Home/Recovery progress

Recovery is not a single event,
but a flow of stages

What matters is not the moment right after treatment, but what stabilizes and what remains when reviewed again under the same conditions. RECOVER keeps the 2-week, 1-month, and 3-month review baselines on a scar-dedicated rig it built in-house, and adjusts to skin response.

CLINICAL RESPONSIBILITY · Clinical responsibility

We publish not only when to start treatment,
but also when to wait and review again

We do not recommend the same procedure on the same day for every skin condition. One plan covers whether the skin is ready, what response to record afterward, and when to review it again.

01 · WAIT

When we check the condition first

  • When heat, discharge, a wound, or rapidly spreading redness suggests infection or acute irritation
  • When strong redness or sensitivity remains after a recent laser, peel, or needle procedure
  • When medicines, allergies, possible pregnancy, or other information affecting the plan has not been confirmed

In these cases, we first allow calming and recovery or direct the patient to appropriate care, then reassess when to begin.

02 · CONTACT

Signals to check promptly after treatment

  • When pain, swelling, heat, or redness clearly worsens over time
  • When ongoing bleeding, pus, discharge, or fever requires assessment for possible infection
  • When a skin reaction exceeds the explained range or a possible allergic reaction appears

For severe systemic symptoms or breathing difficulty, do not wait for a website response; call 119 or use the nearest emergency medical facility.

03 · RECORD

RECOVER's aftercare baseline and side-effect guidance

  • Explain the treatment area, approach range, and expected possible responses beforehand
  • Provide written recovery precautions for cleansing, UV exposure, exercise, alcohol, sauna, and related factors
  • Separate the next same-condition capture time from signals requiring an earlier check

We explain possible side effects such as pain, redness, bruising, swelling, bleeding, pigmentation and infection, along with individual variation, then adjust the next plan to the actual response.

It is the process of new tissue filling the released area. The inner flow is compared in stages under the same conditions.

RECOVER RECORD — 90 Days Timeline

Six-stage recovery curve

After Saesalchim, recovery is read over roughly 0–90 days in six stages: calming, early response, inner response, surface change, stabilization, and recheck. Recovery speed differs by person and is adjusted to skin response.
