skinology Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkychoco Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I think I read something here about a treatment for reducing the oiliness of the nose? Is it for pore refinement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oronic Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Hi all, thanks for sharing so far I have a question and I hope to get some help from all of you here. There is small dent between my right cheek and nose due to an isolated acne scar in the past. Refer to the pic. What is the procedure that I should undergo to smoothen out this dent? Thanks in advance for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkmjk Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Its best to go to clinics that have the prices shown on the site, that way you know that you're not getting ripped off. Some popular clinics among locals are you&i, the dream skin (sites are in korean only http://gn.uni114.co.kr/new/index.asp thedreamskin1.tistory.com/ I've personally been to soo clinic and JL plastic surgery for eyelids I plan to go to soo clinic again on my next trip to korea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinology Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 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.

doublezz Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hello peeps! Im in seoul right now and just went for a consultation, for pore reduction on my face. fyi just did rhinoplasty last thursday. Treatment they recommended was Laser & PRP... but the thing is i have to be on general anesthesia they did say is going to be a short treatment like 10/15mins. Isit normal to go on GA? The price is pretty costly 2.5million won... for 2 times (including everything, mask/moisturizes, treatment, etc..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassystoney Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 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!

skinology Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 It's absolutely NOT normal to be on GA for simple aesthetic treatments! Although extremely rare, GA can result in death and I don't know what kind of doctor will actually recommend that to his patients. Even local anesthesia is not recommended...numbing cream will suffice for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinology Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
