One-minute videos from our head doctor in Myeongdong, each turned into a full guide: the concern, why it happens, and how we handle it at Muse.
Dr. Sarang LimHead Doctor · About Dr. Lim →Fill first, then lift. Dr. Lim explains that in your 30s sagging and hollowing come together, so lifting a hollow face can make it look thinner; filling with a treatment like Sculptra comes first, small steady sessions beat one big one, and the layer below the surface needs care too.
Asian skin reacts to UV differently from Western skin. Dr. Lim explains that with photoageing, Western skin tends to wrinkle and sag first, while Asian skin develops pigment problems more severely, including much worse melasma. Western skin tans evenly and fades back cleanly; Asian skin tends to turn blotchy. So Dr. Lim's advice is to tan with makeup only.
Stop the habits that keep stretching your pores: touching your face, squeezing acne at home, spraying shower water on your face, daily wipe-off toner and frequent nose strips. Dr. Lim's advice is that enlarged pores are hard to shrink, so prevention comes first, and acne should be handled at a clinic, not at home.
Dr. Lim sees three requests most from international patients in Myeongdong: lifting such as XERF or Ulthera, Sculptra for people on short trips, and Potenza or Olidia. The first two fit a trip; Potenza and Olidia need about three sessions 3 to 4 weeks apart, so Dr. Lim recommends them only to people living in Korea.
Running, saunas and cold showers are popular wellness habits, but Dr. Lim says they are not especially good for skin. For skin wellness, the basics are sleep and blood sugar: sleeping well and eating well.
Dr. Lim suggests three treatments for a peanut-shaped face: XERF to tighten the sagging area and tidy the face line, Sculptra to fill hollow areas with collagen, and temple filler to smooth the dip beside the cheekbones. Which ones you need, and in what mix, is decided after an examination.

I had a really nice experience at Muse Clinic! The clinic is spacious, clean, and modern, and there are so many different beauty treatments available. I especially loved how comfortable the whole experience was. The staff explained everything clearly, and having a private room made me feel really relaxed. The process itself was also quick and easier than I expected. I was mainly looking for a little more volume on my upper lip, and I’m really happy with how natural the result looks one week later. I can definitely see the difference while still feeling like myself! Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend Muse Clinic to anyone looking for a comfortable beauty clinic experience in Korea. 💕

I had a really smooth experience at Muse Clinic Myeongdong today. The consultation was clear and the staff were very helpful, especially with the interpretation support. I had Focus Dual HIFU 200 shots + Blur Wrinkle-Relaxing Injections, and the treatment was more comfortable than I expected. The clinic is also incredibly convenient, just a short walk from Myeongdong Station, so I would definitely consider visiting again for another treatment.
