Neobeam in Geumgok-dong: 5 Things to Check Before You Go

Before getting Neobeam, five things are checked: current acne condition, medications being taken or applied, recently received treatments, reactions after past treatments, and your schedule after the treatment. If you are researching Neobeam in Geumgok-dong, simply organizing these five things in advance will make the consultation go much more smoothly.

• We check whether it's currently a period of severe inflammatory acne, or whether excess sebum is the main concern.
• Oral and topical acne medications can affect the timing of the treatment.
• Redness can remain for a few days after the treatment, so we check your schedule in advance.

Is my current skin condition suitable for considering Neobeam?

Neobeam is a laser that delivers heat to the sebaceous glands beneath the skin using 1450nm wavelength energy, and it is used for acne concerns related to sebum production. That's why the consultation first looks separately at whether the current concern stems from excess sebum or from a period of severe inflammation.

If red, pus-filled acne is spread widely or the skin has wounds, the inflammation may be calmed first and the treatment schedule set again later. Whether to proceed and how are determined through the medical staff's examination and consultation.

• We check whether the skin is oily and shiny with sebum and whether the pores are frequently clogged.
• We check how many pus-filled pimples are currently present.
• We check whether acne scars or red marks are also present.

If excess sebum is the main concern, Neobeam may be included in the plan; if there are many pus-filled pimples, the plan may separate inflammation care and treatment order. The order in which things proceed is decided after directly examining the skin.

Why do I need to mention oral and topical medications in advance?

Some oral acne medications can make the skin thinner and more sensitive, which can affect how it responds to the laser. If you are taking, or have recently stopped taking, medication containing isotretinoin, you must let us know during the consultation.

Topical retinoid ointments and cosmetics containing exfoliating ingredients may also need to be paused for a few days before and after the treatment. If you don't remember the medication's name, you can bring a photo of the medicine packet or prescription. If you are taking antibiotics, birth control pills, or hormone-related medication, please mention that as well, as it helps in understanding your skin condition.

What reactions and side effects should I know about before the treatment?

Right after the treatment, redness, warmth, and mild swelling may occur, and these usually subside within a few hours to a few days. Results and reactions vary by individual, and if the skin is thin or sensitive, the redness may last a bit longer.

• You may feel like acne is temporarily flaring up more.
• Dryness and fine flaking may occur.
• Rarely, blistering, scabbing, or pigmentation may occur.

If your skin tone is darker or brown marks have remained after a laser treatment in the past, please let us know in advance. This is taken into account when determining the energy and aftercare. If such a reaction becomes unusually severe, please contact the clinic and show us your condition rather than applying extra ointment at home.

How should I spend the day before, the day of, and the days after the treatment?

The day before the treatment, avoid skin-stimulating care such as exfoliation or facial waxing, and try not to spend too much time in the sun. On the day of the treatment, you can come wearing makeup, as the face is cleansed before the procedure.

After the treatment, you can mostly go about your daily life as usual, but for a few days, please cut down on saunas, intense exercise, and drinking alcohol, and pay attention to sun protection. Apply plenty of moisturizer and avoid touching your face with your hands.

Neobeam is often given in multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart, so it helps to get a rough visit schedule at your first consultation. Mark your calendar in advance so it doesn't overlap with trips, exams, or other events.

A Checklist to Prepare Before Booking a Consultation in Geumgok-dong

If you're considering a treatment near Geumgok-dong after work or on the weekend, organize the items below in advance. They cover exactly what will be checked during the consultation.

• When the acne started and when it tends to worsen (before your period, during exam periods, etc.)
• The names of medications you are taking or applying
• Any laser treatments, peels, or pore extractions received in the past month
• Any events within the week, such as a wedding, photoshoot, or trip

FAQ

Q. Can I get treatment during my period?

A. You can still have the treatment, but some people find their skin more sensitive and feel more stinging during this time. If you're concerned about discomfort, you can also schedule the appointment to avoid your period.

Q. Is it okay to come wearing makeup?

A. That's fine. Your face will be cleansed before the treatment, and you can reapply makeup once the redness after the treatment has calmed down.

Q. What should I do if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

A. If you are pregnant, may be pregnant, or are breastfeeding, please let us know first during the consultation. The treatment is often postponed during this time.

Q. Can I get the treatment on the same day as the consultation?

A. If there are no issues with your skin condition or medications, and the schedule allows, it may be done on the same day as the consultation. If inflammation is severe or there is medication that needs to be confirmed, the date will be rescheduled.

Q. Are there any cosmetics I need to prepare separately before the treatment?

A. There isn't much you need to newly prepare — just have a low-irritation moisturizer and sunscreen on hand. Please pause any products containing exfoliating ingredients for a few days before and after the treatment.
