TREATMENT DETAILS

Detailed Guide by Treatment

01. Facial Asymmetry Correction | Approx. 60 minView Details ▼

Why We Recommend It	Immediate same-day results. With an additional correction device, you can expect longer-lasting effects.
Treatment Details	If habits like chewing on one side, resting your chin on your hand, or your sleeping posture cause only one side of your chewing muscles (masseter, pterygoid) to shorten, that side of the face can be pulled upward, making it look asymmetrical. At Acro Korean Medicine Clinic, the key to facial balance is stretching the shortened muscles right then and there. ① Before/after photos under the same conditions → ② Muscle-relaxation Chuna (masseter, pterygoid, suboccipital muscles + TMJ and cervical spine correction) → ③ Pharmacopuncture and acupuncture → ④ Immediate photo comparison and mirror check together Because this approach is based on muscle relaxation, many people notice changes in left-right balance starting from the first treatment day (results vary by individual). We also help balance not only the TMJ, but also your cervical spine and pelvis. This program is designed to be completed in one visit, and we provide a TMJ correction device (splint) so you can maintain balance on your own even after you return home. The material is the same type used for baby bottles.
How Long It Lasts	Most people feel a change on the same day. However, since long-term habits and muscle memory remain, it may gradually start to return over a few days to a few weeks depending on your habits. Wearing the device while sleeping can help you extend the results yourself. Results vary by individual.
Recommended For	• Those whose face size or jawline looks different left to right in photos • Those with habits like chewing on one side only, teeth grinding, or resting their chin on their hand • Those who hear sounds in the TMJ or feel discomfort when opening their mouth • Short-term visitors and overseas residents who want a one-visit treatment while in Korea ※ Skeletal asymmetry caused by differences in jawbone growth is not included. We will assess this during your exam, explain honestly, and if needed, guide you to the appropriate department.
Important Notes	• If the exam determines the issue is skeletal asymmetry, the procedure may not be performed (you will be informed after assessment). • Please avoid intense exercise, alcohol, and saunas on the day of treatment. • The correction device is intended to be worn during sleep, and the longer you wear it, the better. Biting the device and stretching during the day can also help. • Correcting the habit of chewing on one side only is key to maintaining results. • Pain is typically a refreshing pressure tenderness level. • Results and the number of sessions needed vary by individual.

02. ONDA Face 60kJ | Approx. 60 minView Details ▼

Why We Recommend It	33,000 KRW per 10kJ. Affordable pricing and meticulous treatment. Immediate same-day results. No downtime.
Treatment Details	If asymmetry correction balances the structure (muscles and joints), ONDA refines the facial line (soft tissue). Adding ONDA on top of a balanced face makes left-right symmetry look even clearer. ONDA is an authentic ultra-short-wave (microwave) device made by Italy’s DEKA, and treatment is performed by choosing between two handpieces (3mm and 7mm) depending on the area and your skin and fat condition. Estimated time: around 30 minutes
How Long It Lasts	You may see changes right after ONDA, but fat breakdown and firming typically begin in earnest after 2 to 3 weeks. Since it works by reducing fat cells themselves, results last longer as long as your weight is maintained. Around a few months with 1 session, 1+ year with 3 sessions.
Recommended For	• Those who feel their jawline has become less defined and the lower face looks saggy • Those who want to address both facial fat (double chin, deep cheek fat) and firmness • Travelers who need to continue their same-day schedule with no downtime • Those who hesitated due to concerns about pain or bruising
Important Notes	• Temporary swelling may occur in some cases. • After energy-based treatments such as RF (Thermage, InMode), ultrasound (Ultherapy, Shurink), or laser lifting, we recommend a gap of at least 2 weeks to 1 month. (Skin boosters, Botox, and fillers are fine.) • After Botox, treatment is possible after 2 to 3 days. • Treatment is restricted during pregnancy and breastfeeding. • Minors can receive treatment with guardian consent (verified via recorded phone call). • Please avoid saunas and jjimjilbang for 1 week after treatment. • Required energy and number of sessions vary depending on the area and fat volume, and will be explained during your visit.

03. ONDA Body 120kJ | Approx. 60 minView Details ▼

Why We Recommend It	38,500 KRW per 10kJ. Affordable pricing and meticulous treatment. Immediate same-day results. No downtime.
Treatment Details	A body contouring treatment using authentic ONDA ultra-short waves to break down fat and improve skin firmness in your chosen area, abdomen, arms, thighs, back, underarm/bra fat, or calves. It can also help improve cellulite (clumped subcutaneous fat caused by poor circulation). 120,000J corresponds to one area such as arms or calves, and additional energy may be needed for the abdomen (150,000 to 200,000J) or thighs (200,000 to 300,000J). Treatment time is 20 to 40 minutes, with little pain even without anesthesia, and no bruising.
How Long It Lasts	Most people notice size changes after about 2 to 3 weeks. We recommend 3 sessions at 1-month intervals, and results can last 3+ months after 1 session. Since it reduces fat cells themselves, results last longer when weight is maintained.
Recommended For	• Those who want to reduce size in specific areas such as upper arms, abdomen, or thighs • Those with both cellulite and reduced skin firmness • Those who want a body treatment with no bruising, pain, or downtime • Those who lost weight through dieting but still have stubborn areas
Important Notes	• Required energy varies greatly depending on the area and amount of fat. We will recommend energy levels by area during your visit, and additional payment may be required if more energy is needed. • Treatment is restricted during pregnancy and breastfeeding. • For 1 week after treatment, please avoid saunas, jjimjilbang, and meridian/lymphatic massage on the treated area. • If you have had liposuction, treatment is possible after recovery (usually after 4 to 6 weeks). • If you have underlying conditions or take medications, please note them on the pre-visit questionnaire. • Results vary by individual.

04. Capsule-Form Herbal Diet Medicine (3 Months) | Approx. 60 minView Details ▼

Why We Recommend It	100% herbal medicine. Customized prescription. Capsule form makes it easy to pack in your suitcase.
Treatment Details	A capsule-form herbal diet medicine designed to boost metabolism, increase energy expenditure, and help regulate appetite. You can take it comfortably without worrying about taste or smell. At your first visit, we conduct blood pressure, InBody (body composition), and stress tests, then the doctor personally reviews your previous medication history and weight loss history to create a customized prescription. Because we also work with you on improving diet and lifestyle habits, it is especially helpful for maintaining results after weight loss.
How Long It Lasts	During the intake period, weight loss focuses mainly on body fat, and the more your consultation-based eating habits settle in, the more advantageous it is for maintenance after weight loss. Considering steady weight loss and habit-building, the 3-month program is the most commonly chosen. Results vary by individual.
Recommended For	• Those who find appetite control the hardest • Those who want to start the program with a single visit while traveling in Korea • Those who have dieted repeatedly in the past but struggled to maintain results • Those who need overall body fat reduction rather than a localized procedure
Important Notes	• Depending on underlying conditions or current medications, a prescription may not be possible after the doctor’s evaluation. • If you receive consultation only and do not get a prescription, an exam and test fee of 30,000 KRW applies. (No separate fee when you receive a prescription.) • Since a body composition test is included, please visit without wearing stockings. • Minors require guardian consent via a recorded phone call before consultation. • A separate 4% fee may apply when paying with overseas-issued cards. After returning home, re-prescriptions can be shipped internationally via EMS, but may be restricted depending on each country’s customs regulations, and shipping and duties are the customer’s responsibility. If you experience discomfort such as palpitations or dry mouth while taking it, please adjust the dosage and contact us.

05. Fat-Dissolving Pharmacopuncture 10cc | Approx. 30 minView Details ▼

Why We Recommend It	Meticulous treatment. 100% herbal medicine. No downtime.
Treatment Details	A fat-dissolving pharmacopuncture made from 100% herbal extracts. It does not contain steroids or hyaluronidase. It promotes the secretion of fat-breaking enzymes to reduce fat and decrease size in areas of concern. Because it is not a suction-based procedure, it does not cause side effects such as wrinkles, hollowing, or dents. For the face, 2cc to 4cc is recommended, and for upper arms, about 10cc is recommended. Additional dosage may be needed depending on the area, and we can recommend more after evaluation. It is injected with a fine needle about 4 times per 2cc, and the pain is mild enough that anesthesia is usually not needed (about like a pinch). Treatment takes 5 to 10 minutes, and you can return to daily activities immediately afterward.
How Long It Lasts	Since it works by reducing fat cells themselves, results last longer if your weight is maintained. With a higher dose, you may notice results even after one session, but most people feel the most noticeable difference after about 3 to 4 sessions.
Recommended For	• Those who want to reduce subcutaneous fat in specific areas rather than overall weight loss • Travelers who need to continue their same-day schedule with no downtime • Those who hesitated to get fat-dissolving injections due to concerns about steroid ingredients
Important Notes	• The treated area may feel sore or bruise, but usually not severely. • It is best to split treatment into multiple sessions (1 to 2 times per week, at least 5 sessions recommended), but if repeat visits are difficult, we can guide you with a single high-dose session. • Treatment is restricted during pregnancy and breastfeeding. • Minors can receive treatment with guardian consent (verified via recorded phone call). • Avoid intense exercise and alcohol on the treatment day and the following day, and avoid saunas and jjimjilbang on the day of treatment. • Avoid meridian/lymphatic massage on the treated area for 1 week. • We recommend waiting 1 week after treatment before donating blood. • Please note any underlying conditions, medications, and recent procedures on the pre-visit questionnaire.
