Questions We Hear Most Often
Ulthera Prime
What kind of treatment is Ulthera Prime?
Ulthera Prime uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver energy into the deep SMAS layer of the skin, helping to lift and improve sagging.
Who is Ulthera Prime suitable for?
It's worth considering if your jawline has started to sag and you want a more defined facial contour. Your doctor will confirm whether it's right for you at your consultation.
Does it hurt?
Pain tolerance varies by person. You'll feel a stinging sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered; topical numbing cream, nitrous oxide, or local injectable anesthesia can all be used to reduce discomfort.
When will I see results?
Some people feel a tightening sensation right away; for most people, results become noticeable gradually over about a month.
Can I go back to normal activities right after?
There's almost no downtime. A small number of patients experience mild, temporary swelling.
Thermage FLX
What kind of treatment is Thermage FLX?
Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production in the dermis, improving skin elasticity and fine lines.
Who is Thermage FLX suitable for?
It's worth considering if you have relatively little facial fat and are seeing fine lines or textural changes from reduced elasticity. Your doctor will confirm at your consultation.
What does it feel like?
It varies by person. The radiofrequency energy produces a warm sensation, numbing cream is applied generously beforehand, and nitrous sedation (Aironox) is available as an add-on if needed.
When will I see results?
Results improve gradually as collagen continues to build over roughly 2 to 6 months.
Skin Boosters
What is a skin booster?
A skin booster injects active ingredients your skin needs directly into the dermis to help improve its condition.
How do I choose between Rejuran, Juvelook, and Re2O?
Rejuran focuses on hydration, elasticity, and overall skin condition; Juvelook Skin focuses on fine lines, texture, pores, and elasticity; Re2O focuses on elasticity and regeneration. Your doctor will confirm which fits your skin.
Is there downtime afterward?
Depending on the injection technique and your own skin, you may see injection marks or light bruising, which usually improve within a week.
What's the difference between a syringe needle and a cannula?
A syringe needle uses a dedicated device to keep depth and dosage consistent; a cannula lets the doctor adjust the injection position and angle directly. The right choice depends on the area, your skin, and what you're trying to improve.
Needle RF & Gold PTT
What's the difference between Needle RF and fractional picosecond laser?
Needle RF delivers radiofrequency energy into the dermis through fine needles to improve elasticity, pores, and scarring. Fractional picosecond laser delivers picosecond laser energy in a fine grid pattern to improve texture, pores, and fine marks. Which one fits depends on your skin.
What is Gold PTT?
Gold PTT applies fine gold particles to the skin, then treats the area with a specific laser wavelength. The gold particles act as a medium for delivering heat, used for oil control, pore management, and calming troubled skin.
Is there downtime afterward?
You may feel temporary warmth or redness after the laser, which fades quickly; if extraction is also performed, those spots may stay red for 2 to 3 days.
What's the difference between liposomal Gold PTT and standard Gold PTT?
Liposomal Gold PTT adds liposome delivery technology on top of standard Gold PTT so active ingredients reach the skin more effectively; standard Gold PTT focuses on using the gold component to deliver laser energy for oil control and overall skin management.
Solar Lentigo & Age Spots (Reepot)
What are solar lentigo and age spots?
Solar lentigo are well-defined pigmented spots caused by increased melanin from sun exposure, usually appearing on sun-exposed areas like the face and the backs of the hands. Age spots tend to appear from middle age onward due to aging and UV exposure, ranging from flat to raised, rough-surfaced spots.
For treating solar lentigo and age spots, what's the difference between a standard pigment laser and Reepot?
Different pigment lasers are used depending on the type and depth of the lesion. Reepot is designed to precisely target well-defined pigmented lesions, while a standard pigment laser has broader application. Reepot delivers finely targeted energy to lesions like solar lentigo and age spots, reducing the effect on surrounding skin.
Is there downtime afterward?
After treatment, a hydrocolloid dressing is applied to help the area heal, and we recommend keeping it on for about 2 weeks. If the adhesive weakens, you can cover it with a larger dressing or bandage. After 2 weeks, you'll come back so we can remove it and check your healing; if a follow-up visit isn't possible, you can gently peel it off yourself.
Pricing & Other Questions
Can I apply for a tax refund?
Starting in 2026, this clinic no longer offers tax refund services for medical aesthetic treatments.
Are there any extra charges on top of the listed price?
Prices on our price list exclude VAT; 10% VAT is added. International patients are charged the exact same rates as local Korean patients, with no surcharge.
Is anesthesia charged separately?
This clinic does not perform sleep (general) anesthesia. Instead, we use nitrous sedation (Aironox) to reduce discomfort, which adds 50,000 KRW for a single treatment; if you're having two or more treatments in the same visit, the nitrous sedation fee is waived.
