Inside Wells｜Thermage FLX Effects and Pain: The Questions Most Often Asked During Wells Dermatology Consultations

Q. You see countless lifting devices every day, but if you could choose only one treatment for your face today, which one would you pick first? Considering pain and recovery time, which treatment and how many shots do you trust the most?

A. For those who have busy schedules and find it hard to visit the clinic often, I would recommend Thermage FLX without hesitation. It is also the first treatment that comes to mind for me.

We usually recommend about 600 shots, and the pain burden is low enough that the procedure can be done with only a light anesthetic cream, without any separate complicated anesthesia.

Above all, the biggest appeal is that there is no separate recovery period after the procedure, so you can return to daily life right away.

Q. When people think of Apgujeong Wells, they have a great deal of trust in the doctors. If you were to receive a treatment yourself, which doctor’s treatment style or philosophy, as you have observed from beside them, would you be especially drawn to? I’m curious about the decisive reason you would want to entrust your face to that doctor.

A. I have personally received treatments from the doctors over a long period of time and come to appreciate their skill. These days, I am receiving Ulthera and Sculptra treatments from Dr. Ryu Hyo-seop. The results after treatment are very satisfying. In particular, Dr. Ryu carefully and precisely examines each person’s facial lines, which gives me the confidence that I can trust him with my face.

Q. In fact, there are so many dermatology clinics in Apgujeong that specialize in lifting. Even so, what is the decisive difference that leads people to say, “For lifting, Wells is still the best”? I’m curious about Wells’ uniquely outstanding strengths that you personally feel during consultations.

A. The biggest difference lies in the “responsible treatment by a board-certified specialist.” Sometimes, patients receive procedures at a so-called “factory-style clinic,” where the doctor is not a specialist or simply performs only the treatment the patient wants without a proper consultation, and many of them later come to Wells again because of unsatisfactory results or side effects. At Wells, an experienced board-certified dermatologist directly diagnoses the skin condition and performs the procedure, and takes responsibility for any necessary aftercare as well. Safety that creates the best results—that is the unique strength of Wells, and something we are proud of.

Q. Finally, please share one message for prospective clients who are reading this article, about Wells’ appeal and your commitment!

A. Wells Dermatology Clinic is a “clinic without over-treatment,” where a board-certified dermatologist provides in-depth consultations directly and does not recommend unnecessary procedures. Having worked here for a long time, what I have felt is that one of the greatest benefits for our clients is being able to experience a specialist’s skilled techniques at a reasonable cost.

We promise to deliver the best results for each and every client through honest treatment.
