Booking and visiting
What are your opening hours?

Is parking available?
Yes, you can use the building's private car park at the back free of charge.
Can I visit without a booking?
To be seen without waiting, we recommend booking through Naver Booking or by phone.
Do I need to decide the number of treatments in advance?
No. You can decide whether to have treatment, which methods and how many sessions after hearing the explanation of your examination results.
Can I consult in a foreign language?
We accept inquiries in English, Japanese and Chinese. Please choose your preferred reply language in the quick inquiry form. We cannot always respond immediately in these languages at all hours, so a reply may take some time.
How long does the first visit take?
The first visit for facial asymmetry or TMJ is planned at about 60 minutes. For other care, it depends on what is involved, and we will let you know when you book.
Facial Asymmetry
About this careCan Korean medicine treatment change the shape of my bones?
No. Korean medicine care does not change the shape of bone itself. It addresses factors related to muscle and joint function and habits of use. When skeletal differences are large, we also guide you to a consultation with the relevant specialty.
Is a 3D facial scan an X-ray-type test?
No. MODNI's 3D facial record captures the shape of the facial surface; it is not an X-ray or CT scan that images bone. For that reason we do not use this record alone to confirm a skeletal cause, and we interpret it together with the examination.
How long does the first visit take?
The first visit for facial asymmetry, including the 3D facial surface scan, is planned at about 60 minutes. It may vary with your history and the scope of the examination.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the pattern of asymmetry and your goals; our programmes generally range from 3 to 20 sessions. In practice, 10 to 15 sessions is the most common choice, and a reassessment that includes a 3D scan is carried out about every five sessions to guide the next steps. A set number of sessions does not guarantee a result.
I am currently having orthodontic treatment. Can I still receive care?
Yes, care is possible, but if you are in orthodontic treatment it is a good idea to share your treatment plan with your dentist. Please tell us about your current orthodontic status at the examination.
Is Chuna therapy painful?
While joints and muscles are being adjusted you may feel pressure or temporary stiffness. If you feel uncomfortable, tell us right away and we will adjust the intensity.
Is it covered by national health insurance?
Whether national health insurance applies may vary with the care you receive. Some items are non-covered (out-of-pocket), and we will explain the specific costs and coverage at your visit.
TMJ (Jaw Joint)
About this careMy jaw clicks but does not hurt. Do I need treatment?
Clicking alone, without pain or difficulty opening, is common, and monitoring is often enough. If the clicking becomes more frequent or pain or catching develops, we recommend an examination.
How long does the first visit take?
It is planned at about 60 minutes. For simple jaw joint pain the 3D facial surface scan can be skipped, so the time may differ.
Are jaw joint problems related to facial asymmetry?
Sometimes they are and sometimes they are not. If both concern you, we check them together in one examination and explain whether they are related.
Do I have to use an oral appliance?
No. An oral appliance is an option we consider together with other care when needed, and it is not a treatment applied to every patient. If you already use an appliance from your dentist, please let us know and we will take it into account in the care plan.
About how many treatments will I have?
It depends on your symptoms and response, so it is not fixed at the start. We check changes through reassessment and decide together.
Posture Care & Chuna Therapy
About this careCan it hurt after treatment?
Some people feel stiffness for a day or two after treatment. If the pain gets worse or numbness develops, please contact us right away.
Will my body shape change right away?
Chuna therapy is a treatment that works on the movement of joints and muscles, and it does not promise a change in body shape. We check progress based on changes in discomfort and movement.
Can I receive it together with facial asymmetry or TMJ care?
Yes. Neck and shoulder tension is also connected with the balance of the jaw and face, so depending on the examination they can be combined.
Neck, Shoulder & Back Pain
About this careHow is this different from physical therapy?
At MODNI, a Korean medicine doctor examines you and then chooses the methods you need from Korean medicine care such as acupuncture and electroacupuncture, cupping, heat therapy, pharmacopuncture and Chuna. If imaging appears necessary, we will tell you that as well.
Should I bring MRI or X-ray results if I have them?
If you have them, they are helpful for your care. Please bring the radiology report or the images.
Traffic Accident Care
About this careCan I receive care here alongside treatment at another hospital?
It is often possible, but it can affect insurance processing and the care plan. Please tell us about any treatment you are currently receiving.
The accident was a long time ago, but it hurts now.
We check when the symptoms appeared and how they have developed, and then explain the direction of care. Whether insurance applies needs to be confirmed with the insurer.
Herbal Medicine for Weight Management
About this careHow many kilograms will I lose in a month?
Weight change differs from person to person, and we do not promise any specific amount of weight loss. We check your progress and make adjustments within a range that does not harm your health.
Can I have a consultation only, without herbal medicine?
Yes. If, after checking your condition, herbal medicine is not really necessary, we will guide you with a focus on lifestyle management.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the composition and duration of the prescription, so we explain it after the examination. Please also see the non-covered fees page.
Skin Care
About this careWhich is better, Volnewmer or Shurink Universe?
Rather than one being better than the other, they work in different ways. After checking your skin thickness and firmness, areas of sagging and when you need to return to daily activities, we advise on the suitable method.
Is one session enough?
It depends on your skin condition and goals. Results and how long they last vary between individuals, and the interval and number of sessions are explained at the consultation.
Can I return to daily life right after treatment?
Most people return to daily activities right away, but there may be temporary redness, swelling or a feeling of tightness. We will explain how to care for your skin on the day.
Will it also improve facial asymmetry?
RF and focused ultrasound procedures act on the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and do not correct asymmetry caused by the shape of bone. If left–right differences in your face concern you, we recommend having them checked first in facial asymmetry care.
Volnewmer
About this careDoes it hurt?
Treatment is performed with cooling, but you may still feel warmth or heat. How strongly you feel it depends on the area and the individual, and we adjust the intensity during treatment.
How many shots will I have?
We do not set fixed shot-count packages in advance. We explain this at the consultation after checking your skin condition and treatment areas.
Can I have it together with Shurink Universe?
Depending on your skin condition, both procedures are sometimes planned together. The order and interval are decided after the consultation.
Shurink Universe
About this careHow many shots will I have?
We do not set fixed shot-count packages in advance. We explain this at the consultation after checking your skin condition, the treatment areas and the depths to be used.
How is it different from Volnewmer?
Volnewmer uses radiofrequency to deliver heat over a relatively broad area, while Shurink Universe concentrates ultrasound at a set depth to create small thermal coagulation points. The suitable method depends on your skin condition, and they are sometimes planned together.
Will I swell after treatment?
There may be temporary swelling or tenderness when pressed. It usually settles within a few days, but please contact us if it lasts longer.
Tinnitus & Hearing
About this careShould I see an ENT specialist first?
If you have not had a hearing test, we recommend having one first. In particular, if your hearing has dropped suddenly, please go to an ENT specialist right away.
