It's already March of last year.
Perhaps because I had been doing a lot of outdoor activities the year before last, a lot of freckles had appeared on my face, and they were almost as black as dots.
I decided to get a job in earnest and underwent laser treatment for the first time.
At ㅅㅍㅂㄱ, a dermatologist in Hongdae, the cost for removal of moles, freckles, and milia was 270,000 won, and I had to undergo additional treatment for freckles based on the progress of the procedure..
At ㅅㅍㅊㅇ, if you and your boyfriend did it together, it was 820,000 won for 3 combined laser treatments per person. ( (I think it was about 150 for 5 sessions)
There were quite a few acne marks, so I decided on a combination treatment at ㅅㅋㅊㅇ!
[Preparation for treatment]
1. First, I washed my face thoroughly in the treatment room, took a picture, and then waited with excitement.
2. In the first episode, they also took away points for service. Because it was done under anesthesia, it was the least painful out of all the procedures.
[Procedure sequence===Takes about 30 minutes]
1. Remove redness and dull blemishes like acne marks overall with Excel V-------->>>> Feels like pricking the entire face with a needle x dozens of times
2. Focus on removing freckles with Accolade ----------->>>> Feels like your entire face is being hit with a small electric shock x dozens of times
3. Laser for reducing pores, focusing on the nose and surrounding areas----- --------->>>> The feeling of being held by a soldering iron x several times
... If you go through real needle torture, electric shocks, and pharynx torture without anesthesia for 30 minutes, cold sweat will run down your back. ...
My boyfriend who also got it said it really hurt... Once I get it, I feel a little scared the second time...
4. After the procedure, I go back to the treatment room and get a soothing pack for 20 minutes. Rest
[After the procedure]
1. Avoid outdoor activities for 3 days because the red marks on your face are getting worse
. 2. On the 4th to 9th days, scabs remain.
3. After about 10 days, all the scabs come off and your face is noticeably clearer. !
4. Completed a total of 3 times, about 3 weeks apart.
[Effect and Duration]
1. Freckles become noticeably lighter from the first treatment, but almost disappear after the third treatment. I think the big, blurry ones last longer because they require more toning than the small, jet-black ones. I think it takes about 5 treatments to completely get rid of it.
2. Red dots that appear on the face due to dilated blood vessels have been greatly improved, and the overall face has become clear, shiny, and clean. Everyone I meet asks me if I look real and compliments me on how good my skin is...hahaha
3. If you apply sunscreen carefully, it seems to last about 6 to 10 months! Thankfully(?), I got a job within a few months and was exhausted, so my facial glow disappeared after the 6th month, but I still have no freckles or redness. Of course, new acne needs to be managed separately!
4. My boyfriend, who was negative about spending money on his skin, saw the clear results, and both of us are 100% willing to repurchase it. But money is money, and honestly, it's so painful ㅜㅠㅜㅜㅜㅜ I think I'll save it and do it together before I get married. People who work in society need to set a date for the treatment (Friday or so?). It's okay once the scabs are gone, but it's a bit messy for 3 days after the treatment. It's said that
if you have pretty skin, you'll look several times prettier, so don't do it before getting a job or getting married. I highly recommend giving it a try before!
I think the cost, pain(?), and effect will be similar at any hospital. Haha.
