Hello, this is Dr. Cho Young-min.

Already, half of February has passed.

I hope you're keeping your New Year's resolutions going strong~?

We were thankfully busy through the end of last year, and we're even busier at the start of this new year :)

We are always grateful to everyone who has come to see us, and we will repay that with an even better version of ourselves.

On February 1, 2024, we held the Ulthera Expert User Seminar at Andaz Gangnam.

Dermatology specialists from across Seoul who truly know how to perform Ulthera well gathered and held an in-depth discussion.

Personally, when using the 4.5TD, I have seen many patients for whom the ultrasound energy did not reach the SMAS (fascia). To improve results for these patients, I asked whether a transducer capable of delivering ultrasound energy somewhat deeper could be developed.. ^^;

The Merz development team seemed rather reluctant to say much about it.

Beyond that, there were many opinions about improving pores and fine lines with the 1.5TD. We also compared the Ulthera deep see monitor with actual diagnostic ultrasound, which gave us a valuable chance to once again commit to memory the positions of internal structures according to anatomical location.

I truly think being a doctor means studying for a lifetime.

When we agonize over problems and work hard to find answers, we can feel ourselves moving forward one step at a time, and the fruits of that growth are truly sweet :)

Also, sharing opinions with other dermatologists on issues that can't be solved by our own thinking alone, and working through them together, is another great joy.

Looking at what I've written, I thought I disliked studying, but it seems I actually enjoy it more than I realized...

Thank you, fellow clinic directors.

I hope we can help one another and grow together.
