ILLIT Wonhee eats “this”... Can following her lead to fair skin?
Wonhee of ILLIT, a leading fifth-generation girl group, drew attention for her ‘lemon-eating talent.’ Appearing on MBC's variety show Radio Star, she said, ‘I'm good at eating sour foods,’ and ate three lemon slices without changing her expression. The only member who handles lemons well, she showed no hesitation in a lemon-eating contest either.
Lemons, a favorite of Wonhee with her clear, fair, baby-like skin, are rich in vitamin C. Through antioxidant action, vitamin C slows skin aging and assists collagen synthesis, positively affecting elasticity and pigmentation reduction. However, no matter how well you consume vitamin C, oral intake alone has difficulty delivering a sufficient concentration to the skin layers. The amount reaching skin is limited by metabolism in the body. If the aim is rapid whitening, home care has limitations, so laser or injection procedures acting directly on skin are more efficient.
Want to improve dull tone and elasticity together? — Shining Rejuran
Rejuran, a representative skin-booster procedure, is an injectable whose main ingredient is salmon-DNA-derived PDRN. It restores damaged skin cells and promotes collagen regeneration in the dermis. It effectively improves fine lines and reduced elasticity and strengthens the skin barrier. Shining Rejuran additionally injects hydrating and regenerative ingredients, specializing in smoother texture and greater natural radiance. It suits skin dulled by insufficient moisture or elasticity and helps turn a tired appearance into a clear, lively one.
Worried about spots? — Excel V and picosecond laser
Excel V is a vascular and pigment laser that acts selectively on melanin, effectively improving redness, melasma and spots. It suits an overall dark skin tone and can also be used on inflammatory acne marks. Picosecond lasers rapidly break down tiny pigment particles in skin and are advantageous for spots, freckles and texture. Combining these two pigmentation laser procedures produces strong synergy by addressing a broad range of pigment concerns.
Want hydrated, dewy skin? — Super Miracle Hydration Injection
For a radiant skin finish, Super Miracle Hydration Injection is an option. It directly injects various skin nutrients, including hyaluronic acid, amino acids, minerals and vitamins, to improve moisture and elasticity. It gives dry, rough skin an immediate dewy glow and offers rapid recovery for skin irritated by frequent makeup or seasonal changes. A representative anti-aging program and skin-booster procedure, its demand has recently continued to grow, particularly among Gangnam dermatology clinics.
These three types of procedures are highly effective individually, but combining them according to skin condition creates greater synergy. For example, picosecond laser and Excel V can address pigmentation and melasma, Rejuran can restore texture, and Super Miracle Hydration Injection can supplement moisture and radiance. However, it is important to plan through individualized skin consultations with medical professionals before and after treatment, and to prioritize minimizing side effects over excessive procedures.
