And while it would be a dream to experience all of these things in the country itself, <strong>Hernel Korean Aesthetic Clinic</strong> is bringing the K-beauty treatments to you. This newly-opened clinic is the premier destination for authentic K-beauty treatments, specializing in the latest innovations in skincare, cosmetic enhancements, and rejuvenation techniques brought directly from Korea. They offer a diverse range of services that reflect the essence of Korean beauty and technology.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/7cb422f4-240f-4192-85ad-76a8131397a7_372893522_1513739626125795_2179527069720114149_n copy.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/f9bcde15-553d-493d-9b28-5fbf46ad4113_384780276_217722027981617_791111363885871626_n.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>Heading the clinic is Dr. Young Cho—a highly-respected South Korean dermatologist who has stayed in the Philippines for over a year. He wants to essentially “bring a touch of Seoul to Manila” and top priority is to learn what Filipinos’ most in demand procedures are and introduce some of the procedures that are popular in Korea and marry the two. They have a range of services that include skin toning and rejuvenation, skin brightening, skin boosters, HIFU Laser, Fillers, Botox, and others.</p><div><br/></div><div

regimen currently followed by Jennie of Blackpink at a different beauty clinic in Korea. </p><div><br/></div><div><em>So Metro.Style headed to the clinic to see what the new Korean aesthetic clinic was all about.</em></div><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/ad5dfc60-9d9c-4da3-9ea1-b4f636c87f8c_372659394_1399645950953365_1976649899543450139_n copy.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>The Consult</strong></div><p>First off, they JANUS Pro, their #3D Skin Analysis machine that will give you an in-depth overview of your skin’s current condition. You’ll be able to see your skin type, areas that need improvement, and a quick recommendation from the data given. Next up, you’ll go two floors up where Dr. Cho himself will consult with you. He’ll thoroughly explain all the conclusions gathered from the data and will then give you the recommended treatment that can improve your skin.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/3deafedc-dca9-49fb-8044-9a3430b631d1_face analysis.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/dd42273e-bee4-46a8-a71b-4a51290f5e7d_skin results.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>For me, Dr. Cho recommended the <strong>Shurink </strong>procedure, a new laser treatment that can help to lift and rejuvenate the face. I honestly did not expect this diagnosis because I didn’t have any glaring skin problems but that’s what’s great about having a skin analysis– it sees underlying problems that may not be so visible to the naked eye. I realized that as early as 27, signs of aging can start to show so we wanted to make sure to do preventative measures and ensure my skin was as healthy and in tip top shape as it could be.</p><div><br/></div><p>The treatment uses a high-intensity laser to stimulate the production of collagen by penetrating deep into the skin and causing the body to produce new collagen fibers that help support the skin. It reduces wrinkles, fine lines, and also helps improve the overall texture and tone of the skin.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/25f40d82-d76a-4093-aa3d-f59f38d10c12_shurink copy.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong>The Procedure</strong></div><p>Shurink is pretty straightforward and non-invasive so not a lot of prep work is needed. The medical personnel just puts EMLA all over your face and leaves it on for 30 minutes to numb those areas. Then, you go straight to one of their treatment rooms where the treatment will be done. It only takes around 30 minutes and they even give you a bear to hold during the procedure!</p><div><br/></div><p>Even with the numbing cream, I can tell you now that you can still expect a little bit of pain. But of course, you can always let your doctor know if you need breaks in between. After that, they put a serum on you and put you under a red light for 15 minutes. There will be a little redness and swelling but you’ll see some positive results immediately. And those results will only progress as time passes so that glow and lift won’t be just a one-day pass. </p><div><br/></div><p>Ideally, you’ll need at least three sessions to see some drastic change but every session gets better than the last. Even after just one session, you’ll get rejuvenated, lifted skin, and some improvements in texture as well.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/58a94079-1330-4329-9dde-e57babe321ba_img_8322.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong>Final Thoughts</strong></div><p>Even though there’s a lot of clinics to choose from here in the Metro, what sets Hernel apart is their commitment to topnotch service and procedures that are unique to them. From the moment you step into their clinic ‘til you finish your procedure, you’ll get the full South Korea K-beauty experience. The hospitality, advancement in tech, and the personal consultation from Dr. Cho (who is there six days a week by the way!) are really what makes Hernel worth the visit. So if you’ve ever wondered how the K-Pop idols and actors get their glow, you don’t have to wonder because you can just go to BGC to find out! </p><div><br/></div><div><em>Book a free consultation with Hernel Aesthetic Clinic at the Ground Floor, Seibu Tower, 6th Ave corner, BGC.</em></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/beauty/body/a-guide-to-lip-fillers/36417" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Here&#x27;s Everything You Need to Know About Lip Fillers</a></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>
