Features of Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Sono (Hydration) Treatment

1. We combine and deliver two types of ampoules, considering your skin condition.
We do not simply use a single hyaluronic acid ampoule just by looking at dryness.
We deliver two ampoules suitable for your current skin deep into the dermis using ultrasound, aiding in the absorption of active ingredients and promoting expected skin improvement.

2. In the final stage of the treatment, a Jaungo modeling pack helps maintain the active ingredients well.
After the ampoule is absorbed into the skin, the treatment is concluded with a Jaungo modeling pack.
This helps restore the skin barrier, soothe, and maintain moisture, allowing the active ingredients to remain in the skin for a longer period.

3. We adjust the handling speed and pressure according to your skin condition.
We delicately adjust the handling speed to individual skin responses such as pores, redness, and inner dryness.
We adjust the pressure considering the skin thickness of each facial area and provide systematic treatment based on skilled expertise.

4. The combined ampoules are applied two or more times, and an ample amount of aloe gel is used.
We do not dilute the ampoules.
The amount of ampoule used is not merely the amount applied, but is calculated and applied to ensure sufficient penetration of active ingredients into the skin.
Aloe gel is also reapplied to necessary areas to ensure that ultrasonic energy is effectively delivered to the skin.

5. Operating System for Highly Focused Treatment
To ensure focus on the treatment, we operate our reservation system with ample time, allowing us to dedicate focused attention to each patient.
Our dedicated medical staff is responsible for everything from consultation to treatment and aftercare, with flexible measures taken in response to the patient's real-time reactions.

6. Principle of Adhering to Appointment Times, Measures for Delays
To reduce patient waiting times and provide focused treatment, we operate our appointment intervals with ample spacing.
If the treatment start is delayed beyond the scheduled appointment time, we adhere to the principle of adjusting the cost by 5% for every 10 minutes.

Detailed Approach to Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Sono (Hydration) Treatment

1. Customized Ampoule Selection and Effective Penetration Based on Skin Condition
Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic does not simply insist on hyaluronic acid ampoules solely due to skin dryness.
After a thorough diagnosis of the patient's skin condition, among various types of ampoules such as hydration, whitening, soothing, and regeneration,
we carefully combine and use two ampoules suitable for the current skin condition.
For example, for skin that exhibits both dryness and redness simultaneously,
we may apply a hyaluronic acid-based hydrating ampoule and an azulene-based soothing ampoule together.
A combination that considers the synergy of the two ampoules helps with the absorption of active ingredients and can positively influence expected skin improvement.
The selected ampoules are not just applied; active ingredients are delivered to the dermal layer using ultrasound (sono).
This temporarily opens the skin barrier to help deep delivery of active ingredients, which can aid in internal skin hydration and functional recovery beyond simple surface moisturizing.

2. Maintaining Active Ingredients with Jaungo Modeling Pack After Treatment
At Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, the treatment is concluded by applying a Jaungo modeling pack after the sono procedure.
This process is the final step that helps active ingredients, delivered deep into the skin by ultrasound, remain in the skin longer.
Jaungo is formulated based on various traditional Korean medicinal herbs such as Sanguisorba officinalis, licorice, Lithospermum erythrorhizon, and Astragalus propinquus.
It can aid in skin regeneration, barrier strengthening, and inflammation relief,
and when used with a modeling pack, it helps prevent moisture loss and stabilizes skin temperature,
thereby contributing to the long-term retention of the absorbed ampoule's active ingredients in the skin.
This holds more significance than just a skin-soothing pack.
It is a process that aids the absorption of active ingredients and ensures a well-concluded treatment.

3. During handling, speed and pressure are finely adjusted according to your skin condition.

끗 한의원 소노(수분) 관리의 섬세한 접근

1. 피부 상태 맞춤 앰플 선택 및 효과적인 침투

끗 한의원은 단순히 피부 건조함 때문에 히알루론산 앰플만을 고집하지 않습니다.

환자분의 피부 상태를 면밀히 진단한 후, 수분, 미백, 진정, 재생 등 다양한 앰플 종류 중

현재 피부 상태에 적합한 두 가지 앰플을 신중하게 조합하여 사용합니다.

가령, 건조함과 붉음증이 동시에 나타나는 피부에는

히알루론산을 기반으로 한 수분 앰플과 아줄렌을 기반으로 한 진정 앰플을 함께 적용해볼 수 있습니다.

두 가지 앰플의 시너지를 고려한 조합은 유효 성분의 흡수를 돕고, 기대되는 피부 개선에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있습니다.

선택된 앰플은 단순히 도포하는 것을 넘어, 초음파(소노)를 활용해 진피층까지 유효 성분을 전달합니다.

피부 장벽을 일시적으로 열어 유효 성분이 깊이 전달되도록 도우며, 이는 단순한 표면적 보습을 넘어 피부 속 보습 및 기능 회복에 도움을 줄 수 있습니다.

2. 관리 후 자운고 모델링팩으로 유효 성분 유지

끗 한의원에서는 소노 시술 후 자운고 모델링팩을 적용하여 관리를 마무리합니다.

이 과정은 초음파로 피부 깊숙이 전달된 유효 성분들이 피부 속에 더 오래 머무르도록 돕는 마무리 단계입니다.

자운고는 지유, 감초, 자초, 황기 등 여러 한약재를 기반으로 조성됩니다.

피부 재생과 장벽 강화, 염증 완화에 도움을 줄 수 있으며

모델링팩과 함께 사용할 경우 수분 손실을 막아주고, 피부 온도를 안정화시키는 데 도움을 주어

흡수된 앰플의 유효 성분이 피부에 오랫동안 유지될 수 있도록 기여합니다.

이는 단순히 피부를 진정시키는 팩 이상의 의미를 가집니다.

유효 성분의 흡수를 돕고 관리가 잘 마무리될 수 있도록 하는 과정입니다.

3. 핸들링 시 속도와 압력은 피부 상태에 따라 미세하게 조절됩니다.

Sono procedures go beyond simply delivering ultrasonic energy to the skin,

individual skin characteristics and application methods significantly influence the treatment results.

We

delicately adjust the handling speed of the ultrasound device to match your skin condition.

For severely dehydrated skin, we move slowly to allow the ultrasound to sufficiently penetrate and treat the area,

while for areas with enlarged pores or excessive sebum secretion, we move a bit faster to ensure optimal energy delivery.

For sensitive or reddened skin, we carefully adjust the pressure and speed to minimize irritation.

Pressure is also not maintained uniformly;

we apply different intensities based on the skin thickness and sensitivity of each facial area.

Areas with thin skin, like the cheekbones, and thicker areas, like the jawline,

may show different treatment results with the same speed or pressure.

We standardize all these treatment processes

with a manual, rather than relying solely on the practitioner's subjective perception,

and have a systematic approach to ensure treatments are tailored to individual skin conditions.

4. How do our standards for ampoule and aloe gel usage differ?

In Sono treatments, it's crucial for the active ingredients of the ampoule to be effectively delivered deep into the skin.

If the amount of ampoule used is insufficient, skin friction may occur,

leading to lower ingredient absorption and making it difficult for ultrasonic energy to be effectively delivered.

At our clinic,

we generously apply aloe gel and ampoules, reapplying them frequently during the treatment to ensure the skin surface does not dry out.

Especially when using two or more types of ampoules together,

we meticulously apply each ampoule at least twice to ensure each ingredient is thoroughly delivered to the skin.

Aloe gel is also not applied sparingly, just to cover the surface;

we reapply it to each treatment area to allow the device head to glide smoothly over the skin.

We do not dilute ampoules for use.

This approach goes beyond simply ‘applying generously’;

it sets an important standard for enhancing treatment precision and active ingredient penetration.

Rather than providing a perfunctory treatment with minimal amounts,

it is our principle to use more than the standard amount of ampoules to ensure expected treatment results.

5. We have an operational system designed to maximize the focus on Sono treatments.

While most medical institutions possess treatment know-how,

if appointment schedules are fully booked,

or if multiple staff members are managing several patients simultaneously,

there can sometimes be situations where treatments or care are rushed.

Our clinic operates differently in this regard.

We limit the number of patients treated per day,

and manage appointment density with ample spacing.

This allows us to concentrate on each treatment without being constrained by time.

Through this system, even during Sono treatments, we closely monitor the patient's skin reactions,

and can delicately adjust the ultrasound application mode, intensity, and handling patterns as needed.

Without missing the moment your skin reacts sensitively,

creating an environment where appropriate responses can be made accordingly,

and in this way, high-density care is provided.

6. Your appointment time is your treatment start time. We strictly adhere to appointment schedules.

We consider our clients' time an important part of the treatment process.

We have strived to improve the system of simply taking reservations and incurring waiting times.

If a treatment is delayed by more than 10 minutes from the scheduled time,

we offer a 5% discount for every 10 minutes of delay.

This goes beyond mere compensation for time.

It reflects our commitment to avoid overbooking appointments,

and it is also a principle to maintain focused care density for each client.

Treatments that start reliably at the scheduled time, without waiting,

also help the medical staff performing the procedures maintain optimal condition and focus on each individual client.

Sono (Hydration) Treatment Principle

1. Ultrasonic vibrations that temporarily open the skin barrier

The ultrasound used in Sono treatments delivers fine vibrational energy in the 1~3MHz range to the skin.

These vibrations can temporarily relax the lipid structures between cells on the skin's surface.

High-molecular-weight ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptides

help create pathways for absorption deep into the dermal layer, past the epidermis.

This phenomenon is called the Sonophoresis effect.

2. Thermal stimulation can enhance ingredient absorption.

Ultrasound generates subtle frictional heat within the skin,

leading to a localized warming effect of approximately 1-3 degrees.

This thermal stimulation activates blood circulation and promotes cellular metabolism,

which can contribute to creating an environment where active ingredients in ampoules penetrate the skin more effectively and are retained for longer.

3. Beyond simply supplying moisture, it strengthens the skin's internal moisture retention structure.

Skin hydration is not enough with just simple moisture supply.

True hydration is only possible when the skin's internal structure is equipped to effectively retain moisture.

The dermis of the skin contains key moisture-storing structures composed of collagen, hyaluronic acid, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), etc.

key moisture-storing structures are located.

The subtle mechanical stimulation from ultrasound can activate fibroblasts in the dermis,

which can help promote collagen production and the regeneration of hyaluronic acid-rich extracellular matrix (ECM).

As a result, the skin establishes a foundation to retain and maintain moisture for a longer period.

When Sono (Hydration) Treatment is Needed

1. 'Combination-dry skin' (oily on the surface but dry and tight underneath)

If your skin's surface feels oily and shiny, but makeup doesn't adhere well and the skin underneath feels dry and tight,

this suggests a possible decrease in the dermal layer's ability to store moisture.

Sono hydration treatment effectively delivers hyaluronic acid into the deep dermal layer,

which can contribute to improving hydration that feels like it's rising from within the skin.

2. When skin dryness does not improve even with consistent use of various moisturizers

Even when you apply plenty of moisturizer, your skin might still feel dry or you might notice white flakes appearing.

In such cases, your skin barrier might be weakened, or the absorption of active ingredients might not be optimal.

Ultrasound energy temporarily opens up the spaces between cells in your skin barrier.

This helps the active ingredients in ampoules to be delivered deeper into your skin.

3. Sensitized skin after procedures like laser or peeling

If you feel your skin is red or sensitive immediately after a procedure, or if you think skin regeneration is slow,

Sono hydration treatment focuses on effectively delivering soothing and regenerating ampoule ingredients deep into the skin's dermal layer.

This can promote skin recovery and help soothe any warmth or irritation that may occur after a procedure.

4. Skin where makeup doesn't adhere well and base separates

There are several reasons why makeup doesn't adhere well to your skin and tends to lift,

It's often due to an uneven skin texture or a lack of moisture within the skin.

If you have an important appointment or event coming up, you might consider Sono hydration treatment.

You can experience your skin feeling hydrated and plump, along with improved makeup adhesion.

5. When skin condition easily declines with seasonal changes

During periods of frequent environmental changes, such as seasonal transitions, the rainy season, or winter,

Your skin can react more sensitively to external changes.

This can easily disrupt your skin barrier and the moisture balance within your dermis.

Consistent Sono treatment can help maintain a relatively stable skin condition even as seasons change.

6. Sensitive skin that easily reddens or feels dry from daily irritation

If your skin frequently reddens and gets irritated due to external factors like fine dust, stress, or irregular sleep,

Your skin's protective function might be weakened.

Sono soothing ampoules and the gentle stimulation of ultrasound can help calm and stabilize sensitized skin.

What are the differences between Sono (Hydration) Treatment and LDM, Ionto (Brightening) Treatment?

Sono (Ultrasound) Treatment: Dermal delivery of high molecular weight hydrating ingredients

How it works

Applies ultrasonic vibrations with a frequency of 1-3MHz to the skin.

This temporarily relaxes the lipid structure between cells,

helping large molecular weight hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid to effectively reach the skin's dermal layer.

Suitable Ingredients

High molecular weight water-soluble ampoules such as Hyaluronic Acid, EGF, Peptides, Azulene

Focuses on improving skin's moisture retention and restoring its barrier function.

Recommended for

Inner skin dryness, tightness, flaking, weakened barrier function

Post-procedure soothing care and hydration replenishment

Iontophoresis (Ionto) Treatment: Specialized in penetrating low molecular weight ionic brightening ingredients

How it works

By applying direct current (DC) to the skin,

this method utilizes the charge repulsion of ingredients to deliver active ingredients, in either cationic or anionic form, deep into the skin.

Suitable Ingredients

Ionized low molecular weight active ingredients such as Vitamin C, Arbutin, Tranexamic Acid, Glutathione

Most whitening ingredients carry an electric charge, giving them a property of responding to current flow.

Recommended for

Expected to improve melasma, hyperpigmentation, and dull skin tone.

When combined with laser toning treatments, it can have a more positive effect on whitening care.

LDM (Local Dynamic Micro-massage) is a treatment expected to be effective in helping to control inflammation and restore skin tissue.

How it Works

This treatment is applied to the skin by switching frequencies hundreds to thousands of times per second.

It stabilizes fibroblasts within the skin and helps suppress the production of inflammatory mediators such as MMPs and TNF-α.

This can have a positive effect on assisting the skin regeneration process and strengthening the skin barrier.

Ingredients to Consider During Treatment

The main goal is to induce the skin tissue's self-response rather than injecting specific ingredients.

When performed with soothing and regenerating ampoules, synergistic effects can be expected.

Recommended for

It can be beneficial for managing acne, atopic skin, sensitive skin, and inner dryness.

It is useful for calming heat sensations and alleviating redness that occurs after laser treatments.
