Points Our Medical Team Considers Important During Genesis Toning Treatment

• To ensure sufficient energy reaches the entire face, Genesis Toning treatment fundamentally involves applying over 2,000 laser shots.
• For transparency in the treatment process, after your Genesis Toning treatment, we will directly show you the total number of shots used.
• We maintain appropriate energy intensity (fluence) to effectively deliver thermal energy deep into the skin's dermal layer. To achieve a meaningful skin response, we avoid inefficient treatments caused by insufficient intensity and proceed by considering the necessary minimum energy level.
• We finely adjust the treatment plan according to each patient's individual skin concerns. We can apply different treatment patterns and laser overlapping methods to address specific issues such as enlarged pores, redness, or reduced skin elasticity.
• Our medical team meticulously adjusts the movement of the laser handpiece, the direction of irradiation, and the degree of shot overlapping during the treatment. Through this process, we strive to ensure that thermal energy is delivered uniformly and effectively deep within the skin.
• To allow for multiple, overlapping applications tailored to each patient's specific skin concerns, we ensure ample treatment time. This helps your skin receive the sufficient energy density it needs.
• Genesis Toning treatment follows a systematic procedure from initial diagnosis to post-treatment follow-up. This helps maintain treatment consistency and allows our patients to proceed with the treatment process with confidence and peace of mind.

These are the points our medical team considers important during Genesis Toning treatment.

The results of Genesis Toning treatment may vary from person to person depending on the approach used.

Beyond simple equipment operation, our treatments are based on the scientific principles and extensive clinical experience of Genesis Toning.

1. Treatment Based on a Minimum of 2,000 Shots

Genesis Toning utilizes the principle of delivering thermal energy to the skin's dermal layer to stimulate collagen production and stabilize dilated blood vessels.

This thermal energy must be delivered repeatedly a sufficient number of times to achieve the desired skin response. Therefore, we set a minimum standard of 2,000 shots during treatment.

If treated with fewer than 2,000 shots, even energy delivery to the entire face may be challenging, and the anticipated skin improvement effects could be limited.

2. Verification of Total Laser Shot Count After Treatment

Once your Genesis Toning treatment is complete, we have a procedure to confirm the total number of laser shots used, together with you.

This verification enhances the transparency of the treatment process and helps you understand the amount of energy that was delivered.

3. Maintaining Optimal Energy Intensity (Fluence)

Genesis Toning uses the principle of gradually building up heat in the skin. If the energy intensity (fluence) is insufficient, it can be challenging for the heat to properly reach the dermal layer, which may result in fewer desired skin changes.

While we adjust the energy according to your skin condition, we always proceed with the treatment maintaining the minimum intensity required to produce a meaningful response in your skin.

We strictly avoid inefficient treatment methods that merely appear to have been performed without yielding proper results.

4. Personalized Treatment Plan Tailored to Individual Skin Concerns

Before treatment, our medical team meticulously identifies your main areas of skin concern while examining them with you in a mirror. Based on this, we formulate a customized treatment plan, considering the potential thermal response and expected direction of improvement for each specific area.

For areas with redness or dilated blood vessels, we adjust and deliver energy to stabilize the vascular response.

For areas with concerns about enlarged pores or fine wrinkles, we sometimes apply the laser multiple times, overlapping, to provide more effective thermal stimulation.

Areas with reduced skin elasticity can be treated using a 'stacking' technique to intensively induce a response in that specific area.

5. Skilled Treatment Expertise and Delicate Technique

It can be challenging to achieve the desired results in Genesis Toning treatment by simply moving the handpiece quickly.

Our medical team meticulously considers and adjusts all aspects, including the handpiece's movement speed, laser irradiation angle, number of overlapping passes, and the interval between passes, during treatment.

For sensitive skin areas, the treatment is performed carefully at a relatively faster speed.

Conversely, for areas requiring elasticity improvement, energy is sometimes delivered sufficiently through repeated irradiation at a slower speed.

Initially, the treatment proceeds by gently warming the skin surface. Subsequently, the laser is intensively applied to ensure that substantial thermal energy can gradually accumulate in the skin's dermal layer.

6. Ensuring Ample Treatment Time and High-Density Energy Delivery

We approach Genesis Toning treatment with a deeper purpose, going beyond simply completing a predetermined number of shots.

Since it involves overlapping irradiation tailored to each patient's specific areas of concern and delicate energy adjustment, the actual treatment time may take more than 10 minutes.

We meticulously proceed by dedicating sufficient treatment time, which can positively influence the treatment results.

7. Systematic Pre- and Post-Treatment Process

Before treatment, we precisely analyze your skin condition using Mark-Vu diagnostic equipment and establish suitable treatment goals for you through thorough consultation with our medical team.

During the treatment, we proceed by meticulously observing your skin's thermal response and overall condition changes in real-time.

After the procedure, we will jointly check the treated area with a mirror and inform you of the total number of shots used in detail.

From a thorough consultation before the procedure to its completion, we meticulously prepare the process to ensure patients receive treatment comfortably.

Genesis Toning Principle

Genesis Toning uses a long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser with a 1064nm wavelength, a treatment method that gradually delivers and accumulates thermal energy in the dermis.

When the skin receives continuous warm stimulation without a chance to release heat externally, fibroblasts in the dermis begin to move actively.

Fibroblasts, important cells that form the basic structure of the skin, play a role in aiding the production of collagen and elastin.

When collagen is produced, skin density increases, which can help support the tissue around pores more firmly.

Elastin is a component responsible for skin elasticity, playing an important role in helping sagging skin regain its original firmness.

When these components are actively produced, you can expect results such as tightened enlarged pores, reduced fine lines, and smoother, softer skin texture.

This thermal stimulation from the laser also affects blood vessels within the dermis.

Rather than directly damaging blood vessels, gentle and consistent thermal stimulation can gradually calm hypersensitive reactions of capillaries, contributing to the reduction of discomfort such as redness or skin heat.

Specifically, Genesis Toning can help alleviate post-inflammatory erythema (PIE), which are red marks left on the skin after acne has subsided.

PIE is distinguished from simple hyperpigmentation and arises from micro-inflammatory reactions caused by persistently dilated microvessels within the dermis.

These PIE issues are often not easily resolved by simple whitening care, exfoliation, or one-off vascular laser treatments alone.

The continuous thermal stimulation of Genesis Toning can help reduce the hypersensitive reactions of blood vessel walls that cause red marks, and inhibit the activity of inflammatory mediators such as histamine and prostaglandins.

In this process, the excessive activity of immune cells within the dermis gradually calms down, and the skin is expected to recover to react less sensitively to external stimuli.

Therefore, it is better to understand Genesis Toning not as a treatment that quickly removes red marks, but rather as a therapy focused on gradually managing and soothing the skin's tendency to become red.

Individuals with sensitive skin or those who have experienced post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after high-output vascular procedures in the past can also consider this treatment with relatively less burden.

This phenomenon of heat accumulation is called 'Thermal Stacking.' This method focuses on gradually improving the function and structure of the dermis without causing strong stimulation to the epidermis.

Expected Effects of Genesis Toning

Pore Reduction

As collagen production is promoted within the dermis, skin elasticity can improve, and as a result, you can expect enlarged pores to shrink.

Improved Skin Texture & Reduced Fine Lines

As the overall structure of the skin improves, shallow wrinkles diminish and rough skin texture becomes smoother, helping makeup adhere better.

Reduced Redness, Facial Heat Sensation

By regulating excessive vascular dilation and calming micro-inflammatory reactions, it can help alleviate recurring symptoms of facial redness.

Improved Post-Acne Red Marks (PIE)

Unlike hyperpigmentation, red marks caused by microvascular issues can gradually fade in color due to the thermal stimulation of the laser.

Restored Skin Elasticity

As fibroblasts in the dermis become active, the skin gradually becomes firmer, aiding in the overall recovery of skin tension.

Improved Skin Tone & Restored Radiance

When blood circulation in the dermis becomes active, dull skin tone improves and brightens, and you can expect a healthy, natural glow to be restored.

Recommended for Genesis Toning

Those concerned about enlarged pores or feeling a decrease in skin elasticity

Those with sensitive skin that easily reddens due to emotional changes or temperature differences

Those who have red marks remaining for quite a long time after acne has subsided

Those with rough skin texture and noticeable fine lines

When you want to improve your skin gently and softly rather than with strong stimulation

Those looking for a laser treatment that can be combined with other procedures, such as skin boosters

Recommended Frequency for Genesis Toning

Genesis Toning does not require a separate recovery time after the procedure. It can be received comfortably without significant disruption to daily life, and it is a treatment with less burden for regular maintenance at short intervals.

Recommended Treatment Cycle Information

When starting the treatment for the first time, we recommend undergoing it 10 or more times, at intervals of 1 to 2 weeks.

Treatment Cycle Tailored to Skin Concerns

• If your goal is to improve pores and fine lines, you may consider a total of 10 treatments at weekly intervals.

• For the management of redness or post-inflammatory erythema (PIE), 10 treatments are often performed at intervals of 1 to 2 weeks.

• If you desire overall improvement in skin tone, 10 treatments at 1- or 2-week intervals may be appropriate.

Maintenance Treatments for Consistent Care

After completing all initially recommended treatment sessions, receiving maintenance treatments every 2 to 3 weeks can help stabilize collagen and manage vascular health.

How much pain is involved with Genesis Toning?

Genesis Toning is generally a treatment that does not involve severe pain.

However, if you feel nothing on your skin during the treatment, the necessary thermal energy might not have been properly delivered to the dermal layer.

For heat to be effectively delivered to the dermal layer, it is common to feel a gentle warmth inside the skin during the procedure, or occasionally a slight hot sensation in specific areas.

Genesis Toning Treatment Procedure

• Detailed Diagnosis and Consultation > Your current skin condition is accurately assessed using skin analysis equipment. After a thorough discussion with the medical team, treatment goals will be set together.
• Reconfirmation of Desired Improvement Areas > Immediately before the treatment, we will reconfirm the areas you wish to improve by looking in the mirror together. Based on this, a personalized treatment plan will be further specified.
• Personalized Treatment > We meticulously consider the specific characteristics of each problem area of the skin, delicately adjusting the stacking method, number of treatments, and energy intensity during the procedure.
• Treatment Results and Total Shot Count Confirmation > After the treatment, you can observe the before-and-after changes yourself in the mirror. Additionally, we will inform you of the total number of shots actually used.

The Medical Team's Perspective on Treatment

For a treatment to yield good results, there must be a balance between an appropriate amount of treatment and a delicate approach. Only then can satisfactory improvement be expected.

Genesis Toning can achieve more effective results when not only a sufficient number of shots is used, but also when the appropriate energy intensity for the skin is set, and the treatment is precisely applied to the target area.

Our medical team strives to meticulously adhere to these standards throughout every treatment process.

Our goal is not just a treatment that makes the skin look good on the surface, but one that can provide substantial help for our patients' skin health and improvement.
