Said to be the most expensive procedure available and the ultimate in anti-aging, Thermage. Genuine…

#UltheraGoToClinic #ThermageGoToClinic #TitaniumGoToClinic #CheongdamANZDermatology Half of February has already passed. Are your New Year's resolutions holding up~? Thankfully, I had a busy end of the year and am having an even busier start to this one :) I'm always grateful to everyone who has visited us, and I will repay you by becoming even better. 202…

Lifting treatments for youthful-looking skin are now becoming a necessity rather than a choice. Among them, Ulthera (ULTHERAPY) has established itself as the byword for lifting treatments. It has become so famous that hardly anyone hasn't heard of it. But now, a device that has evolved one step further, Ultherapy PRIME (Ulthe…
Information worth knowing before a treatment, differences between devices and how to choose, and stories about aftercare.
Taken from the blog of dermatology specialist Dr. Cho Young-min, Medical Director.

It's already been two months. I came back after successfully(?) finishing the in-house lecture on Ultherapy PRIME for Merz Aesthetics held in August. After giving my first in-house lecture in 2024, I stood in front of the staff again two years later, and having done it once, I was a little less nervous haha. In 2025, Merz Aesthetics selected 20 dermatology/plas…

In the end, who are the people most satisfied after receiving Sofwave? Today is the final story in the Sofwave series. So far I have explained how Sofwave works, why focused ultrasound (HIFU) creates thermal columns (Thermal Column) inside the skin, and what differences it has from Ulthera 1.5TD…
The lifting combination I'm most satisfied with these days. Looking back at my recent practice, there is one case where I think, “Ah, this combination is really good.” It is Titanium and Sofwave. Satisfaction was particularly high among patients concerned about nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Today I'd like to explain why I often…
Is Sofwave better? Or is Ulthera better? Quite often, acquaintances ask me for lifting advice by phone or KakaoTalk, and there is probably one question that dermatologists all hear in common. “Doctor, is Sofwave better? Or is Ulthera better?” Honestly, every time I hear this question, inside I always have the same…

How does Sofwave lift the skin? These days there is a question I hear really often in the clinic. “Doctor, I heard Sofwave is that good?” Then I always ask one thing back. “Do you happen to know why it's good?” Most people smile and say, “I came because I heard it's good.” and…

Lifting is not a treatment that “pulls” the skin. It's been a while since I last wrote. When I do lifting consultations, there is a question I hear very often. “Doctor, isn't lifting a treatment that pulls the face upward?” Honestly, I think it's natural for people to think that way. ‘Lifting’…

Our ANZ Dermatology Clinic made a fresh start in a new space as of December 8, 2025. After three and a half years near Gangnam-gu Office Station, we are now waiting for you at 6–7F, Emporia Building, 220 Dosan-daero ☺️ The space is twice as large as before, and with four consultation rooms we operate as a one-stop…

Hello after a very long time :) This is Dr. Cho Young-min. I think it's been almost six months since I last wrote on the blog. Thankfully we receive more love every year, so I've been neglecting the blog because I simply have no energy left.. I'm just so busy, really!! We opened in June 2022, and it has now been 3 years and 3…

#CheongdamCoupleDermatology #CheongdamCoupleDoctors #CheongdamANZDermatology Finding a dermatology clinic you can trust is really hard, isn't it? Even when you try to settle down, the doctor keeps changing, which makes it unsettling to keep getting treatments, and as the consistency (and results) of treatment decline, you end up searching for yet another clinic. At Cheongdam ANZ Dermatology Clinic, our husband-and-wife directors run it together…

#MushroomNeck #BuffaloHump #NapeCallus #DowagersHump #dowagerhump #BuffaloContouring Over the end of the year and the start of the new year, I was so busy with lifting treatments that I could hardly catch my breath(?). Quite a few of the patients who come in for lifting turn out to be worried about a buffalo hump. First of all, it is possible to remove this…

#JoSeungwooHamlet #Hamlet #SeoulArtsCenter #CheongdamANZDermatology I used to write on this blog diligently.. but for the past few months I've been performing Ulthera, Thermage and Titanium treatments so frantically that I haven't even had time to write. Now that the cold wind has started to blow and things have calmed down a bit(?), I'm writing an everyday-life post haha This past October 1…

#Ulthera #DotUlthera #LetsBeConscientious #CheongdamANZDermatology Not long ago, I went to a conference where many aesthetic doctors gather and met doctors working near Gangnam Station, and I heard truly shocking news. Since the area near Gangnam Station is known for so-called “dumping”, performing Ulthera at ultra-low prices, there is hardly any margin left…

#JuvelookVolume #CheongdamANZDermatology #UltheraGoToClinic #LiftingGoToClinic #CoupleDermatology I'm writing because I have good news to share. We have finally reached 500 vials of Juvelook Volume and received a plaque :) Compared with clinics that focus mainly on Juvelook Volume, 500 vials may not be that many cases…

#UltheraGoToClinic #CheongdamUlthera #DrChoYoungmin #UltheraFullFace Merz Aesthetics, the maker of Ulthera, asked me to give an in-house lecture, so I closed the clinic on the morning of July 3 and went to give it. I was told it was the first lecture of FY24–25 and also the last lecture by a physician, so it was a very meaningful occasion :) Merz Aesthetics is…

#KwonSangwooDermatology #SonTaeyoungDermatology #CheongdamANZDermatology #DrChoYoungmin #DrKwonYoungsin It's been a while since my last everyday-life post :) Recently some very special guests paid us a visit, and I had an exciting day. They usually live in the United States, and they came to see us while back in Korea for a short time for a schedule here. Mr. Kwon Sang-woo often visits ANZ…

#UltheraFullFace #UltheraGoToClinic #CheongdamUlthera #CheongdamCoupleDermatology #UltheraCheongdamANZ Our Cheongdam ANZ Dermatology Clinic has been selected as an Ulthera Full Face dermatology clinic among the roughly 1,400 clinics in Korea that offer Ulthera. by Merz Aesthetics It is truly happy news :) This time, Ulthera…

#MushroomNeck #BuffaloHump #NapeCallus #DowagersHump #dowagerhump #BuffaloContouring Today I'd like to talk about a somewhat different treatment, rather than lifting. Have you ever seen someone with a bump sticking out like a lump at the back of the neck? As you can see in the picture, the area where the neck and the back connect protrudes…
