Frequently Asked Questions

With a consultation and a 3D Meta-Vu scan, not with a device. The dermatologist shows you on screen where your face has lost volume and where the skin has loosened, then explains which single treatment, if any, would change what you see. Many first-time patients leave with one treatment, not a package.

Numbing cream is applied for 20 to 30 minutes first. Ultrasound treatments feel like brief deep heat; radiofrequency feels like warm pulses. Most patients go to dinner the same evening with no visible sign of treatment. Any mild redness is gone within hours.

Some tightening is visible early, but the main result builds as new collagen forms over two to three months. One treatment typically holds for a year or more, after which it is repeated as the face requires.

Yes for Ultherapy, Thermage, Sofwave, Xerf and ONDA. Allow about two hours including the scan, numbing and treatment.

Prices are published on this site in Korean won and depend on the shot count, which is decided from the scan. Ultherapy Prime starts at ₩450,000 per 100 shots and Thermage FLX at ₩1,450,000 per 300 shots. Cosmetic treatment carries 10% VAT.

A series of tiny injections just under the skin that improve its quality: hydration, smoothness, firmness, pores. It is not a filler, so it does not change your shape; it changes how the skin itself looks and feels.

That is decided by zone from the Mark-Vu skin analysis, not by brand. Thin, dehydrated skin needs a repair booster such as Rejuran; pores and texture need a collagen stimulator such as Juvelook; deflated areas need a volume stimulator such as Sculptra. Many plans use two products in different zones.

Small bumps at the injection points are visible for one to three days and are easily covered with makeup. There is no change in your features.

Hydrating boosters: three sessions a month apart, then maintenance twice a year. Collagen stimulators: two to three sessions, with the result building over two to three months. A single session still gives a visible improvement.

Yes. The clinic uses only authenticated original vials and shows you the product before injection. The amount agreed at consultation is the amount injected.

Botulinum toxin has decades of safety data and is the most common aesthetic treatment in the world. The dermatologist uses the minimum effective dose placed by your own muscle pattern, so the result is natural rather than frozen.

Botox relaxes a muscle (wrinkles from expression, a square jaw); filler adds volume (folds, lips, chin, under-eye hollows). They solve different problems and are often combined.

All three are approved and effective. Imported brands have the longer international record; Korean toxin is the most economical. The dermatologist advises at consultation and the price difference is published on this site.

Botox wears off over three to four months. Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with Hyalase (₩150,000 per area) within days if needed.

Yes. Avoid alcohol, saunas and strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and do not press on treated areas.

Pigment, redness and pores look similar from the outside but sit at different depths and have different causes. The Mark-Vu scan shows what is under the surface, so the laser and settings are chosen for your skin rather than by guesswork. The wrong laser can make melasma worse.

Yes. Picosecond toning, vascular lasers and BBL are used safely across skin types when settings follow the skin-type reading; the dermatologist adjusts energy for darker or tanned skin and may do a test spot first.

Toning and V-Beam: none to a day of mild redness. Spot treatment of sun spots: a small scab for five to seven days. Fractional resurfacing: pinkness and flaking for two to four days. You will be told exactly what to expect before you decide.

Freckles and sun spots often improve in one to three sessions. Melasma is controlled rather than cured and needs a programme of ten sessions or more at two-week intervals, plus sun protection. The clinic will tell you honestly if your trip is too short for a melasma programme.

A diagnosis, a first treatment session and a prescription can all happen on one visit. Active acne improves over six to twelve weeks on medication, which can continue at home.

Yes, markedly, though not to perfectly smooth skin. Depressed scars soften and shallow, and the surface evens, over a programme of several sessions. Results differ by scar type, which is why the plan starts with a scar-by-scar examination.

Rolling scars are held down by fibres under the skin; ice-pick scars are narrow and deep; boxcar scars have sharp walls. Each needs a different tool, so one laser applied to everything gives a disappointing result. Subcision, CROSS, collagen injection and matched lasers are combined by scar shape.

Subcision and injection sessions: swelling for three to five days. CO2 laser sessions: redness and fine scabbing for about a week. UltraClear is chosen when you cannot absorb a week of recovery.

Yes. The first session, including subcision, can be done after consultation, and the next session is scheduled around your next visit; sessions are four to eight weeks apart anyway.

Treatment of a medical condition may be exempt from Korean VAT; cosmetic treatment carries 10%. The quote states which applies.

Yes. All four physicians are medical dermatologists. Eczema, warts, hair loss and other skin conditions are diagnosed and treated here, with prescriptions issued the same day.

Yes, after consultation, for the length of your stay. Bring a note of any medication you already take.

It gives long-term reduction after a series of five to eight sessions. Occasional maintenance sessions are usual.

Message ahead so an English-speaking coordinator and a dermatologist are available; the visit itself is short.
