Slimming procedures at a dermatology clinic are non-invasive and much more subtle than traditional liposuction (check out our posts for HPL and Cryolipolysis). They require much less downtime, for the price of requiring regular sessions and slower results. However, it's the perfect alternative to people who are against surgery, only need to lose a little fat in a specific area, or can't afford much downtime due to work or other circumstances. Even with all this prior information, it can still be easy to misunderstand exactly what our procedures can do for you. Of course, if you have done your research you will know for sure that the results can never be as drastic as liposuction. But just how much fat can I actually lose? What can I really expect? It's hard to find before and after photos for cryolipolysis and HPL, and perhaps I should take the time here to explain why. Firstly it is important to emphasize that HPL and cryolipolysis are not for patient's with severe...

Another question I get quite frequently from patients is whether there are any treatments to change the skin tone. In most Asian countries, contrary to Western cultures where tanning is a top priority, most ladies strive after lighter, pearly white skin. Unfortunately, I am sad to inform you that it is not possible to change the color of the skin you were born with. Treatments may make you seem brighter, as in giving a healthier glow, but this does not change milk chocolate to vanilla. So what else can you do? At a dermatology clinic, a whiter and brighter face is achieved by removing the blemishes and spots that cause a dull appearance. And if it comes to pigmentation, I can assure you that we have all the lasers you need to remove them. A clearer face full of spots and pigmentation can certainly make you look younger, fresher, and brighter. LASER TONING by Spectra XT is for treating pigmentation that lies deeper within the dermis. It is used for melasma on the face, as well...

Renewme Skin Clinic now offers a treatment called Shurink (upgraded version of Ultraformer 3 by Classys), which is the latest HIFU treatment for tightening saggy skin, smoothing wrinkles, and improving overall skin condition. This machine boasts shorter procedure time than conventional HIFU treatment, and less pain. Since it's a totally newly upgraded machine, you probably won't be able to find any reviews. The webpage for the equipment shows before & after photos that look quite impressive, but we all want to know what the actual procedure is like, don't we? Which is why for you curious readers, most of our staff underwent a demonstration to experience the treatment for ourselves. It doesn't get any more realistic than this! Keep reading if you want to tag along through our journey. As it is with any major skin procedure, numbing cream is required for about 30-40 minutes prior to treatment. Mandy and I both look like we could be the Asian cousins o...

All patients who come to our clinic for consultation naturally look for treatments and procedures that last for as long as possible. It's only fair to want the most effects from the money you spend. Now, price is not always necessarily correlated to duration of effects, but generally that just so happens to be the case. This will normally leave you in a dilemma of whether you should save the extra dollar (or won, in our case) and opt for something effective but short-lived, or make an investment on your face in the long run. If you're the type of person that wants and can afford both, you might be interested in this treatment combo: Ultherapy + Dermotoxin (Skin Botox) What is Ultherapy? Ultherapy is an FDA approved treatment that has been proven for its non-invasive face lifting effects. The equipment uses ultrasound to deliver energy deeper into the skin than conventional RF lasers, stimulating collagen regeneration gradually over time. This treatment has no dow...

Treatment for acne scars is one of the most frequently asked subjects patients bring up during consultation. Acne comes and acne goes along with puberty (for most people). However, in severe cases it leaves behind marks and scars that time and/or drugstore products just cannot seem to heal. This can bring a big blow to your self esteem and make you really self conscious about your face, even though other people might say it's not such a big deal. Thanks to modern day technology, this can be significantly improved with a few procedures at a dermatology clinic. Keep in mind that the treatments I will talk about today are for depressed (pitted) acne scars. These scars, while differing in shape and constitution, are all types of acne scars that resemble little holes or dents in the skin. There are a number of treatments available for acne scars, which you may have already heard about, including chemical peels, dermabrasion, and so on. Naturally, our clinic also offers a vari...

Korean barbecue is great and all, and definitely one of the most popular dishes of all time among foreigners and locals alike. But sometimes, you know, you might have that incredible yearning for something a bit... a bit healthier, not so meaty and heavy, a bit different from what everyone else is after. And what many might not realize is that Korean food is extremely diverse - I would say even I, as a Korean, don't know the names of all the Korean cuisines that are available today. Our seafood game is also pretty strong. Which should make sense, because we're a tiny peninsula, meaning we're surrounded by water, and subsequently fish! Another pretty famous Korean dish you probably have heard of would be live octopus, which is exactly what it sounds like: octopus, eaten while it's still alive and frantically wriggling for life. Other than that, we have an abundant supply of fresh seafood, available in various famous and humongous fish markets across the country - this...

I had mentioned in a previous blog post that the equipment used is a strong factor to consider when determining the quality of a dermatology clinic. Any dermatologist can assess a problem and explain the different possible solutions for the skin. However, without the tools, doctors cannot treat their patients properly. A large part of skin treatments rely heavily on the equipment, which is why at Renewme Skin Clinic we make sure that every branch has the same number of high-quality machines, tested and carefully selected through years of clinical experience. There are too many to list everything on this post today, but I would like to introduce perhaps the most common and popular ones, to give you an idea of the scope of treatments provided. Excimer Laser Excimer laser is one of the best options available for treating difficult medical disorders such as vitiligo, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis. This equipment is usually used in large general hospitals or university hospitals...
