Introduction
────────────────────────────────────
Seoul's Hongdae is convenient for using the Airport Railroad and subway, and with a concentration of shopping, lodging, and tourism facilities, it is an area that many international travelers visit. It is also one of the accessible areas for international patients planning skin care or non-surgical aesthetic procedures during a trip to Korea.
Project U Clinic, located near Hongik University Station, is a medical institution that treats the nose line and facial volume, non-surgical lifting, skin boosters, skin laser, and body management. On the official website, it introduces a direction that avoids uniform procedures and analyzes skin thickness and facial structure to establish individualized procedure plans.
In this guide, we organize Project U Clinic's medical staff and care direction, key procedures, and points that international patients should check before visiting.

What kind of place is Project U Clinic?
────────────────────────────────────
The "U" in Project U Clinic is introduced as meaning an individual project for one patient. Rather than applying the same procedure and dosage to every patient, it aims for 1:1 care that considers facial bone structure, skin thickness, fat amount, skin condition, and the desired image.
Main operational directions introduced on the official website
- 1:1 consultation and care with the medical staff
- Procedure plans considering skin condition and thickness
- Analysis utilizing 3D skin precision equipment and ultrasound
- Week-by-week skin analysis and continuous management
- A care system operated by appointment
- Aftercare for some filler · nose-shaping · thread-lifting patients

Even for the same concern, which method—filler, thread lifting, laser, or injection procedure—is suitable may differ. Rather than deciding on a specific procedure name first, it is important to explain the desired change and the result you want to avoid to the medical staff.

────────────────────────────────────
Project U Clinic's main signature care
────────────────────────────────────
[1. Signature Nose Shaping]
Nose shaping is introduced as a program that combines filler, threads, or other injection procedures to non-surgically adjust the shape and proportions of the nose. It can be consulted when the nose bridge looks low, when you want to adjust the direction or height of the nose tip, when you want a nose line that harmonizes with the whole face, when you want limited change without surgery, or when you want to check the shape of previous nose filler.
The nose is an area with a complex vascular structure. After a filler procedure, rarely, vascular occlusion, skin damage, or vision-related emergency complications can occur, so before the procedure you must confirm the product and injection amount, the procedure method, and the emergency-response system. When using threads in the nose, you must also be explained the possibility of infection, asymmetry, thread exposure, and skin irregularities.
Since "nose shaping" may be used as a clinic-specific program name rather than a standardized single procedure name, you must confirm exactly what product and method are included during the consultation stage.
[2. Signature Full-Face Filler]
Full-face filler is a method that, rather than greatly changing only one area, examines the sunkenness and proportions of the whole face and adjusts the volume of necessary areas. Areas that can be consulted are the forehead, temples, front and side cheeks, under-eyes, nasolabial area, lips, chin tip, and nose.
Full-face filler does not mean a lot of dosage must be used on the entire face. You should determine the necessary area and dosage by considering the face's bone structure, existing volume, and expression changes.
Points to confirm during filler consultation
- Product name and manufacturer
- Planned dosage to use
- Injection plan by area
- Expected duration
- Swelling and bruising after the procedure
- Whether removal or correction is possible
- How to respond if side effects occur
[3. Signature V-Lifting]
V-Lifting can be understood as a combined program that examines together the sagging, fat, skin elasticity, and jawline of the lower face. Depending on the patient's condition, some of energy-based lifting, thread lifting, jaw Botox, contour injections, double-chin management, chin-tip filler, and skin elasticity management may be reviewed.
Patients with developed jaw muscles, those with a lot of fat, and those with sagging skin have suitable procedures that differ even with the same V-line concern. You must not decide on fat-dissolving injections or jaw Botox just because the face looks big.
────────────────────────────────────
Main lifting procedures
────────────────────────────────────
[Shurink]
Shurink is a non-surgical lifting device that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to deliver thermal energy to a target depth beneath the skin. It can be consulted when the jawline looks blurry, when cheek or lower-face elasticity is a concern, when you want to manage the facial line without surgery, or when you want a relatively short procedure time. Patients with little facial fat or cheek hollowing must carefully decide the treatment scope and number of shots. Many shots do not always mean a better result.
[Meeglow and other energy lifting]
Project U Clinic guides various procedures such as Meeglow as lifting-laser programs. Depending on the type and output of energy and the treatment depth, the way skin elasticity, facial line, and skin tone are managed may differ. Rather than comparing only device names, it is best to confirm the type of energy used, the treatment area, the recommended energy and number of shots, expected pain and anesthesia method, recovery period, aftercare, and the interval from previous filler and thread lifting.
[Thread lifting]
Thread lifting is a procedure that inserts medical threads beneath the skin to support sagging tissue or adjust the facial line. Project U Clinic introduces thread lifting as a main care area along with nose shaping and V-line management.
Points to confirm during consultation
- The product and ingredients of the threads used
- The number of threads and insertion location
- The direction of pull
- The anesthesia method
- The expected period of swelling and bruising
- The possibility of skin irregularities and asymmetry
- How to respond in case of infection or thread exposure
- Aftercare method after returning home
After the procedure, you may be advised to avoid facial massage, sauna, alcohol, vigorous exercise, and opening the mouth wide for a certain period.
Project U Clinic introduces on its official website an aftercare program for a certain period for some thread-lifting patients. The actual applicable conditions and scope must be confirmed before the procedure, and "AS (aftercare)" should not be interpreted as guaranteeing procedure results or providing all additional treatment for free.
────────────────────────────────────
Filler and collagen-stimulating procedures
────────────────────────────────────
[Hyaluronic acid filler]
Project U Clinic guides facial volume and contour procedures using various hyaluronic acid filler products. Products differ in elasticity, viscosity, movement within tissue, and application area. Rather than comparing only price, you must confirm whether it is a product suitable for the treatment area.
Information to prepare if you have existing filler
- Procedure date
- Procedure area
- Product name
- Amount used
- Experience of dissolving filler
- Experience of side effects after the procedure
[Ellansé]
Ellansé is an injectable product used for the purpose of inducing collagen change in tissue along with immediate volume supplementation. Since its ingredients and correction method differ from general hyaluronic acid filler, before the procedure you must be sufficiently explained the product's characteristics, expected duration, and how to handle side effects.
[Radiesse]
Radiesse is an injectable product based on calcium hydroxylapatite, which can be used for the purpose of improving facial contour, volume, and skin tissue. Since it may be difficult to remove immediately with a general filler dissolving agent like hyaluronic acid filler, you must carefully determine the treatment area and dosage.
[Juvelook Volume · Ultracol, etc.]
Juvelook Volume and Ultracol are injection procedures that can be used for the purpose of inducing collagen production in skin tissue. The change process may differ from filler that creates large volume immediately, and there are also differences in particles, injection depth, and procedure interval by product. You must undergo the procedure after confirming possible side effects such as nodules or inflammation and the care method after returning home.
────────────────────────────────────
Skin boosters
────────────────────────────────────
[Rejuran and Rejuran HB]
The Rejuran line can be consulted for the purpose of managing skin texture, dryness, fine lines, and overall skin condition depending on skin condition. After injection, embossing, redness, swelling, bruising, and injection-site pain may temporarily appear. Rejuran HB may differ from regular Rejuran in product composition and pain experience. Which product is more suitable should be decided depending on the skin condition and treatment area.
[Juvelook Skin]
Juvelook Skin can be consulted for concerns such as pores, skin texture, elasticity, and acne scars. The procedure method and recovery process may differ depending on whether the product is injected by hand or a device is used.
[Other skin boosters]
Project U Clinic discloses various skin booster programs such as Collaum and Filorga. Even if product names are similar, the main ingredients, approval scope, and procedure method may differ, so you must confirm the official product name, main ingredients, dosage used, injection depth and method, domestic approval status, expected side effects, and recommended procedure interval.
────────────────────────────────────
Botox and facial contour management
────────────────────────────────────
[Botox]
Botox is an injection procedure used to adjust the movement of expression muscles or muscle size. Representative consultation areas are the forehead, glabella, eye area, nose bridge, jaw muscles, around the corners of the mouth, neck, and body areas such as the trapezius and calves. The change and duration may differ depending on the product, dosage, and injection location. To maintain a natural expression, the procedure should be done after confirming the movement of the facial muscles.
[Contour injections and sculpting injections]
Contour injections or sculpting injections are program names used for the purpose of managing fat, edema, and contour of specific facial or body areas. Since the ingredients and formulations used may differ by clinic, you must confirm the exact ingredients, whether steroids are included, the recommended dosage and number of sessions, swelling and bruising, the possibility of systemic side effects such as menstrual-cycle changes, and the difference from other fat-dissolving procedures.
"Contour injection" is not a standardized single drug name, so confirming the ingredients before the procedure is especially important.
────────────────────────────────────
Skin laser care
────────────────────────────────────
Project U Clinic guides melasma and blemishes, hyperpigmentation, redness, acne, acne scars, pores and skin texture, tattoo, hair removal, and stretch marks as care areas.
Melasma, freckles, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation differ in treatment method even if they look similar on the surface. The risk of post-laser hyperpigmentation may also vary depending on skin color and the degree of UV exposure.
Information international patients should inform the medical staff
- Whether the skin tans easily usually
- Experience of post-laser hyperpigmentation
- Whether recently exposed to strong sunlight
- Acne treatment medication being taken
- History of dermatitis or keloid
- Plans for swimming or outdoor activity during the trip

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
────────────────────────────────────
Q1. Where is Project U Clinic?
A. It is near Exit 8 of Hongik University Station in Seoul. The exact building, floor, and route can be guided through Prettykeep after your booking is confirmed.
Q2. Can foreigners also receive care?
A. International patients can also confirm booking availability. Please convey your nationality, preferred language, and duration of stay in Korea to Prettykeep.
Q3. Is English, Chinese, or Japanese consultation available?
A. Whether foreign-language service is available may vary by staff on duty and booking date. You must state the needed language when requesting a booking.
Q4. Can I visit without a booking?
A. The official website guides appointment-based operation. Prior booking is recommended to reduce same-day waiting or the situation of being unable to receive care.
Q5. Is nose shaping the same procedure as nose filler?
A. Nose shaping may be used as a clinic-specific program combining nose filler with threads or other procedures, rather than a general name of a single procedure. The actual composition must be confirmed during consultation.
Q6. Can I have nose filler or nose shaping even after nose surgery?
A. It depends on the surgery method and implant, the timing of surgery, and the current tissue condition. You should prepare surgical records and past photos and receive an examination by the medical staff.
Q7. How many cc are needed for full-face filler?
A. The necessary dosage differs depending on facial bone structure, the degree of sunkenness, and the existing filler condition. Rather than finalizing the dosage online, it is safer to decide after an in-person consultation.
Q8. Can I receive filler and thread lifting on the same day?
A. It may be possible depending on the condition, but it is not necessary for every patient. The medical staff should decide considering the procedure order and area and the possibility of infection and swelling.
Q9. Can I receive consultation and procedure on the same day?
A. It may be possible depending on the care schedule and procedure type. If you wish for a same-day procedure, please let us know in advance at the Prettykeep booking-request stage.
Q10. Can I designate a specific director?
A. A designation request is possible, but it may not be finalized depending on the staff schedule. It is best to send 2–3 possible visit dates.
Q11. Can I receive only a skin diagnosis?
A. Whether only consultation or skin analysis is possible depends on that day's booking policy. Please write in your booking request that you want to receive a consultation first without deciding on a procedure right away.
Q12. How do I check procedure prices?
A. The price varies depending on the product and dosage, the type and number of threads, the laser energy, and the procedure scope. The final amount may be finalized after the medical staff's consultation.
Q13. Can I put on makeup right after a procedure?
A. Lasers can sometimes allow makeup relatively quickly, but filler, skin boosters, or thread lifting may require not stimulating the injection area for a certain time. You must follow the individual guidance.
Q14. Can I fly after a procedure?
A. It may be possible depending on the procedure type, but time may be needed to observe swelling, bruising, pain, or unexpected reactions. Please inform of a long-distance flight and departure date during consultation.
Q15. Is it okay to receive a procedure on the last day of travel?
A. Even for a simple procedure, it is better to secure post-observation time. For procedures with the possibility of emergency complications or swelling, such as filler and thread lifting, it is safer to avoid right before departure.
Q16. Can I have a procedure even if I have filler from another clinic?
A. It may be possible, but the existing product, location, dosage, and procedure date must be confirmed. If you do not know the product, please prepare records or photos from the previous clinic.
Q17. Can I have a procedure while pregnant or breastfeeding?
A. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, the use of some lasers, injections, anesthetics, and prescription drugs may be restricted. You must inform when booking.
Q18. What should I do if a problem occurs after a procedure?
A. If you have severe pain, rapidly increasing swelling, skin-color changes, difficulty breathing, or vision abnormalities, do not wait for Prettykeep's reply—immediately visit a nearby emergency medical institution. General aftercare inquiries can be conveyed through Prettykeep.
