Q Does Gyeongokgo help with skin beauty too? I'm considering it instead of a dermatology procedure.
A Gyeongokgo works by replenishing internal fluids rather than treating the skin's surface, improving skin elasticity and moisture from within. It differs from the immediate effect of a dermatology procedure, but it holds meaning as a long-term approach that improves the skin environment starting from inside the body.
Detailed Answer
The rehmannia in Gyeongokgo supports skin cell regeneration and improves skin moisture by replenishing fluids. However, rather than comparing it to the immediate, localized effects of dermatology procedures (Botox, fillers, lasers), it's more accurate to understand it as a way of improving overall dry, dull skin from the inside, addressing fluid depletion at its root.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
At Dongjedang, even when Gyeongokgo is prescribed for skin beauty purposes, we first confirm whether the root of the skin issue is fluid depletion before prescribing. Improving what's inside so the skin naturally gets better is the approach of Korean medicine.
