№ 48Resurfacing & MicroRF

CO2 Laser

The most widely used ablative laser in dermatology. At 10,600nm (far-infrared), the beam is invisible to the naked eye and is guided by a visible helium-neon aiming beam. CO2 energy is absorbed by water in tissue regardless of skin colour — vaporising, incising, and coagulating the target zone with minimal scatter, so nearly all energy is concentrated precisely on the treatment area. Used in two modes: controlled ablation (vaporises tissue layer by layer) and incision (cuts cleanly with simultaneous haemostasis). Common indications include mole and pigmented nevus removal, warts, syringoma, neurofibroma, xanthelasma, corns, and condyloma acuminata, as well as fractional resurfacing for acne scars, enlarged pores, and photoaging. Density and depth are adjustable — a light fractional pass gives 3–5 days downtime; a high-density full-resurfacing pass requires 7–10 days.

Protocol: 1–3 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart depending on density
Lasts: 12–24 months after a full-density session

Typical Korean price

№ 49Pigmentation & Tone

Clarity II

Lutronic's multi-mode dual-wavelength platform (755nm Alexandrite + 1064nm Nd:YAG) offering five clinically distinct modes in a single device — one of the most versatile laser systems in Korean clinics. Pigment & Brightening mode: targets superficial melasma, dark spots, freckles, and age spots for a clearer, even tone. Genesis (Collagen Toning) mode: sub-threshold thermal energy to the dermis stimulates collagen regeneration, improves elasticity, and tightens pores — the widely used "genesis toning" protocol. Vascular & Redness mode: treats diffuse redness, telangiectasia, and cherry angiomas to equalise skin tone. Hair Removal mode: dual-wavelength removal with an integrated high-performance cooling system for comfortable, fast treatment across all skin tones. IntelliTrack mode: real-time temperature sensing ensures uniform energy delivery without overlapping zones, reducing side effects and improving consistency.

Protocol: 8–12 sessions spaced 1–2 weeks apart; ongoing maintenance monthly
Lasts: 2–4 weeks per session (cumulative effect)

№ 50Body Contouring

InMode BodyFX

Non-surgical body contouring that combines deep RF energy with high-voltage electrical stimulation to permanently destroy subcutaneous fat cells and improve skin elasticity. The high-voltage pulses rupture fat-cell membranes for fundamental volume reduction; deep thermal heating simultaneously stimulates collagen and elastin regeneration to firm sagging skin. Treats arms, abdomen, love handles, thighs, and sub-gluteal area. The body handpiece runs at 2× the output of the face applicator and uses a wider tip with real-time temperature sensing to minimise burn risk. Each area takes 10–15 minutes; sessions are spaced 1–4 weeks apart and 3+ sessions are recommended for best results. Some heat and tingling during treatment; bruising typically resolves in 3–7 days with no downtime. Results begin to show around 2 weeks post-session. Best suited for stubborn fat resistant to exercise and patients wanting simultaneous fat reduction and skin tightening. Combining with DCA fat-dissolving injections is common for a synergistic outcome.

Protocol: 6–8 weekly sessions per area
Lasts: 12 months after completing the course

Typical Korean price

₩340,000–₩410,000 per body area session

≈ $234–$283 USD

Approved by

№ 51Body Contouring

Ultherapy Body

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) using dedicated body transducers — primarily the 4.5mm tip for deep fat-layer penetration, supplemented by the 3.0mm tip for lifting and tightening — calibrated for the thicker skin and greater fat depth of body areas compared to the face. Real-time DeepSee ultrasound imaging visualises skin layers live, allowing the practitioner to confirm the exact depth before firing each shot for maximum safety and precision. Target areas: arm fat, abdomen, inner thighs, and around the knees. For abdominal contouring, 500–700 shots per session is typical, but this varies with individual fat volume. Maximum results develop 3–6 months post-session; duration is 6–12 months. Treatment is near-painless with no downtime. Important: counterfeit or refilled tips with depleted buffer fluid carry a burn risk — confirm the clinic uses authentic tips with a manufacturer QR-code sticker before treatment. A pre-session body ultrasound to map fat-layer thickness and design the treatment plan is strongly recommended. Premium-tier pricing; choose a practitioner with body Ultherapy experience for safe, optimised outcomes.

Protocol: 1–2 sessions spaced 3–6 months apart
