Real prices. Honest reviews. Before you book in Gangnam, Seoul.
How do I tell if a clinic review is from a promoter?
Some Instagram accounts post very similar 'my honest experience' reviews for the same clinic. What red flags do you look for?
Pico laser for pigmentation at a Sinsa clinic — 3 sessions
Consultation was in English via a staff translator. Doctor spent about 5 minutes with me, the rest was with a coordinator. Results after 3 sessions: sun spots noticeably lighter, melasma only slightly better. No pressure to upsell, which I appreciated.
Potenza + Rejuran in the same week — how much downtime before a flight?
I have 6 days in Seoul. Is it reasonable to do Potenza on day 1 and Rejuran on day 3, then fly home on day 6? Anyone who has done this — how red/bumpy were you?
Ultherapy vs Thermage for a first lifting treatment in Seoul?
I'm in my late 30s with mild jowls. Clinics keep suggesting both. Which did you choose for your first time, and how many shots/lines were you quoted?
Recovery-friendly things to do in Gangnam (no sun, no sweating)
Between treatments I mostly stayed indoors: COEX Starfield Library, cafés in Sinsa, and an evening walk along the Han River after sunset. I skipped the jjimjilbang until the clinic said it was OK.
Rejuran Healer quotes from 5 Gangnam clinics (foreigner prices)
I messaged five clinics on WhatsApp/Kakao asking for a full-face Rejuran Healer quote as a foreigner. Range was roughly ₩250,000–₩450,000 per session. Two clinics included numbing cream, one charged extra. One clinic quoted a higher price in English than on their Korean price page. Tip: always ask whether VAT and numbing are included.
