SONO Hydration Management, Moist Ultrasonic Care for Dry Skin!

Sono (Hydration) Management: What Makes Our Clinic Special

1. Two types of ampoules are selectively applied according to skin type.

We don't simply use a single hyaluronic acid ampoule just because the skin is dry.

We combine two ampoules suitable for your current skin condition and deliver them to the dermis layer using ultrasound. This enhances the absorption of the ampoules and contributes to the effective action of their active ingredients.

2. After the procedure, Jaungo modeling pack is used to stabilize the active ingredients.

After the ampoules are delivered deep into the skin, we proceed with the finishing step using a Jaungo modeling pack.

This process aids in the recovery and calming of the skin barrier, as well as moisture retention, contributing to the longevity of the treatment's effects.

3. Handling speed and pressure are adjusted considering the skin condition.

We delicately assess various skin reactions such as pore condition, presence of redness, and degree of inner dryness, and adjust the handling speed accordingly.

The intensity of the procedure is adjusted considering the skin thickness of each facial area. The procedure is performed in a standardized manner based on the experience of skilled practitioners.

4. Ampoules are applied multiple times as needed, and aloe gel is also used sufficiently.

We do not adjust the amount or dilute ampoules to conserve them.

Ampoules are used in an appropriate amount, calculated to effectively penetrate the dermis layer, not just applied superficially.

During the ultrasound procedure, aloe gel is replenished frequently to necessary areas to prevent it from drying, minimizing ultrasound transmission loss and ensuring a smooth procedure.

5. Operating System for Highly Focused Procedures

We operate a relaxed appointment system to allow us to fully concentrate on each individual patient.

From consultation to post-treatment care, one dedicated staff member is responsible for the entire process, and adjustments are made flexibly according to the patient's reactions during the procedure.

6. Your appointment time is your procedure start time, and discounts are applied if waiting times are prolonged.

We avoid excessive bookings to reduce unnecessary waiting times and provide highly focused procedures.

If your procedure is delayed due to exceeding the scheduled appointment time, we apply a 5% discount for every 10 minutes, upholding our commitment to you.

Sono (Hydration) Management: The Special Approach Our Clinic Pursues

1. Customized ampoule combination and enhanced penetration based on individual skin condition

At our clinic, we do not insist on using hyaluronic acid ampoule alone simply because of skin dryness.

We precisely diagnose the patient's skin condition and carefully combine two ampoules from a variety of options—hydration, brightening, soothing, regeneration, etc.—

that are deemed most suitable for the current skin condition.

For example, for skin experiencing both dryness and redness,

we might apply a combination of a hydrating ampoule primarily composed of hyaluronic acid and a soothing ampoule based on azulene.

A combination that considers the synergistic interaction of two ampoules can enhance ampoule absorption and bring about a synergy for overall skin improvement.

The carefully selected ampoules are not merely applied to the skin surface; they are delivered deep into the dermis layer using an ultrasound (sono) device.

This process temporarily opens the skin barrier to help active ingredients penetrate effectively. Beyond simple surface moisturizing, it aims to fill the skin deep with moisture and restore overall skin function.

2. Continued ampoule absorption after treatment with Jaungo modeling pack

At our clinic, we always apply a Jaungo modeling pack after completing a Sono treatment.

This process is a finishing step that helps the active ingredients delivered deep into the skin via ultrasound to remain within the skin for an extended period.

Jaungo is formulated based on carefully selected herbal medicines such as Jiyu, Licorice, Zicao, and Hwanggi.

It helps skin regeneration, strengthens the barrier, and can contribute to inflammation reduction.

When combined with a modeling pack, it helps prevent moisture loss and comfortably stabilizes skin temperature.

Through these actions, it helps maintain the effects of the absorbed ampoules for a long time.

This is not just a simple finishing pack.

It is a process focused on maintaining the absorption state of active ingredients within the skin.

3. Handling speed and pressure are meticulously adjusted to match individual skin conditions

What's important in Sono treatments goes beyond simply applying ultrasound to the skin.

How it is delivered, tailored to each skin condition, plays a crucial role.

At our clinic,

we adjust the equipment handling speed differently according to the skin condition.

For skin with severe inner dryness, the device is moved slowly to ensure sufficient ultrasound energy delivery.

Conversely, for areas with enlarged pores or excessive sebum secretion, rapid movements are used to enhance penetration.

For sensitive or reddened skin, treatments are performed delicately using minimal pressure and speed to reduce irritation.

The treatment pressure is also not maintained at a constant intensity.

This is because it's crucial to adjust the pressure's intensity based on the skin thickness and sensitivity of each facial area.

For example, areas with thin skin like the cheekbones and thicker areas like the jawline,

if treated at the same speed, may not yield the expected results.

All these processes are

conducted based on a standardized manual rather than solely relying on the practitioner's personal judgment.

We have established a systematic approach to ensure delicate handling tailored to each skin condition.

4. The amount of ampoule and aloe gel used is also important.

In Sono treatments, it's crucial that the active ingredients of the ampoule are effectively delivered deep into the skin.

If insufficient ampoule is used, friction can occur on the skin,

which can reduce ingredient absorption and hinder ultrasound energy delivery.

Considering these points,

we apply a sufficient amount of aloe gel and ampoule, reapplying periodically during the treatment to ensure the skin surface does not dry out.

Especially when using multiple types of ampoules together,

each type of ampoule is applied at least twice to ensure effective absorption of its ingredients.

Aloe gel is also not applied lightly only to the surface in small amounts.

It is reapplied to necessary areas as the treatment progresses, ensuring the device head moves smoothly and continuously over the skin.

To maintain the concentration of the ampoule's ingredients, we never dilute it to save on quantity.

This goes beyond simply applying a lot of ampoule.

It serves as an important standard for enhancing treatment precision and the penetration of active ingredients.

Rather than settling for perfunctory care with small amounts,

we adhere to the principle of using more than the standard amount of ampoule to achieve the desired effects.

5. During Sono treatments, high-density, focused care is provided.

While many medical institutions possess treatment techniques,

when appointments are tightly scheduled,

or when multiple staff members manage numerous patients simultaneously,

there's a possibility that the treatment process may be rushed and simplified.

To improve such environments, we operate our treatment system differently.

By limiting the number of patients per day,

we operate with relaxed appointment intervals, allowing sufficient time for treatments.

We create an environment where we can fully concentrate on each treatment without feeling rushed.

In this manner, even during Sono treatments, we closely monitor the patient's skin for subtle reactions in real-time,

and can flexibly adjust the irradiation mode, intensity, and even handling patterns as needed.

carefully identifying periods when the skin becomes sensitive,

we prioritize creating an environment where customized care can be provided accordingly.

This meticulous process forms the foundation for providing highly satisfying and comprehensive care.

6. We adhere to our appointment schedule by starting treatments precisely at your reserved time.

We highly value the time of our visitors throughout the treatment process.

To minimize unnecessary waiting, we avoid simply taking reservations and then making you wait.

If your appointment is delayed by more than 10 minutes from the scheduled time,

we offer a system that provides a 5% discount on the treatment fee for every 10 minutes of delay.

This system goes beyond simply compensating for time delays.

It demonstrates our commitment to not overbook appointments,

and it is a crucial principle for maintaining the quality of personalized care focused on each individual.

Treatments that start precisely at the scheduled time, without waiting and with focused attention,

are an ideal system that also helps our medical staff to be in optimal condition and focus on each and every client.

Sono (Hydration) Treatment Principle

1. Temporarily opens the skin barrier with ultrasonic vibrations.

The ultrasound used during Sono treatment delivers subtle vibratory energy in the 1-3 MHz range to the skin.

These vibrations help to temporarily relax the intercellular lipid structure of the skin's epidermis.

This allows macromolecular active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptides to

pass through the epidermis and create a pathway to reach the deeper dermis layer of the skin.

This phenomenon is referred to as the Sonophoresis effect.

2. Enhances ingredient absorption through thermal stimulation.

Ultrasound generates subtle frictional heat within the skin,

which can raise the temperature of the treated area by approximately 1-3 degrees Celsius.

This thermal stimulation contributes to improved blood circulation and activated cellular metabolism.

As a result, an environment can be created where ampoule ingredients are better absorbed and can remain in the skin for longer.

3. Beyond simply supplying moisture, it creates a structure that enables the skin to retain moisture on its own.

Skin hydration is not merely sufficient by simply replenishing moisture from the outside.

True hydration is achieved when the skin's internal structure can maintain and store moisture on its own.

In the skin's dermal layer, structures comprised of collagen, hyaluronic acid, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), etc.

form important moisture-retaining structures.

The subtle physical stimulation of ultrasound activates fibroblasts within the dermis,

which can induce the regeneration of collagen and the restructuring of the extracellular matrix (ECM), including hyaluronic acid.

Through this, the skin can be helped to recover its ability to effectively hold and retain moisture.

Recommended for Sono (Hydration) Treatment

1. For those with 'inner-dry oily skin,' where the surface feels oily but the skin feels tight underneath.

If your skin surface appears shiny but makeup tends to flake off and you feel tightness deep within your skin,

it's possible that the moisture-retaining ability of your skin's dermal layer has decreased.

Sono hydration treatment helps active ingredients like hyaluronic acid to be well-absorbed into the dermal layer.

As a result, you can expect a hydrating effect that feels like it's coming from deep within the skin.

2. If skin dryness does not easily improve despite consistent use of various moisturizers.

If you've experienced persistent dryness and flakiness even after applying moisturizer,

This can be a sign that your skin barrier function is weakened or the absorption pathways for active ingredients are not efficient.

Ultrasound energy temporarily softens the structure of the skin barrier,

which can help create pathways for active ingredients like ampoules to be delivered deeper into the skin.

3. If your skin has become sensitive after treatments like lasers or peels

You might consider this treatment if your skin appears red or easily irritated, and its recovery seems slow after other procedures.

Sono hydration management focuses on delivering ampoule ingredients that can aid in skin soothing and regeneration to the dermal layer.

This can positively influence the skin's soothing and recovery process, helping to reduce heat and irritation.

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

There are several reasons why makeup might not absorb well into the skin and slide off,

but it tends to be more prominent when the skin texture is uneven and lacks internal moisture.

If you consider Sono hydration management before an important event,

you may experience a feeling of deep hydration in your skin along with improved makeup adhesion.

5. Those whose skin condition rapidly deteriorates with seasonal changes

During various environmental changes such as seasonal transitions, monsoon season, or dry winter,

skin that reacts sensitively to external environmental changes and feels uncomfortable

can easily have its skin barrier function and moisture balance in the dermal layer disrupted.

Consistent Sono management can help maintain a relatively stable skin condition even amidst seasonal changes.

6. Sensitive skin that easily reddens or feels tight from daily irritations

If your skin frequently reddens and gets irritated due to various factors such as fine dust, mental stress, or insufficient sleep,

it's possible that your skin's protective functions are weakened.

The micro-energy of ultrasound, applied with sono calming ampoules, can help soothe and stabilize skin that has become sensitive due to external irritations.

What are the differences between Sono (Hydration) Management, LDM, and Ionto (Whitening) Management?

Sono (Ultrasound) Management: Primarily aims to deliver high-molecular-weight hydrating ingredients to the dermal layer of the skin.

Mechanism of Action

It delivers ultrasonic vibrations at a frequency of 1-3MHz to the skin tissue.

This temporarily makes the intercellular lipid structure more flexible,

helping larger molecular weight hydrating ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, to be delivered more efficiently to the dermal layer.

Recommended Ingredients

High-molecular-weight water-soluble ampoule ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, EGF, peptides, and azulene are primarily utilized.

It focuses on improving the skin's moisture retention ability and barrier recovery.

Target Audience

Those interested in addressing inner skin dryness, tightness, flakiness, and weakened barrier function.

Cases requiring skin soothing and sufficient hydration after other treatments.

Iontophoresis (Ionto) Management: A treatment specialized in penetrating low-molecular-weight ionic whitening ingredients.

Mechanism of Action

It involves applying a weak direct current (DC) to the skin,

utilizing the repulsion of charges to deliver cationic or anionic ingredients deep into the skin.

Mainly Utilized Ingredients

This includes low-molecular-weight ingredients that can be ionized, such as Vitamin C, arbutin, tranexamic acid, and glutathione.

Most whitening ingredients have an electric charge and are affected by electric current.

Indications

It can help manage melasma, pigmentation, and dull-looking skin tone.

When combined with laser toning procedures, synergistic effects can be expected for whitening management.

LDM (Local Dynamic Micro-massage) is primarily used to help control inflammatory responses and promote skin tissue recovery.

Working Principle

The frequency switches hundreds to thousands of times per second.

It can help stabilize fibroblasts and suppress the activity of inflammation-related mediators such as MMPs and TNF-α.

It can aid in skin regeneration and contribute to creating a healthy skin barrier.

Suitable Ingredients

The main purpose is to induce the skin tissue's spontaneous response rather than introducing specific ingredients.

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

Indications

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

It can help calm the heat sensation after laser procedures and reduce redness.
