AFAS 2026 Korean Academy of Aesthetic Surgery & Medicine Lecture
| ULTRACLEAR 2910nm Laser & the “Skin Treatment with Laser” Session
Dr. Park So Yoon of Cheongdam Eclat de Clinic, attended the 2026 Asia Forum for Aesthetic Surgery & Medicine (AFAS 2026) and the 24th Korean Academy of Aesthetic Surgery & Medicine Annual Congress held at COEX in Seoul on May 24th, 2026.
During this year’s congress, Dr. Park So Yoon served as the chairperson of the “Skin Treatment with Laser” session and also delivered a lecture on the ULTRACLEAR 2910nm fiber laser.
Despite the holiday weekend coinciding with Buddha’s Birthday in Korea, the academic sessions at COEX were filled with physicians and aesthetic medicine professionals eager to continue advancing their clinical knowledge and treatment approaches.
AFAS 2026 – Korean Academy of Aesthetic Surgery & Medicine
The congress was held from May 23rd to May 24th, 2026, at the COEX Conference Center in Seoul.
AFAS is an international academic forum where specialists in aesthetic medicine gather to exchange the latest trends, technologies, and clinical experiences in the field.
This year’s congress featured lectures and discussions on:
- Lifting procedures
- Laser treatments
- Skin boosters
- Scar treatment
- Pigmentation management
- Anti-aging therapies
The event also included active discussions and Q&A sessions among physicians actively practicing in the field.
Chairperson of the “Skin Treatment with Laser” Session
At AFAS 2026, Dr. Park So Yoon chaired the “Skin Treatment with Laser” session.
The session focused on how modern laser treatment has evolved beyond simple resurfacing or pigmentation removal, emphasizing the importance of understanding:
- Skin layer targeting
- Thermal response
- Collagen remodeling
- Recovery dynamics
The discussions highlighted how treatment outcomes can vary significantly depending on skin type, energy settings, treatment depth, and post-procedure recovery protocols.
As session chair, Dr. Park So Yoon organized the clinical significance of each lecture while exchanging practical treatment insights with fellow physicians.
Lecture on the ULTRACLEAR 2910nm Laser
Dr. Park So Yoon’s lecture focused on:
“Resurfacing with ULTRACLEAR 2910nm: An Innovative Approach Using 3D MIRACL Technology.”
ULTRACLEAR is a mid-infrared cold ablative fiber laser utilizing a 2910nm wavelength.
During the lecture, Dr. Park So Yoon emphasized that ULTRACLEAR should not be viewed simply as a superficial resurfacing laser, but rather as a versatile treatment platform capable of targeting multiple skin depths through different treatment modes, including:
- Clear
- Clear+
- Ultra
- UltraClear
- Laser-Coring
These modes allow treatments to be customized from superficial epidermal resurfacing to deeper dermal remodeling depending on the patient’s condition and treatment goals.
Key Highlights of the ULTRACLEAR Lecture
1. The Meaning of Cold Ablation
Traditional ablative lasers can provide strong clinical results but are often associated with concerns such as:
- Pain
- Downtime
- Thermal injury
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
The ULTRACLEAR 2910nm fiber laser utilizes a wavelength near the water absorption peak, allowing for precise tissue ablation while minimizing surrounding thermal damage.
Rather than aggressively removing tissue, the device is designed to target only the necessary depth with greater precision and control.
2. Differences Between Clear Mode and Ultra Mode
Different ULTRACLEAR modes target different treatment depths and skin concerns.
Clear Mode
Designed for superficial skin concerns including:
- Skin tone
- Texture refinement
- Radiance
- Mild pigmentation
- Fine irregularities
Ultra Mode
Focused on deeper dermal remodeling and collagen stimulation for concerns such as:
- Acne scars
- Deep wrinkles
- Texture loss
- Structural collagen regeneration
UltraClear Mode
Combines superficial resurfacing and deeper dermal remodeling within a single treatment approach.
3. Laser-Coring for Deep Wrinkles & Acne Scars
One of the major topics covered during the lecture was Laser-Coring technology.
Deep wrinkles and acne scars often require more than surface-level resurfacing. Structural components such as:
- Scar base architecture
- Collagen arrangement
- Fibrotic tethering beneath the skin
must also be addressed.
ULTRACLEAR Laser-Coring creates microchannels within the skin to stimulate collagen remodeling and tissue reorganization during healing.
Dr. Park So Yoon described this approach as:
“A laser treatment designed not merely to remove skin, but to reconstruct and redesign skin structure.”
Sharing Clinical Experience with ULTRACLEAR in Korea
Since introducing ULTRACLEAR in Korea, Dr. Park So Yoon has continued participating in academic activities related to the device through multiple conferences and medical societies.
As clinical experience accumulated, ULTRACLEAR became recognized not simply as another fractional laser, but as a highly customizable 2910nm fiber laser platform capable of addressing different skin layers and treatment objectives.
Particular emphasis was placed on the importance of carefully optimizing treatment parameters for Asian skin types by considering:
- Pigmentation tendency
- Redness sensitivity
- Recovery time
- Previous treatment history
- Individual skin characteristics
Visiting the ULTRACLEAR Booth
Following the lecture, Dr. Park So Yoon also visited the ULTRACLEAR exhibition booth, where many physicians expressed strong interest in the technology and discussed:
- Clinical treatment experiences
- Considerations for Asian skin
- Treatment customization
- Mode selection strategies
The congress also provided an opportunity to explore newly introduced technologies such as Renuvion and discuss the evolving direction of energy-based aesthetic treatments.
Cheongwoo Medical Booth & ELYSIS SENSE
During the congress, Dr. Park So Yoon also visited the booth of Cheongwoo Medical, a company with which she collaborates through advisory and educational activities.
One of the company’s representative devices, ELYSIS SENSE, is an RF microneedling system also utilized at Cheongdam Eclat Clinic.
While ULTRACLEAR focuses on laser-based resurfacing and regeneration using a 2910nm wavelength, ELYSIS SENSE approaches concerns such as:
- Pores
- Scars
- Elasticity
- Skin texture
through radiofrequency energy.
Both technologies share a common philosophy of promoting dermal regeneration and structural remodeling rather than focusing solely on superficial treatment.
Learn More About ULTRACLEAR Through Video
ULTRACLEAR technology can sometimes feel technically complex when explained only through text.
Concepts such as:
- 2910nm wavelength
- Cold ablation
- Clear Mode
- Ultra Mode
- Laser-Coring
can be understood more easily through video explanations.

Reflections from AFAS 2026
AFAS 2026 served as another meaningful academic experience for Dr. Park So Yoon and the team at Cheongdam Eclat de Clinic.
The congress reflected the continued evolution of aesthetic medicine and the growing importance of understanding not only new technologies, but also:
- Tissue response
- Clinical evidence
- Safety considerations
- Real-world treatment experience
At Cheongdam Eclat de Clinic, treatments utilizing ULTRACLEAR, ELYSIS SENSE, and other energy-based devices continue to be approached not as temporary trends, but as carefully designed regenerative treatments based on structural skin understanding and personalized patient care.
