Renewme Skin Clinic

Looking for a permanent way to restore balding hair? Contact us today to see whether YOU are eligible for hair transplantation at Renewme Skin Clinic!  Promotion applies to FUSS (Follicular Unit Strip Surgery) : Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUSS), otherwise known as strip harvesting , is the most common method used for hair transplantation. The procedure consists of removing a strip of skin from the scalp (about 3-4 centimeters in height), generally in posterior areas unaffected by hair loss. Once this wound is stitched together, a group of skilled assistants separate each individual hair follicle from the strip, removing excess tissues while making sure the follicles themselves remain undamaged. Each follicle is then placed into an injector, which simultaneously punctures the skin and plants the follicle in targeted sites.​  6 MONTHS LATER - NO SCARS! How many grafts do I need? In order to know which price/promotion applies to you, please send us a photo ...

In recent blog posts I have introduced a couple of dermal filler brands that we use at our clinic - and today I'd like to talk about one of the most commonly used Korean filler brands in Korea:  YVOIRE® by LG Life Sciences. Yep that's right, LG doesn't just make your TV monitors and smartphones; they have huge businesses that cover many aspects of our everyday life, with beauty and cosmetics being no exception. All photo sources: http://www.lgyvoire.com/ Much like the well-known Restylane, Yvoire is a hyaluronic acid filler that is made from non-animal substances and has been approved and certified for its safety. Since hyaluronic acid is a substance that already exists in our bodies, which therefore becomes absorbed over time, there is very low risk of allergic reaction. The best part is that since the brand is from our own country Korea, costs are also much lower than other imported filler brands, making Yvoire cost effective as well. What a great cherry on top! ...

Many times, patients visit our dermatology clinic with extremely vague and general questions such as "I want laser treatment for my skin," or "What procedures will make me look younger?" This is quite understandable if you have never been to a dermatology clinic before. If you're reading this and think this applies to you, here's a tip: be specific with your questions and research procedures beforehand to make consultation easier for both yourself and for the doctor. Of course, if you're reading this post at all, that would probably mean you are  in fact doing your research, in which case you're doing a great job. :D How can you be specific with your concerns? Well, it would ultimately be up to the doctor to determine exactly which factors are causing you to look older, or tired, or less attractive (in your eyes). However, treating every little factor would be quite costly and time consuming, and realistically not possible. So prioritize your con...

You know those goosebumps you get when you're cold, or terrified, or have an upset stomach from too much spicy chicken wings last night, that suddenly hits you when you're in the middle of the street without any restrooms nearby, and leaves you in cold sweat, unable to concentrate on anything else but the pain in your stomach and the yearning for the comforts of your toilet back home? Oops, got carried away a bit there (totally not coming from personal experience, by the way). But you know what I mean. For most of us this is just a temporary phenomenon we experience in generally unpleasant situations. However, there are some people who have a certain skin condition that makes them look like they've got goosebumps all the time. This condition is also known as keratosis pilaris . Symptoms normally appear in small, hard bumps on the skin that are white or red, occasionally itchy, but virtually harmless. They're caused by the buildup of keratin, the protein that protec...

AestheFill is a brand of dermal filler with long-lasting results of up to 2 years. It's a highly recommended procedure for patients who want natural and gradual results instead of something instant like hyaluronic acid fillers.

Here are some of the main features of AestheFill: ▶ Patented Technology AestheFill uses internationally patented materials and technology. ▶ Natural Effects This biocompatible filler naturally stimulates collagen production deep within the skin. ▶ Certified Safety The substance used in AestheFill has been approved by the US FDA, and degrades naturally within the body. ▶ Convenient Procedure The injection procedure only takes about 10 minutes, not included topical anesthesia. Learn more about the principles that lie behind how AestheFill works: To clarify the explanation in the ...

So Renewme Skin Clinic Seocho branch hired a new aesthetician a couple of months ago, whom is still in the process of learning different skin procedures and facials to practice on patients. Of all the skin care services offered at our clinic, comedone extraction is said to be the most difficult, especially so because in order to practice, you need actual acne patients willing to be dealt with someone who has no experience in extraction. Therefore, most of our regular acne patients aren't an option, and these new aestheticians are left looking for family or other staff members with acne problems, for practice. That's why today, I was requested to be a guinea pig (perhaps that's too harsh of a term to use here, but that's what it felt like) for this aesthetician. She was a very sweet young lady who thanked me multiple times for agreeing to receive the extraction session, when in fact I was the thankful one; I knew she would be supervised by a senior, and well, I was in ...

South Korea is pretty famous for plastic surgery, we all know by now. Particularly in the Gangnam district, where whole streets are lined with plastic surgery clinics, it is not uncommon to see ladies walking around with their faces heavily bandaged, covering up their bruises with masks and sunglasses. No, they didn't just survive a massive attack from local gang members or anything like that, although that makes a much cooler story; they're just recovering from surgical procedures that help to enhance and beautify their faces. When you look at these people walking around, living in discomfort for a few weeks before they can emerge from their cocoons (in their case, bandages) as a butterfly, you might wonder whether it always has to be that painful. Why does becoming prettier (which obviously is a very relative term) require people to stay secluded and avoid contact with other people until their faces become presentable again? With all these advances in technology, couldn...
