At Min Clinic, the doctor assesses your facial anatomy, skin laxity, fat distribution and treatment goals before recommending a plan. English interpretation is available by appointment if you would like a detailed explanation before deciding.
How to compare clinics when you prefer English support
Before visiting a clinic, identify the concern you most want to address. This may be skin laxity, loss of firmness, lower-face fullness, facial contour or fine lines.
Non-surgical facial lifting is not one procedure. It includes several approaches that work through different mechanisms and target different tissue layers, including ultrasound, radiofrequency, microwave energy, threads and injectable treatments.
When comparing clinics, check:
- Whether the treatment is selected according to your concern
- Whether a doctor assesses and performs the medical aesthetic procedure
- How the treatment area, shots, energy, handpieces, threads or injections are planned
- Which authenticity-verification method applies to the selected treatment
- Whether English interpretation is available
- Whether records can be provided upon request
- What the quoted price includes
At Min Clinic, medical aesthetic procedures are performed by a doctor. English interpretation is available by appointment with an interpreter.
Matching the treatment to your main concern
Different treatments should not be compared solely by name because they work in different ways.
At Min Clinic, the doctor assesses your facial anatomy, skin laxity, fat distribution and treatment goals before recommending a plan. Depending on your concerns, options may include:
- Ultherapy PRIME
- 10THERMA
- ONDA
- truSculpt iD
- Thread lifting
- Lifting Botox, also known as Dermotoxin
The doctor adjusts the treatment areas, shot distribution, energy settings, handpieces, thread placement or injection plan according to your facial structure and goals.
If you want to know whether a device is approved for a particular use, ask the doctor which indication applies to the proposed treatment and how it relates to your concern.
Understanding the available treatment options
Ultherapy PRIME
Ultherapy PRIME is an ultrasound-based energy treatment that uses DeepSEE real-time ultrasound visualization. The doctor selects the treatment depth, areas, shot count and shot distribution according to your facial anatomy, skin condition and degree of laxity.
10THERMA
10THERMA is a radiofrequency-based treatment. The doctor determines the treatment area and energy plan after assessing your skin condition and goals.
ONDA
ONDA is an energy-based treatment by DEKA that uses Coolwaves technology. ONDA is measured in kilojoules rather than by shot count. The doctor selects and combines the 3 mm and 7 mm handpieces according to the treatment area, skin thickness, laxity, fat distribution and treatment goal.
truSculpt iD
truSculpt iD may be considered when localized fat and facial contour are part of your concern. The doctor determines whether it is suitable after assessing the treatment area.
Thread lifting
Thread lifting uses absorbable threads placed according to your facial structure and treatment goal. The number, type and placement of threads are determined after consultation.
Lifting Botox or Dermotoxin
Lifting Botox, also called Dermotoxin, uses botulinum toxin according to an individualized injection plan. The treatment areas and amount are selected by the doctor.
Consultation and treatment at Min Clinic
A senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation, and the skin is assessed using an EVE V MUSE analyzer. The patient then has a detailed consultation with the doctor about the treatment area and method. The doctor completes the medical assessment, designs the plan and performs the medical aesthetic procedure.
Consultation and skin-analysis fees apply, with no VAT added. If you proceed with treatment on the same day, these fees are included in the final treatment fee.
The time required for your visit varies depending on the consultation, interpretation, selected procedure, preparation and individual treatment plan. Ask the clinic for an estimated total appointment time when booking.
Same-day treatment may be available with an advance reservation, subject to the doctor’s assessment. If you want to avoid multiple trips from Dosan Park, request same-day treatment when you book.

Three doctors practice at Min Clinic: Young Soo Min, chief medical director, and Min Ji Kim and Chan Ho Jung, medical directors. Two of the doctors are board-certified specialists.

How authenticity is verified
The method used to verify authenticity differs by treatment. Injectable products and energy-based devices should not be described as having the same verification process.
Depending on the treatment, authenticity may be checked through:
- A genuine product or single-use tip opened before treatment
- A certificate or official clinic plaque displayed at the clinic
- The treatment device and its identifying information
- A live or final shot count shown on the device screen
Ask the clinic which method applies to the specific treatment you are considering.
