• Profound – the upgraded version of microneedle radiofrequency therapy, which simultaneously stimulates the regeneration of elastin and Filler, providing a natural anti-aging treatment effect equivalent to that of three treatments with a single injection.

V. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Does the Sinsa branch of DOCTORS Dermatology provide Chinese-language services?

Certainly! DOCTORS Dermatology offers translation and accompanying service for medical consultations between Chinese and Korean. Visitors from Hong Kong and Taiwan can book appointments with confidence, as there will be no communication issues. Making reservations through the BeautsGO platform also ensures full-service support in Traditional Chinese.

Q2: Which is more suitable for me, Thermage or HIFU?

The functions of the two treatments are different. Thermage is primarily designed to address issues such as loose skin, fine lines, and sagging contours; it uses radiofrequency heat to heat the dermis and stimulate Collagen regeneration. HIFU, on the other hand, utilizes ultrasonic energy to penetrate the SMAS fascia layer, resulting in more noticeable Lifting effects. It is recommended that a doctor conduct a thorough assessment and recommend the most suitable treatment plan based on an individual’s specific skin condition.

Q3: Is there a recovery period required after the treatment?

Most non-invasive phototherapy treatments (such as Thermage and HIFU) do not require a significant recovery period; you can apply light makeup and go out immediately after the procedure. Micro-needle radiofrequency treatments (such as Profound) may cause mild redness, which usually subsides within 1 to 3 days. After injection-based treatments, it is sufficient to avoid strenuous exercise and saunas within 24 hours.

Q4: How much in advance should foreign tourists make a reservation?

It is recommended to make an appointment at least 5-7 days in advance. Weekends and around holidays tend to be more busy, so it is best to book 1-2 weeks in advance. The BeautsGO platform allows you to check the available appointment times in real-time, making the process even more convenient.

Q5: At which subway station can I get off to reach the Sinsa branch of DOCTORS Dermatology?

The most convenient way is to take the subway Line 3 to Sinsa Station, exit at Exit 7, then walk straight for about 200 meters and turn right. It takes approximately 3 minutes to arrive. Alternatively, you can take the subway Bundang Line to Apgujeong Roda Station, exit at Exit 4, and walk for about 5 minutes to get there.
