4.1 Enacell Center: Stem Cell Complex Therapy

'Enacell' is the brand name for the stem cell complex treatment protocol independently developed by DOD Dermatology Clinic. It aims to create synergy by combining energy-based lifting equipment with biological agents (stem cells, exosomes, etc.).

• Enacell P (Peripheral Blood): Utilizes hematopoietic stem cells and endothelial progenitor cells extracted from peripheral blood. Focuses on blood vessel regeneration and improvement of the skin environment.
• Enacell A (Adipose Tissue): Utilizes adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. It can be performed simultaneously with liposuction and expects volume increase and strong tissue regeneration effects.
• Enacell NK (Natural Killer Cell): Utilizes NK cells, which are immune cells, to promote immunity enhancement and anti-aging effects. Administered in the form of intravenous injection, and precision checkups including immune function tests and tumor marker tests precede the procedure.
• Procedure Mechanism: If lifting lasers (Ulthera, Thermage, etc.) are physical stimuli inducing collagen production through thermal stimulation, Enacell acts as a biological booster that increases tissue recovery speed and suppresses inflammation through stem cell growth factors (EGF, FGF, etc.) to reduce downtime (recovery period).

4.2 Hipcultra: Body Volume & Elasticity

'Hipcultra' is a portmanteau of Hip and Sculptra, and is DOD Dermatology Clinic's signature body procedure.

• Concept: It is a procedure that injects Sculptra containing PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid), which promotes autologous collagen production, into sunken areas (especially Hip-dips) or sagging areas of the buttocks.
• Differentiation: Unlike simple hyaluronic acid fillers that only fill immediate volume, Hipcultra induces collagen production in the body, showing natural volume and elasticity improvement effects over time. Improvement in stretch marks and pigmentation can also be expected.
• Target: Applied to cases of hip-dips not resolved by exercise, sagging buttocks after childbirth, and reduced elasticity after rapid weight loss.

4.3 On-Demand Lifting & Booster

This is a customized program that precisely analyzes the patient's skin condition, face shape, and degree of aging (using Mark-Vu, Morpheus 3D, etc.) to combine optimal equipment and drugs.

• Equipment: Possesses numerous latest high-end lifting devices such as Ulthera (Ultrasound), Thermage FLX (Radiofrequency), Titanium Lifting, Tuneface, Density, All-Tight (Microwave), etc.
• Complex Procedure: Instead of using a single device, they operate protocols that maximize effects by performing stem cell therapy after device procedures, such as 'Ulthera + Enacell' or 'Thermage + Enacell'.

4.4 Special Clinics

• Keloid Clinic: Introduced 'Sensus', a superficial X-ray therapy device, for the treatment of keloids, which are intractable scars. It provides professional treatment to lower recurrence rates by combining radiation therapy after surgical removal, or using cryotherapy and injection therapy in combination.
• Functional Medicine Clinic: Introduced hyperbaric oxygen therapy devices, etc., to help recovery after surgery/procedures and perform systemic anti-aging management.

5.1 Patient Reviews & Ratings

Comprehensively looking at data from major cosmetic medical platforms (Gangnam Unni, Yeoshin Ticket, Modoodoc, etc.), DOD Dermatology Clinic records high satisfaction overall.

• Ratings: It maintains a high rating of around 4.9 (out of 5) on Gangnam Unni, with hundreds of reviews.
• Positive Factors:
  • Private Facilities: The separation of waiting rooms and treatment rooms, and the focus on single rooms so that there is little chance of encountering other patients, receive good reviews.
  • Expertise: Many evaluate that the medical staff, including Representative Director Lee Jun, proceed meticulously from counseling to procedure, and that personalized designs are applied unlike factory-type dermatology clinics.
  • Kindness: Satisfaction with the staff's attitude and additional services such as valet service is high.
