AUVEL Clinic Journal
Is the Equipment Genuine?
How do I know the equipment and products used on me in Korea are genuine?
You check it by name. AUVEL Clinic publishes eighteen treatment devices and seven injectable options by name rather than by category, and states three principles for every patient: genuine products, proper dosage and fair price. A named device can be confirmed and asked about; a page that says premium technology cannot.
| Treatment devices | 18, published by name |
|---|---|
| Injectable options | 7, published by name |
| Stated principles | Genuine products · proper dosage · fair price |
| Applies to | Korean and international patients alike |
| Who selects | A board-certified dermatologist, after diagnosis |
| Where to check | The equipment page, before you fly |
| Registration | Registered under Korea's Medical Service Act for foreign patients |
The check is the name
There is no test a patient can run in a treatment room, and no photograph that settles it. What you can do is compare what a clinic said in public with what it says to you in person, which means the answer depends entirely on whether it said anything specific in the first place.
A clinic that publishes Ultherapy Prime, Thermage, Xerf, Onda, Titanium, Hollywood Spectra, PicoPlus, Clarity II, Potenza, AGNES and the rest by name has committed to something that can be repeated back to it. A page that says premium imported equipment or the latest laser technology has committed to nothing.
That is the whole mechanism. Not a badge, not a certificate photographed on a wall — just the difference between a name and an adjective.
- Look for device names, not categories
- Look for injectable products named individually
- Ask at the consultation which of them is being proposed for you
What is published here
AUVEL Clinic lists eighteen treatment devices on its equipment page, covering lifting, pigment, acne, scars, pores, hair removal and skin boosters — including Ultherapy Prime, Xerf, Thermage, Onda, Titanium, Hollywood Spectra, PicoPlus, Clarity II, LOTUS3, CureJet, Potenza, AGNES, Dermashine, Mirage 3D, LDM, Aquapeel, a cryotherapy unit and O2 Derm.
Alongside them, seven injectable options are named: Botox, Filler, Rejuran, Collagen Booster, Contour Injection, Thread Lifting and Re2O.
The list is on the site before you have contacted anyone, which is the point. It is meant to be read while you are still deciding, not produced afterwards as reassurance.
Genuine products, proper dosage, fair price
Those three phrases are the clinic's stated principles, and they apply to Korean and international patients alike. They are worth reading as three separate commitments rather than one slogan, because they can each fail independently.
Genuine products is about what is in the syringe or the tip. Proper dosage is about how much of it is used — a genuine product used at a reduced amount is still not the treatment that was described. Fair price is what connects the two to what you paid.
The reason the middle one is stated at all is that it is the one patients cannot see. Asking about it is not an accusation; it is the same category of question as asking what device is being used.
- Genuine products — what is being used
- Proper dosage — how much of it is used
- Fair price — what you are charged for it
What to ask in the room
Ask what is being used on you, by name, and ask it before the treatment rather than after. In a clinic where a dermatologist performs the treatment one-to-one, the person who can answer is already in the room.
For injectables, ask what is being used and how much. For device treatments, ask which device and what it is being used for. Both are ordinary questions and they take a moment to answer.
A clinic organized around genuine products, proper dosage and fair price has already prepared for those questions. One that has not will make that visible in how it answers, which is itself the information you were looking for.

Frequently asked questions
Is the equipment genuine?
AUVEL Clinic publishes eighteen treatment devices and seven injectable options by name, and states three principles for every patient: genuine products, proper dosage and fair price. A named device is something you can ask about and confirm.
How can a patient actually check this?
By name. Compare what the clinic published in advance with what is said to you at the consultation, and ask what is being used on you before the treatment. There is no test you can run in the room.
Why does proper dosage matter separately?
A genuine product used at a reduced amount is still not the treatment that was described. That is why dosage is stated as its own principle rather than folded into the first one.
Which devices does the clinic have?
Eighteen in total, including Ultherapy Prime, Xerf, Thermage, Onda, Titanium, Hollywood Spectra, PicoPlus, Clarity II, LOTUS3, CureJet, Potenza, AGNES, Dermashine, Mirage 3D, LDM, Aquapeel, a cryotherapy unit and O2 Derm.
Which injectables are used?
Seven options are published by name: Botox, Filler, Rejuran, Collagen Booster, Contour Injection, Thread Lifting and Re2O. Which of them applies to you is decided after diagnosis.
Is it rude to ask what is being used on me?
No. It is the same category of question as asking which device is being used, and in a clinic where the dermatologist performs the treatment one-to-one, the person who can answer is already in the room.
