Hello, this is ReLieve Clinic.

A skilled dermatology clinic is clearly different in 3 ways.

If you are reading this post now, you are probably looking up an “Apgujeong dermatology clinic” to receive treatment for your skin concerns.

However, as you search for various pieces of information, you may find yourself confused about what criteria to use for selection, since overly promotional posts and excessive advertising are mixed together.

So today, I’d like to share three selection criteria for choosing a skilled dermatology clinic that may help you make your decision.

As always, I will share my honest opinion, focusing on content that can truly be helpful for patients.

First

“The amount of time the medical staff spends on the patient”

When it comes to skin procedures, I have one principle that I never compromise on.

That principle is: “The results of a skin procedure differ depending on how much time the medical staff spends on the patient.”

The time spent on the patient here can include consultation time, procedure time, post-procedure care time, and so on.

In particular, “consultation with the medical staff” is the first step in accurately understanding each person’s skin characteristics and condition, and it is a very critical stage that determines the outcome of the procedure.

This is because even if two people have the same skin concern, the treatment method can be completely different depending on each person’s skin condition and circumstances.

In fact, even if two people have the same skin concern, the combination and method of procedures will differ depending on skin thickness, degree of aging, wrinkle depth, skin elasticity, and more.

In other words, if this step is skipped, it becomes impossible to perform an accurate skin analysis, and the likelihood of reduced effectiveness inevitably increases.

That is why I devote a great deal of time to skin consultations.

I personally conduct every consultation, and I do not compromise on the time spent carefully understanding each customer’s skin condition and circumstances.

So sometimes, there are people who tell us that it is difficult to book an appointment at ReLieve Clinic.

We would appreciate your understanding that this is because we limit the number of patients booked per hour in order to deliver the best results for you.

Second

“Designing a 1:1 customized plan”

If we have determined the necessary treatment method that suits your skin condition through the consultation mentioned above, the next step is a careful design process.

Each person has a different appearance, build, facial features, personality, skin condition, skin thickness, middle skin layer, skin tone, skin texture, and elasticity.

If we perform standardized treatment without considering these individual differences, the likelihood of receiving a procedure that does not suit your skin increases, and it may become difficult to achieve the desired results afterward.

That is why I carry out this design stage very carefully.

Even when performing lifting, fillers, or even just Botox, I consider all of the factors below.

Brow and outer eye-corner height

Temple and cheekbone shape, thickness of the cheekbone fat layer

Whether there is hollowness in the outer cheek

Degree of asymmetry in the left and right cheeks and jawline (there is always asymmetry)

Shape of the under-eye area, nasolabial folds, and whether there is sagging

Difference in the height of the corners of the mouth

Mid-cheek area shape and elasticity

Double chin thickness and fat layer

By checking all of these, I create a very detailed plan—where to reduce fat, where to add volume with fillers or Juvelook, and how to distribute the number of shots differently depending on asymmetry—and then begin the treatment.

As a side note, colleagues who have known me since school days and know me well as someone who has long been recognized for being meticulous and delicate often ask, “Why go that far?”

However, when I pursue the design process with such persistence, the results are clearly different, and naturally customer satisfaction also increases.

“Customer satisfaction increases.”

This is both the reason I personally handle every step—from consultation and design planning to the procedure—and the reason I founded ReLieve.

Lastly, I would like to talk about the “ReLieve pain management technique,” which I developed through continuous research and experimentation to minimize pain and improve effectiveness, and then wrap up this post.

Third

“Continuous research to control pain and effectiveness”

Personally, I believe the key elements of skin procedures are “pain” and “effectiveness.”

This is because no matter how effective a procedure is, if the pain is too severe, it cannot be continued; and even if it can be done comfortably without pain, it is meaningless if the effectiveness is lacking.

In other words, the core of a skin procedure is achieving the best possible results within a tolerable level of pain.

So, how can this be confirmed?

First, experience.

To manage both pain and effectiveness, a large amount of clinical experience is unavoidable.

I also made countless efforts to reduce pain.

Only after years of experience with more than 2,000 filler cases alone and more than 30,000 clinical cases was I finally able to achieve both reduced pain and improved effectiveness.

And the next important point is how deeply the doctor understands and empathizes with pain, and furthermore, whether they have their own pain management technique.

Because pain is a subjective experience, the degree of pain felt and the level of fear differ from person to person.

But in my case, because I dislike pain so much, from the moment I entered the field of aesthetic dermatology, I continuously researched and experimented with how to minimize pain and increase effectiveness.

While writing this post, I checked, and the amount of Rejuran I used solely for research to reduce pain and improve effectiveness exceeds 200cc. 😅

Through all of these steps, ReLieve Clinic performs procedures by combining the two techniques below to minimize pain.

| 1. Pain is reduced by appropriately combining numbing cream and medication with proper technique. 2. In Rejuran injections, the ingredient composition is adjusted differently depending on each person’s skin condition. We consider all factors involved in pain, such as texture adjustment, pH, temperature, and syringe size. |

※ However, there are limits to how specifically I can explain every detail of this technique in writing alone. If you visit the clinic in person, I will explain it kindly.

Most people who receive treatment with my pain-minimizing technique often say the following:

“Last time I had the same treatment, it hurt so much that I thought I could never receive it again. Is it really possible to get it this comfortably?”

“I’m very satisfied because it is much more comfortable, and the results are even better.”

This know-how is applied not only to Rejuran, which is well known for causing severe pain, but also to Botox, skin Botox, anesthetic injections, and more.

In other words, because pain is already significantly reduced from the anesthesia stage before the procedure, my technique may be the answer for those who have been worried about pain and were hesitant to receive treatment.

A skilled dermatology clinic is clearly different in 3 ways.

So far, based on my mindset and treatment philosophy of sincerely caring for each patient in the real field, I have shared the three criteria for choosing a skilled dermatology clinic.

As a dermatologist, I have met countless people with various concerns, including those who are struggling because they have been unable to resolve their problems, so the post became a bit long because I wanted to share as much as possible out of concern.

I hope today’s post will be helpful for those who are unsure which place to choose before visiting a dermatology clinic, or for those who have already received a procedure but are worried because their skin has not improved.

ReLieve Clinic will sincerely consult with each customer from their perspective in order to solve whatever concerns they may have, and provide the optimal procedure.

[Continued in the next post] I will introduce the main procedures offered at ReLieve and explain the “ReLieve pain management technique” in more detail. Thank you for reading this long post.
