What the Session Includes
A senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation, and the skin is assessed using an EVE V MUSE analyzer. The doctor then provides a detailed consultation on the treatment areas and method, completes the medical assessment and performs the treatment directly. Genuine POTENZA tips are opened in front of the patient before treatment, and the patient can check the shot count shown on the screen during treatment. The clinic displays its official certification plaque on site.
A session can be booked for the full face, for a focus area such as pores or acne scars, or for a partial area such as cheeks or nose. The structure is straightforward for expats who prefer simple choices. You do not need to choose a tip or shot count to determine the price.
Timing and Recovery
Sessions are usually spaced about four to six weeks apart, and three to five sessions are commonly planned depending on the goal. Sessions can also be repeated based on how the skin responds after a single session. Redness usually lasts about two days, and fine crusting, flaking or a rough texture may last about one week. Face washing and makeup are possible from the next day, and flying is possible right after treatment.
If you have an important event or photo shoot coming up, plan the sequence with your doctor. Recovery varies by person. Ask your doctor how your skin may respond.
What the Price Covers and What It Excludes
Anesthetic cream is included.
You can book a session by area rather than by device settings. That helps when you want a pores focused plan without managing technical details. The booking can be for the full face or for a defined focus area. The doctor confirms the final areas during the consultation.
Common Situations and Concerns
You may want English friendly guidance from booking to aftercare. The consultation flow is structured and uses device based skin analysis to support the plan. You may have limited time in Gangnam or Cheongdam during the week. Makeup is possible from the next day, which can help you look presentable for regular activities. You may need to travel soon after your visit. Flying is possible right after treatment.
If you prefer transparency during procedures, you can view the tip opening and the shot count on the screen. If you plan a long term treatment plan, the session spacing and total number are decided with the doctor.
