Focus 01 · Acne & acne scars

Acne care that treats the cause, not just the breakout

Acne is rarely just one problem. There is the oil gland that overproduces, the bacteria and inflammation that turn a pore into a red bump, the pigment and redness left behind after it heals, and in some people, the scar that changes the texture of the skin for years. Treating only what you can see today is why so many people feel they are starting over every few months.

At Seongsu Melting Clinic, Dr. Park first sorts out which of those layers is driving your skin right now, then builds a plan that works on each in turn. Adult acne, hormonal flare-ups before important events, stubborn body acne and long-standing scars are all approached differently.

For active acne and oily skin

  • AccuTone 1450nm laser
    Targets the sebaceous gland, the root of oil and breakouts, without extraction or oral medication. Often used for persistent adult and inflammatory acne.
  • Gold PTT & Platinum PTT
    Photothermal therapy using gold or platinum particles to act on overactive oil glands and acne bacteria.
  • Clinical acne facials
    Black Peel, Aqua Peel and oxygen therapy to clear congestion and calm inflamed skin between laser sessions.
  • GLA gold toning
    Brightens the brown marks that stay after breakouts have settled.

For acne scars, marks and texture

  • Secret RF microneedling
    Radiofrequency delivered through fine needles to remodel collagen under rolling and boxcar scars.
  • MiraJet
    Needle-free microjet delivery with no heat, used for scars, pores and texture with little downtime.
  • Fractional CO2 laser
    Deeper resurfacing for established scars, with honest planning around recovery time.
  • Melting Glow regeneration injection
    Dr. Park's Rejuran and Plamon recipe to support healing, calm redness and improve scarred skin.
  • Noblin laser
    A dual-wavelength laser for the red marks and flushing that often follow acne.

How an acne plan usually runs

  • Skin assessment
    Type of acne, oiliness, marks and scars, and what has or hasn't worked before.
  • Calm the active acne
    Control oil and inflammation first, because scar work goes better on calm skin.
  • Fade the marks
    Target post-acne redness and pigment once breakouts slow down.
  • Rebuild texture
    Scar-focused sessions, spaced to let the skin remodel between visits.

All acne and texture treatments

Focus 02 · Medical weight loss

Weight loss led by an obesity specialist, with your skin in mind

Weight management is where Dr. Park's career began. Before founding Melting, he directed the 365mc Sinchon obesity center and worked at the bariatric and metabolic surgery center of Cheil General Hospital. He is a certified obesity specialist of the Korean Society for the Study of Obesity, lectures regularly to other doctors on GLP-1 medicines such as Wegovy and Mounjaro, and in 2026 co-wrote a book on why some people gain weight even when they eat little.

That background matters, because losing weight well is not only about the number on the scale. When weight comes off quickly, the face can look hollow or tired and the skin can loosen, something often called “diet face”. At Melting, the body and the face are planned together from the start.

What the Melting Diet Program includes

  • Medical assessment & GLP-1 options
    Prescription medicines such as semaglutide are considered only after a medical evaluation. They are not right for everyone, and side effects like nausea are discussed openly.
  • MelFat injection
    Dr. Park's steroid-free, patent-pending recipe for stubborn pockets of fat on the chin, arms, abdomen, flanks, thighs and calves.
  • Body InMode & Body ONDA
    Energy-based contouring for localized fat, cellulite and loose skin on the body.
  • Melting diet IV drip
    An IV program used alongside the plan, with realistic expectations about what drips can and can't do.

Timing matters: why some areas change first

Fat does not leave every part of the body at the same speed. Areas such as the side cheeks and chest often change early, while the double chin, upper arms and thighs tend to hold on until later. Dr. Park tracks those changes and separates sagging, which usually calls for lifting, from hollowing, which usually calls for skin boosters or volume, so each is treated at the right moment.

  • Before you start
    Check skin quality and facial volume so there is a baseline.
  • Early weight loss
    Support the skin with boosters as the face starts to change.
  • Mid-journey
    Target stored fat with MelFat and body devices.
  • After the goal
    Lift and refine what's left for a balanced face and body line.

Focus 03 · Non-surgical lifting

Lifting that starts with your face, not the machine

Most people shopping for lifting start with a device name. Dr. Park starts with your face. Before any lifting treatment he examines it by hand: where the retaining ligaments are loosening, where fat is sitting, how thick and elastic the skin is. The same device can be exactly right for one face and a poor choice for another, so the plan comes before the machine.

As a key doctor for ONDA lifting, he also works area by area, choosing a different handpiece, depth or mode for the jawline, the mid-cheek, a double chin or the neck, rather than running one setting over the whole face.

The lifting devices we use

  • ONDA lifting
    Microwave energy with 3mm and 7mm handpieces for skin tightening and fat under the jawline. About 20 minutes.
  • InMode (Mini FX + Forma)
    Radiofrequency that reduces small fat pockets and tightens the skin, often for the lower face.
  • Ultherapy Prime
    Focused ultrasound with real-time imaging to reach the deeper SMAS layer.
  • Shurink Universe
    HIFU with dot and line modes and multiple cartridges for detailed lifting.
  • Sunny lifting
    Radiofrequency with two handpieces, chosen for comfort and a quick return to your day.
  • Lapera Pro
    Shockwave energy for jawline definition, pores and lymphatic circulation.
  • Thread lifting
    Dissolvable threads for the jawline and mid-face when energy devices alone aren't enough.

Who non-surgical lifting suits

Energy-based lifting works well for early to moderate sagging, a softening jawline, heaviness under the chin and skin that has lost some firmness. It builds gradually as collagen remodels. If your laxity is more advanced, Dr. Park will tell you honestly that surgery may give you the result you want, rather than selling sessions that can't.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I treat acne and acne scars at the same time?

Usually the active acne is calmed first, because scar treatments work better and heal more predictably on settled skin. Some patients overlap the two stages; Dr. Park will explain the order that suits your skin.

Do you prescribe Wegovy or other GLP-1 medicines?

GLP-1 medicines are prescription drugs and are only considered after a medical evaluation of your health, history and goals. They are not suitable for everyone. If they are appropriate, Dr. Park explains the expected effects and possible side effects before anything is started.

Will losing weight make my face look older?

Faster weight loss can reduce facial volume and loosen the skin. Planning ahead helps: skin boosters, lifting and volume treatments can be timed to the stage of your weight loss so the face stays balanced.

Which lifting treatment is best for me?

There is no single answer. The right device depends on where you are sagging, how much fat is present and your skin thickness. Dr. Park examines your face in person and recommends a device, depth and number of sessions for your case, or tells you if non-surgical lifting isn't the right option.

Is there downtime?

It varies. Many lifting and booster treatments allow you to return to your day with mild redness, while CO2 resurfacing and fat-dissolving injections can involve several days of redness, swelling or bruising. Ask about downtime before booking, especially if you are travelling.

Can I book in English?

Yes, you can message the clinic in English on WhatsApp, KakaoTalk, LINE or WeChat. Tell us your language needs and we will be clear about the support available on your visit date.
