Before lifting or regeneration treatments at a dermatology clinic, a diagnostic step that measures your skin condition in numbers is the starting point of treatment planning. Repic Clinic in Gangnam runs two diagnostic devices, Meta View and Mark-Vu, as a required step before treatment. The two devices measure different things, and only when their data are combined can the doctor design the treatment location and energy intensity for each patient.
STEP 1 — Measuring Skin Thickness, Pigmentation and Hydration with Meta View
Meta View is a 3D facial analysis and diagnostic system that quantifies the skin surface and the condition of each layer. The measured items are skin tone, pore condition, pigment distribution, epidermal and dermal thickness, and moisture level. This data is used as a basis for adjusting the energy intensity of treatment.
For example, applying the same energy to an area where the dermis is thin can place more strain on the skin. By checking Meta View values, such differences can be identified beforehand, and treatment intensity can be set differently from zone to zone. It is also used to accumulate and compare data from before and after treatment.
STEP 2 — Measuring Sagging Position and Facial Asymmetry with Mark-Vu
Mark-Vu is a deep skin analysis device with a different measurement purpose from Meta View. It measures facial asymmetry, sagging lines and volume distribution in numbers and uses them to plan treatment locations. The main measurements are not skin thickness but the position of sagging and left-right balance.
Even for the same lifting procedure, the area where sagging is concentrated differs from patient to patient. When the sagging lines are checked with Mark-Vu, treatment points can be distributed to match those locations. This data is the key basis for the planning method that Repic Clinic in Gangnam calls the "Design Series."
STEP 3 — Combining Both Sets of Diagnostic Data to Plan Treatment
Once Meta View and Mark-Vu diagnostics are complete, the doctor reviews both results together and plans the treatment approach directly. Three items are decided based on the diagnostic results.
- Whether a treatment is suitable — It is an operating principle not to recommend treatments that the diagnosis shows are not needed.
- Treatment location and energy intensity — Even for the same procedure (for example, ultrasound lifting or radiofrequency), the application site and energy level differ according to each patient's measurements.
- Recommended number of sessions and treatment combinations — When multiple procedures such as stem cell treatment, Rejuran Healer and Body InMode are being considered, the diagnostic data also serves as the basis for combining them.
This is why a design tailored to each person's skin condition is recommended, rather than applying a uniform protocol without diagnostic data.
STEP 4 — Treatments Linked to the Diagnostic Results
The following are representative treatments planned after Meta View and Mark-Vu diagnostics at Repic Clinic in Gangnam. Because each treatment differs in application area and purpose, it is prescribed alone or in combination depending on the diagnostic results.
| Treatment | Main purpose | Pricing |
|---|---|---|
| Stem cell treatment | Skin regeneration and anti-aging | Provided at consultation |
| Rejuran Healer | Skin regeneration; improving elasticity, fine lines and hydration | Provided at consultation |
| Body InMode | Fat breakdown and tightening of the abdomen, thighs and upper arms | Provided at consultation |
| Design Tone-Up | Improving pigmentation, redness and uneven skin tone | Estimate given after diagnosis and consultation |
Please confirm exact costs after a consultation.
Following this order gives you the flow: check skin thickness with Meta View (STEP 1), measure sagging position with Mark-Vu (STEP 2), combine both sets of data to plan treatment (STEP 3), and receive a treatment linked to the diagnostic results (STEP 4). This process is the actual structure of the diagnosis-based treatment planning that Repic Clinic in Gangnam calls the "Design Series."
