My skin texture is rough and dull, what should I get?

Dullness is broadly divided into pigmentation-related, dead-skin-cell/dryness-related, and vascular-related types, and is distinguished through magnified examination and evaluation of the skin condition. The pigmentation type involves an increase in melanin due to cumulative UV exposure, accompanied by melasma or spots, and the overall complexion appears dark. The dead-skin-cell/dryness type involves accumulated dead skin cells and lack of moisture, causing uneven light reflection and a lackluster, dull appearance. The vascular type involves redness or a flushed look mixed in, making the complexion appear muddy.

Because the three types are often mixed, it is more advantageous for results to identify the main cause through an examination and set priorities rather than choosing a procedure based on self-diagnosis.

Procedures that directly stimulate collagen in the dermis are suitable for improving texture, pores, and fine lines together. Representative examples include Virtue RF, POTENZA, and DoubleTite, which deliver radiofrequency energy to the dermis through microneedles to induce collagen regeneration, and can be expected to improve pores, fine lines, and skin texture simultaneously. JUVELOOK is also used to refine skin texture and elasticity by inducing autologous collagen production, and it shows good synergy when combined with microneedle radiofrequency procedures.

For those who find needle stimulation burdensome, an alternative may be to inject a Skin Booster using a needle-free laser jet such as Mirajet, CureJet, or SkinJet, which penetrates the medication without needles. Regardless of the combination, rather than trying to solve all problems at once, the degree of improvement tends to be greater when procedures are spaced out and performed step by step according to the skin condition.

For Skin Boosters, a basic course of 3 sessions at approximately 4-week intervals is common, but this varies depending on the type of Skin Booster and the individual's skin condition. In many cases, the improvement in texture and elasticity becomes more noticeable as sessions are repeated.

Similarly, laser-based treatments are usually performed over several sessions depending on the pigmentation and pore condition. However, the required number of sessions varies greatly between individuals depending on skin thickness, pigment depth, and lifestyle habits, so rather than promising a fixed number, it is reasonable to adjust while monitoring progress.

Yes, home care is an essential element for maintaining treatment effects and delaying recurrence. The key points are three: applying SPF 30 or higher sunscreen daily (to prevent pigmentation-related dullness), sufficient moisturizing (to improve dead-skin-cell/dryness-related issues), and gentle care that avoids excessive cleansing and scrubbing. In particular, without sun protection, pigmentation can easily darken again regardless of the procedure received.

Exfoliating ingredients (low-concentration AHA/BHA) or retinoids can help improve texture, but depending on the concentration and frequency of use, irritation may occur, so it is safe to confirm a usage method suitable for your skin type. Immediately after a procedure, gentle care appropriate for the recovery period takes priority, so it is recommended to discuss and set your home care routine together with a specialist alongside your treatment plan.
