Hi Skinology,

I have checked online and managed to found this video on Youtube about Affinite in Korean but there is an explanation in English under 'About'

Here is another video i found too.

I guess this is the latest techonolgy for anti aging with healing concept.
Perhaps i will just go ahead with Doctor Park for the treatment.

Will update you guys soon!

I had Excel-V and Legato (some kind of fractional laser) but what is Affinite?
Treatment 2 times a week for 4 weeks means a total of 8 treatments.
$250 per treatment...is that expensive for you? (It's a genuine question, not trying to be condescending).

There are many dermatologists in Seoul but most only speak Korean.
If they have a translator there, they may be paid commission per patient and in the case of Maylin, they may as well be committing robbery.

Do you trust the doctor, did he make you feel comfortable?
These are personal questions that I can't answer for you...but in my case, I trust him and entrusted my face to him

After fractional laser, my face was very red, raw and had tiny scabs on the second day.
Now, my face is smoother, brighter and all the scabs are gone.

Hi,

I just went to the clinic that you have given me earlier. Dr Park quoted me around USD$2000 for Excel-V, Affinite, Fractional Laser and some chemical peeling for my freckles, acne marks, skin tags and wrinkles. Treatment will 2 times per week for 4 weeks.

Can someone advise me if they are charging me reasonable? And can please advise me how is your condition now? I have read reviews that it's not adviseable to do fractional laser as it will damaged your skin. I can't decide if I should go ahead with the treatments. Please give me some advise. Thank you!

I agree with you that clinics should have a price list so that people will have a rough guide of the prices but you will find that almost all clinics don't state prices of the services they offer.

When I asked my doctor for the reason, he said patients may not know what's best for their skin but will come in demanding to have so and so treatment because of the price although it may not be what's suitable or recommended for their skin.

But me feels that most clinics do this so that consumers cannot compare prices.
Anyway, not all famous and popular clinics are good and vice versa.

Hi Skinology, currently I'm in seoul and would like to consult your doctor. Possible to email me his contact to me at [email protected]? Greatly appreciated.

Susaki, the doctor wanted me to go to his clinic everyday so that he can check on my progress and spread out his treatment.
Initially, I was to go once every 2 days but everytime before I leave his clinic, he would say "Please come tomorrow okay?"
I'd paid for everything upfront so it's not as if he gets to earn more by asking me to visit his clinic everyday.
Downtime for the laser treatment? Well, your face will be tender and red but other than that, you can still do whatever you want.

Msahpui, you're welcome and thanks for sharing your experience.
After countless emails and phone calls, we (my non Korean friend and me) finally decided on a clinic.
Actually, she was the one who found the clinic and contacted the doctor and persuaded me to go.

The clinic was located in cheongdam area but the prices are reasonable as they don't try to rip people off.
As an experiment, I had to pretend not to understand Korean so that I can experience everything through the eyes of someone who can only speak English.

Clinic was owned by the doctor himself and he speaks fluent English as he studied in the states before. There's also a Korean translator for the Japanese and Chinese patients.

During the consultation, the doctor said that I don't need Ultherapy and that he will recommend a series of other lasers for me even though they are cheaper than Ultherapy.
So in the end, we decided on fillers, laser for pigmentation and pores and also skincare for maintenance.

I am a little hesistant about revealing the clinic's name as I don't want him to be inundated with people which may make it difficult for me to secure an appointment with him next time...lol

Will write about my experiences with him in more details in my next post.
