Oriental Medicine Clinic Skin Care Estimate at 7 Million Won... Caution Against Cold Hands and Feet as a Side Effect of Dieting

Big Mama Lee Hye-jung recently revealed the process of visiting an acquaintance, an oriental medicine doctor, to check her health status and receive skin care through her YouTube channel. In the video, the physical changes that can occur during the dieting process, as well as specific items and estimated costs for skin care performed at the oriental medicine clinic, were mentioned.

Cold hands and feet following a diet, the cause is muscle loss and nutritional deficiency

In the video, the participant shared her past experience of dieting along with a case where she suffered from severe cold hands and feet, to the point where her fingertips turned white. She shared the experience of her hands being so cold that she could not take items out of the freezer. Regarding this, the oriental medicine doctor in the video explained the cause of side effects occurring during dieting. He explained that when losing weight, if not only fat but also muscle is lost together, body temperature drops. Furthermore, if the supply of nutrition also becomes insufficient, the blood in the entire body cannot be sufficiently filled, eventually resulting in cold hands and feet because blood is not properly delivered to the extremities of the body.

Additionally, the oriental medicine doctor diagnosed the participant's constitution and mentioned her current state. The participant was diagnosed as having a basically healthy constitution, but because accumulated fatigue has built up, there is a possibility of experiencing tinnitus or dizziness. The participant also discussed psychological factors such as daily stress and her daughter's leave of absence, confirming the necessity of health management.

Oriental medicine clinic skin care program composition and estimated costs

The video introduced that skin care is possible at oriental medicine clinics using modern skin care devices. The oriental medicine doctor explained that "convergence" type medical treatment is being performed, where various devices are used by embracing modern science. After diagnosing the participant's skin condition, the skin care estimate provided varied depending on the management items.

Full face management, including 'ONDA Lifting', a high-frequency treatment that breaks down facial contour fat, was presented at around 500,000 won. If 'Thermage' treatment for improving nasolabial folds is performed in conjunction, approximately 2 million won is added. Additionally, management including Kim Booster, which helps skin regeneration, pharmacopuncture that provides stimulation, and dual laser toning, incurs a cost of about 500,000 won. If herbal medicine or Gongjindan prescriptions for physical recovery are added to this, a specific estimate was presented that the total cost could rise to approximately 7 million won based on a one-month treatment. The oriental medicine doctor added that these costs can be customized according to an individual's situation and economic power.

Chuna therapy and bee venom therapy used to help lymph circulation

As a preliminary step to increase the effectiveness of skin care, a process to help lymph circulation was introduced. To reduce facial swelling and facilitate blood circulation, Chuna therapy was performed to relax the cervical (neck bone) area. The video showed that the process of relaxing the neck and spine to release the occipital bone helps increase the effectiveness of facial treatment. In particular, it was explained that because facial swelling is reduced well only when lymph circulation is good, the preliminary work of relaxing the neck area before full-scale facial treatment is important.

Additionally, 'Genesis Toning' to help skin regeneration and laser treatment for improving neck wrinkles were mentioned. Bee venom therapy for pain relief was also introduced. It was explained that in the past, there were side effects such as itching or edema when using bee stings, but recently, a method of using only filtered active ingredients is being utilized. In particular, the video captured that bee venom can be used in cases of suffering from tennis elbow, golf elbow, or frozen shoulder.
