Before a lifting consultation near Kyungpook National University Hospital Station, Jung-gu, Daegu — what to prepare
“Which clinic is good at it?” cannot be answered from public data. What you can decide for yourself is what you bring to a consultation and what you ask, and that preparation changes the plan. Here is what Miso Clinic actually checks at consultation, and questions worth asking at any clinic.
The short answer
Before a lifting consultation, prepare four things. (1) The names and dates of previous lifting, filler and booster treatments, with any shot counts and pain you remember; (2) medicines you take, any metal in the body or implanted electrical device such as a pacemaker, and whether you might be pregnant; (3) the one or two areas that bother you most; (4) your questions — what has and has not been confirmed for this treatment, when the result is judged, whether it can be reversed, and whether a number you were shown is an approval number or an advertising review number. Miso Clinic is at 4F Bombom Building, 125 Dongdeok-ro, Jung-gu, Daegu, at Exit 1 of Kyungpook National University Hospital Station.
Worth bringing with you
| What to prepare | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| Names and dates of devices and products used before | Sets the interval and settings for treatments that work on the same layer |
| Shot counts, amounts and pain you remember | Guides output and the anaesthesia plan |
| Filler history (especially CaHA or PCL, which cannot be dissolved) | Affects where heat is applied and the injection plan |
| Medicines you take (including those affecting blood clotting) | Risk of bruising and bleeding |
| Metal in the body, or implanted electrical devices such as a pacemaker | Checks contraindications for RF devices |
| Pregnancy or breastfeeding, tendency to keloids, autoimmune disease | Can change whether treatment happens at all |
| The one or two areas that bother you most | The starting point for separating causes |
If you have photos of old receipts or treatment information on your phone, you can simply show them. It does not matter if the product names are not exact.
Questions worth asking at consultation
A good consultation answers “how far has this been confirmed” specifically, rather than “it works”. The questions below can be used at any clinic.
- What has this treatment been shown to do in people, and what has not been shown? — whether the answer includes study size and whether there was a control group
- When is the result judged? — for radiofrequency lifting, usually two to three months later
- Can it be reversed if I do not like it? — HA can be; CaHA, PCL and hADM cannot
- Why this number of sessions? — whether the basis is research or custom
- Is there a treatment you would not recommend for me? — whether they can name cases they would advise against
- Is the number shown an approval number or an advertising review number? — the two are separate procedures
Reviews and before-and-after photos are not evidence of effect. Article 56(2) of Korea’s Medical Service Act prohibits advertising through treatment testimonials and comparison with other medical institutions. That is also why this column never calls any clinic “the best at it”.
How a consultation at Miso Clinic goes
- 1ListeningWe first hear which area bothers you most and your history of previous treatment.
- 2Separating causesWe look sitting and lying down, with the lighting from different directions, to weigh sagging, skin thickness and volume loss.
- 3Checking contraindicationsWe check medicines, metal or electrical devices, pregnancy and skin condition.
- 4Options and limitsWe explain which treatment to consider first and why, what has and has not been confirmed, and when the result is judged. If nothing fits, we tell you it is better not to have treatment.
- 5DecisionYou are welcome to have a consultation only and go home. We do not recommend a bundle of sessions from the start.

Lifting consultations in Daegu: frequently asked questions
Can I just have a consultation?
Yes. When we separate the causes at consultation, lifting sometimes turns out not to come first, and then we recommend another treatment or tell you it is better not to have treatment.
What if I cannot remember the name of a treatment I had before?
The date, area, how painful it was, or a photo of the receipt or information sheet all help. Whether you have had filler is especially important, so tell us as much as you remember.
Are there cases where radiofrequency lifting should not be done?
If you have a metal implant or an implanted electrical device such as a pacemaker in the treatment area, are pregnant, or have an infection or active inflammation in the treatment area, you must tell us before treatment; we then do not treat or change the plan.
