[Seongsu/Ttukseom] What if your eyes feel heavy after forehead Botox? This is Sio Clinic, a dermatology clinic in Seongsu-dong/Ttukseom Station. During consultations, I often hear patients say, "Doctor, I'm afraid to get Botox because I heard it makes it hard to open your eyes and causes 'sausage eyes'!" I frequently meet people who are hesitant and fearful despite needing the procedure. Whenever I hear this, I smile and ask, "Which doctor told you that?" Then, the patients often laugh sheepishly and reply, "Actually, I don't think it was a doctor. I just read it online or heard it from people around me!" Many people miss out on necessary care due to false rumors or extreme reviews.
Peanut-Shaped Face and Hilo Wave: Why You Shouldn't Just Fill It In. Hello, this is Sio Clinic. Do you feel stressed because your forehead and jawline look relatively slim in the mirror, but your mid-face area looks disproportionately prominent and wide? Many people have a 'peanut-shaped face' where the mid-face curves are emphasized compared to the upper and lower width of the face, even if they don't have much fat overall. While many are looking into Hilo Wave treatments for a natural, non-surgical improvement, is simply filling in the hollow areas really the right answer?

[Seongsu/Ttukseom] Why Sio Clinic Introduced Serf Instead of Thermage. Hello, this is Sio Clinic. If you are interested in lifting procedures these days, you have likely heard the names 'Thermage' or 'Serf' at least once. "Isn't Thermage the go-to for radiofrequency lifting?" "How is Serf different from Thermage?" "They say it's less painful, but is it really effective?" Our patients often ask us these questions. When considering elasticity treatments, many people focus solely on trendy devices or brand names. However, skin thickness, the direction of sagging, and the depth to which energy needs to reach vary from person to person...
[Ttukseom/Seongsu] Sio Clinic Hilo Wave Price Natural Volume, Elasticity. Hello, this is Sio Clinic. It is summer, with the midday heat and intense UV rays continuing. Due to the hot and humid weather, sweat and sebum secretion increase, and as time spent exposed to air conditioning grows, moisture within the skin is drying out rapidly. Today, I would like to introduce 'Hilo Wave,' a special solution from Sio Clinic for skin that has become tired and lost its vitality due to external summer stimuli. Sio Clinic Hilo Wave. Hilo Wave is a procedure that goes beyond simply replenishing temporary moisture; it activates the skin's natural regeneration process to restore elasticity. Existing skin care was temporary...
[Seongsu/Ttukseom] Top 5 Most Popular Procedures at Sio Clinic and Their Effects. Hello, this is Sio Clinic. Because the form and depth of skin aging vary for everyone, the concerns of those who visit us are inevitably diverse. Among them, there are certain procedures that many people consistently seek. Today, we will summarize the features and general principles of the five most popular procedures at Sio Clinic so you can understand them at a glance, and explain how each procedure works. 1. Ultherapy, the power to lift from deep within. As we age, the feeling of skin gradually sagging and facial lines blurring is a common change experienced during the aging process. Beneath the skin surface, there is a firm fibrous membrane structure that supports elasticity...
Arm fat reduction procedures, why Onda lifting alone may not be enough. Hello, this is Sio Clinic. As summer approaches, more people are considering body procedures to wear off-shoulder or thin clothing. In particular, 'arm fat' is one of the areas that is notoriously difficult to lose even with exercise and diet, so many people inquire about lifting or injection procedures for faster results. Is one session of Onda lifting really enough for arm fat removal? There is high demand for improving arm lines with Onda lifting, but there is one point to address first. Onda lifting is optimized for overall line refinement and elasticity improvement rather than destroying fat cells themselves. In other words, if you have a thick layer of fat on your arms...
Deep Cheek Sagging Treatment, If You Look Older Due to Deep Cheek Fat. Many people worry that their facial lines look duller than before and that their nasolabial folds appear deeper as their deep cheek fat (Deep Fat Pad) sags. This is often not just due to weight gain, but rather changes in the position of the Deep Fat Pad and a decrease in skin elasticity. The deep cheek fat is a deep layer of fat inside the face that shifts downward as the retaining ligaments and skin elasticity weaken with age. This can make the face look heavy and tired, blur the jawline, and make sagging more pronounced. However, deep cheek sagging cannot be solved simply by strong lifting. Deep cheek sagging treatment requires consideration of fat position, skin thickness, and retaining ligaments...
[Seongsu/Ttukseom] Why Hylowave is Better Than Fillers for Under-Eye Hollows and Dark Circles. Hello, this is Sio Clinic. Many people often hear that they look tired or find themselves staring in the mirror for a long time because they feel they look significantly older. Even if you carefully cover the dark shadows with cosmetics or concealer, they quickly darken again as time passes, leading many to consider fundamental changes. While people often think of immediate volume-filling methods, the thin and sensitive skin around the eyes requires a more cautious approach. Today, Sio Clinic will explain an alternative that naturally restores your skin's inherent vitality. 1. The limitations of covering under-eye hollows with makeup...

Fat-dissolving ingredient Cholic Acid (CA) fat-destruction injection, NUVIJU. Even with diligent exercise and diet management, some areas, particularly under the chin, may remain unchanged. Many people are concerned about a double chin that persists even after the face has slimmed down. A double chin is often caused by a combination of fat distribution, skin elasticity, and genetic factors, rather than just weight gain, making weight loss alone insufficient for satisfactory results. Recently, various non-surgical treatments have been used to improve submental fat, and NUVIJU, approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, is gaining attention as a new option. Today, at Sio Clinic, we will discuss what NUVIJU is...
Solar lentigo treatment, does it all disappear just by getting laser? Many people are troubled by brown spots that stand out every time they look in the mirror. Most think of them as 'melasma,' but in reality, they are often solar lentigines. While solar lentigines are a pigmentary disorder that generally responds well to treatment, not all solar lentigines are the same. The difficulty and results of treatment can vary depending on the condition of the lentigo and the skin type. Today, Sio Clinic shares the characteristics of solar lentigines that are relatively easy to treat, along with treatment methods to increase satisfaction. 1. The rounder and more clearly defined the solar lentigo, the easier it is to treat. Solar lentigines that respond well to treatment are mostly round like a coin and have clear boundaries. Although they may grow in size over time, they are often clearly distinguished from the surrounding skin.

Eyebrow Botox: Timing of Effects, Sagging, and Sio Clinic in Seongsu. If your eyebrows look saggy, is a lifting procedure always the answer? Many people feel their eyes look tired or notice their eyebrows have sagged and their eye area feels heavier than before. While many consider lifting procedures or surgery first, the cause is often not skin sagging, but the movement and balance of the muscles around the eyebrows. Eyebrows are not just hair; they are important structures connected to muscles that create various expressions and influence how we open and close our eyes. A natural eye shape is created by the balance between muscles that lift the brow and those that pull it down, and...

Arrowhead nose Botox, why do people say it doesn't work? Hello, this is Sio Clinic. In our consultation room, we often meet patients who express disappointment, saying, "I've tried arrowhead nose Botox, but it had absolutely no effect." Even when looking at online reviews, opinions on arrowhead nose Botox are sharply divided. Why do some see results while others don't? To give you the conclusion first, it is because the procedure was performed without accurately distinguishing between 'noses that can be corrected with Botox' and 'noses that cannot.' Today, I will clearly explain the true principles of arrowhead nose Botox and who it is effective for.
Post-Care and Recommended Guidelines After Flat Wart Removal in Seongsu-dong. "I haven't done anything bad to my skin, so why did these strange bumps appear?" It is natural to feel bewildered when you suddenly notice bumpy textures spreading around your eyes or neck, even when you haven't had any bad habits and have maintained your skincare routine well. However, this phenomenon called 'flat warts' is not caused by any major mistake. It is closer to an immune response that occurs due to minor habits like unconsciously scratching your skin, or when your body is tired and fatigued. Please don't be too upset, as it is not your fault. However, to treat the existing condition cleanly...
Hello, this is Sio Clinic. We have been receiving many inquiries about fat-dissolving injections lately. As a clinic that researches and performs these procedures in detail, we believe that beyond effectiveness, it is crucial to exclude unnecessary ingredients. We believe that a fat-dissolving injection should be designed to be clean rather than aggressive. Many people asking about our 'Clean Cut' procedure often inquire about the dosage (cc) or how quickly it works. While dosage is important, it is even more critical to check which ingredients are included and, more importantly, which ones are excluded. A fat-dissolving injection should not just be about making the face look slimmer for a moment...
The most common questions from those considering fat-dissolving or fat-destruction injections at Sio Clinic in Seongsu/Ttukseom are similar: "How many cc's are injected?" "How fast does it work?" "How many sessions are needed?" While dosage is important, there is something even more critical to consider when choosing a fat-destruction injection: which ingredients are included, and which ones are not. Fat-destruction injections should not just be about making the face look slimmer temporarily; the goal should be to create a natural and clean contour by precisely managing unnecessary fat layers. That is why the ingredient formulation must also be clean...
