Genesis Toning at Kkut Clinic: What Makes Our Approach Different?

The results of Genesis Toning can vary depending on the method of administration.

Beyond merely operating the equipment, our clinic develops a delicate treatment plan based on a thorough technical understanding and principles of Genesis Toning.

1. Measured Dosage Treatment of Over 2,000 Shots

Genesis treatment can be expected to gradually accumulate thermal energy in the skin's dermal layer, stimulating collagen production and stabilizing blood vessels.

For these effects, a certain level of energy must be continuously delivered. Therefore, Kkut Clinic adheres to the fundamental principle of using over 2,000 shots during Genesis Toning.

If fewer than 2,000 shots are administered, it may be difficult to adequately cover the entire face, and the expected results may be limited.

2. Transparent Disclosure of Total Shot Count After Treatment

After the treatment, we directly show patients the total number of shots actually used during the procedure.

This process plays a crucial role in building trust in the treatment and verifying the density of the delivered energy and the standard of the procedure.

3. Maintaining Minimum Fluence (Energy Intensity) Standard

Genesis Toning utilizes the principle of accumulating thermal energy in the skin. If the fluence is set too low, energy may not be sufficiently delivered to the dermis, making it difficult to achieve the desired biological response.

Therefore, while adjusting energy according to the patient's skin condition, our clinic adheres to the principle of not performing treatments below the minimum intensity required to achieve meaningful results.

We avoid treatments that merely appear to have been performed but lack substantive meaning.

4. Customized Treatment Plan for Individual Concern Areas

Before treatment, the head director carefully examines the patient's main concern areas with them in front of a mirror. Based on this, a customized treatment plan is formulated, considering the expected thermal response in those areas and the anticipated direction of improvement.

Areas with flushing and vascular dilation: We aim to induce stabilization of vascular dilation reactions.

Areas with pores and fine wrinkles: We apply concentrated thermal stimulation through overlapping shots.

Areas with reduced elasticity: We apply stacking techniques to effectively elicit localized responses.

5. Skilled Treatment Expertise

With Genesis Toning, merely moving the handpiece quickly may not yield the desired results.

Our clinic meticulously calculates and finely adjusts the handpiece's movement speed, irradiation angle, number of overlaps, and the spacing between passes during treatment.

For sensitive areas, energy is delivered quickly and superficially,

while for areas with reduced elasticity, energy is irradiated slowly and repeatedly.

After the first pass, which gently warms the skin surface, subsequent passes involve concentrated irradiation to induce actual heat accumulation in the dermis layer, thereby enhancing treatment efficiency.

6. Sufficient Treatment Time and Density Maintenance

The Genesis Toning performed at our clinic is not merely a treatment that fills a predetermined number of shots.

As this includes customized overlapping shots for the patient's concern areas and precise energy adjustment, the actual treatment time typically exceeds 10 minutes.

We believe that through this, patients can truly experience the completeness and depth of the treatment.

7. Systematic Pre- and Post-Treatment Management Procedures

Pre-treatment process: We use a Mark-Vu diagnostic device to precisely analyze the skin condition and set clear treatment goals through consultation with the head director.

During-treatment process: We carefully observe the patient's skin's thermal response and overall condition in real-time throughout the treatment.

After the procedure, we will together check the treated area and inform you of the total number of shots used.

The treatment is carried out based on meticulous standards throughout all stages, from pre-procedure preparation to post-procedure care.

Genesis Toning Principle

Genesis Toning utilizes a quasi-long pulse Nd:YAG laser with a 1064nm wavelength. This laser is applied multiple times to the dermis layer, working by gradually accumulating heat in the skin.

During this process, the skin receives continuous gentle stimulation before dissipating heat externally. When a certain amount of heat accumulates, fibroblasts in the dermis layer can be activated.

Fibroblasts are a core component of skin tissue, responsible for producing collagen and elastin.

Collagen increases skin density and support, helping to keep the area around pores firmer.

Elastin adds flexibility to the skin, helping stretched skin return to its original state.

Thanks to newly formed collagen and elastin, you can expect improvements such as pore constriction, reduction of fine wrinkles, and a smoother skin texture.

This thermal stimulation also affects blood vessels in the dermis layer.

Rather than directly destroying blood vessels, it gradually stabilizes the reactivity of capillaries through repeated low thermal stimulation. This can help improve symptoms such as facial redness or a sensation of heat in the skin.

Specifically, Genesis Toning can have a positive effect on improving post-acne red marks (PIE).

PIE is not simple hyperpigmentation; it appears due to persistent dilation of microvessels within the dermis and a subtle inflammatory response.

This issue has aspects that are difficult to resolve with general whitening care, exfoliation, or single vascular laser treatments alone.

Genesis's repeated thermal stimulation can reduce the sensitivity of blood vessel walls in the affected area and regulate the action of inflammatory substances (such as histamine, prostaglandins).

Furthermore, the excessive activity of dermal immune cells gradually stabilizes, allowing the skin to return to a state where it reacts less sensitively to external stimuli.

In conclusion, it's best to understand Genesis Toning not as a treatment that eliminates red marks instantly, but rather as one that focuses on gradually managing and calming the tendency for the skin to become red.

This method can also be considered relatively safe for individuals with sensitive skin or those who have experienced hyperpigmentation after high-output vascular treatments in the past.

This accumulated heat response is called 'thermal stacking.' It is a method that can gradually improve the functional structure of the dermis without directly irritating or peeling the epidermal layer.

Expected Effects of Genesis Toning

Pore Reduction

As new collagen forms in the dermis, skin elasticity improves, and you can expect a gradual reduction in enlarged pores.

Improved Skin Texture & Fine Wrinkle Reduction

As the skin's internal structure becomes more uniform, fine wrinkles and rough skin texture become smoother, and makeup can adhere better.

Relief from Facial Redness & Heat Sensation

By stabilizing overly dilated blood vessels and calming micro-inflammation, it can help reduce frequently occurring redness.

Improvement of Post-Acne Red Marks (PIE)

Red marks caused by microvessels, which are different from hyperpigmentation, may gradually fade with continuous thermal stimulation.

Restoration of Skin Elasticity

As fibroblasts in the dermis layer are activated, the skin becomes firmer, which can help restore overall elasticity.

Improved Skin Tone & Radiance Restoration

When blood circulation in the dermis improves, dull skin tone can become clearer, and a healthy radiance may appear.

Recommended for Genesis Toning

Individuals with enlarged pores and reduced skin elasticity

Skin that reacts sensitively to emotional or temperature changes, easily becoming red

Situations where red marks persist long after acne has subsided

Those concerned about rough skin texture and fine wrinkles

Those who prefer a comfortable skin recovery rather than treatments with strong stimulation

Those who prefer a low-burden laser that can be combined with other treatments like skin boosters

Recommended Frequency for Genesis Toning

Genesis toning is a treatment that can be received without a separate recovery period. Repeating it at short intervals places less burden on the patient.

General Recommended Cycle

Initially, we suggest a primary treatment cycle of at least 10 sessions, performed at 1-2 week intervals.

Customized Treatment Intervals by Skin Concern

• Pore reduction and fine wrinkle improvement → Recommended once a week, total 10 sessions

• Redness and Post-Inflammatory Erythema (PIE) → Recommended at 1-2 week intervals, total 10 sessions

• Overall skin tone improvement → Recommended at 1-2 week intervals, total 10 sessions

Maintenance Treatments

After completing the initial treatment cycle, maintenance sessions every 2-3 weeks can help continuously manage skin collagen regeneration and blood vessel stabilization.

Genesis Toning: How much pain is involved during the treatment?

Genesis toning treatments are generally relatively painless.

However, if there is no sensation during the treatment, we cannot rule out the possibility that the laser's thermal energy may not have sufficiently reached the dermis.

For proper heat accumulation in the dermis, you may feel a warming sensation inside the treated area, or occasionally even a hot sensation.

• Personalized Treatment > We meticulously adjust the stacking method, number of laser passes, and energy intensity according to each individual's areas of concern and skin characteristics to perform the treatment.
• Post-Treatment Verification and Shot Count Check > After the treatment, we jointly observe changes in the treated area using a mirror. The total number of shots actually used is also transparently disclosed and confirmed with you.

The Director's Treatment Philosophy

The effectiveness of a treatment can only truly be expected when it goes beyond simply adhering to a prescribed amount, and when the practitioner's meticulous care is added.

For Genesis Toning, it is crucial to use a sufficient number of shots, an appropriate intensity, and apply it to the precise areas.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we strictly adhere to these standards throughout all treatment procedures.

Our aim is to provide treatments that genuinely benefit our patients, rather than adopting a merely formal approach.
