I dream of natural recovery through TAN nutrition therapy
The key to skin anti-aging is "health" after all. It is good to expect it to heal on its own when a wound or inflammation occurs, but this is why it is recommended to consult a dermatologist. Then, what if there is a hospital that treats the body and mind together focusing on natural healing? I met Jeon Jin-hee, CEO of Yonsei B&A Clinic, who operates careful questioning, nutritional treatment, and hypoallergenic skin regeneration treatment.
B&H Korea CEO Park Bo-hyun (hereinafter referred to as Park Bo-hyun) Please introduce Yonsei B&A Clinic and yourself.
Jeon Jin-hee, CEO of Yonsei B&A Clinic (hereinafter referred to as Jeon Jin-hee), I am a doctor and a patient. My asthma was very severe, and I suffered from atopic dermatitis and insomnia. So, I focused on this field based on my experience in improving functional medicine and regenerative treatment. Therefore, I believe that the world can be a place full of love through medicine. Yonsei B&A Clinic has been open for 15 years and its mission is to be with the patient as a companion. With patients and patients of their entire life, we are specialized in functional medicine and skin anti-aging treatment. We are with patients and their families throughout their lives, and specialize in functional medicine and skin anti-aging treatment.
Park Bohyun: Dermatology laser treatment takes a long time to recover after the procedure. I would like to hear the characteristics and utilization of TAN treatment that uses natural ingredients, which can compensate for the shortcomings of laser treatment.
Jeon Jinhee: Common skin peeling agents contain surfactants to increase peeling strength, which increases the treatment effect, but also increases the risk of skin damage. However, TAN is used by fermenting natural substances for a long time without adding artificial surfactants. It's the same intensity of irritation, but it absorbs fermented natural ingredients into the skin without damaging the skin. I made it good for the body as fermented kimchi works. Fermentation and nanotechnology are combined to minimize irritation to the skin and remove the damaged epidermal layer.
It has made it possible to play both roles:
hydrophilicity and lipophilicity, which are properties
of our skin. In fact, this technology is as difficult as combining water and oil. I am confident that TAN is almost the only substance that contains enough lipids to replace the stratum corneum. The characteristics of soft peeling ingredients and the advantages of TAN
which allows lipids to be attached to the skin, are hidden in the fermentation process. It takes a long time for a single product to be made, as the TAN with the correct effect must remain in fermentation for a long time. These advantages of TAN compensate for the shortcomings of laser treatment and can be used for various regenerative skin treatments such as deep regeneration, stratum corneum peeling, and scar treatment.
Park Bohyun: If you apply ointment to skin inflammation or wounds, or if you get a scar in anticipation of natural treatment, your skin will not be treated by itself. In this case, how should I manage it?
Jeon Jinhee: The best way to treat scars is not to get hurt at first. However, if a wound occurs, you must take good care of the wound with professional treatment and actively deal with it from the time the scar begins. The treatment method is determined by the condition of the scar. Scar relief can achieve good results when combining various methods such as regenerative treatment using TAN or membrane, which strengthens skin's unique characteristics, scar reconstruction, filler treatment, and laser peeling.
Park Bohyun: Please introduce if there is a way to improve the skin's foundation rather than temporary treatment.
Jeon Jinhee: First of all, the most important thing is to minimize exposure to substances that cause allergies. Therefore, it is also an important treatment process to find the cause through allergy tests. It is important to minimize irritation and moisturize thoroughly because the skin barrier breaks due to immune reasons and causes excessive reactions. According to the latest knowledge, intestinal microorganisms, and micronutrient deficiency can cause atopic skin diseases. Therefore, it is important to take nutrition suitable for you and to help healthy lactobacillus in the intestines live. You also need plenty of fluids and sleep. However, it is not easy for modern people to eat seasonal foods rich in vegetables and fruits. In that case, you can supplement the insufficient ingredients with nutrient solution treatment or nutritional supplements. In addition, if TAN treatment with naturally fermented ingredients is combined, the broken stratum corneum can be removed smoothly and new and healthy stratum corneum can be regenerated.
Park Bohyun: I wonder what skin diseases patients visit to the clinic. Also, I am interested in what skin diseases should be especially careful of in the upcoming winter and what are preventive measures.
Joen Jinhee: The most common treatment target in our clinic is aging itself. Regardless of age, patients whose skin ages due to environmental exposure such as time, dryness, and ultraviolet rays usually visit the hospital. The skin symptoms that patients complain of are "rough, dark, bumpy, tired, fine wrinkles and that pores are too visible, and makeup is not working well." Skin aging starts in the 30s, so our patient population varies from 30s to 70s. Patients in their 10s and 20s are often subject to acne, inflammatory skin diseases, and scar treatment. For neck wrinkle relief procedures, other plastic surgery or dermatology hospitals may refer you to our hospital.
In winter, the stratum corneum that has been broken due to dryness accelerates aging. In addition, patients with inflammatory skin diseases are likely to worsen due to a lack of skin moisture. Above all, you should thoroughly take care of your skin in winter, so that it is not dry.
Park Bohyun: As a dermatologist, you uniquely publish a periodical called “Band-Aid” and conduct various activities including assessing venture activities. Lastly, if you have any goals or wishes, please tell us.
Jeon Jinhee: As I said before, I think medicine can make the world healthy and beautiful. Above all, as I believed that there was a need for communication between patients and medical professionals, I founded a magazine called “Band-Aid” in 2013. At that time, no doctors were jumping into the medical industry. I entered the medical industry following the advice of my mentor, Professor Yoon Jong-rok. And as a doctor, I have been actively working on anything that would be of help to the industry. I'm a local doctor who is happy yesterday and the day before, having lunch with the food that patients and their families made. I want to be remembered as a medical partner in life of patients and their families. In the medical industry, as a medical partner of a company, I want to be a person who innovates and grows technology.
