Frequently asked questions

Not advisable. The clinic is appointment only and doesn't accept walk-ins; arriving unannounced during opening hours may still mean not being seen. Also, last registration is one hour before closing — on a 20:00 day, arriving after 19:00 may be too late. Confirm a time via WeChat.

Monday, Tuesday and Friday 10:00–20:00; Thursday 10:00–19:00; Saturday 10:00–16:00 (no lunch break). Lunch break 13:00–14:00. Closed every Wednesday, Sunday and Korean public holiday. Last registration one hour before closing.

Yes, but please say so as early as possible. With appointment-only scheduling, your slot is held for you; a late cancellation disrupts the clinic's day.

Confirm in advance. The clinic's patients are mainly Korean, and the multilingual toggle on its website is a browser translation widget, not a dedicated interpreter. Ask explicitly when booking. History and allergy information shouldn't rely on a translation app.

The building has a mechanical parking system. Note: vehicles over 2,800 kg, electric vehicles and the Genesis G90 can't use it; valet costs an extra KRW 3,000. One hour of parking is covered on treatment days — mention 더리즈의원 and collect a ticket. Larger vehicles should use a nearby paid car park.

It depends on the treatment. Short-recovery treatments (radiofrequency, botulinum toxin, CureJet) are usually fine. Swelling after injectables may feel more pronounced in dry cabin air and changing pressure; ablative treatments (Pearl, Pearl Fractional) shouldn't be followed by a long flight at peak crusting. Tell the doctor your itinerary at consultation.

Cutera Genesis, CureJet, Volnewmer and botulinum toxin are usually the shortest; most people carry on normally afterwards. The longest are the ablative treatments Pearl and Pearl Fractional, typically 5–7 days or more. See the stay-length section of the Visitor Guide.

For injectables, usually avoid make-up for 24 hours. Microneedle and ablative treatments have longer recovery — follow the doctor's instructions; make-up over unhealed crusts raises the risk of infection and pigmentation.

Brief swelling is a common reaction and usually settles within days. Filler's final shape typically takes about two weeks to settle, so don't judge the result immediately. But unusual pain, skin colour change or visual change need immediate medical attention.

Absolutely not. Forcing crusts off is the main cause of pigmentation and scarring. Let them come away on their own, keep the skin moisturised and protected from the sun, and avoid rubbing or scratching.

It varies. Hyaluronic acid filler is visible immediately but needs swelling to settle; botulinum toxin starts within days and is full at about two weeks; lifting and skin-quality treatments depend on collagen remodelling and show gradually over weeks to months; collagen stimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse and similar) are slowest, typically months.

It varies with age, baseline condition and lifestyle (sun protection and weight fluctuation especially). These treatments slow ageing rather than reverse it and usually need periodic maintenance. Take the doctor's estimate at consultation as your guide.

No. Their working layers don't overlap — Ultherapy works at the fascial layer, Thermage from epidermis to dermis. The clinic's own plan pairs Ultherapy Prime and Thermage FLX as "two axes". Whether to combine and how to space them is the doctor's decision based on your skin's tolerance.

It depends on the treatment, the area and the individual. Focused ultrasound is felt more over bony areas (jaw border, cheekbone); radiofrequency is mostly warmth and well tolerated; microneedle and ablative treatments usually have topical anaesthetic.

Some yes, some need staging. Combinations depend on cumulative energy, overlapping recovery and skin tolerance, and are the doctor's call. Asking for everything in one visit isn't necessarily a good idea.

Not on your own. Intervals give the skin time to recover and remodel; shortening them doesn't speed up results and may add strain. With botulinum toxin, too-frequent injection also carries a theoretical risk of antibody formation.

Melasma is tied to hormones, UV exposure and barrier condition, and medically is closer to something managed than cured; recurrence is common. Treatment usually runs low-energy over several sessions with strict sun protection and topical medication. Any promise of removal in one session deserves suspicion.

Yes, and be specific: when, what material, where. Existing implants change how energy-based treatments are planned. Non-dissolvable materials (PLLA, CaHA) especially need to be disclosed. This is a safety input.

None of the treatments on this site are recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you're planning a pregnancy, mention that at consultation too.

No. Implanted electronic devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators are a clear contraindication for radiofrequency treatments (Thermage FLX, Volnewmer, Virtue RF). Please tell the doctor.

Yes. Rejuran is derived from salmon DNA, so it isn't suitable with fish allergy. Also, metal allergy, especially to gold, must be disclosed before Gold PTT. Give a full allergy history at consultation.

Yes, and importantly so. Ablative treatments (Pearl, Pearl Fractional) and microneedle treatments can trigger a cold-sore outbreak. Anyone with a history of recurrence must say so; the doctor usually arranges preventive medication.

Don't stop on your own, but do tell the doctor. Anticoagulants raise bruising and bleeding risk; recent oral isotretinoin needs a sufficient interval before ablative treatment; immunosuppressants and some antibiotics may also affect planning. Any adjustment is the doctor's decision.

Seek medical attention promptly rather than waiting. After injectables in particular, unusual severe pain, skin colour change (blanching, mottling or purplish), blurred vision or visual field loss need immediate care. Before leaving, get your treatment record and an emergency contact from the clinic and keep them safe.

Treatment pricingFinal pricing is confirmed at consultation. When asking for a quote, also confirm the device or product brand and model, the quantity (lines / ml / units), the areas covered and whether follow-up is included — comparing totals alone compares different things.

Usually because they cover different things: different line counts, different areas, different transducers or products, follow-up included or not. Align those first, and then you're comparing like with like.
