Grays News

Grays Dermatology has introduced Velluti (Belluti Eye) as a new option for under-eye anti-aging.

Velluti uses a 1064nm Q-Switched Nd laser and a Diamond Particle Acoustic Patch to generate LISW (Laser-Induced Shockwave).

Rather than relying mainly on heat energy like conventional radiofrequency or ultrasound lifting, it is distinctive in that it induces remodeling of the under-eye tissue through mechanical stimulation using photoacoustic pressure waves.

A recently published early clinical case report has also described the possibility of improvement in under-eye protrusion and in the contour at the boundary between the under-eye area and the cheek.

However, Grays Dermatology does not regard Velluti as a treatment to be applied in the same way to every under-eye concern.

This is because a prominent-looking under-eye area can result from several factors acting together — not only protruding fat but also reduced skin elasticity, changes in tissue position, and muscle and bone structure.

It is therefore important to first diagnose which changes are most pronounced in your under-eye area right now, and then choose the appropriate method from among various eye-area treatments, including Velluti.

Grays Dermatology places its emphasis not on introducing new devices as such, but on adding new options that can make up for what was lacking in existing treatments.

Velluti is also an under-eye anti-aging treatment chosen on the basis of these standards.

Grays Dermatology will continue to carefully choose the treatment each skin and face needs, so that natural, healthy changes can be maintained for a long time.

Kookje Shinmun (September 14, 2026) reported figures showing that medical spending by foreign tourists visiting Busan grew significantly over the past year, along with views from the field that medical tourism should focus on the quality of care and aftercare rather than on patient numbers.

In the article, Dr. Tae Hoon Kim said that since the clinic registered as a medical institution authorized to attract foreign patients in 2023, the number of foreign patients has grown steadily, with 357 visiting this year (40 of them returning patients), and that many come not only for aesthetic purposes but also for medical treatment.

Seoul Shinmun (August 13, 2026) presented statistics showing that the number of foreign patients visiting Busan, and especially the demand for dermatology care, is growing rapidly, and introduced how Haeundae dermatology clinics are responding. Key points included English and Chinese websites, pre-visit consultation channels such as LINE and Xiaohongshu, and treatment planning tailored to travel itineraries.

Dr. Tae Hoon Kim, medical director (board-certified dermatologist and clinical adjunct professor of dermatology at Dong-A University Hospital), explained that because foreign patients find it hard to visit often, he selects and plans only the treatments that are truly needed within their stay, and also gives guidance on cleansing, basic skin care and lifestyle habits so that they can keep up their care after returning home.

The Korea Daily (August 13, 2026) published an English-language article on the growth of dermatology medical tourism in Busan, led by patients from Taiwan and Japan, and on the multilingual consultation systems of dermatology clinics in Haeundae, together with an interview with Dr. Tae Hoon Kim, medical director.

TTT (Train the Trainer) is a program for medical professionals whose skills are at a level where they can teach and pass on Thermage FLX to other medical professionals.

Within it, the Master program is a higher level that only a select group can join: practitioners who, among those who have completed the existing training, meet strict standards of clinical experience and proficiency.

Grays Dermatology Clinic is not simply a TTT master with a high volume of Thermage FLX treatments; based on a deep understanding of the principles and design of radiofrequency treatment, we pursue better results by minimizing pain through anesthesia and treatment methods that set us apart even from other masters, and by delivering concentrated energy to the areas each individual needs.

The Medical Newspaper (September 20, 2024) covered the demand for anti-aging treatments including skin boosters, and introduced Grays Dermatology's principle that a board-certified dermatologist diagnoses the skin before prescribing and personally performing skin booster treatments, as well as its approach of planning Ultracol together with lifting treatments such as Ultherapy PRIME, Thermage FLX and Tune Face.

Dr. Tae Hoon Kim, medical director, advised that before deciding on a treatment, patients should take a good look at the differences in each treatment's principles and direction of improvement, and choose after consulting a board-certified dermatologist.
