Someone I know has been complaining to me about loose skin lately. When I asked her which clinic she wanted to go to, she said, “There are so many recommendations online that I don’t know which one to trust,” and she kept putting it off. So I offered to help her look into it since I often browse Korean cosmetic clinics’ websites. She agreed.
That’s how I came across this clinic—V&MJ Dermatology. At first, what caught my attention was their “MetaScan AI” technology; it seemed quite different from what I’d seen before. Later, I found out that the chief director is Kim Min-joo, and their clinic is an official MERZ ultrasound device certification center, which made it even more interesting.
When my friend asked me which clinic in Seoul was reliable for skin tightening, I took her to V&MJ and had her undergo a MetaScan AI examination.
To be honest, what attracted me first wasn’t the ultrasound device or the Thermage treatment—it was their MetaScan AI skin analysis system. Nowadays, many clinics talk about the benefits of ultrasound, but have you ever considered whether your skin type is suitable for it? How many sessions are needed? What depth should be used?
V&MJ’s MetaScan AI is designed to answer these questions precisely. It’s not just a basic skin scanner; it can analyze the condition of your dermis, fat layer, and fascia in detail, generating a comprehensive skin report. The doctor will then develop a treatment plan based on this report, not just based on pre-set packages available online.
My friend realized that the problem with her chin wasn’t excess fat but weakened fascia—a perspective she hadn’t considered before.
Where is V&MJ Dermatology located? Just a 4-minute walk from Apgujeong Roda Station.

III. Korea’s V&MJ Dermatology: MetaScan AI + Customized Ulthera Devices – While others offer standard packages, here you get a personalized plan tailored to your needs.
V&MJ offers a wide range of treatments, which can be categorized into several main areas:
🔺 Ulthera Series: This is V&MJ’s flagship product. They have almost every type of Ulthera device you can think of – AI-powered Ulthera, customized Ulthera, Cover Fit Ulthera, single-point Ulthera, first-time user Ulthera, men’s Ulthera, asymmetrical Ulthera, eye area Ulthera, deep facial tissue Ulthera, neck Ulthera, and body Ulthera. With so many options, the key is to find the right one for you based on the MetaScan AI report.
🔺 Thermage Series: AI Thermage, Heat Up Thermage, combined Ulthera and Thermage treatment, eye area Thermage, neck Thermage, body Thermage, hand Thermage, and men’s Thermage.
🔺 Lift Boosters: Titanium lift, Inmode lift, Oligio lift, Exilis lift, oxygen therapy, Palette thread lifting, and more.
🔺 Skin boosters: customized Hyaluronic Acid treatments, Signature Hyaluronic Acid treatments, Best Hyaluronic Acid treatments, lifting and filling agents, etc.
A friend said after seeing the menu, “Why does it seem like there are so many more options than at other clinics?” That’s exactly the style of V&MJ – they don’t force you to choose a package; instead, you can select the most suitable treatment based on your own test results.
IV. How does Director Kim Min-joo retain local customers? Officially certified Gold Center for Merz Ulthera.
The representative director of V&MJ is Kim Min-joo, who is officially certified as a Gold Center for Merz Ulthera devices. MERZ is the official manufacturer of these ultrasound devices, and being recognized as a Gold Center indicates that their treatment volume and technical expertise are at a high level.
The data they have published:
- Annual treatment volume with Ulthera: an average of 270,000 sessions per month, serving over 700 patients.
- Annual treatment volume with Thermage: an average of 200,000 sessions per month, serving over 300 patients.
- Within one year, they used more than 1,300 genuine Ulthera probes.
What does this number mean? For most clinics, achieving such a treatment volume in just one month is already quite impressive. Moreover, they operate under a “single-director system,” meaning that all treatments are performed personally by Director Kim Min-joo herself, without any interns involved.
In February 2026, the representative of Merz Ulthera in Asia even visited V&MJ in person to witness their technical capabilities. This news caused quite a stir in the industry.
Section 5: What’s the environment like at V&MJ Dermatology? Let’s take a look with pictures and descriptions.
From the first to the fifth floor, V&MJ’s treatment areas are designed in a simple yet upscale style. A friend said, “It’s much brighter than the clinics I’ve been to before; it doesn’t have that gloomy, internet-famous clinic vibe.”
Upon entering, you’ll come to the reception area where the staff are professional and will first verify your appointment information. The waiting areas are well-spaced, so there’s no crowding.
The consultation rooms are separate from the treatment rooms, ensuring good privacy. I noticed that the equipment was neatly arranged and the environment was clean, which is very important to me.
