. If your skin has become sensitive after laser or peeling treatments

This treatment can be helpful if your skin feels red or irritated after a procedure, and you feel that recovery is slow.

Sono hydrating care deeply delivers ampoule ingredients that help soothe and regenerate your skin.

Through this, your skin can recover stably, contributing to a reduction in uncomfortable heat sensations or reactions to external stimuli.

4. When your makeup feels patchy or your base makeup doesn't adhere well

The reason makeup doesn't stick well to your skin and appears to float on the surface is usually due to uneven skin texture or,

It could be due to dryness deep within your skin.

If you consider sono hydrating care the day before an important event or appointment,

Your skin will gain deeper hydration, and you may feel that your makeup absorbs better.

5. If your skin condition suddenly worsens due to seasonal changes

During periods of significant environmental change, such as transitional seasons, monsoon season, or dry winter,

Your skin tends to become sensitive,

And the function of your skin barrier and moisture balance in the dermal layer can easily be disrupted.

Receiving sono care regularly can help manage your skin condition more stably, even amidst seasonal changes.

6. If you have sensitive skin that easily reddens or dries out even with minor irritation

If your skin easily reddens or gets irritated due to various causes such as fine dust, excessive stress, or lack of sleep,

This suggests the possibility that your skin's protective barrier function has weakened.

The gentle action of sono soothing ampoules and ultrasound can help comfortably soothe your sensitive skin.

Key Differences Between Sono (Hydrating) Care and Ionto (Brightening) Care

Sono (ultrasound) care primarily focuses on effectively delivering large molecular-sized hydrating ingredients into your skin's dermal layer.

Principle of Action

Ultrasound vibrations with a frequency of 1~3MHz are applied to your skin.

These ultrasound vibrations temporarily soften the lipid structure between your cells.

Through this principle, large molecular weight hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid can be better absorbed into your skin's dermal layer.

Main Ingredients Used

High-molecular-weight water-soluble ampoules such as hyaluronic acid, EGF, peptides, and azulene are primarily used.

This care focuses on enhancing your skin's moisture retention capacity and aiding the healthy recovery of your skin barrier.

Who is it Recommended For?

This treatment can be considered when you feel tightness due to dryness deep within your skin, noticeable flakiness appears, and your skin barrier function is weakened.

Furthermore, it can also be useful for soothing sensitive skin and replenishing moisture after a procedure.

Iontophoresis (Ionto) can be used to effectively deliver low-molecular-weight brightening ingredients, converted into ionic form, to your skin.

Principle of Action

By applying direct current (DC) to your skin,

It is a principle that helps ionized active ingredients penetrate deep into your skin by utilizing the repulsion of charges.

Key Ingredients Used

Primarily low-molecular-weight ingredients in ionic form, such as Vitamin C, Arbutin, Tranexamic Acid, and Glutathione, are used.

Whitening ingredients usually carry an electrical charge. Therefore, in environments where these ingredients are affected by electric currents, their mechanism of action or efficacy may change.

Situations to consider this treatment

If your skin tone is uneven or generally dull due to various pigmentations, including melasma, you may consider this treatment.

There is also a view that combining this treatment with laser toning can positively influence the skin whitening process, leading to a synergistic effect.

LDM treatment often utilizes local dynamic micro-massage to regulate skin inflammatory responses and assist in the recovery of damaged tissues.

The principle of action of the treatment is as follows.

This treatment is characterized by frequency changes ranging from hundreds to thousands of times per second.

It is known to help stabilize fibroblasts in the skin and reduce the activity of inflammatory substances such as MMPs and TNF-α.

These complex actions can promote skin regeneration and positively influence the creation of a healthy skin barrier.

Ingredients that work well together

LDM treatment focuses on inducing the skin tissue's own response rather than directly penetrating specific ingredients.

When used in conjunction with ampoules that aid in skin soothing and regeneration, it can positively enhance the post-treatment care effect.

Situations where this treatment may be considered

LDM treatment may be considered for individuals with acne-prone skin, those experiencing discomfort due to atopic dermatitis, those with sensitive skin conditions, and those with severe internal skin dryness.

It can also additionally help soothe heat or redness that may occur after laser treatment.
