Reflections and skincare stories from 15 years of caring for skin, written personally by head director Dr. Seojin Jae.
Melasma Laser in Seoul: What Pico Lasers Can and Cannot DoLasers can lighten melasma, but they do not cure it, and they can worsen it if poorly chosen. Melasma often returns, so treatment works best as a long-term plan that includes strict sun protection and usually topical treatment. Expect several sessions, and be wary of anyone promising to clear melasma in one Seoul visit.Nov 6, 2026
How to Plan Skin Treatments Around a Seoul Trip: Downtime, Timing and FlightsBook your skin treatment early in your Seoul trip, not on the last day, and match the treatment to your available days. Most lifting and booster treatments allow a return to daily life the same day, but marks and bruises can last from a day to about two weeks. Treatments that need a series will not fit into one short trip.Nov 6, 2026
Rejuran vs. Skinvive vs. Juvelook vs. Re2O: Which Skin Booster Does What?Rejuran uses salmon-derived PN to support recovery of thinned, tired skin, Skinvive is a hyaluronic acid gel for hydration and smoothness, Juvelook combines PDLLA and hyaluronic acid to stimulate collagen over time, and Re2O uses human acellular dermal matrix for advanced aging. The right one depends on your main concern, and the strength of the evidence differs between them.Nov 6, 2026
Ultherapy Prime vs. Shurink Universe vs. Oligio: Which Lifting Treatment Fits You?Ultherapy Prime and Shurink Universe both use focused ultrasound to reach down to the SMAS, while Oligio uses monopolar radiofrequency to heat and tighten the dermis. In practice, I think of Ultherapy Prime for lifting deeper sagging, Shurink Universe for accessible upkeep, and Oligio for skin firmness and fine lines.Nov 6, 2026
How to Check Your Ultherapy Prime Is Genuine: A Patient’s GuideTo check Ultherapy Prime is genuine, confirm the clinic is authorized, watch a sealed transducer being opened, and use the QR or serial verification the clinic and manufacturer provide. The manufacturer has warned that counterfeit and refurbished transducers can deliver inaccurate energy and may cause burns, so these checks are about safety as well as value.Nov 6, 2026
What Is a Factory Clinic in Korea? How to Tell Before You BookA “factory clinic” is patient slang for a high-volume skin clinic where a consultant may sell the plan, different staff handle each step, and the doctor you meet may not be the one who treats you. It is not automatically bad, but you should know before you book. A few direct questions will tell you how any clinic works.Nov 6, 2026
Rejuran in Korea: Prices, Sessions and What One Trip Can Realistically DoAt Karin Clinic in Myeongdong, Rejuran Healer 2cc is 280,000 KRW and Rejuran HB Plus 1cc is 220,000 KRW, VAT not included.
