Cumulative UV damage causing texture, spots and laxity. Common causes include years of UV exposure. Because several factors are often involved at once, Gangnam clinics usually begin with a skin or facial analysis and then combine treatments rather than relying on a single procedure.

How doctors build a plan
A typical plan starts with the least invasive option that matches the cause, then adds stronger treatments if needed. Many visitors combine a device treatment with an injectable on the same day, but your doctor should confirm what can be safely combined and how far apart sessions should be.
