Premium Qrity

No. According to the manufacturer's materials, Qrity has two handpieces: a water jet/suction handpiece and an ultrasound handpiece. No part of it emits laser or light. You can think of it as cleansing care that rinses pores with water.

Qrity care is usually done without numbing. You may feel stinging or tickling when the water jet touches the skin, and a pulling sensation during suction. If it feels strong, tell us right away, and our medical staff will lower the water jet strength and the suction strength. How much you feel varies from person to person.

Qrity care usually takes about 30–40 min. Consultation and cleansing take extra time. Because it is usually done without numbing, there is no time spent applying numbing cream and waiting. We tell you the actual care plan and time after an examination.

You can usually wash your face and wear makeup 1–2 hours after care. Redness usually settles within 1 day, and in sensitive skin it may last 1–2 days. On the day of care, skip saunas, hot spas, and intense exercise. If redness remains, keep makeup light that day.

Generally, 3–6 sessions are planned. You start with sessions every 2 weeks, then space them out to every 3–4 weeks once your skin is stable. Having it too often can make your skin sensitive. We tell you the actual schedule after an examination, based on your acne and any medical treatment you receive alongside it.

Qrity, comedone extraction, and Aqua Peel do not replace one another; they are chosen or used together depending on your acne. If you have many red, swollen pimples, you can look into medical treatment and DM Inflamed Acne care; if enlarged pores concern you, Triple Pore Care. If you have had a laser or peel recently, please tell us at your consultation. Whether to combine them, and in what order, is decided after an examination, based on your skin.

Both are cleansing care that uses water and suction. Aqua Peel places a tip on the skin and draws in care solution as it flows out, while Qrity sprays a fine water jet and then draws it back in. Qrity also has a separate ultrasound handpiece. Which one suits you is decided based on your skin condition and how sensitive your skin is.

Qrity may help rinse away sebum and dead skin cells built up at pore openings. However, sebaceous glands keep making sebum, so even pores that have been squeezed can fill up again within 30 days. That is why we do care at regular intervals and, if needed, add a topical medication that helps keep pores from clogging.

Not necessarily. The white or yellowish dots packed closely on the nose are often sebaceous filaments. Sebaceous filaments are a normal structure in which pores are filled with sebum, so it is natural for them to fill again after being cleared. Squeezing them hard can irritate the skin around the pores.

If only a few small red pimples are mixed in, our medical staff can lower the strength or avoid those areas. If you have many pus-filled pimples or deep, painful nodules or cysts, medical treatment comes first. The doctor examines you and decides whether medication or injection treatment is needed.

Demodex mites are tiny mites that live in pores, and most adults have them. Skin inflammation caused by an overgrowth of Demodex is confirmed by examination and treated with topical or oral medication. Cleansing care such as Qrity does not replace this treatment.
