 Dr. Yongbae Shin of Dr. NewCell Clinic has been honored with the 'Patient's Choice Award' at the 2025 Medical Aesthetic News Awards. His interview on 'XERF' recorded the highest views among all consumer-facing content this year, demonstrating strong interest in customized lifting procedures. Dr. Shin shared, "This reflects a growing demand for treatments where doctors consult directly and design procedures based on each patient's unique facial structure and asymmetry, moving away from equipment-dependent, factory-style treatments." XERF is an ideal device for such personalized care, allowing for frequency adjustments tailored to skin depth. It has shown high satisfaction rates among patients in their 30s and 40s. By strategically designing combination protocols for individual skin conditions, Dr. Shin continues to deliver optimal results.

Dr. Taehwan Ahn of Fresh ENT Clinic conducted a clinical seminar on APOLEX Tite, a radiofrequency-based device for non-surgical facial contouring. Dr. Ahn explained that APOLEX Tite utilizes 500kHz low-frequency monopolar RF energy to safely melt fat while minimizing epidermal damage and allowing for quick recovery. He noted that its built-in temperature sensor automatically shuts off upon exceeding 60°C, significantly reducing the risk of burns. By targeting the superficial subcutaneous fat layer, the device is designed to achieve natural contour improvement and collagen remodeling simultaneously. During a live demonstration, Dr. Ahn presented the anatomical distribution of facial fat layers and showcased procedural techniques in real time, including 18G cannula access, RF energy delivery, and tip movement along lifting vectors. Medical professionals in attendance evaluated APOLEX Tite as a clinically valuable and competitive system that addresses the limitations of existing devices b...

 Dr. Hoyeon Choi of Clim Clinic is actively utilizing a new multi-needle injector that combines radiofrequency (RF) technology with skin booster treatments. According to Dr. Choi, this device adds RF functionality to the conventional multi-needle injector, creating synergistic effects in drug delivery, skin texture improvement, elasticity enhancement, and extended duration of results. He also highlighted reduced drug loss and less pain compared to manual injections as key advantages. Furthermore, he noted that when combined with existing monopolar RF or HIFU devices, the elasticity improvement effects become even more pronounced, making it a highly recommended option especially for international patients who cannot visit frequently. #MedicalAestheticNews #HuonsMeditech #DermaShine_Duo_RF #ClimClinic_Myeongdong #Dr_HoYeon_Choi ★ Article Link: https://www.aestheticnews.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=10960

 Professor Wonserk Kim of Kangbuk Samsung Hospital has published a comparative study on single-pulse and six-pulse modes of the 1,064 nm Q-switched Nd: YAG laser, using LTRA Global’s Miin Laser as the research device. According to Professor Kim, the six-pulse mode of the Miin Laser divides the same total energy into six consecutive sub-pulses, enhancing melanin-targeting efficiency while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. He explained that this mechanism works like receiving several gentle taps instead of one strong punch—lower peak power, yet safer and more effective overall. Introducing the concepts of Thermal Stacking and the Dual Effect, Professor Kim highlighted that the Miin Laser can simultaneously target melanin and stimulate dermal remodeling, achieving both pigment correction and collagen regeneration in a single procedure. Through this study, Professor Kim hopes to encourage physicians to re-examine the fundamental structure and operating principles of Q-switched ...

 Dr. Jeongwoo Lee of Elev Clinic continues his hands-on demonstration of the combination treatment using PRX-PLUS and Soprano Titanium. In Part 2, he sequentially demonstrates the Soprano Titanium SHR mode and PRX-PLUS. The SHR mode delivers heat to the superficial layer of the skin to improve elasticity, and while it does not damage the skin barrier, it helps enhance the absorption rate of PRX-PLUS. The final PRX-PLUS treatment consists of three steps. The P Solution helps to soothe skin irritation, PRX-PLUS is then applied in an upward massaging motion to reach the dermal layer, and the dedicated post-treatment cream supports skin regeneration and protection. PRX-PLUS provides pigmentation reduction and skin-strengthening effects in a non-invasive way,and when combined with laser, HIFU, or RF treatments,its absorption and effectiveness are maximized. Be sure to watch Dr. Lee’s hands-on demonstration, where he shares that he now applies PRX-PLUS after all treatments. #MedicalAesth...

 Dr. Kunwoo Kang of Newstar Clinic, widely visited by Japanese patients, has released a hands-on demonstration sharing his clinical techniques with XERF.

Dr. Kang describes XERF as a next-generation RF lifting device featuring powerful energy delivery and highly stable cooling technology, noting that it has shown particularly high satisfaction among patients in their 40s and older. The full hands-on video can be viewed through the homepage link in the profile. #MedicalAestheticNews...

 On November 22nd, a 'Helios785PICO Roundtable Meeting' was held at Forever Clinic's Cheongdam branch. Dr. Younghan Seo emphasized that the 'Helios785PICO' can be utilized as a rejuvenation platform beyond a simple pigment removal device. He explained that the combination of 1064nm and 785nm wavelengths is effective for addressing pigmentation, fine lines, pores, redness, and texture improvement in the complex skin concerns of Korean patients (Fitzpatrick types 3-4). He noted that since the maximum output was upgraded from 200mJ to 250mJ, plasma formation speed and shot uniformity have improved, resulting in immediate clinical improvements. In the hands-on session that followed, Dr. Seo demonstrated practical tips for actual treatment procedures and detailed techniques he has developed through clinical experience. He assessed that slow aging and multimodal treatments are becoming central to the medical aesthetics market.  #MedicalAestheticNews #LASEROPTEK #Helios785...

 Dr. Hosung Choi of Piena Clinic has released Part 2 of his hands-on demonstration showcasing the practical technique and clinical insights behind the Re2WAVE procedure. Re2WAVE is a cocktail treatment that combines Elravie Re2O with HILO WAVE, delivered using the Dermashine PRO equipped with a 32G needle. This session covers real clinical techniques, treatment steps, precautions, and area-specific tips.

 Dr. Yoojin Kang of Erune Clinic unveils the practical Sylfirm X treatment process in Part 2 of her hands-on video, demonstrating how she combines CW and PW modes for optimal skin rejuvenation. Dr. Kang explains that CW mode targets the deeper reticular dermis to promote Type I collagen regeneration, followed by PW mode, which stimulates the papillary dermis to improve skin elasticity and reduce redness simultaneously. In acne treatments, she notes that CW mode is particularly effective in coagulating overactive sebaceous glands, helping to suppress excess sebum production and reduce recurrence. After the procedure, PDRN, exosomes, and other regenerative ingredients are applied to enhance healing, and, when necessary, treatments such as a 1450 nm or Genesis laser are combined to boost results further. Dr. Kang emphasizes that Sylfirm X offers a safe, fast-recovery skin regeneration solution that causes minimal irritation and allows patients to resume daily activities right away....
