Thickened skin in Busan Seomyeon

Why has your skin thickened, is it a condition, and what resurfaces it in Busan?

Skin thickens when its outer layer is told to overproduce: by sun , which over decades turns the cheeks, neck and hands leathery and coarsely textured, the classic sun-thickened skin; by friction and rubbing, which thicken elbows, knees, heels and any area that is scratched; by chronic inflammation , where years of eczema, acne or a rash leave the skin lichenified, thick and ridged; and by a handful of conditions , acanthosis nigricans in the folds, seborrhoeic keratoses as raised patches, ichthyosis, that need a doctor's name before anything is resurfaced. The first visit at Boom Dermatology sorts the cause, because thick skin from sun is resurfaced and thick skin from inflammation is calmed first and thick skin from a condition is treated as the condition.

For the cosmetic causes the plan is in three parts. A prescribed retinoid normalises the turnover that has gone wrong, and is the step that keeps the result. Peels and the entry texture session Kaiser 300 ₩165,000 lift the thickened surface. A fractional pico pass ₩275,000 or Moxi ₩770,000 resurfaces sun-thickened skin on the face, neck and hands and softens the coarse texture over three to five sessions. Raised patches come off on the keratosis page; the rough texture page covers roughness without thickening.

Downtime after thickened skin treatment, and flying home

None for a peel; one to two days of pinkness after a fractional pico pass; three to five days of flaking after Moxi. Fly after 24 hours. Smoother from the second session; the retinoid keeps it.

Why has my skin become thick and leathery?

Most often the sun: decades of ultraviolet light damage the collagen and elastin and push the outer layer to overproduce, and the result is the coarse, leathery texture on the cheeks, neck and hands of people who worked or played outdoors. Friction and chronic scratching do the same locally. At Boom Dermatology the history tells which, and the site confirms it.

Is this a condition or just texture?

Usually texture; occasionally a condition. A velvety darkening in the neck and armpit folds can be acanthosis nigricans, raised brown patches are keratoses, scaling plates may be psoriasis or ichthyosis. The doctor, an internal medicine specialist, names those before any laser, because resurfacing a condition is the wrong plan.

Would a peel be enough, or do I need a laser?

A peel and a retinoid for mild thickening and for the body; a fractional laser for sun-thickened skin on the face, neck and hands, where the change is in the dermis as well as the surface. Our Seomyeon skin clinic starts with the lighter tier where it might be enough.

Can the neck and hands be done?

Yes, and they are the areas that show sun thickening most: Moxi or a fractional pass at settings for thinner skin, usually with BBL for the colour that comes with it. Patients who treat the face alone find the neck and hands give them away.

How fast can thick skin realistically change?

Smoother from the second session; a clear change in texture at three to five sessions over three to five months; the retinoid holding it after. Patients at Boom Dermatology in Busan are shown fixed-light photographs at each visit, because texture change is slow to see in a mirror.
