VOS Skin MBTI — a dermatologist's skin type analysis before any treatment
VOS Skin MBTI is a skin-type diagnosis designed by board-certified dermatologists that reads how your skin tends to behave, not only what type it is today. It is the first step of every VOS consultation: you complete the questionnaire on the same day as the 3D Meta-view and 3D skin analysis, then go through the results with Dr. Hongseok Kim. The outcome is a personalized treatment plan.

Overview
Skin type can be measured, but skin tendencies have to be interpreted — that is the idea behind VOS Skin MBTI, a diagnostic method designed by board-certified dermatologists. Before any treatment at VOS, your skin's traits are read at a glance so the plan matches the skin, not a template.
Combined with VOS's 3D Meta-view and 3D skin analysis, it is why two people with the 'same' concern leave with different plans. Take it as the first step of your consultation, before choosing among the VOS Signature treatments.
For example, dry skin that has lost elasticity may lead to a hyaluronic acid biostimulator such as hilo wave, while another skin type with the same complaint may be steered elsewhere. If an earlier juvelook skin booster left a lump, bring it up at the same consultation.

About Dr. Hongseok Kim
Dr. Kim performs your VOS Skin MBTI himself — from the first skin analysis to the follow-up check.
Dr. Kim focuses on aesthetic dermatology — skin regeneration, facial contour and healthy aging — and builds each plan from a close look at the individual patient's skin and goals, aiming for natural, refined results.
At VOS the same specialist is responsible for the whole course of care: diagnosis, the procedure itself and follow-up. An accurate reading of skin structure and how it changes is what makes results more complete and keeps the risk of side effects low.
