What are the special services offered by Dermatology in South Korea in 2026? Exclusive treatments include EMFACE, INMODE Titanium Lifting, and ultrasonic lifting.

When going to South Korea for skin care treatments, what is people most afraid of? It’s not the language barrier, but rather “not knowing what to do”.

Upon entering the clinic, the receptionist handed me a long list of treatments: Pico, Thermage, HIFU, INMODE, EMFACE… These names all sound advanced, but which one is actually suitable for me?

Today, I will break down for you the unique features of South Korea’s XENIA CLINIC in the field of medical aesthetics.

The secret to the success of this popular clinic in Gangnam District lies in three top-of-the-line devices: EMFACE (a dual anti-aging treatment for facial muscles and skin), INMODE Titanium Lifting (radiofrequency lipolysis for a tighter silhouette), and the Korean version of HIFU (which targets the SMAS fascia layer directly).

Who is each treatment suitable for, how should it be performed, and how long will it take to see results? Keep reading – you’ll understand everything in just five minutes.

I. Who is Skin Clinic Shilaya from South Korea? Let’s get to know this clinic first ⭐

Before discussing the project, it is necessary to understand the position of this clinic within South Korea’s medical aesthetics industry.

• Korean name: XENIA CLINIC
• Chinese names: Shiliya Dermatology / XENIA Dermatology
• Address: 4th Floor, Seosan Building, 441 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul
• Transportation: About a 3-minute walk from Gangnam Station on Line 3 of the subway or the ANEW Bundang Line.
• Opening Hours: Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM, with no lunch break.
• Representative Director: Kim Min-soo, with 15 years of experience and providing services in four languages.

Shi Liya is not that kind of general plastic surgery clinic that tries to do everything but excels in nothing.

It focuses on non-surgical skin care, targeting a specific group of people: those who are afraid of surgery, the recovery process, or being bombarded with sales pitches, but still desire to see tangible results.

The three core tools mentioned in the article title are precisely these three devices.

II. EMFACE Dermatology’s Featured Services ①: Meface – The cutting-edge technology that gives your face a “workout” 💪

EMFACE is the most exclusive product of Shilaiya Dermatology.

It is neither a laser nor an injection, nor an HIFU device – it is the world’s first instrument that simultaneously targets both the facial muscles and the skin.

1. Technical principle: HIFES + RF combined approach

Traditional anti-aging treatments only focus on one aspect: either using Thermage to treat the skin or employing HIFU to target the fascia.

EMFACE hits two targets with one shot:

• HIFES (high-intensity electric fields) stimulate the facial muscles to cause intense contractions, essentially providing the face with a form of “strength training”.
• Monopolar radiofrequency (RF) → heats the dermis and fascia of the skin, promoting the regeneration of Collagen

To put it simply: while other anti-aging treatments are like applying a mask to the skin, EMFACE allows the skin to perform both “squats” and “mask application” at the same time.

2. Clinical results speak for themselves

3. Who is it suitable for?

• After the age of 30, facial sagging and blurred jawlines often become noticeable.
• I feel like my face is “falling down,” but it’s not yet at the point where I need to have facial surgery.
• Fear of pain and the recovery period (EMFACE does not require anesthesia, so you can go shopping right after the procedure).
• I have undergone treatments with Thermage/HIFU, but I feel that the issue of “loose muscle layers” has not been resolved.

Po Liya price: Starting from ¥9.199 million

III. Special Services at Dermatology of Seoul I in South Korea: INMODE Titanium Lifting – The “instant magic” that shows results right after the procedure ⚡

INMODE Titanium Lifting is one of the most popular services at Shiliya Dermatology.

Because it meets a fundamental psychological need: after the procedure, one can immediately see the results when looking in the mirror.

1. Technical principle: Radiofrequency precise heating

INMODE utilizes adjustable radiofrequency energy to penetrate deep into the skin:

• Immediate effect – Radiofrequency heating causes collagen fibers to contract immediately, resulting in instantly defined contours.
• Long-term effect: It stimulates fibroblast cells to continuously produce new collagen, and the effects peak after 8 to 12 weeks.

What’s even more remarkable is its intelligent ONDO control system – it measures the skin’s ONDO 10 times per second and automatically adjusts the energy output. This ensures that it won’t cause burns, nor will it result in ineffective treatment due to insufficient energy.

2. Three classic treatment areas

3. Who is it suitable for?

• I have a date/foto shoot in the afternoon, so I’ll come in the morning to get ready right away.
• If your mouth corners sag and your jawline becomes less defined, you want to make your face look more “tightened”.
• Time is limited (the entire procedure takes approximately 20–30 minutes).
• After the procedure, you can immediately apply makeup and go out without any need for recovery time.

Price for Shiliya treatments: ¥945,000 to ¥150,000 per treatment area

A REDnote user shared: “The INMODE treatment is really amazing! After the treatment in the nasolabial area, the contours became much clearer – it’s like having used a facial slimming effect!”

IV. SWOMAN Dermatology’s Featured Service ③: Korean-style Ultrasound Lifting – The “invisible facelift” for the SMAS fascial layer 🎯

If your main concern is that “your entire face seems to sink downward” – the Apple Zone sags towards the corners of your mouth, the jawline becomes curved, and your face lacks definition when viewed from the side – then the Korean-style ultrasonic lifting procedure is exactly what you need.

1. Technical principle: HIFU targets SMAS directly.

The Korean version of ultrasonic lifting treatment (Shurink) uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).

• Ultrasonic energy penetrates through the epidermis and dermis, reaching directly the SMAS fascia layer – the same layer that is targeted during facelift surgeries.
• Creating tiny thermal coagulation points in the fascia layer stimulates tissue contraction and promotes collagen regeneration.
• It is non-invasive and does not cause skin damage; after the procedure, there may only be temporary redness.

Differences from the Ulthrea: Both utilize HIFU technology, but the Shuli version represents the third-generation upgraded model from South Korea, featuring more even energy distribution, less pain, and a more affordable price.

2. The entire treatment area is fully covered.

Forehead, eye corners, Nasolabial Fold Correction, jawline, Double Chin, Apple Zone, neck wrinkles – these seven key areas can all be tailored individually.

VI. How to choose among the three top options in South Korea’s Dermatology field? One table makes it all clear 📊

All three projects sound impressive, but the real question is: “Which one is right for me?”

Choose based on the problem you most want to solve:

VIII. Why is Dermatology in South Korea able to excel in these areas? The secret behind not following a mass-production model 🔑

No matter how advanced the equipment is, if the person performing the procedure isn’t competent, the results will be significantly diminished. Shi Liya has managed to build a solid reputation for these top-tier treatments thanks to these four key factors:

A face-to-face consultation is not just a formality.

Director Kim Min-soo’s consultation sessions last for 30 to 60 minutes; it’s not a matter of “writing a prescription after just a quick look”.

The doctor will ask in detail about your skincare habits, daily routine, stress levels, and even sleeping posture (sleeping on your side can accelerate the development of Nasolabial Fold Correction). Based on the data from the VISIA skin analysis device, a personalized treatment plan will be formulated.

2. Focus on nurturing first, then treating – avoid forcing things too aggressively.

For customers with sensitive skin, doctors usually recommend “first using Sulake products to stabilize the skin, and then considering other treatments.”

This approach is extremely rare in the medical aesthetics industry, where the goal is always to “maximize the average revenue per customer.” It’s better to earn less money sometimes than to risk causing customers to suffer permanent damage to their appearance.

3. Equipment and consumables remain of the same quality.

Regular maintenance of laser equipment ensures stable energy output, effectively reducing the risk of post-treatment darkening.

The prices are 10% to 20% lower than those of similar institutions in Gangnam District, but we insist on using original and genuine consumables – we do not rely on cutting corners to compete on price.

4. No sales at all

Many customers have confirmed that doctors provide professional advice based solely on the condition of their skin, without recommending unnecessary treatments.

For those who are wary of being bombarded with sales pitches, this is a decisive factor that can generate a positive impression.

IX. How much money can be saved by getting the same treatment at Poorya Dermatology in South Korea as in China? 💰

The same Thermage FLX, the same EMFACE – is the price difference between having the treatment in China and in Seoul large enough to cover the cost of a plane ticket?

Answer: Not only is it enough, but there will even be some surplus.

When you add in the tax refund (about 7-10%), the actual cost is even lower.

The money saved by undertaking these two projects is roughly enough to buy a round-trip ticket from Shanghai to Seoul.

X. Six Most Frequently Asked Questions by Customers at Skin Clinic Shilaya in South Korea 💬

Q1: I don’t speak Korean – can Shiliya still communicate with me?

Don’t worry at all.

During the entire process, Shi Liya was accompanied by a Chinese-speaking supervisor who provided translation services throughout – from the appointment stage to the actual procedure and even during the post-treatment follow-up. The hospital director was also able to communicate in both English and basic Chinese.

Q2: Can EMFACE, INMODE, and ultrasonic lifting be used together?

It is not recommended to perform multiple procedures on the same day.

Each of these three treatments focuses on different layers of the skin: EMFACE targets the muscle layer, ultrasonic lifting treats the fascia layer, while INMODE acts on both the dermis and fat layers. Doctors will customize a treatment plan based on the condition of your skin, usually recommending intervals of 2 to 4 weeks between sessions to allow sufficient time for recovery and response.

Q3: What is the difference between EMFACE Meface and Thermage? Which one should I choose?

Key difference: Thermage only focuses on tightening the skin, while EMFACE targets both muscles and skin.

If you are under 35 years old and have just started to notice signs of skin laxity, Thermage is sufficient for your needs. However, if you are 40 or older, feel that your face can no longer retain its firmness, and not only is the epidermis loose but also the muscle layer has weakened — then EMFACE is more suitable for you.

Q4: Are the prices of Shiliya really the same in China and Korea? Will they charge foreigners more?

Multiple bloggers in South Korea and users on the BeautsGO platform have confirmed that prices are set uniformly, regardless of nationality.

The price list is posted on the wall, and both South Koreans and foreigners can see it. This is also the key reason why Shiliya has been able to earn the trust of local customers.

Q5: Can I apply makeup immediately after the INMODE treatment and go out?

Sure. INMODE is non-invasive and does not cause skin damage; after the procedure, there is only slight redness.

Many people deliberately schedule their INMODE treatments in the morning and then go on dates or take photos in the afternoon, when the contours of their faces are at their most distinct.

Q6: What payment methods does Shiliya support? Is tax refund possible?

We accept cash, credit cards, Alipay, and WeChat Pay.

You can get a tax refund – don’t forget to bring your passport. If your purchase amount reaches ₩30,000 or more, you can go through the tax refund process at the airport and receive a 7-10% rebate. Just inform the front desk when checking out that you need a tax refund form.

It is recommended to make an appointment for a consultation through the BeautsGO platform before your trip. The Chinese-speaking director will confirm your skin concerns in advance, so you can proceed directly upon arrival at the clinic without waiting. Director Kim Min-soo personally conducts all consultations and takes care of everything herself, without delegating tasks to interns—this is a quite rare arrangement in South Korea’s Dermatology clinics.

Three top-tier devices + a reliable director + transparent pricing identical to that in China and South Korea – When it comes to skin care treatments in Seoul, Silla is definitely worth adding to your list of options.
