Hello!
I am Dr. Cho Hyuk-chan, Director of Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch.
"Even with makeup, my pores are still visible. It's been bothering me a lot lately."
"My skin elasticity isn't what it used to be, so I feel like I need to start some kind of treatment."
Pore concerns are not something only a few people experience.
As we age, or as the skin becomes drier,
it is a change that gradually happens to everyone through repeated exposure to UV rays.
The problem is that once pores have enlarged, there are limits to what cosmetics alone can achieve.
there are limits to what cosmetics alone can achieve.
You might have experienced using good serums or expensive creams and feeling a temporary improvement,
only for your skin to return to its original state shortly after.
This isn't because the products are bad, but because they only treat the surface of the skin.
A real difference occurs only when changes begin from within the skin, specifically the dermal layer.
Today, I would like to speak honestly about an approach many people are seeking:
the Uijeongbu Genesis Laser.
Uijeongbu Genesis: How does it work?
Genesis is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a long-pulse 1064nm Nd:YAG laser.
a long-pulse 1064nm Nd:YAG laser.
The numbers might seem complicated, so let me explain the core concept simply.
In the dermal layer of our skin, there are cells called fibroblasts.
These cells act as 'factories' that produce collagen.
However, as we age or as external irritation accumulates, these factories slow down.
As collagen decreases, the skin sags,
pores enlarge, and fine lines begin to form.
Genesis delivers laser thermal energy to these fibroblasts,
sending a signal to "start working hard again!"
The long-wavelength Nd:YAG laser generates heat,
causing protein denaturation and stimulating collagen production in the dermis.
The important thing is that this process does not affect the skin surface.
Instead of wounding or peeling the outer layer,
the laser passes through the epidermis to work only in the dermis,
meaning there are almost no visible signs after the procedure.
Which skin concerns can it help with?
Uijeongbu Genesis can help with a wider variety of concerns than you might think.
Since it is based on collagen regeneration,
it works broadly on various skin issues caused by a lack of collagen.
Pore Reduction
When skin elasticity is restored, the tissue around the pores naturally tightens.
It’s not about forcing them shut; the pores shrink as the skin regains its strength.Skin Elasticity Improvement
The stimulation of collagen and elastin regeneration induces skin renewal and elasticity.
It feels like firmness is returning to skin that had lost its volume.Fine Line Reduction
As the dermal layer is filled from within, fine lines on the surface naturally improve.
This is different from methods that forcibly pull or fill the skin.Facial Flushing & Red Marks
It constricts dilated blood vessels and stimulates collagen around them,
inducing new collagen formation to improve facial flushing
and red acne marks effectively.Skin Tone & Texture Refinement
You can expect an overall clearer complexion
and the smoothing of uneven skin texture.
How many sessions are needed to feel the effects?
This is a question we are asked very often.
While results vary by individual, changes generally follow this progression:
📍 Sessions 1–3
This is when the skin texture feels smoother and the tone appears slightly brighter.
Rather than a dramatic change, it feels more like your skin condition has improved.
📍 Sessions 3–5
This is the point where both you and those around you notice
pores becoming visibly smaller and skin elasticity improving.
Improvements in flushing and fine lines often become distinct around this time.
📍 After 5 Sessions
As collagen regeneration accumulates, the effects become more firmly established.
The more consistently you maintain treatment, the longer your skin condition will last.
Genesis is similar to exercise.
Rather than doing it all at once, receiving treatments
at regular intervals leads to much better results.
Those who maintain their pace without rushing
experience the most satisfying outcomes.
Precautions Before and After the Procedure
To maximize the effects, proper care must support the treatment.
Pre-Procedure Checklist
It is best to postpone the treatment if you have consumed excessive alcohol or are extremely fatigued on the day of the procedure.
If you are taking any medications, please inform us during the consultation.
The procedure is not available for those who are pregnant.
Post-Procedure Care Points
There may be slight redness or a warm sensation, but this usually subsides within a few hours.
Please avoid saunas, hot stone rooms, and strenuous exercise for about one week.
Apply moisturizer frequently, and sunscreen is essential when going outdoors.
Please refrain from using scrubs or strong peeling products for the time being.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Can I return to daily life immediately after the procedure?
A. Yes, you can. Since there is no damage to the skin surface,
there are no visible signs immediately after, and it generally does not interfere with daily activities.
Many people visit during their lunch break and return to work immediately.
Q. I have sensitive skin; can I still receive the treatment?
A. Genesis does not directly damage the skin surface,
making it relatively suitable even for sensitive skin.
However, as it can vary depending on individual skin conditions,
it is safest to confirm through a consultation.
Q. Can I receive this along with other treatments?
A. Yes, it is often possible to combine treatments.
We will advise you during the consultation on which combinations are best for your skin condition.
Q. How long do the effects last?
A. It depends on individual skin conditions and lifestyle habits,
and longer-lasting effects can be expected through regular treatments.
Sun protection and moisturizing care significantly impact the maintenance of the results.
Pores, elasticity, flushing... even one concern is bothersome,
but when several overlap, it can feel truly overwhelming.
Uijeongbu Genesis is not a procedure that promises a flashy transformation.
It restores the skin's own power to recover,
creating changes slowly and surely.
Low irritation, maintaining your daily routine,
while experiencing a change from deep within the skin—
that is why so many people consistently choose Genesis.
At Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch, we are with you from consultation to the procedure.
