Botox for Excessive Sweat - Underarms and Face

Uh oh, guys. It's almost April already, can you believe how time seriously just flies? Just a couple more days and one fourth  of 2016 will have gone by. Cuh-raaaazy! And you know what we have to start worrying about now? Warm weather. Which is actually a good thing for most people, as spring generally means fresh new beginnings, flowering bursting into bloom, picnics by the river, and all that. But for some people like me, it means another season of sweat. I'm the kind of person that sweats even in the winter, and if my clothes aren't cotton and can't absorb it, I'll feel icky all day. A temporary, yet simple and effective treatment is botox injection. Botox, or botulinum toxin, blocks the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands to release sweat. This injection can apply to the underams, palms, feet, and even the face! Dr. Ko Na Young of our Hwagok branch has tried botox injection for nostrils, and has found that this not only reduces the width of the nos...

Types of Fillers Used at Renewme Skin Clinic

Dermal filler has become quite a common aesthetic procedure in Korea, as it is simple, with instant results in restoring volume in the face. Not all dermal fillers are the same, though; there are countless brands out there in the market, made with different materials and technology. Not all filler brands are safe and FDA approved, and naturally, higher quality fillers are much more costly. Considering all of these in mind, our dermatologists have selected a few tested and certified brands to use at our clinics. Bear in mind our doctors have all tried these on themselves, so they fully understand the patient's perspective before administering the procedure. Here are a few of our dermatologists, Dr. Yang, Dr. Ko and Dr. Kim: But today's post is about the fillers, not about our doctors. Let's jump right in! 1. Restylane (Hyaluronic Acid) Restylane, and other Korean brands such as Yvoire, is comprised of hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that we all have naturally...

Renewme Skin Clinic Network March 2016 Dermatology Seminar

Renewme Skin Clinic Network hosted the first regular medical seminar of 2016, on Sunday March 20th at the Bundang branch. Dermatologists and staff from all six Renewme branches, medical equipment company representatives, as well as foreign doctors and aestheticians attended the seminar to be briefed on the latest skin treatments and to observe our senior doctors perform live on patients. Presentation was on various topics including eye-bag lifting, anti-aging lasers, obesity treatments, laser toning, hydrolifting injection, fillers, botox, and thread lift. The doctors took short coffee breaks in between, examining each other and offering their opinions. Lunch was a delicious sushi box delivery. Everything was delightfully scrumptious, including the salad and fries! Though I'm not the best person to ask for an opinion, as I will love it as long as it is sushi. Live demonstrations included radiofrequency for neck wrinkles and eye bags, latest thread lift, fillers...

What makes us the optimal clinic for filler injections?

Dermal filler is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures in Korea, because it's quick , has nearly no downtime , and has immediate results . However, does it mean that filler is an easy  procedure? As simple and easy as it may seem - I mean, it's just injecting a gel into the skin, right? - filler injection requires precision, experience, knowledge, and skill . The slightest mistake, or even bad luck, can cause serious side effects and consequences that may result in necrosis (death of skin cells) or even permanent blindness. It's extremely important that the doctor avoids injecting the filler too close to the capillary vessels, as to not block the flow of blood that run all along the nose and connects to the eyes as well. Furthermore, the design  before injection is also important, since too much filler in all the wrong places can make your face look unnatural. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that your dermal filler be injected by a board certified der...

When Should You Consider Fat Graft?

Fat grafting is a procedure in which fat cells are harvested from the back of your thighs to be injected into the face, to add volume in sunken and dull-looking parts of the face. It's a highly popular treatment for patients who want to look more youthful and round - results are instant and can last years longer than hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, which are known to dissolve after about 9-12 months. Plus, fat graft doesn't use any foreign substances, but cells that come from your own body, which means there is no risk of any allergic reaction or side effects. Even better, when compared with the price of multiple filler injections, fat graft can also be a more economically smart choice. However, this does not mean that fat graft is the most suitable treatment for anybody who wants to look younger. Consultation is a must  to determine whether or not you are the right candidate. So before you decide whether you want to go through with fat graft, take a quick look through thi...

Collaboration with Agri Velt

When Singapore-based power blogger Agri Velt stopped by Korea, she visited our clinic and shared her experiences on her blog, which you can visit by clicking here . Follow her journey to our clinic and check out what her visit to our clinic was like! Renewme Skin Clinic has started a pickup service  for patients to/from the hotel   or airport. We are planning to prepare a range of vehicles to choose from. No more hassle in finding our clinic, as the driver will take you right there! Details will be prepared on our website shortly. Agri was initially interested about fat graft, since she had really liked her results from last time. However, Dr. Ha was of the opinion that fat graft was not suitable this time because she had lost weight and there wasn't enough fat! Can you imagine? I would give anything to have that same problem... or I wish it were possible for her to take my fat instead! >_< After consultation and contemplation, Agri...

Real Results for Acne Scar Laser Treatment - Seoul, Korea

Red, blotchy, painful pimples and breakouts already pose a pretty big problem when it comes to health or aesthetic concerns. However, severe acne can also leave behind scars that, unlike acne, cannot easily be treated or removed. Such acne scars are formed after inflammatory acne, due to a loss of collagen fibers and tissues. Atrophic, or depressed, acne scars are the most common type in patients and can be further classified into icepick, boxcar, and rolling scars. Regardless of what they are exactly called, the treatments for such atrophic acne scars are the same. Here it is important to note that acne scars actually go a lot deeper than they seem. Here is an illustration of the formation of acne: As you can tell, the scar tissues are not simply the dented parts of the skin that are visible to the eye; treatment must extend to within the skin as well, for thorough and complete treatment. This is why some patients may have tried multiple sessions of treatment and still have not ...

Laser Treatments for Scars - Seoul, Korea

Scars can appear on the skin for a number of reasons: burns, surgery, wounds, inflammation etc. However, one thing all scars have in common is that the result is an abnormal growth of fibrous tissues that replace regular skin. The basic objective of scar treatment is to transform the tangled and irregular collagen tissues and remodel it to become as close to normal as possible. It is not possible to perfectly restore a scar back into normal skin, but we can try our best to make it similar . Laser treatments for scars include fractional lasers, vascular lasers, and laser toning. Combination with other procedures such as triamcinolone injections, fillers, botox, subcision, pinhole treatment, surgery etc., can yield even better results. Determining which treatment combination is best for you, of course, is up to the dermatologist you consult. Often times the doctor will recommend a series of treatments and combinations that require multiple sessions for an effective recovery. Her...

Debunking Myths About Dermal Fillers

Working as a consultant at a dermatology clinic, I sometimes forget how procedures like fillers and botox can be a very new and foreign concept to a lot of people. I'm so used to watching injections and lasers that it doesn't seem like a big deal to me. However, I do understand that for those who have not cared much for their skin or appearances in the past, fillers can seem suspicious, and even intimidating. To make things worse, there are a bunch of rumors as well that tend to scare patients away before they even consider it. Today I will be introducing three of the biggest myths about fillers, and tell you the truth  behind all of them. Take a look and see if you've heard these myths too. Myth 1. Fillers can move and migrate to other places under the skin. Patients tend to mistake the swelling after injection to be filler migration. For forehead fillers especially, the eyelid area tends to swell, but this is not  due to the filler material, and the swelling will subsi...
