Skin Booster
How are Exosome and Re2O different?
Dr. Dongil ChoiExosome is based on cell signal transmitters and excels in regeneration, soothing, and tone improvement. Re2O is a high-molecular booster that fills the deep dermal layer, excelling in recovering inner dryness and elasticity. The appropriate booster is selected based on your skin condition and concerns during consultation.

Endoscopic Forehead Lift
How is it different from an eyebrow lift?
Dr. Dongil ChoiAn eyebrow lift involves excising skin above the eyebrow, while an endoscopic forehead lift dissects and fixes the fascial layer under endoscopic assistance through small incisions inside the hairline. It leaves less visible scarring and allows for a natural lift.

Doesn't the grafted fat all get absorbed?
Dr. Dongil ChoiPartial absorption of fat is a natural process, and our clinic uses a method that increases the survival rate by using only purified pure fat. Generally, the volume settled at 6 months is considered the final result.

Rejuran Healer
How is it different from fillers or Botox?
Dr. Dongil ChoiWhile fillers add volume and Botox relaxes muscles, Rejuran is a procedure that regenerates the skin itself. Receiving them together can create a synergistic effect.

What is Endotine or Fixtine?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt is a dedicated absorbable device that stably fixes the lifted tissue. It is naturally absorbed and disappears over time, while the lifted position is maintained.

Facelift
Are the incision scars visible?
Dr. Dongil ChoiBecause the incision line goes inside the hairline and along the contour of the ear, it is barely visible in daily life. It fades further over time.

Thread Lifting
Is it possible to return to daily life immediately after the procedure?
Dr. Dongil ChoiYes, as it is a non-incisional procedure, you can return to daily life immediately. However, it is recommended to avoid large facial expressions or massages for 1 to 2 weeks after the procedure.
Answered 2026.07.11
Fat Grafting
How is it different from fillers?
Dr. Dongil ChoiFillers inject synthetic materials that break down over time. Fat grafting uses your own tissue, so once engrafted, it is maintained permanently with no risk of rejection.

Endoscopic Forehead Lift
Does it cause hair loss?
Dr. Dongil ChoiAlthough the incision line is located inside the hairline, permanent hair loss rarely occurs because the incision and suturing are done in a way that protects the hair follicles. Temporary telogen effluvium may occur but will recover.
