1/22026.06.21Views 83
1. Laser Hair Removal Clinic (GentleMax Pro Plus)
• Follicle Stimulation: After the procedure, light stimulation to the hair follicles may cause redness, folliculitis (inflammation), or itching. If symptoms are severe, please apply a thin layer of the prescribed ointment or the ointment provided to you.
• Activities to Avoid: To prevent inflammation, it is recommended to avoid excessive sweating from strenuous exercise, saunas, public baths (Jjimjilbang), and alcohol consumption for about 1 week after the treatment.
• No Plucking/Waxing: Tweezing, waxing, or tanning during the treatment period is strictly prohibited, as it causes severe irritation to the skin.
2. Petit Clinic (Botox / Fat-Dissolving Injections)
[General Precautions]
• Light facial washing and makeup are permitted starting from the day of the procedure.
• To prevent inflammation at the treated site, it is highly recommended to avoid excessive drinking, smoking, saunas, strenuous exercise, and deep tissue/facial massages (Gyeongrak) for approximately 3–5 days.
• Slight bruising, swelling, or temporary embossing (bumpy needle marks) may occur depending on the individual, but these typically subside naturally within a few days.
• Applying heat to the treated area, such as through high-frequency (RF) treatments or hot compresses, can reduce the effectiveness of the toxin and medication. Please avoid this for about 3–5 days.
• You may experience temporary stiffness, heaviness, or numbness after the procedure. This is a natural reaction as the muscles shrink or the medication takes effect.
[Specific Precautions]
• Masseter (Jaw) / Salivary Gland Botox: Avoid tough or hard foods to prevent compensatory muscle development. Temporary dry mouth may occur after salivary gland treatments; please stay well-hydrated.
• Wrinkle / Skin Botox: After forehead Botox, your eyelids may feel somewhat heavy or your facial expressions may feel awkward. Light compresses and gentle massages can help, and it typically improves within 1–2 weeks.
• Body / Hyperhidrosis Botox: After calf or thigh injections, you may experience temporary leg weakness or muscle fatigue between weeks 2 and 4. Please exercise caution when climbing stairs, wearing high heels, or driving. After trapezius or upper arm treatments, avoid carrying heavy loads or bags on only one shoulder. Grip strength may slightly decrease temporarily after palm hyperhidrosis treatments.
• Fat-Dissolving Injections (Contour / V-Olet, etc.): Gently massage the treated area for 2–3 days to ensure the medication distributes evenly. Mild stinging or aching may occur at the injection site but will improve within a few days. In rare cases, temporary facial flushing, changes in the menstrual cycle, or irregular spotting/bleeding may occur due to the medication components (such as traces of steroids). These are temporary symptoms that typically resolve spontaneously within a few days. However, if the symptoms persist, please contact the clinic.
3. Anti-Aging / Lifting Clinic
[General Precautions]
• Immediately after the procedure, deep thermal energy delivery may cause temporary redness, a hot sensation, or mild aching, which usually subsides within a few hours.
• Your skin may feel significantly drier than usual after lifting treatments. Please apply a generous amount of moisturizing and regenerative creams.
• In addition to any immediate response, the full lifting effects appear gradually over 2–4 weeks as collagen regenerates. The efficacy and duration depend on individual skin thickness and elasticity.
• If any abnormal symptoms such as blisters or persistent vesicles appear, please immediately contact FOREVER CLINIC Myeongdong and visit the clinic.
[Specific Precautions]
• RF (Radiofrequency) Lifting (Thermage FLX, Onda, Inmode, Potenza, AllTight, Silfirm X, etc.): Maintaining the internal thermal energy generated within the skin for 2–3 days is highly beneficial for collagen production. Therefore, please avoid excessive cold compresses or washing your face with freezing cold water. Inmode treatments may leave cupping-like bruises or marks that last for 1–2 weeks. Particularly after microneedle treatments like Potenza or Silfirm X, fine redness and scabs may form on the skin surface. To prevent severe dryness, you must apply moisturizing cream much more frequently than usual.
• Ultrasound Lifting (Ultherapy Prime, Shurink Universe): Mild white stripe-like swelling (stripe phenomenon) may occasionally appear on the skin surface. A light, cool compress can help, and it typically resolves within 2–4 hours.
• Titanium Lifting: Since this treatment provides an immediate skin-brightening effect, please pay extra attention to sun protection to maintain the results.
4. Laser / Skincare Clinic (Pigmentation, Pores, Moles, Tattoos)
[General Precautions]
• Applying sunscreen thoroughly is the most important step after laser treatments to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
• Washing your face and light makeup are permitted starting the day after the treatment. Please avoid rubbing the treated area forcefully.
• If fine scabs form, do not scratch or force them off to prevent scarring. Focus heavily on moisturizing and let them slough off naturally.
• Pigmentation or mole removal generally requires repeated sessions spaced at recommended intervals to achieve optimal and satisfactory results, rather than a single session.
[Specific Precautions]
• Pigmentation / Pore Lasers (Pico Toning, Accento, Genesis, Lucas Toning, Derma V, CO2, etc.): The skin can become temporarily sensitive and dry after the procedure. Generous hydration is required; please avoid using harsh toner pads, home chemical peels, or gritty exfoliating scrubs for the time being.
• Mole / Flat Wart Removal (CO2) & Pico Tattoo Removal:
- Regeneration Tape (Hydrocolloid/Duoderm) Management: Keep the protective tape applied during the weeping/exudate phase (typically 7–10 days; up to 14 days for deep lesions). Light washing and showering are safe with the tape on. The white bubbling under the tape is a natural, beneficial exudate that aids skin regeneration; do not change the tape too frequently unless it overflows or peels off at the edges.
- Recovery Management: Residual red or pink marks at the treated site may persist for 3–6 months depending on individual cellular renewal rates. It fades gradually over time. Once you stop wearing the tape, apply a dedicated regeneration cream consistently.
- Allergic Reaction: If severe swelling, redness, or extreme itching (allergic reaction) occurs matching the shape of the tape, remove it immediately and contact the clinic.
5. Injection / Skin Booster Clinic (Filler, Thread Lifting, Rejuran / Juvelook, etc.)
[General Precautions]
• To prevent infection and inflammation, please avoid excessive drinking, smoking, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 3–5 days.
• Please complete the full course of prescribed antibiotics or medications as directed by the doctor to ensure proper infection prevention.
• FOREVER CLINIC Myeongdong conducts a follow-up call ("Happy Call") the day after your procedure to check on your recovery. Please answer our call so we can verify your status.
• If you experience worsening pain accompanied by a hot sensation at the treated site, if the skin turns dark red/purplish, or if blisters appear, do not delay. Please immediately contact FOREVER CLINIC Myeongdong and visit for medical evaluation.
[Specific Precautions]
• Filler & Collagen Boosters (HA Filler, Sculptra, Radiesse, etc.): The product requires time to securely integrate and settle into the tissue. Avoid pressing, squeezing, or rubbing the treated area forcefully (e.g., wearing tight hats/glasses, sleeping face down, or deep massages). A temporary foreign body sensation is normal and will fade as it settles.
• Thread Lifting (Mint Thread, Jamber Thread, etc.): Premium, bio-absorbable medical threads that safely dissolve inside the body are used. Early on, you may feel a pulling sensation, minor dimpling, or awkwardness when opening your mouth wide or smiling. This resolves naturally over a few weeks. If a thread tip is felt or becomes visible under the skin, please contact the clinic for appropriate adjustments.
• Skin Boosters (Rejuran, Juvelook, Gouri, Metacell, etc.): Due to the nature of injecting directly into the dermal layer of the skin, temporary needle marks or bumpy "embossing" papules may appear on the surface. Efficacy and absorption vary by skin condition, but they are typically fully absorbed within a few days to a week.
