In October 2026, Dr. Jiyoun Kang, Representative Director of Lalian Cheongdam Clinic in Cheongdam, Gangnam District, Seoul, South Korea, delivered three academic lectures to fellow physicians. Each lecture shared a treatment principle she uses with her own patients, from microwave contouring to skin quality and tissue recovery. Here is what she presented, and how those principles shape care at the clinic.
Quick Answer: Dr. Jiyoun Kang delivered three academic lectures in October 2026: on how 2.45 GHz microwave energy remodels fat and skin, on improving skin quality by combining broadband light with a Dual-HA collagen booster, and on focused shock wave for tissue regeneration around procedures. She personally performs every consultation and procedure at Lalian.
The Three Lectures at a Glance
Dr. Kang’s three lectures each focused on one question physicians face in aesthetic practice.
Lecture | Topic | Key message |
Beyond Contouring: The Tissue Remodeling Science of Microwave Energy | 2.45 GHz microwave | Fat and skin laxity can be treated together, but only after deciding whether the concern is fat or sagging |
Multimodal Skin Quality Optimization with Broadband Light and Dual-HA Collagen Booster | Skin quality | Tone, glow, hydration, texture and elasticity need different treatments working together |
Tissue Regeneration and Peri-procedural Care – Focused Shock Wave in Aesthetic Medicine | Focused shock wave | A non-thermal approach may help prepare and restore tissue around heat-based procedures |
Lecture 1: Beyond Contouring: The Tissue Remodeling Science of Microwave Energy
In the first lecture, Dr. Kang explained how 2.45 GHz microwave energy heats the deeper dermis and fat layer from within, while contact cooling reduces the heat load on the skin surface. Over the following weeks, the body clears damaged fat cells and builds new collagen, so fat reduction and firmness tend to appear together.
Key points:
Fat and skin laxity can be addressed in the same session, without injections or anesthesia
Changes build gradually over one to three months, and results vary by individual
Before treatment, Dr. Kang asks whether the heaviness comes from fat or sagging, whether there is enough fat to reduce, and what change the patient expects
Lecture 2: Multimodal Skin Quality Optimization with Broadband Light and Dual-HA Collagen Booster
In the second lecture, Dr. Kang argued that good skin is not one thing. Pigment and redness sit in different parts of the skin than dryness and loss of elasticity, so she presented a same-day approach that pairs BBL HERO broadband light with a Dual-HA collagen booster (HILO WAVE).
Key points:
Light improves what the eye sees first; the injectable improves the quality of the skin underneath
Energy-based treatment comes first and the injectable second
A pilot study on broadband light and the gene expression of aged skin found that 1,293 of 2,265 age-associated genes shifted toward a younger pattern after treatment. Research suggests broadband light may influence the biology of photoaged skin

Lecture 3: Tissue Regeneration and Peri-procedural Care – Focused Shock Wave in Aesthetic Medicine
In the third lecture, Dr. Kang presented focused shock wave as a non-thermal approach, not another lifting device. Instead of heat, it delivers very short pressure pulses that send biological signals to the skin and surrounding tissue.
Key points:
It differs from heat-based lifting such as HIFU and RF, which work through thermal remodeling
It may help prepare firm tissue before lifting and support recovery afterward
An animal study on shock wave in facial skin found more collagen and microvessels after one session; benefits after aesthetic procedures in people still need more study
How These Principles Shape Care at Lalian
The lectures reflect how treatments are chosen at Lalian Cheongdam Clinic. Three principles run through all of them.
Diagnosis before device → Dr. Kang first decides whether a concern comes from fat, sagging, pigment, dryness or tissue firmness
Different layers, different tools → Treatments are combined by which layer each one reaches, not by adding more procedures
Honest about evidence → Research is explained as research, and results are never promised
These principles apply to treatments on Lalian’s menu today, including 2.45 GHz microwave contouring and BBL HERO for skin tone and pigmentation. Under Lalian’s 1:1 Single Responsibility System, the physician who teaches them personally manages every consultation and procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What did Dr. Jiyoun Kang lecture about in October 2026?
She delivered three lectures: microwave energy for contouring and tightening, skin quality optimization with broadband light and a Dual-HA collagen booster, and focused shock wave for tissue regeneration and care around procedures.
Who were the lectures for?
The lectures were academic presentations for fellow physicians working in aesthetic medicine.
Can I receive the treatments discussed in the lectures at Lalian?
BBL HERO and 2.45 GHz microwave contouring are on Lalian’s treatment menu. For other approaches discussed in the lectures, Dr. Kang will explain at your consultation what is suitable for your skin.
