Know what Korean doctors would recommend — before booking a clinic.
“Sometimes the solution is not adding more volume, but resetting what’s already there.”
“Based on your current skin condition, improving the underlying skin barrier and pigmentation concerns may be more important than adding more treatments right away.”
About Vela
Built with direct insight from Korean medical professionals
Vela was created with direct involvement from a Korean dermatologist who recognized how difficult it can be for international patients to navigate aesthetic decisions remotely.
Many people struggle with conflicting recommendations, unclear pricing, and limited access to direct medical perspectives before making decisions.
Vela was designed to make that process more transparent, structured, and thoughtful.

What You’ll Receive
What is Vela?
- Vela is a personalized facial analysis service designed in Seoul. We combine computational facial mapping with the manual review of a board-certified Korean dermatologist to deliver a 28-page editorial report on your facial structure, skin condition, and recommended care.
Who is this for?
- Vela is built for clients who want a clear, honest, and conservative reading of their face — typically people considering or curious about cosmetic procedures, skincare regimens, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of their features. We are particularly suited to clients in China, Japan, and across Asia who value the Korean dermatology standard.
What do I receive?
- A 28-page PDF report covering your facial structure, feature-by-feature breakdown, skin analysis, and personalized treatment recommendations — reviewed and signed by a Korean dermatologist or Korean plastic surgeon.
What's included in the analysis?
- Each report includes: (1) facial proportions across 42 measured points; (2) symmetry analysis comparing left and right structural relationships; (3) feature-by-feature breakdown for eyes, nose, lips, chin, and forehead; (5) personalized expert recommendations from a Korean dermatologist or Korean plastic surgeon, prioritized from least to most invasive.

Is Vela only for women?
- No. Vela is designed for anyone interested in aesthetic analysis and skin insight.
How accurate are photo-based analyses?
- Photo-based analysis is highly reliable for structural and proportional data. Skin condition is assessed with strong directional accuracy but cannot replace an in-person dermal scan. Our recommendations are always conservative and presented as a starting point for further consultation if needed.
How is my data protected?
- All photos and personal information are encrypted in transit and at rest. Access is restricted to the dermatologist assigned to your report and a small operations team bound by confidentiality agreements.
Where is my data stored?
- Data is stored on secure servers in Seoul, South Korea, under strict compliance with Korean Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) standards.
Do you share data with third parties?
- Never. We do not sell, share, or use your data for any purpose other than producing your report.
