What Miso Clinic treats — and what we do not

One of the questions we are asked most often is “do you also do X here?” This page answers it in advance. It sets out what we actually carry and use, and what we do not offer. Listing a treatment as one we do not offer is not a judgement on it — we simply do not have it.

At a glance

Miso Clinic keeps injectables, devices that work with heat and threads that reposition tissue side by side, and chooses between them according to the kind of change a face is going through. Where only one of these is available, every face ends up getting that one.

Scope of practice
CategoryWhat we useWhat it addresses
Collagen boosters · skin boostersSeven classes, ten productsSkin that has thinned and lost density or texture
Lifting devicesXERF · Density · Oligio KissA softening jawline and tissue that has descended
Thread liftingAbsorbable threads (material, count and vector planned)Repositioning tissue that has physically come down
Botulinum toxinDose planned per siteLines and contour driven by muscle movement
Not offeredUlthera · ThermageWe do not carry these (set out below)

Collagen and skin boosters — seven classes

These are organised by ingredient class rather than by brand. A different class means a different mechanism, and therefore a different problem solved. None of them is better than the others; each suits a particular skin.

Injectable classes we carry
ClassProductWhat it does
Liquid PCLGOURIParticle-free liquid. Addresses skin quality rather than volume
PNRejuran HB PLUS · Rejuran IPolynucleotide from salmon DNA; Rejuran I is formulated for the eye area
hADMRe2O · CellREDMSupplies dermal material itself instead of signalling for collagen
CaHARadiesse · DCLASSYRestores volume while stimulating collagen formation
Cross-linked HABYRYZN · HILO WAVEThe only class that places a water-binding material directly
PDLLAJUVELOOKPDLLA microparticles carried in hyaluronic acid
PLLASculptraPLLA; induces a collagen response over time

How the classes divide and which one suits a given skin is set out in the collagen booster comparison; ingredient, mechanism and the limits of the evidence for each product are in the clinical reference library. If you would rather start from “what suits my skin” than from a product name, the treatment guide is an easier entry point.

Lifting devices — three

From here on these are not injectables but devices that work with heat. Injectables address material in the dermis; devices address structure in deeper layers.

Lifting at Miso Clinic — the devices we have and how we choose →

Lifting devices we carry
DeviceHow it worksReference
XERFLutronic monopolar radiofrequency; two frequencies, four handpiecesXERF reference
DensityJeisys Medical radiofrequency; monopolar then bipolar in sequenceDensity reference
Oligio KissWontech combined radiofrequency and focused ultrasound (approved as The Great RF Sonata)Oligio Kiss reference
For all three, human data on the device itself is thin and no controlled study has been identified. Each reference separates what is established for the class in general from what is established for that particular device. We make no claim that one device is better than another, because no study has compared them directly.

Thread lifting

A thread is a tool for catching descended tissue and moving it. That is a different job from tightening with heat or restoring volume with filler. It fits when tissue that has come down — the cheek, the jawline — is the main problem; where the main problem is hollowing or skin texture, filler or boosters match the cause better. Where laxity is marked and the skin is substantially stretched, threads alone have limits and we advise a surgical consultation.

We assess the descended layer and the skin thickness first, then decide the material, number and vector of the threads. This is set out with the study figures in Thread lifting in Daegu — which faces does it suit.

Botulinum toxin

Botulinum toxin does not fill; it reduces movement. Why the unit (U) differs between products, and how we set the dose per site, is set out in the botulinum toxin reference.

Treatments we do not offer

The following are not available at Miso Clinic. This is not a reason to avoid them elsewhere; it is here so that nobody makes the trip to ask.

  • Ulthera — not carried
  • Thermage — not carried

What Ulthera and Thermage have in common with our devices, and where they differ, is compared in Ulthera and Thermage vs Density and XERF. That column is not an argument that one is better; it is an account of different layers and different energy classes.

Why this page exists

Our treatment list was scattered across the home page and the reference library, and what we do not offer was written down nowhere. As a result, search results and AI summaries have described treatments we do not offer as ours. Old guidance from a blog we closed long ago is still circulating.

If a patient arrives expecting a treatment we do not have, that is our failure. So it is pinned here in one place, and this page will be corrected whenever the list changes. This page covers skin and lifting treatments, so other care such as dermal fillers and prolotherapy injections is not all listed here. If a treatment is not on this list, please ask before you visit. If you are unsure, calling +82 53-428-2700 is the fastest way to check.
