Welcome to Skin Insights by YSBB. Are freckles inherited or caused by sunlight? And how are they different from melasma? Many people notice small brown spots on their cheeks and nose, especially in summer. But if those spots appeared after your early 20s, they might not be freckles—they could be melasma. Today, let’s explore the differences between freckles and melasma, what causes freckles, and how to manage them effectively.

Collagen is a vital structural protein that makes up about 70% of the dermis, playing a key role in maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. From collagen creams and drinks to jellies, products touting anti-aging benefits are everywhere. But can these actually boost collagen in the deeper layers of your skin? Today, we'll explore the science behind collagen absorption and production—clarifying the effects of topical and oral collagen, and introducing dermatologist-approved clinical strategies to support skin health. 1. Can Topical Collagen Penetrate the Dermis? Collagen has a large molecular weight, approximately 300,000 Da. The outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, blocks penetration of molecules larger than 500 Da. Therefore, it is widely accepted that topically applied collagen cannot reach the dermis.
2. Can Ingested Collagen Reach the Skin? When taken orally, collagen is broken down in the stomach and absorbed as peptides through the small intestine into the bloodstream. Studies suggest that certain low-molecular collagen peptides may reach the dermis and stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen.
However, absorption rates vary significantly between individuals. Oral collagen is better viewed as a supportive measure, not a primary treatment. 3. What Scientifically Proven Methods Stimulate Collagen? As we age, collagen naturally declines, and factors like UV exposure, oxidative stress, and inflammation accelerate its breakdown. In dermatology, various treatments are designed to stimulate natural collagen production in the dermis—targeting the root cause of skin aging.
These techniques work from the inside out, promoting natural regeneration rather than superficially adding substances—offering more lasting and authentic improvement. Final Thoughts Collagen doesn’t get stored in your skin just because you apply or consume it. From a dermatologist’s perspective:

But while the cool breeze brings comfort, it may be quietly stressing your skin. Today, let’s explore how air conditioning affects your skin—and what you can do to protect it. 1. Why Does AC Air Dry Out the Skin? When the AC runs, both the temperature and humidity levels in the room drop. This leads to faster evaporation of moisture from the skin. If cold air hits your face directly, skin temperature drops, blood circulation slows, and sebum secretion decreases. This chain reaction weakens the skin barrier and makes your skin more prone to dryness and irritation—especially for those with already dry or sensitive skin. 2.

Many people notice that their scalp feels stickier and sweatier in summer—and that hair loss seems to worsen. If you’ve experienced this seasonal change, you’re not alone. Scalp Botox is a treatment that targets both excessive sweat and early-stage hair thinning, offering a practical summer solution for scalp care. 1. What Is Scalp Botox? Scalp Botox uses the same botulinum toxin as cosmetic Botox, but it’s injected in microdoses across the scalp. Its dual purpose: reduce sweat production and improve scalp tension and blood flow.
2. Who Should Consider This Treatment?
We often recommend scalp Botox before peak summer to create a more breathable, comfortable scalp environment. 3. What Is the Treatment Like?
Final Thoughts Scalp Botox isn’t just a cosmetic option—it’s a functional summer treatment. Whether you’re already managing hair loss or just looking to refresh your scalp routine, this can be a smart addition to your care plan. It’s also a safe companion to other therapies, including oral hair loss medications. With a healthier scalp environment, hair is more likely to grow strong and resilient. Get ahead of the heat. Scalp Botox may be just what you need to feel light and fresh all summer long. YSBB Skin Clinic, Seoul, Korea Welcome to Skin Insights by YSBB.

YSBB Skin Clinic, Seoul, Korea Welcome to Skin Insights by YSBB. Have you ever noticed small, white bumps around your eyes or cheeks that feel like tiny grains under the skin? These are called milia—not acne or sebum plugs, but keratin-filled cysts that form just beneath the skin’s surface. While painless, they often linger and don’t go away on their own. Today, let’s explore what causes milia, how to treat them safely, and tips for prevention. What exactly are milia? Milia are tiny, white or yellowish bumps made of trapped keratin under the skin. They’re most common in areas with thin skin like the under-eye area, cheeks, or forehead.
Why do milia form? Milia develop when skin turnover slows and dead skin cells become trapped instead of naturally shedding. This can occur under several conditions:
Can I remove them at home? It’s important to resist the urge to squeeze or pick at milia. Unlike acne, they don’t have an opening and can’t be expressed without damage.
YSBB Skin Clinic's gentle removal method At YSBB, we remove milia safely and precisely:
How can I prevent milia? While they can form spontaneously, a few skincare habits can help reduce recurrence:
Final Thoughts Milia are common and harmless, but managing them properly is key to avoiding unnecessary scars and pigmentation. With proper skincare and safe removal techniques, you can maintain a clear, even-toned complexion. If you’re struggling with persistent bumps or want professional care, don’t hesitate to reach out to a specialist. YSBB Skin Clinic, Seoul, Korea |
