Pico + Hyaluronic Acid Injection: I went to MaisondeM Dermatology in Gangnam for a treatment, and my Korean friend said my skin was glowing!
A friend who studied in South Korea once told me, “The Dermatology clinics in Gangnam are completely different from those in the urban areas of Seoul. The environment, the skills of the doctors, and the post-treatment services are all on a completely different level.” I never took it seriously, thinking that it was just a laser treatment after all – why not get it done anywhere? It wasn’t until I booked a Pico laser treatment combined with a Skin Booster injection at MaisondeM’s Dermatology clinic in Gangnam that I realized… it was truly a whole different world.
I. Why was MaisondeM Dermatology in Gangnam chosen in the end?
To be honest, at first I also searched for many Dermatology clinics in Gangnam online, and the reviews were mixed. Later, I came across maisondeM’s SNS account. The case photos posted there weren’t those heavily edited “fake pictures” where the original appearance of the patients could no longer be recognized; instead, they were real follow-up photos taken one or two months after the surgeries. That kind of confidence, that “I just want you to see the actual results,” convinced me to make an appointment and give it a try.
I made my reservation directly on the BeautsGO platform and chose MaisondeM. The entire process was handled by Chinese customer service, so there was no need to know Korean at all. After the reservation was confirmed, I received a notification message via SMS, which was really reliable.
II. MaisondeM Dermatology’s Pico Laser Treatment – Solving the Problems of Freckles, Pores, and Acne Scars All at Once
MaisondeM uses the Clarity II dual-wavelength laser device for Pico laser treatments. The principle behind this technology is to break down melanin into tiny particles through ultra-short pulse durations (in Pico seconds), allowing the body to naturally eliminate them later on. Before the procedure, a dermatologist will use a skin analysis instrument to evaluate your skin type, determine the depth and type of the pigmentation spots, and then set the appropriate energy parameters for the treatment.
My main issues are freckles on my Forehead and jawline, as well as enlarged Pores on my cheeks. The doctor recommended a Pico treatment for my entire face, with special emphasis on the areas affected by these spots. The whole procedure took about 20 minutes, and the pain was completely tolerable after applying the anesthetic – it was similar to the sensation of having your face pulled tight by an elastic band.
The face may turn slightly red after the procedure, but most of the redness subsides within about 30 minutes after applying the soothing mask. The doctor specifically emphasized that it is essential to use sunscreen with an SPF of 50+ every day for one week after the surgery. This is really very important!
III. Skin Booster Hyaluronic Acid Injection at MaisondeM Dermatology in Gangnam – Hydrating the skin is a essential step for South Korean women.
After the Pico treatment, the doctor said, “Your skin condition is perfect for a Skin Booster treatment; we are offering a discount package right now.” Without hesitation, I agreed—because in South Korea, hyaluronic acid injections are basically a routine procedure for every woman who visits a Dermatology clinic.
MaisondeM’s Skin Booster uses Rejuran or Juvederm series hyaluronic acid injections. Which specific product is used will be determined by the doctor based on the degree of dryness in your skin. I have skin that is oily on the outside but dry on the inside, and my doctor recommended Rejuran Booster, saying that it provides more lasting hydration.
Hydrofiller injections are administered using a needle insertion technique, and the doctor will adjust the depth of injection according to the degree of dryness in different areas of the face. This is also why it is essential to choose an experienced doctor – incorrect injection angles or depths can significantly reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. MaisondeM’s doctors perform the injections very evenly, resulting in only slight bumps after the procedure, which disappear completely within two days.
The feeling after receiving the Skin Booster treatment is that the skin exudes a genuine “moisture from within”, not the artificial smoothness achieved by applying topical creams on the surface, but rather a true sense of hydration at the deeper levels of the skin. This effect is particularly noticeable when applying makeup – the base makeup doesn’t need to be powdered, and the makeup holds throughout the day.
III. One month after the procedure at MaisondeM Dermatology in Gangnam – A friend from South Korea said my skin was glowing.
On the 3rd day after the procedure: The redness had completely subsided, and I began to notice that my skin had become smoother.
On the 7th day after the procedure: When washing my face, I felt that my entire face was glowing, and the size of my Pores appeared to have decreased by about 30%.
On the 14th day after the procedure: The dark spots have noticeably faded, and I can now use a lighter shade of foundation.
30 days after the procedure: While dining with a friend from South Korea, she said, “Oh, your skin is really glowing!” This comment confirmed that I had made the right choice.
