Question 1

How is Ulthera Prime different from standard HIFU?

Accepted Answer

(Ultherapy Prime) Ultherapy Prime is the only FDA-approved device that uses real-time imaging; through DeepSEE imaging, the physician can directly visualize the skin layers before the procedure and precisely adjust the energy depth.

Question 2

When will I start to see the results of the procedure?

Accepted Answer

(Ultherapy Prime) While you may notice some immediate tightening effects right after the procedure, the main effects become apparent over the course of 2 to 3 months.

Question 3

Does the procedure hurt?

Accepted Answer

(Ultherapy Prime) You may feel a sensation of heat or a slight tingling when the energy is delivered. An anesthetic cream can be applied before the procedure; please consult with us beforehand to ensure your comfort.

Question 4

Is it true that there is no downtime?

Accepted Answer

(Ultherapy Prime) Yes. Since Ultherapy Prime does not damage the skin’s surface, any redness or swelling that may occur will subside naturally within a few hours, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately after the procedure.

Question 5

Is it possible to have a consultation without using a translation tool?

Accepted Answer

(Ultherapy Prime) The Hongdae branch of Cellin Clinic has medical staff on-site who can communicate in English, Chinese, and Japanese to assist international patients.

Question 6

How often should I get the treatment?

Accepted Answer

(Ultherapy Prime) Most patients maintain results for over a year after a single treatment. Depending on the degree of skin laxity, age, and lifestyle habits, a maintenance treatment may be considered after 12 to 18 months.

Question 7

Is there a risk of Sunken cheeks after a Thermage FLX treatment?

Accepted Answer

(Thermage FLX) While sunken cheeks rarely occur when the procedure is performed correctly, atrophy can occur in rare cases. Therefore, at the Hongdae branch of Cellin Clinic, we conduct a customized treatment that involves analyzing the skin layers before the procedure to precisely adjust the energy levels.

Question 8

Is there a specific age range that is best suited for starting Thermage treatments?

Accepted Answer

(Thermage FLX) Thermage FLX is not only suitable for people in their 30s to 70s; if you increase collagen density in the dermis starting in your late 20s—before the aging process truly sets in—you can expect it to slow down the rate at which your skin sags later on.

Question 9

Will the procedure interfere with my daily life?

Accepted Answer

(Thermage FLX) There is almost no swelling or bruising immediately after the procedure, and you can wash your face and apply makeup on the same day.

Question 10

Are the treatment devices and tips safe?

Accepted Answer

(Thermage FLX) The Thermage FLX device used at the Hongdae branch of Cellin Clinic has been approved by the U.S. FDA and the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS), and its safety and efficacy have been proven. In particular, we strictly adhere to the use of genuine, single-use tips that cannot be reused.

Question 11

Is the “microwave” energy used in ONDA Lifting safe?

Accepted Answer

(ONDA Lifting) Yes, it is a clinically validated device approved by the FDA and KFDA. It uses energy based on the same principle as a microwave, but is precisely controlled for medical use to target only specific layers within the skin, while the surface is protected in real time by temperature sensors and a cooling system, ensuring safe treatment.

Question 12

Can it be combined with other lifting treatments (Ulthera, InMode, etc.)?

Accepted Answer

(ONDA Lifting) Absolutely. ONDA Lifting works synergistically with other treatments. Through consultation with a medical professional, you can create a customized lifting package tailored to your skin condition.

Question 13

What is the recommended treatment interval?

Accepted Answer

(ONDA Lifting) Many patients notice results after a single session, but for longer-lasting effects and more noticeable contour improvement, we recommend at least three sessions at 4-week intervals.

Question 14

I have a lean face—should I be concerned about volume loss (hollowing)?

Accepted Answer

(ONDA Lifting) Experienced medical professionals carefully assess where volume should be maintained or reduced, ensuring a balanced, three-dimensional facial contour without causing hollowing.

Question 15

Titanium Lifting — Is the procedure painful?

Accepted Answer

(Titanium Lifting) The Sapphire Contact Cooling System protects the skin’s surface and minimizes discomfort, allowing the procedure to be performed in a comfortable state—similar to receiving a “warm massage”—with minimal need for anesthesia.

Question 16

How long do the effects last, and how many sessions are needed?

Accepted Answer

(Titanium Lifting) You will notice a difference after just one session, but to maintain the results long-term, we recommend repeating the treatment 3 to 5 times at one-month intervals. With this regimen, the results typically last from 6 months to over a year, depending on the individual.

Question 17

Can I resume my daily activities immediately after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

(Titanium Lifting) Yes, since it does not damage the skin’s surface, you can wash your face and apply makeup on the same day, and there is virtually no downtime.

Question 18

Is Volnewmer Lifting really comfortable enough to be performed without anesthesia?

Accepted Answer

(Volnewmer) Yes, with Volnewmer’s intelligent water cooling system and 5-level vibration system, although individual experiences may vary, most patients can comfortably undergo the treatment with only a warm sensation, even without anesthetic cream.

Question 19

Will there be redness or swelling after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

(Volnewmer) Due to RF thermal energy, slight redness or a mild warming sensation may occur immediately after the procedure, but it typically subsides naturally within a few hours. As it is a non-invasive treatment that does not cause bruising or scabbing, cleansing and makeup are possible on the same day.

Question 20

What is the difference between custom fillers and regular fillers?

Accepted Answer

(Custom Filler) While regular fillers are performed according to fixed amounts and patterns for each area, custom fillers are designed by analyzing facial structure, skin condition, and proportions, customizing the type, amount, injection location, and depth for each individual.

Question 21

How long do the effects of custom fillers last?

Accepted Answer

(Custom Filler) It depends on the filler used, but hyaluronic acid fillers usually last 6 months to 1 year, while collagen-stimulating fillers such as CaHA and PLLA can last over 1 year, with variations depending on individual skin condition and lifestyle.

Question 22

I am concerned about filler side effects. Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

(Custom Filler) Experienced medical professionals inject the filler considering vascular structure, and in the case of hyaluronic acid fillers, they can be adjusted using a dissolving agent if necessary, making them relatively safe.

Question 23

Custom Filler — Can I return to daily activities immediately after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

(Custom Filler) In most cases, daily activities and makeup are possible immediately after the procedure, but mild bruising and swelling may last for 1–2 days, so it is recommended to schedule important events 3–7 days later.

Question 24

When do the embossing and bruising that appear after the procedure disappear?

Accepted Answer

(Rejuran) Due to the nature of directly injecting the solution, embossing (a bumpy appearance), bruising, swelling, and redness may occur immediately after the procedure. The embossing usually subsides naturally within 1–2 days (up to 2–3 days depending on skin condition).

Question 25

What is the difference between regular skin booster injections and Rejuran?

Accepted Answer

(Rejuran) While regular skin booster injections are effective for hydration and nourishment, Rejuran helps fundamentally restore the epidermis and dermis through PN components, making it a regenerative skin booster that provides not only hydration but also elasticity and tightening effects.

Question 26

When can I wash my face or apply makeup after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

(Rejuran) Immediately after the procedure, injection marks or embossing may remain, so caution is needed. Washing your face and applying makeup is possible about 2–3 hours after the procedure, but it is recommended to start lightly from the next day if possible.

Question 27

When will I start to see results?

Accepted Answer

(Sculptra) Immediately after the procedure, the area may appear fuller due to moisture, but as the fluid is absorbed over the following days, it may temporarily seem as if the volume has decreased. After that, your own collagen production begins in earnest around 4 to 6 weeks later, and with about 3 treatment sessions, you can expect gradual and noticeable improvement.

Question 28

How is it different from fillers?

Accepted Answer

(Sculptra) Fillers work by instantly filling space to create shape, whereas Sculptra helps your skin gradually build its own volume over time. This makes the result much more natural, with less foreign-body sensation and a significantly longer duration.

Question 29

Is massage really necessary after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

(Sculptra) Yes, it is very important. To help the injected PLLA spread evenly under the skin without clumping and to support even collagen formation, the “5-5-5 rule” is recommended: massage the treated area 5 times a day, for 5 minutes each time, for 5 days. This is a key step in preventing nodules and maximizing results.

Question 30

When will I see results and how many sessions are needed?

Accepted Answer

(Juvelook Volume) You can gradually feel collagen building up about 4–6 weeks after the procedure. While results vary by individual, the most satisfying volume and longevity are typically achieved after about 3 sessions at 4-week intervals.

Question 31

Is massage required after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

(Juvelook Volume) Since Juvelook Volume has a low risk of nodules, strong massage like Sculptra is not necessary. However, gently touching the treated area can help distribute the particles evenly.

Question 32

Can it be performed on areas previously treated with fillers?

Accepted Answer

(Juvelook Volume) Yes, it is possible. However, depending on the remaining filler, treatment intervals may need adjustment. Providing your treatment history during consultation allows for more precise planning.

Question 33

How severe are swelling and bruising?

Accepted Answer

(Juvelook Volume) Since a larger volume is injected compared to standard skin boosters, mild swelling may occur immediately after the procedure but typically subsides within 2–3 days. Minor bruising may occur due to the nature of injections but can usually be covered with makeup.

Question 34

When will I start to see results after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

(Juvelook) Immediately after the procedure, temporary hydration may be felt due to the hyaluronic acid component. Collagen regeneration begins gradually about 4 weeks later, and optimal results can be achieved with 3 or more sessions at one-month intervals.

Question 35

Is it effective for acne scars and enlarged pores?

Accepted Answer

(Juvelook) Yes, Juvelook stimulates collagen regeneration beneath depressed scars to restore volume, while tightening the elasticity around enlarged pores. Combining it with subcision or laser treatments can provide more dramatic improvements.

Question 36

What about the “embossing” effect after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

(Juvelook) Immediately after the procedure, uneven “embossing,” swelling, or bruising may occur, but these typically subside naturally within 1–3 days.

Question 37

What is the difference between Juvelook and fillers?

Accepted Answer

(Juvelook) Fillers immediately add volume to shape the face, whereas Juvelook focuses on regenerating your skin tissue. It is more suitable for those who prefer a natural result without foreign-body sensation or want subtle correction in delicate areas.

Question 38

Skinvive — How is it different from a typical skin booster (hydration injection)?

Accepted Answer

(Skinvive) Traditional skin boosters use non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid and tend to have a shorter duration, whereas Skinvive uses micro-crosslinking technology, allowing it to last significantly longer in the body. Additionally, it is uniquely approved with a specific indication for “skin texture improvement.”

Question 39

When can I notice the effects?

Accepted Answer

(Skinvive) You may feel hydration immediately after the procedure. As the injected hyaluronic acid fully integrates into the skin over 2–4 weeks, skin texture becomes noticeably smoother and a subtle glow reaches its peak.

Question 40

Skinvive — How much discomfort is involved during the procedure?

Accepted Answer

(Skinvive) Skinvive contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, which helps minimize discomfort during the procedure. With topical anesthesia applied beforehand, most patients can undergo treatment comfortably.

Question 41

Can it be combined with Rejuran or Juvelook?

Accepted Answer

(Skinvive) Yes, combining it with Rejuran or Juvelook can create strong synergy by enhancing both skin regeneration and texture improvement. The optimal combination can be tailored to your individual skin concerns.

Question 42

Revive — How is it different from a typical skin booster (hydration injection)?

Accepted Answer

(Revive) Compared to standard hydration injections, Revive offers a much longer duration. With added glycerol, it goes beyond simple hydration to enhance skin regeneration and barrier function, making it a premium solution.

Question 43

Revive — Can I return to daily activities immediately after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

(Revive) Yes, mild swelling or injection marks may appear immediately after the procedure, but they typically subside within 1–2 days. Thanks to Belotero’s high cohesiveness, embossing is significantly reduced compared to other products, allowing for a quick return to daily life.

Question 44

Revive — Is the procedure painful?

Accepted Answer

(Revive) Revive contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Additionally, fine specialized needles are used, allowing even sensitive patients to undergo treatment comfortably with topical anesthesia.

Question 45

How is it different from regenerative injections like Rejuran Healer?

Accepted Answer

(Revive) While Rejuran focuses on “regeneration” by repairing damaged skin tissue using PN (polynucleotide), Revive specializes in strengthening the moisture barrier and enhancing radiance through crosslinked HA and glycerol. Combining both treatments can create synergistic effects for both regeneration and hydration.

Question 46

Is it really effective with just one session?

Accepted Answer

(Reepot) Unlike conventional toning, Reepot works by destroying the root of pigmentation in a single session. Most patients can see noticeably clearer results after just 1–2 treatments.

Question 47

How should I care for my skin after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

(Reepot) After the procedure, a regenerative patch (such as DuoDERM) should be applied for about two weeks. During this time, skin regeneration occurs under the patch, and the pigmentation naturally comes off when the patch is removed.

Question 48

Should I be concerned about pain or scarring?

Accepted Answer

(Reepot) Thanks to the powerful cooling system, discomfort is minimal and feels like a slight stinging sensation. As Reepot utilizes the natural wound healing process, proper care with the regenerative patch helps achieve smooth skin without concerns about scarring.

Question 49

When can I cleanse my face or wear makeup after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

(Reepot) If the regenerative patch is in place, cleansing and light makeup are possible on the same day. However, care should be taken to keep the patch intact, and after removal, thorough sunscreen application is essential.

Question 50

What types of pigmentation is it most effective for?

Accepted Answer

(Reepot) It is most effective for well-defined pigmentation such as age spots (dark spots), solar lentigo, and dark pigmented lesions.

Question 51

Reepot — Is consultation available without a translator?

Accepted Answer

(Reepot) At Cellin Clinic Hongdae, medical staff fluent in English, Chinese, and Japanese are available to assist international patients.

Question 52

UltraClear — How much discomfort is involved during the procedure?

Accepted Answer

(UltraClear) UltraClear uses “Cold Ablation” technology, significantly reducing discomfort. In the 3DMIRACL mode, most patients can undergo the treatment comfortably even without topical anesthesia.

Question 53

How long is the recovery period (downtime)?

Accepted Answer

(UltraClear) For deeper scars or wrinkles, mild peeling may occur for about a week depending on treatment intensity, while lighter regenerative treatments typically see redness subside within 1–3 days.

Question 54

How many sessions are needed to see results?

Accepted Answer

(UltraClear) Even after a single session, you can notice smoother texture and a brighter tone. For fundamental collagen remodeling and scar improvement, 3–5 sessions at 4–6 week intervals are recommended.

Question 55

UltraClear — Is consultation available without a translator?

Accepted Answer

(UltraClear) At Cellin Clinic Hongdae, medical staff fluent in English, Chinese, and Japanese are available to assist international patients.
