B3 Niacinamide: Use a product with a concentration of 5% to 10%. However, if you experience any skin irritation, stop using it immediately.
Applying Vitamin C: Helps reduce the activity of melanin.
Stiva a cream, Domino Cream, and Melanon Cream are helpful in releasing melanin. The role of shutting down the melanin factory.
If the production of pigment is stopped with the above cream, now it is time to help with a whitening cream that helps release the produced melanin.
Doransamine and Tranec specialty drugs have side effects that can cause blood clots, so it is better to avoid taking them.
Eating vitamins B, C or vitamin E is also helpful.
Glutathione injection, if you get it about ten times a week, it is quite helpful.
You have to do anything consistently for more than 3 months, and you must also block UV rays.
Break melan pigment with laser toning.
*Stiva A
It is good to start with a concentration of 0.01 to 0.025. The role of this stiva A is the increase of the rate of shedding of melanin.
People with seborrheic dermatitis or atopy should never use it
Be aware that 10-15% of patients have red, sore, and severely dead skin cells.
Mix the size of a grain of rice with regenerating cream or moisturizing cream and apply for 2 to 4 weeks. If there are no troubles, apply a thin layer the size of one or two grains of rice all over the face at the last step.
If you apply it consistently for about 3 months, you will see wrinkle improvement, elasticity, and whitening effects.
However, since Stiva A cream makes your skin be sensitive to UV rays, freckles can be severe, so apply only at night.
“beyond evil” is a Korean drama series that follows the story of two men, detective Lee Dong-sik and newcomer detective Han Joo-won, who team up to solve a string of violent crimes that occur in their small town. As they delve deeper into the investigation, they uncover dark secrets and hidden connections that threaten to unravel the community and destroy their own lives. The show explores themes of trust, betrayal, and the nature of evil, and features a talented cast led by actors Shin Ha-kyun and Yeo Jin-goo.
As a crime thriller, the characters are closely intertwined and the story continues as if everyone is a criminal. By confronting the monstrous nature of humans crumbling for success and the monstrous power that governs and confronts them, they expose each other's monsters and attract viewers.
It starts with the disappearance of criminal Dong-sik's younger sister 20 years ago and the murder of a woman whose fingers were cut off, remaining unsolved cases. And 20 years later, the murders happen again in the village of Manyang.
In the same way as the case that happened 20 years ago.Dong-shik and Joo-won, the partners of police officers and police officers. Can the two work together to catch the culprit?
A mystery detective in which all the villagers look suspicious and find out who the culprit is.
Let's compare two luxury treatments among wrinkle care treatments in Korea.
First, we summarized the two devices in a table.
Ulthera
Thermage
energy type
ultrasonic wave
high frequency energy
site of action
subcutaneous fat layer, fascial layer
Dermal layer just below the epidermis
skin condition
if you have a lot of fat, If you have deep wrinkles, When you want to lift sagging skin
If your skin is thin, If you have many fine wrinkles, When you want to replenish collagen
Ulthera delivers energy to the deep layers of the skin, contracting fat and muscles to make the face stick upward.
On the other hand, Thermage promotes collagen by applying energy shallowly to the skin.
So which equipment is better?
A good piece of equipment is one that is right for you.
Which one is right for you depends on your skin condition, elasticity, degree of aging, and amount of fat.
If you have thin, sensitive skin and use Ulthera, which stimulates deep layers, side effects such as burns may occur.
If your skin is thick and your jawline is droopy, if you use Thermage, which stimulates the surface layer of the skin, there will be no difference from before the procedure.
Therefore, it is necessary to select the number of shots, energy intensity, and lifting equipment according to the condition of the face and design the procedure.
If you are thinking about a face lifting procedure, it is important to visit an experienced hospital to carefully diagnose your skin condition and design an appropriate procedure rather than deciding on a specific equipment and going to the hospital.
Thermage vs Ulthera, which hurts more?
Thermage's technology lies in maintaining a cold state of the treatment surface even during treatment. The surface that comes into contact with the skin remains cool, so it does not burn.
It is to cook the inside of the skin without burning the outside.
Thermage is said to be more painful than Ulthera.
The reason why Thermage doesn't hurt is because the treatment is too weak, and the effect is insignificant.
Even with Ulthera, if you repeat treatment in one place, it feels hot and sticky.
Thermage hurts more, so you need to pay more attention to anesthesia and pain control.

how to use Homethera _ https://youtu.be/821BHMIvjkI
Homethera is the first home beauty care device in Korea that applies patented focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology to make it easy to receive dermatological elasticity care at home.
What is HIFU? the heat energy generated at the focus point when high-intensity ultrasonic energy is gathered in one place. It is the same principle as concentrating sunlight with a magnifying glass.
It only takes 15 minutes once a week.
Apply enough moisture gel to the area to be used.
Turn on the power by pressing the button at the bottom of the LCD for more than 2 seconds.
Press the button briefly to set the power value (1 to 5), then press the button twice briefly to activate the output
Adhere to the desired area of use and press the SHOT button briefly to use.
Both cheeks (up and down, left and right) -> forehead -> eye area *After pressing the button, do not move until the shot is finished, and after you hear the sound “beep”, move it to another part and use it.
Caution
Do not shoot repeatedly in one spot.
Do not use near eyes and lips.
Do not use on areas where fillers or fat have been transplanted.
Please use it together with the moisturizing gel.
Please use it in close contact with the skin.
Adjust the intensity according to your skin type.
Do not use it repeatedly in the same line.
When charging the cradle, you may hear a slight charging sound.

The latest laser treatment that is popular in Korea
ULTHERA Lifting
(item name : focused ultrasonic stimulation system)
- Ulthera is a device that can improve skin elasticity as well as stretched fat cells in the epidermis and dermis layers by reaching the 4.5mm layer of fascia (SMAS) in the skin with FDA-approved high-intensity ultrasonic energy.
- Medical devices used to coagulate tissue to lift eyebrows, drooping jawlines, and upper chest areas, and to improve wrinkles on the upper chest.
Key Points
1. natural lifting 2. Get back to your daily life right away
3. Save time visiting hospitals
4. a long-lasting effect
5. a needle-free or knife-free procedure
Thermage FLX
Thermage is a device that helps collagen in the skin regenerate itself when high-frequency energy reaches the skin. A device used for non-invasive treatment of wrinkles around the eyes and face by tissue coagulation using high-frequency current
Thermage maintains its effect for about a year with a single treatment. It is a procedure that strengthens the fundamental self-renewal power of the skin. If you receive it regularly, the maintenance period is longer, and for those with thin skin, it has the effect of thickening and strengthening the skin, so it prevents skin aging. It is very effective in preventing and delaying
No matter how thin or sensitive the skin is, it can be treated without irritation.
TITANIUM LIFTING
It is a diode laser that simultaneously irradiates three wavelengths of light produced by Alma, a world-class laser company, to give an immediate lifting effect.
Titanium lifting corrects sagging ligaments, lifts sagging skin, and provides collagen-replenishing effects at the same time, while reducing unnecessary fat while creating a slim and clear facial line.
Titanium lifting improves skin elasticity and firmness by simultaneously irradiating three wavelengths of 755, 810, and 1064mm, which have effects deep inside the skin.
Even with one treatment, the satisfaction level is high, and the more you receive it repeatedly, the more synergistic reaction occurs and the maintenance period becomes longer as collagen remodeling occurs. It is common to receive between 3-5 treatments.
TUNE FACE (itme name : Accent prime)
High-frequency energy induces collagen production in the skin to restore elasticity, and it is possible to selectively treat the three skin layers of the skin: epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue.
The treatment depth is set in three stages (Superficial, Medium, Deep), so you can select the depth according to the skin layer or treatment area to deliver high-frequency heat.
The 40.68MHz frequency energy that produces collagen is fractional and strong, and the ice contact cooling method accurately delivers energy to the desired depth with 3-step depth control so that it does not hurt. After the procedure, the results appear gradually, and the improved results last for a long period of time, such as 6 months or more.
OLIGIO
It is a medical device that has been approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and uses the principle that heat generated by irradiating high-frequency waves to the skin stimulates tissues.
Compared to Ulthera or Thermage, the pain is minimal and the cost is reasonable compared to Thermage.
From the forehead and around the eyes, where fine wrinkles are common, to cheekbones, sagging cheeks, nasolabial folds, and double chin... ALL FACE treatments are possible with Olizio, so you can relieve skin concerns with a lifting effect.
SHRINK UNIVERSE
It is a procedure that helps to improve elasticity and lift by promoting collagen regeneration by delivering strong ultrasonic energy into the skin.
It is possible to create about 400 thermal coagulation points per shot, reducing pain and time. The ultrasonic energy that penetrates into the skin creates a thermal coagulation point of about 70 degrees in the fascia layer, which induces collagen denaturation and production.
It helps to regenerate collagen in all layers of the skin, including the epidermis, dermis, fat, and fascia, and enables meticulous procedures through the pen-type Ultra Booster Handpiece. You can get better results if you use it together with an ampoule that enhances the lifting effect.
INMODE(2ND GENERATION)
In-mode lifting is a laser that uses high-frequency RF energy to promote collagen production in the skin to improve various skin problems.
If there is a difference from existing high-frequency lasers, Inmode improves skin elasticity and has the effect of destroying fat.
Inmode is equipped with a real-time temperature sensor, which checks the epidermal temperature thousands of times per second to prevent the skin temperature from overheating beyond the temperature set in Inmode.

Recently, ‘Gluten-free’ food is popular, and gluten-free cosmetics are also starting to appear. Gluten-free refers to products that are gluten-free. Gluten is an insoluble protein component found mainly in grains such as wheat, barley, rye, and oats. In addition to food, this ingredient is also contained in lip products applied to the lips, cosmetics and shampoos applied to the face and body.
- The reason gluten should be avoided is because of celiac disease. Celiac disease is a disease caused by a lack of an enzyme in the body that processes gluten.
- An allergic reaction occurs in the small intestine caused by gluten, which inhibits the absorption of nutrients in the intestine. When a person with celiac disease eats food containing gluten, the stomach and intestines cannot completely break down and absorb this ingredient, and it remains in the small intestine. This can stimulate the immune system and cause inflammation of the intestinal mucosa.
Even if you apply cosmetics containing gluten, there is little chance that gluten will be absorbed into the body through the skin.
However, if you have celiac disease, it is better to avoid lip products, gargles, and toothpaste that contain gluten.
1. What foods are low in gluten?
Grains: Rice, quinoa, millet, tapioca, rye, teff, etc.
fresh fruits and vegetables
Various legumes (beans, peanuts, peas, lentils)
Various meats (beef, pork, lamb, chicken, turkey)
Various dairy products (milk, butter, cheese, yogurt)
tofu

Scar treatments known to date include dermabrasion, fractional radio frequency procedures such as Fraxel, MTS, Infini, Floracel, and Intracel, as well as punch, dot peeling, and fillers. As the method and characteristics of each procedure are different, the results and satisfaction of the procedure are different, and the shape and degree of damage are also different for each scar, so a more sophisticated customized procedure is needed for an effective procedure.

1. Pico laser using MLA (Micro Lens Array)
To translate MLA literally, it is an array of micro lenses. Micro means the size in μm (10 to the -6th power). MLA is an array of hundreds of small lenses in the range of 50-150μm.
And each of these micro lenses is in the form of a convex lens. So when the laser light passes through it, it can be refracted and focused on a specific point.
Using MLA, laser energy can be delivered to the epidermis or dermis layer past the outermost surface of the skin.
Due to the nature of the pico laser, it can instantaneously generate high-intensity energy without heat loss. Here, due to the nature of MLA lenses, stronger energy is concentrated according to the focus.
In other words, the pico laser itself can concentrate strong energy, but the energy can be further amplified due to the focusing effect of MLA. When this intense energy is concentrated, plasma is generated.
And as tissue is momentarily vaporized by plasma, cavitation occurs inside the tissue. The phenomenon of microscopic cavitation in the skin due to this focused laser energy is called LIOB (Laser-induced optical breakdown).
When partial cavitation occurs in the tissue, collagen regeneration is promoted as fibroblasts are activated to repair the defect. Eventually, the effect of improving scars and pores can be obtained due to the skin regeneration effect.
What is the difference between MLA scar treatment and conventional laser?
Comparing MLA scar treatment with conventional scar treatment lasers, existing scar treatment equipment, whether ablative or non-ablative, causes thermal damage to the surrounding area. Such tissue thermal damage is not the originally expected effect.
In case of severe heat damage, side effects such as skin flushing and skin sensitivity may occur. It is also a side effect of the Fraxel type laser that often occurs.
In addition, this thermal damage causes a recovery period, that is, downtime. In the case of an ablation laser, a recovery period of 2 to 4 weeks or more is required, and in the case of a non-ablative laser, a recovery period of about 1 to 2 weeks is usually required.
In contrast, MLA scar treatment has a relatively short recovery period. Usually, after a few days, the scars on the skin will be alleviated. As such, there is no thermal damage to the tissue, so there are relatively few side effects and the recovery period is fast.

MLA treatment is able to deliver energy to the inner skin by skipping the surface of the skin. Therefore, it is possible to directly target and treat the epidermis or dermis layer, and damage to the skin surface can be reduced.
2. Sprout therapy - It is a method of filling the new flesh from the inside by stimulating the dented scar area through an acupuncture procedure called sprout acupuncture.
Sprout therapy involves acupuncture only on the scarred area without any other skin irritation or damage. There is no major disruption to daily life during the procedure, and above all, it is attracting attention for its high treatment rate and satisfaction.
It consists of the process of filling in scars, refining the texture, and erasing redness. Through sufficient consultation, a 1:1 customized treatment plan is established for each individual.
Since Sprout Acupuncture directly breaks adhesions caused by fibrous bands with needles, it can improve scars much more effectively than conventional laser procedures, including Fraxel. In particular, because it stimulates regenerative cells in areas that have lost their regenerative power, you can directly feel the flesh of the scar area slowly rising during the 6 basic procedures.
