A note on titles, because it matters to international patients: Dr. Park is a family medicine physician, not a dermatologist. His board certification is in family medicine, and his additional certifications and society roles are in obesity medicine, geriatrics and IV nutrition therapy. At Seongsu Melting Clinic he focuses on aesthetic lifting, skin regeneration, body contouring and weight-related changes in the face and body.

Career

April 2024 to present Founder and Medical Director, Seongsu Melting Clinic, Seoul

Much of that path runs through obesity and metabolic care, including time leading a bariatric and metabolic surgery center at a general hospital.

Book

In 2026 Dr. Park co-authored Doctor, I barely eat but I still gain weight with Dr. Yoon Su-jeong (Dream Dream, 236 pages). The book is written for general readers and reflects a theme he returns to often in the clinic: weight is rarely just about willpower, and the body deserves a medical explanation before it gets a judgment.

Clinical approach

Face structure before device

Before choosing any lifting device, Dr. Park palpates the face, feeling for the retaining ligaments and the fat compartments, to understand why a particular area looks heavy or loose. Only then does he decide between tools such as ONDA, InMode, Sunny lifting, Shurink Universe, Lapera Pro or Ultherapy Prime, and at what depth. Handpieces are matched to the area, for example ONDA's 3mm and 7mm handpieces, or separate InMode handpieces for face and body.

Sagging and hollowing are different problems

After weight loss, including weight loss with GLP-1 medications, he looks at sagging and hollowing separately. Loose tissue may call for lifting, while lost volume may call for a booster or volume treatment. Treating one as the other is a common reason people feel disappointed with results.

MelFat, from his own chin

Dr. Park tried double-chin injections on himself. That experience led him to build the clinic's steroid-free MelFat injection recipe, which is patent pending.

Genuine products, exact dose

The clinic uses genuine products at the exact dose stated for your treatment, and plans are customized rather than packaged. He explains what he is about to do before treatment starts and talks patients through it while he works.

Research connected to practice

His conference work, papers and society roles are not separate from clinic life. The questions he studies, such as obesity medications, IV nutrition and regeneration injectables, are the same ones patients bring into the consultation room in Seongsu.
