Q&A

The two procedures differ in their principles and depth of action. Ultherapy delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) down to the SMAS (fascial) layer with the goal of improving facial sagging and refining facial contours, while Thermage evenly delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy from the epidermis to the dermis to treat fine lines and manage overall skin elasticity. In terms of pain, Thermage tends to be relatively less painful compared to Ultherapy. If your primary concerns are loss of elasticity and facial contours, Ultherapy is recommended; if you are concerned with fine wrinkles and overall elasticity, Thermage is recommended, and the two procedures are sometimes combined depending on skin type and individual concerns.

Because these three devices differ in their mechanisms of action and target areas for improvement, we guide you to the more suitable device after an in-person consultation evaluating your facial fat amount, skin thickness, direction of sagging, and skin condition. INMODE targets fat in the double chin, jawline, and lower face using vacuum suction and radiofrequency (RF), while ONDA mainly addresses submental fat and skin laxity using 2.45GHz microwaves. Olewave utilizes an extracorporeal shock wave method without thermal stimulation, making it an option for those who feel burdened by the heat sensations of radiofrequency or ultrasound. If necessary, the distinct roles of each device can be combined.

Although there are individual differences, some patients feel a tightening sensation immediately after the procedure, and gradual improvement can be expected over 2~4 weeks. Depending on your condition, we recommend around 3 sessions at 1-month intervals or regular maintenance management. The procedure takes about 20~30 minutes after applying numbing cream, and patients often find the sensation tolerable. Results and recovery times may vary depending on the individual.

While all of them are energy-based procedures, the types of energy, delivery methods, and target tissues are different. Tune Face manages elasticity and contours by gradually heating facial tissues using the 40.68MHz radiofrequency (RF) of Accent Prime. At Golden Diamant, we first distinguish whether sagging, fat, or volume loss is making the facial line look heavy, and then design treatment only for the necessary areas. We determine whether to perform it alone or in combination based on skin thickness, the condition of fat and volume, and the desired changes.

It depends on hair thickness and density, the growth cycle of each area, and previous treatment responses. The Apogee+ is a 755nm Alexandrite laser that responds better to hair in the growth phase, making it difficult to reduce all hair in a single session and often requiring multiple repeated treatments. Rather than mechanically repeating a predetermined number of sessions, Golden Diamant checks the condition of the skin and remaining hair at each session to adjust the next settings and intervals. Please do not pluck hairs before the procedure, and shave instead.

It depends on energy, density, and skin response. After the procedure, redness, heat sensation, swelling, oozing, fine scabs, and brown color changes may appear, and these changes can persist for several days or more, so skin type and past hyperpigmentation reactions are also considered together. During recovery, do not forcefully peel off scabs, and thoroughly maintain moisturizing and sun protection. If you have an important schedule, it is recommended to plan with ample time to spare, and recovery timing may vary depending on the individual.

CureJet is a jet-injection device that delivers drugs or active ingredients into the skin using a micro-jet driven by air pressure instead of conventional injection needles. Genuine nozzles are single-use medical devices, and Golden Diamant strictly adheres to the principle of one per person, single-use. However, not all pores and scars are treated with CureJet alone, so for deep or tethered scars, other approaches such as fractional lasers, needle RF, or subcision may take priority or be combined. Temporary redness, swelling, fine pinpoint marks, or bruising may appear after the procedure.

No. It is different from treatments that directly inject stem cells themselves. Golden Diamant's Exosome program is based on ASCE+ SRLV developed by ExoCoBio, which is a professional skin solution formulated by isolating and purifying exosomes from stem cell conditioned media using ExoSCRT™ technology. Whether and when it is applied is determined after comprehensively evaluating the skin barrier condition, dryness, redness, and history of recent laser or energy-based procedures.

Rejuran is a PN-based biomaterial for tissue restoration, classified as a Skin Booster at Golden Diamant. While fillers are mainly used to supplement volume and contours, Rejuran aims to improve the skin and fine lines. However, depending on whether fine lines are due to dryness, heavily influenced by facial expressions, or caused by the skin itself appearing thin, other procedures may be needed first rather than approaching it with Rejuran alone, which we evaluate during consultation. Detailed approval and ingredient information for the product can be verified during your consultation.

Rejuran HB (HB Plus) is a Skin Booster composed of PN combined with hyaluronic acid and the local anesthetic lidocaine. However, the name HB does not automatically make it the better choice; we evaluate skin dryness, skin thinness, the location of fine lines, and even pain sensitivity to determine whether standard Rejuran or HB Plus is more suitable. Because it contains lidocaine, please be sure to inform us in advance if you have any history of hypersensitivity to it.

For under-eye concerns, we begin by distinguishing the cause. Hollowness can be a volume issue, dark circles can be a combination of pigmentation, blood vessels, and shadows, and fine lines are heavily influenced by skin thickness and dryness. Rejuran i is an option that addresses the skin and fine lines, whereas insufficient volume may be supplemented with fillers; therefore, if fillers, Botox, or lasers are more appropriate, we do not insist solely on Rejuran i. Swelling and bruising can be more noticeable around the eyes than in other areas.

Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that fill space immediately, Juvelook is a collagen booster procedure that induces the skin to produce collagen on its own. The porous microparticles of the PDLLA component gradually decompose within the body, inducing self-collagen synthesis. While individual results may vary, patients generally feel their skin becoming firmer starting from 1~2 weeks, with volume gradually building up around one month later. Three sessions are recommended, and results may vary depending on the individual.

Radiesse is a procedure that creates an elasticity support structure using a hyperdilution technique, in which the CaHA (calcium hydroxyapatite) component is diluted and injected, inducing self-collagen and elastin production over time. Because it is a particulate component, there is a possibility of particle clumping; therefore, at Golden Diamant, we measure skin thickness and sagging to determine the dilution ratio and injection points tailored to the skin's condition. The procedure takes about 30 minutes~1 hour with cream anesthesia or local anesthesia, and 3 sessions are recommended. Results and recovery time may vary depending on the individual.

Re2O is a procedure aimed at improving skin density and complexion by replenishing the dermal layer with hADM (human acellular dermal matrix), a human-derived dermal component. While Juvelook (HA+PDLLA) or Radiesse (CaHA) focus on volume and collagen production, Re2O differs in that it directly replenishes the dermal structure. At Golden Diamant, we distinguish between inner dryness and decreased elasticity to determine the appropriate depth for each area; the procedure takes about 20~40 minutes with cream or local anesthesia, and 3 sessions are recommended.

While regular Botox treats wrinkles by injecting botulinum toxin directly into the facial expression muscles, Skin Botox is a method where micro-amounts are injected shallowly and densely into the thin layer of the skin (intradermally). It aims to manage skin texture, skin tone, fine lines, and pore concerns together, and changes in skin texture and elasticity may gradually appear starting 1~2 weeks after the procedure. The procedure takes about 10~15 minutes after topical anesthetic cream, and results may vary depending on the individual.

Square jaw Botox is a treatment that injects Botox into the masseter muscle, while calf and trapezius Botox inject it into their respective muscles to relax them. The principle is that muscle size decreases as the relaxed muscles are used less. Square jaw Botox is recommended for those whose jawlines are prominent due to overdeveloped masticatory muscles, or those with severe teeth grinding during sleep. The timing and extent of the effects vary depending on the individual.

Please apply makeup or wash your face preferably 2~3 hours after the procedure, and it is recommended not to rub the treated area or lie down for 3~4 hours so that the drug does not spread. Please avoid alcohol, smoking, saunas, meridian massage, and strenuous exercise for about 1 week after the procedure. Mild bruising and swelling may occur, but they will disappear naturally over time; if severe redness or swelling persists in the treated area, please contact the clinic immediately. Recovery times may vary depending on the individual.
