Selecting ingredients and administration routes based on symptoms, deficiency risk, and underlying conditionsThis injection consultation assesses fatigue, diet, possible nutritional deficiencies, and medical history to select necessary ingredients and their administration routes. Actual ingredients and medical need matter more than names such as White Jade or Cinderella.
Read about mechanisms, recovery & Q&APERSONALIZED TREATMENTLiftera
Focused-ultrasound delivery at area-specific depthsLiftera uses focused ultrasound to deliver heat stimulation to a target layer beneath the skin. The treatment area and depth are chosen according to facial curves and the location of sagging.

Drug action on localized fat tissue using cholic acidNuviJu is a cholic acid-based fat-reduction injectable. Submental fullness is assessed first to determine whether fat reduction is appropriate or whether skin laxity or other tissues are responsible.
Read about mechanisms, recovery & Q&APERSONALIZED TREATMENTV-OLET
Deoxycholic acid-induced disruption of localized fat-cell membranes and subsequent tissue responseV-OLET is a deoxycholic acid injectable for submental fat reduction. Because it targets fat, it is considered separately from jawline laxity and fullness due to salivary glands or muscle.
Read about mechanisms, recovery & Q&APERSONALIZED TREATMENTBody contouring program
Staged combination of devices and injections based on fat, firmness and body conditionThe body contouring program combines ONDA body, localized injections and device care according to the area's fat and firmness. Each treatment's role should be defined before combining multiple procedures.

Staged care for keratin, sebum and skin structure according to the cause of prominent poresThe intensive pore program distinguishes how sebum, dead skin, loss of firmness and scarring contribute to visible pores. Peels, radiofrequency microneedling, injections and soothing care are considered in stages.
Read about mechanisms, recovery & Q&APERSONALIZED TREATMENTLDM
Physical stimulation using ultrasound with alternating frequenciesLDM is noninvasive skin care using ultrasound at different frequencies. The mode is selected after assessing sensitivity, redness, hydration, and recent treatment history.
Read about mechanisms, recovery & Q&APERSONALIZED TREATMENTSkin-strengthening · Personalized RF care
Personalized peeling, RF, and moisturizing based on barrier conditionThe skin-strengthening program assesses keratin, dryness, and firmness to combine peeling or RF care with moisturizing and soothing. The skin's tolerable level of stimulation is determined first.
Read about mechanisms, recovery & Q&APERSONALIZED TREATMENTKoom Scaling · Personalized skin care
Selecting comedones for extraction, managing keratin, and tailoring soothing care to inflammationKoom Scaling and personalized skin care assess comedones, keratin, sebum, and inflammation separately. Necessary extraction, surface care, and soothing are selected to manage the burden on the skin.
Read about mechanisms, recovery & Q&APERSONALIZED TREATMENTDouble-chin & contour injections
Localized medication planning after distinguishing fat, swelling, and skin saggingContour injections are planned according to the cause of localized bulk, such as a double chin, and the actual medication ingredients. The name does not denote one standard ingredient, so examination and ingredient confirmation are necessary.
Read about mechanisms, recovery & Q&APERSONALIZED TREATMENTInMode FX
A contour approach that holds tissue with suction and delivers RF energyInMode FX uses suction, RF, and related mechanisms to address localized contours. It is distinguished from Forma's firmness care by first assessing the relative contributions of subcutaneous fat and sagging.

Three things to check before choosing
- Identify your current skin condition and the cause of your concerns through examination, then distinguish the treatments needed.
- Discuss the exact product or device, its approved scope of use in Korea and possible side effects.
- Confirm expected recovery, timing, whether further treatment may be needed and the final cost.
