Q I removed the redness with laser treatment, but it came back over time. How is Korean medicine treatment different?
A Laser erases the broken capillaries that are already visible, but the cause of new redness remains, so it can recur over time. The strength of Korean medicine lies in addressing the internal tendency for heat to shift toward the face, reducing how often the redness returns.
Detailed Answer
Vascular laser effectively reduces visible capillary dilation, but it cannot change the tendency for the face to flush easily and for inflammation to recur. As a result, without ongoing management, the redness often returns after a certain period.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Rather than the surface redness, Dongjedang focuses on why heat keeps floating up to the face. By lowering and cooling the upward-floating heat and draining internal heat-toxin, the face no longer flushes as easily—helping the effects of procedures last longer and lengthening the interval between recurrences.
