Summer presents notable challenges for skin health, with dermatologists frequently treating patients for redness, dryness, and loss of elasticity. These concerns stem from repeated exposure to external factors such as strong ultraviolet (UV) radiation, sweat, excess sebum, rapid temperature changes, and air conditioning. These stressors compromise the skin’s protective barrier and disrupt the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the dermis, leading to visible skin damage.UV radiation and heat dilate cutaneous blood vessels and elevate skin temperature, resulting in redness and heightened sensitivity

[Physician's Column] By Junsu Park, MD, Plusmi Dermatology ClinicThe position you sleep in may seem trivial, but it can profoundly influence your skin’s health and appearance over time. Sleep postures such as side-sleeping or lying face-down place prolonged pressure on the face, increasing the risk of wrinkles, irritation, and even facial asymmetry. Recognizing the effects of your sleep posture is crucial for preserving youthful, healthy skin.Sleeping face-down, known as the prone position, is among the most harmful for your skin. In this posture, the forehead, periorbital area, and nasolabia

[Physician's Column] By Junhyeon Kim, Director of Apgujeong Eye ClinicPatients who undergo LASIK or LASEK surgery generally expect long-lasting clear vision, yet some may experience a gradual decline in visual acuity over time. While several factors may contribute, myopia regression is frequently identified as the leading cause.When myopia regression occurs, a detailed assessment is essential to determine the most suitable re-treatment approach. Myopia regression refers to the gradual remodeling of the cornea after laser surgery, which can alter its refractive power and reduce visual clarity.
