The key doctor of Elanse's procedure leads the Korean wave in a dermatological laser clinic
CULBMIZ9,LAMICHE Clinic, a hospital with high expertise with more than 280,000 cases of experience
over 18 years since its opening in 2002, has been visited by 1,780 medical staff and customers from about 20 countries to learn about the know-how. I met Director Joo Jong-ho, who is leading Korean beauty medicine as a key doctor (a doctor teaching doctors) of Ellanse procedure that synthesizes collagen and spreads wrinkles.
Q) Park Bo-hyun, CEO of B&H Korea (hereinafter referred to as Park Bo-hyun): As the CEO of LAMICHE Clinic, you have been recognized for 18 years of clinical experience and have conducted educational activities for foreign medical staff in more than 20 countries including Asia. What is the level of dermatological procedures in Korea and the response from overseas?
A) Joo Jong-ho, CEO of CULBMIZ9,LAMICHE Clinic (hereinafter referred to as Joo Jong-ho): There has been a clinical use of a non-skin laser that penetrates deep into the skin and induces skin regeneration without damaging the cells on the surface for 9 years. Korea is also a key market for international laser companies. This is because doctors buy a lot of lasers not only around the world but also in Asia. Moreover, the unique delicacy of Koreans and the infinite competition in the market that are different from other doctors in foreign countries have led to the development of medical technology. Naturally, the field of dermatology laser clinics is proud to be the best in the world, and foreigners who visit are very satisfied with the system they have never seen before.
Q) Are there many people who consult about removing scars, removing pigmentation, and removing point wrinkles for 'improving impression', not just for beauty purposes? Those who have these concerns will be curious about whether they can return to their daily lives immediately after the procedure and the safety of the procedure.
A) Many people visit the hospital to improve infectious skin such as acne after their 20s and improve aging skin after their 30s. Skincare is ultimately a part of expressing yourself. If you look at the growth of the LAMICHE Skin Clinic over the past 18 years, you can think more people will be interested in it in the future. With the recent use of non-skinned lasers, many lasers are not noticeable immediately after the procedure. In addition, with the development of laser artificial intelligence technology, if the skin temperature is high or skin contact does not work, it stops itself and notifies the doctor. So it's very safe. Consultation on the type of procedure and the recovery period is required depending on the area and degree but
non-absorbing lasers have a shorter recovery period than peeling lasers.
Q) After the eyes that move nonstop, the hands age faster than the face. So there's a saying that if you look at your hand or neck, you can see your real age. I think the number of people who want to get treatment for wrinkles on their hands and neck will increase. In this regard, I wonder how it is in reality.
A) Hands and neck have the same skin, so you can see similar effects. People who are concerned about the wrinkles on their neck or hands as a symbol of aging visit and consult. However, there are still more people who want to take care of their facial skin, and the skin of their hands and neck is more sensitive than their face, so it is different that they need more procedures than their face to a slightly weaker degree.
Q) It is commonly known for skin care that sunblock should be used from time to time to block UV rays. Please let me know if there are any exercise or lifestyle tips to keep skin healthy other than the widely known methods.
A) When we do medical treatment, we find many people who do not know if they have inflammation. For example, if you have a red face or a pimple on your chin, you often think it's a stress+hormone problem. If stress hormones are the reason, why don't you have symptoms on the back of your hand and your earlobes? In this case, sebum and inflammation are the reasons. These false diagnoses are often last dozens of days. If you get pimple-like pus on your gums, will you tolerate it for dozens of days? I'm sure you'll heal quickly! The most important tips for skin inflammation are, first, appropriate antibiotic application and second, (in severe cases) fast care.
Q) Please let me know if you have any directions or plans for future medical activities.
A) The, skin care using lasers has not been widely popularized yet. The goal is to create a popular laser clinic where anyone can use skin care comfortably, like using cosmetics or going to a fitness center. In addition, we are planning to establish direct management of overseas branches of LAMICHE Dermatology to help many foreigners to come conveniently at an appropriate time.
