Korean Skin Healer is safe as long as administered by an experienced doctor. At Astute Medical Clinic, our esteemed staff of doctors and therapists are highly trained and will always cater treatment plans based on individual client's concerns and needs. Adverse effects for Korean Skin Healer are also rare. After the injections, there may be some swelling that usually lasts 1-2 days. Occasionally bruising can occur and that last about 3-5 days.

As the treatment involves injections into the skin, discomfort is kept to a minimum through proper clinical preparation. Numbing cream is applied to the face prior to the treatment. It serves to minimise pain around the injection sites. This applies to the Korean Skin Healer range: Korean Skin Repair (for acne concerns), Korean Sparkling Eye (for eyes), and also Korean Hydro Booster (which includes a numbing effect). Patients may still experience some form of discomfort when the needle is inserted into the skin. Thus, it is largely determined by your pain threshold. In most cases, it is mild to moderate.

An ideal candidate for the Korean Skin Healer treatment is someone with dull, saggy skin or individuals who are troubled by fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment is great for enlarged pores, sensitive skin, and even acne scars. Anyone who needs a skin healing treatment and is otherwise healthy can take advantage of this skin rejuvenation treatment. Please note that this treatment is not primarily targeted at patients with acne scars. If you are troubled by acne conditions, the other range within the Korean Skin Healer series, Korean Skin Repair, will be more suitable for you.

The Korean Skin Healer is a minimally invasive treatment with an excellent safety profile. Because it involves precise micro-injections, temporary localized skin reactions are normal and typically resolve on their own within a few days. Common, Short-Term Effects: Temporary Bumps (Papules): Small, localized bumps will appear at the injection sites immediately following the procedure. This is completely normal as the formula is deposited into the skin layer; these bumps typically absorb and flatten out within 24 to 48 hours. Mild Redness and Swelling: Slight flushing or mild swelling around the treated areas is common immediately after the session and usually subsides within 1 to 2 days. Minor Bruising: Because a fine needle is used, minor pinpoint bruising may occasionally occur, especially in more delicate areas. This can easily be covered with makeup once the injection points close and typically fades within a week. Minimizing Discomfort and Downtime: To help accelerate your skin’s natural recovery and immediately calm any post-treatment redness, soothing post-care options such as LED light therapy or Cryotherapy can be seamlessly integrated into your session.

While a single session provides a brief boost in hydration, the true, long-lasting cellular repair is cumulative. For optimal and sustained tissue restoration, a foundational series of 3 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart, is highly recommended. Following this initial protocol, maintenance sessions every 6 months will help extend your radiant, healthy results.
