A PERSONAL APPROACH TO AESTHETIC MEDICINE

Not the popular.
The singular.

We begin by listening to the changes you hope for.
Dr. Choi personally provides your consultation and treatment,
working with you to find the care your face needs.

I listen personally.
I perform your treatment.

Dr. Choi Kyeong Rok · Director, HIN Clinic

What concerns you,
and what would you like to change?
We begin with time to listen and a careful examination.

At HIN, I personally consult, assess, plan, and perform your treatment. What we discuss in your consultation guides the procedure. At your next visit, the same doctor who knows your progress continues your care.

We consider both the changes you need today and your care in the years ahead. Beyond a single procedure, I hope to be a doctor who understands your face over time.

Six commitments that guide our care

THE WAY WE CARE
01
TIME & ATTENTION

No more than 10 patients
per day.

Good treatment calls for skill, care, and attention to detail. We limit treatment appointments to 10 patients a day so that essential checks and delicate adjustments are never rushed. This protects the time each patient needs.

02
MATERIALS

No compromise on the materials we choose.

We take particular care when selecting substances injected into the body, including fillers and skin boosters. Quality and safety come first, followed by suitability for each treatment. Choosing what enters your body is part of a doctor's responsibility.

03
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Clinical questions lead us to research.

Drawing on physics, medicine, and medical science, we study how treatments work and how they can be improved. Dr. Choi holds three patents concerning lifting threads, a precision filler injection device, and a laser handpiece, and continues to study the technologies and techniques used in practice.

04
HONESTY

Trust built through skill and clinical experience.

We do not rely on exaggerated advertising. We explain the changes you may expect, the limits of treatment, and the recovery process. We believe trust in HIN grows through the care patients experience and the recommendations they share.

05
PERSONAL TREATMENT

Not the popular. The singular.

Even procedures with the same name should differ in location, depth, intensity, and recovery care from one person to another. We design your treatment around facial structure, patterns of aging, your goals, and your schedule.

06
FAIR VALUE

Thoughtful care at a reasonable price.

By reducing advertising costs and the expense of running a large practice, we have reduced the burden of treatment prices. We focus on quality materials and sufficient time with each patient, aiming to offer reasonably priced care that can be continued over time.

Start by telling us what is on your mind.

Tell us what concerns you, what you hope to change, and your previous treatment experience.
After examining you personally, we will discuss the treatments you need and their sequence.

Consult Dr. Choi

Look beneath the skin.
Understand the structure.

Facial changes do not occur in just one layer. Skin texture, fat distribution, muscle movement, and skeletal support work together to shape your appearance.

At HIN, treatment begins with understanding where and how change has occurred, before choosing a procedure.

TEXTURE & QUALITY

Skin texture and elasticity

We assess everything from surface tone and texture to dermal elasticity. Even similar concerns about pores or fine lines may call for different treatment depths and intensities, depending on skin thickness and condition.

Today's treatment.
Tomorrow's progress.

From the first assessment to follow-up,
the same doctor follows your care.

01

Diagnose

We listen and examine personally.

We listen to your goals and previous treatment experience, then assess your skin, facial structure, and movement during expression.

02

Design

We plan beyond the next procedure.

We explain the treatment you need now, its sequence, and the recovery schedule. Together, we develop a long-term care plan that considers future changes.

03

Treat

The doctor who plans your care performs it.

I perform your treatment personally, based on the consultation and assessment. We consider both stimulation and recovery, and adjust subsequent care according to your progress.

The right care,
where it is needed.

Treatment begins with the changes you want,
not the name of a device.

01Skin QualityTexture · Pores · ElasticityVirtue RF

Energy depth and intensity, tailored to your skin.

This treatment delivers radiofrequency energy through fine needles. At HIN, settings are selected according to skin thickness, condition, and areas of concern, alongside cooling and post-treatment recovery care.

Redness, swelling, and pinpoint bleeding may occur. Recovery time and results vary from person to person.

Why we choose this technology
02LiftingLaxity · Facial contoursUlthera

We first assess the location of laxity and the thickness of the tissue.

Ulthera uses focused ultrasound. We plan treatment areas and energy delivery according to facial volume, laxity, and tissue depth.

How Ulthera focused ultrasound worksDiagram of ultrasound from different transducers focusing at target depths of 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 mm below the skin surface. Ultrasound imaging is used to locate tissue and select the appropriate depth.1.5 mm3.0 mm4.5 mm
Ultrasound imaging identifies the tissue; energy is focused at the selected depth.

Pain, swelling, bruising, and temporary changes in sensation may occur. Suitability depends on your facial condition.

03PigmentationPigmentation · Skin toneCURAS HYBRID

Pigmentation that looks similar may need different treatment.

Using CURAS HYBRID, we plan laser treatment according to the pattern of pigmentation, including melasma and dark spots, and how the skin responds. We assess pigment type and past treatments, then adjust intensity and intervals to your condition and progress.

Pigmentation may recur, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation may occur. Treatment needs adjustment as your skin responds.

04Facial ContourVolume · Contour · BalanceHA Filler

Placement and balance matter more than volume alone.

We use hyaluronic acid fillers to plan facial support and contour. Bone structure, soft tissue, and facial movement guide the choice of injection sites and products.

Bruising, swelling, asymmetry, and, rarely, serious complications such as vascular occlusion may occur. Careful assessment and meticulous treatment are essential.

05D-ALL Skin BoosterD-ALL skin booster · Planning for skin regeneration and recoveryHIN ORIGINAL
STIMULATION & RECOVERY

The stimulation your skin needs,
with recovery in mind.

D-ALL is HIN's original injectable skin booster program, reflecting Dr. Choi's approach to care. When planning a treatment that stimulates the skin, we also assess the skin's ability to respond and recover. D-ALL begins with bringing the required procedure and recovery care together as one treatment plan.

01 / Ingredients selected with recovery in mind

The main ingredient is PDRN derived from salmon DNA. Centered on injectable PDRN medicines used in wound care, the program combines physician-selected ingredients according to skin condition and treatment goals. The doctor personally decides which materials to use, where to inject, and how to administer them.

02 / Balancing stimulation and recovery

At HIN, recovery is as important as treatment intensity. D-ALL aims to support skin regeneration and recovery and may be used on its own or alongside treatments such as Virtue RF or Ulthera, depending on skin condition. The depth and intensity of stimulation and the recovery plan are tailored to the individual.

03 / Designed for your skin

Skin thickness, dryness, sensitivity, and previous treatments differ even among people receiving the same procedure. After assessing your skin, we choose the ingredients and injection plan, decide whether to combine treatments, and adjust subsequent care according to your progress.
