Equipment guide
General information on devices used in Korean dermatology. The partner clinic's own equipment list is confirmed when the clinic joins; ask to see the device and its sealed tip before treatment.
- HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) with real-time imagingUltherapyUltherapy is a focused-ultrasound device built around live imaging, and it is usually weighed against other lifting tools when the concern is deeper laxity.
- HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) with real-time imagingUltherapy PRIMEUltherapy PRIME is the newer generation of the imaging-guided focused-ultrasound line, relevant to readers comparing it with the original and with other HIFU units.
- HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound)Shurink UniverseShurink Universe is a Korean-made HIFU unit, usually compared with other ultrasound lifting devices that lack an imaging display.
- HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound)Doublo GoldDoublo Gold is a Korean HIFU device that readers often place next to other ultrasound lifting options when weighing cartridge choices and treatment depth.
- HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) with pen-type applicatorLifteraLiftera is a HIFU system with a pen-type applicator, which changes how it reaches small areas compared with larger-cartridge ultrasound units.
- Synchronous ultrasound parallel beam (SUPERB) technologySofwaveSofwave uses a parallel-beam ultrasound design that differs from point-by-point HIFU, so it is usually compared as a gentler, shallower alternative.
- Monopolar RF (radiofrequency)Thermage FLXThermage FLX is a monopolar radiofrequency platform, and the useful comparison is how broad radiofrequency heating differs from focused ultrasound and microneedle RF.
- Monopolar RF (6.78 MHz)OligioOligio is a Korean 6.78 MHz monopolar RF device, often compared with other radiofrequency lifting units that differ in frequency, tip and cooling.
- Monopolar and bipolar RF (6.78 MHz)DensityDensity combines monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency, so it is usually considered when a plan calls for both deeper warming and a shallower tightening effect.
- Monopolar RF (6.78 MHz) with water coolingVolnewmerVolnewmer is a monopolar RF device with water cooling, and the cooling system is the feature most relevant when comparing it with other RF units.
- Multi-frequency monopolar RF (2 MHz and 6.78 MHz)XERFXERF is a multi-frequency monopolar RF device, so its main contrast with other RF units is that it can heat at two different depths.
- Monopolar RF (radiofrequency)10THERMA10THERMA is a monopolar RF device from TENTECH, grouped with other radiofrequency lifting tools for mild to moderate laxity.
- Unipolar RF (40.68 MHz)TuneFaceTuneFace uses 40.68 MHz unipolar RF, a higher frequency than most lifting units, which changes where it fits among RF options.
- Bipolar RF with temperature controlInMode FormaInMode Forma is a bipolar RF device with temperature control, so it is usually considered for surface tightening and firmness rather than deeper lifting.
- Microwave energy (2.45 GHz Coolwaves)ONDAONDA uses microwave energy, and the central comparison is how it affects fat and skin laxity differently from RF and ultrasound devices.
- Nd:YAG (1064 nm) and Er:YAG (2940 nm) laser protocolFotona 4DFotona 4D is a protocol that combines Nd:YAG and Er:YAG lasers, so it spans both lifting and resurfacing comparisons.
- Infrared light skin tighteningTitanTitan uses infrared light to warm the dermis, and it is usually compared with RF and ultrasound as a non-contact style of skin tightening.
- Microneedle radiofrequencyPotenzaPotenza is a microneedle RF device, grouped with other fractional RF units that treat scars, pores and texture from beneath the surface.
- Microneedle fractional RFMorpheus8Morpheus8 is a fractional microneedle RF device, positioned among units that combine needles and heat to reach deeper than standard microneedling.
- Microneedle fractional RFSecret RFSecret RF is a Korean microneedle RF device, part of the same family as Potenza and Morpheus8 and usually compared on needle design and depth control.
- Picosecond laser (755 nm)PicoSurePicoSure is a 755 nm picosecond laser, usually compared with other pico units on pigment, scar and tattoo applications.
- Picosecond laserPicoWayPicoWay is a multi-wavelength picosecond laser, which sets it apart from single-wavelength pico units when pigment colors vary.
- Picosecond and Q-switched Nd:YAG laserDiscovery PicoDiscovery Pico can switch between picosecond and Q-switched Nd:YAG modes, which makes it a flexible option in pigment and tattoo comparisons.
- Q-switched Nd:YAG laserSpectraSpectra is a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, the workhorse comparison point for toning, tattoo removal and carbon laser peels.
- Vascular laser (532 nm and 1064 nm)Excel VExcel V combines 532 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths, which makes it a flexible choice when redness involves both surface and deeper vessels.
- Pulsed dye laser (595 nm)VbeamVbeam is the classic 595 nm pulsed dye laser, usually compared with other vascular lasers for redness and rosacea.
- Ablative fractional CO2 laserCO2 Fractional LaserThe ablative fractional CO2 laser is the strongest resurfacing tool in the energy-device group, and the key comparison is how much recovery it trades for depth.
- Non-ablative fractional laser (1550 nm / 1927 nm)FraxelFraxel is a non-ablative fractional laser, so it is the gentler resurfacing option compared with CO2 and erbium lasers.
- Hydradermabrasion systemHydraFacialHydraFacial is a hydradermabrasion system, so it sits at the gentle, no-downtime end of the facial options compared with lasers and peels.
- Microwave thermolysismiraDrymiraDry uses microwave thermolysis aimed at underarm sweat glands, so the key comparison is with injections for excessive sweating.
- Monopolar RF body contouringtruSculpttruSculpt is a monopolar RF body contouring system, usually compared with other energy devices for localized fat and firmness.
- Monopolar RF with ultrasoundExilis UltraExilis Ultra pairs monopolar RF with ultrasound, which sets it apart in body contouring and skin tightening comparisons.
- Multi-polar RF with pulsed magnetic fieldsVenus FreezeVenus Freeze combines multi-polar RF with pulsed magnetic fields, a gentle approach to tightening and contour compared with deeper energy devices.
- HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) for the bodyULFITULFIT is a body-focused HIFU device, so it differs from the RF and microwave options by concentrating ultrasound energy in points within the fat layer.
- Digital skin analysis camera systemMark-VuMark-Vu is a digital skin analysis camera system, so it is used to measure and map the skin rather than to treat it.
- Dual-frequency ultrasound (local dynamic micro-massage)LDMLDM is a dual-frequency ultrasound device used for gentle skin care, so it sits at the soothing end of the options for dull or reactive skin.
