Why does this page exist?

Re:berry Hongdae publishes information to help people understand skin concerns and treatment options before they visit. Clear, honest information supports better decisions. At the same time, a website cannot examine your skin or know your medical history. This page explains how to read what we publish and the principles behind it.

Is the information on this site medical advice?

No. Everything on this website is general information for education. It does not create a doctor-patient relationship and is not a diagnosis or a recommendation for any specific person. Aesthetic treatments, including lasers, injections, threads, energy-based devices and IV drips, are medical procedures. Whether any treatment is right for you can only be decided after an in-person consultation with a doctor. See How Consultation Works at Re:berry Hongdae.

Why do results vary by individual?

Two people can have the same treatment with the same settings and see different results. Common reasons include:

Biology: Age, genetics, skin type, collagen response and healing speed differ.
Starting point: The severity and cause of a concern affect how much can change.
Health factors: Hormones, medications, smoking, sleep and conditions such as diabetes influence results.
Lifestyle and aftercare: Sun exposure, skincare and following instructions all matter.
Plan and timing: The number of sessions, spacing and combinations affect outcomes.

This is why we write "results vary by individual" throughout the site. It is not a formality; it reflects how aesthetic medicine works.

How should I read numbers on this site?

When we say a treatment "typically" lasts a certain number of months, needs a certain number of sessions, or has a certain amount of downtime, we are describing general ranges commonly cited in dermatology and by device or product makers. They are not promises. Your doctor may recommend a different plan, and your own results may fall outside these ranges.

How do we describe risks and side effects?

Every medical treatment has possible side effects. We aim to mention common, temporary effects such as redness, swelling and bruising, and important rarer risks such as infection, pigment changes, burns or vascular complications from filler. Our pages do not list every possible complication. Your doctor will discuss risks relevant to you before treatment, and you are encouraged to ask questions. Our page on Choosing a Safe Clinic in Korea covers wider safety considerations.

What we do not publish

In line with Korea's Medical Service Act and good practice, Re:berry Hongdae does not:

Guarantee results or use claims such as "permanent" or "painless"
Publish before-and-after photos as promises of outcome
Publish patient testimonials as evidence of effectiveness
Make comparative superlative claims about our doctors or clinic
Publish prices on informational pages, because pricing depends on area, shot count and plan

About devices and products

Where we mention regulatory status, such as the FDA clearance of Ultherapy, Thermage and Sofwave, we refer to widely documented information. Clearance is specific to indications and does not mean every use is approved or that results are guaranteed. Device and product availability can change. Read Do Korean clinics use genuine products? for how to verify authenticity.

Branch information and accuracy

Re:berry Hongdae is a new branch. Address, opening hours and contact details are published on the Location & Hours page and booking channels on the Booking page. Other pages refer to those pages rather than repeating details, so that information stays consistent. We review content periodically, but medical knowledge and regulations change; if something seems out of date, please ask at consultation.

Special situations

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking isotretinoin or blood thinners, have an autoimmune condition, a history of keloids or cold sores, or any implanted medical device, tell the doctor before any treatment. Some treatments may need to be postponed or adapted. See Can I get treatments while pregnant?

Your role in safe treatment

Patients play an important part in good outcomes. Share accurate health information, follow preparation and aftercare instructions, attend follow-ups and report anything unexpected early. If you change your mind about a treatment or feel rushed, you are entitled to stop and ask for more time. Informed consent means understanding the benefits, risks, alternatives and costs before you agree, and you can withdraw consent before treatment begins.

In an emergency

If you experience severe pain, rapidly spreading color change, difficulty breathing, vision changes or signs of a serious allergic reaction after any treatment, seek urgent medical care immediately. In South Korea, the emergency number is 119. Then contact the clinic that treated you.

Links to other sites

Some pages may refer to device makers, public health bodies or regulators. We do not control external content, and linking does not mean endorsement of every statement on another site.

Questions about this policy

If you have questions about how we present information, ask during your consultation or contact us through the Booking page. You can also read more about our approach on the About page.

Why doesn't Re:berry Hongdae show before-and-after photos?

Korean medical advertising rules restrict how clinical results can be presented, and individual photos can create unrealistic expectations because results vary by person. We focus on explaining how treatments work, typical ranges and risks, and your doctor can discuss expected outcomes for you at consultation.

Why aren't prices listed on treatment pages?

Pricing depends on the area treated, shot count or product amount, and the overall plan, which can only be set after a consultation. To avoid misleading figures, the clinic confirms pricing in writing at consultation before any treatment begins. You can ask what is included, such as numbing or follow-up visits, before agreeing.

Can I rely on this website instead of seeing a doctor?

No. The website offers general education to help you prepare questions and understand options. Only a doctor who examines you and reviews your medical history can recommend whether a treatment is suitable, safe and likely to help in your case.
