How we plan your treatment at Seolreim

Your doctor considers skin laxity, fullness and facial structure together, then assesses the proposed area and handpiece. This makes the consultation relevant to your face or body and to your previous treatments. Continued care is planned around your response and visit schedule.

A doctor at every clinical step

  1. Consultation with your doctor

    Every patient discusses their concerns directly with a doctor. We consider skin type, medical history, previous procedures and the changes you hope to see.

  2. An individual medical plan

    Your doctor assesses whether treatment is appropriate, then explains the proposed areas, method and amount, expected changes, limitations and precautions.

  3. Treatment performed by a doctor

    A doctor carries out the medical procedure according to your assessed skin condition and agreed plan. Genuine products, appropriate doses and attentive care are our practice principles.

  4. Continuity with your treating doctor

    Our primary-doctor approach connects consultation, treatment and ongoing care. Your prior procedures and response inform the next decision, including whether further treatment is needed.

Medical team & consultation schedule

Your questions about care at Seolreim

What does safety mean in your day-to-day care?

Our history is supported by a doctor-led process: reviewing your skin and health history, assessing suitability, explaining risks and providing treatment-specific care guidance. Experience informs these decisions; every medical procedure still has risks and individual recovery varies.

Can I continue care with a doctor who knows my treatment history?

Our primary-doctor system is designed around continuity of care. Tell us your previous treatment and preferred doctor when arranging a visit so we can confirm their schedule. International visitors should also share departure dates and confirm how follow-up will be arranged before treatment.

Understanding the treatment

ONDA uses microwave energy, marketed as Coolwaves, with different handpieces for selected contour and skin-laxity concerns. It is different from ultrasound lifting. The proposed area, handpiece and your tissue characteristics matter more than the treatment name alone.

Before you decide

Is my concern loose skin or unwanted fullness?

Describe what bothers you rather than choosing energy settings yourself. The doctor should distinguish laxity, fat distribution and facial structure before deciding whether ONDA is suitable.

What should the treatment plan specify?

Confirm the exact device, handpiece, treatment area and session plan. A body-treatment package and a submental treatment should not be treated as interchangeable.

Can I fit treatment into a short Seoul visit?

Ask about expected tenderness, swelling or other marks and how to contact the clinic if they persist. Mention your departure date, previous treatments and any implanted devices before booking.

What your quote should include

Device and handpiece, treatment area, energy or session plan, included care and tax. Request a quote for the actual proposed area.

Recovery & precautions

Heat-based procedures can cause discomfort, redness or burns. Ask about risks for the exact area and your medical history; do not assume treatment is suitable for every face or body shape.

General information for planning a consultation. Results, risks and recovery vary; an individual medical assessment is required.
