Hey everyone, my sister and I are going to be in busan for a bit and we both want to try getting some skincare treatments done. Neither of us has ever done anything like this before so we're total beginners here.

The idea is to go every 4 days or so and keep it really light, almost like a little spa routine we do together during the trip. Since we'd be going that often I'm guessing we should stick to non invasive stuff, I don't want to overdo it on my skin with something too strong if we're going that frequently.

Would love a clinic rec that's welcoming to foreigners. English speaking staff would be a huge plus since neither of us speaks much Korean. Also, does LDM actually make a difference on its own? I keep seeing it mentioned and I'm curious if just doing that alone would change my skin texture

I've been researching veneers in Seoul for a while now and I feel like I've read every reddit post and blog out there at this point, so let me just share where I'm at.

Minish is obviously the gold standard and everyone talks about them, but their entry level starts at 750k won per tooth, and for 10 teeth you're already at 7.5 million won. That's closing in on $6k USD, which is already more than I wanted to spend even factoring in the savings compared to getting them done at home.

I had a Whatsapp consult with Leblanc and they quoted me 490k won per tooth for no prep veneers. Then during the consult the coordinator mentioned they use the same dental lab as Minish. I didn't really push back on it in the moment but now I'm wondering if that's actually true or if it's just something they say to reassure you. Because if all the clinics are literally using the same lab to make the physical veneers, why is the price gap so large? Is it just the dentist's fee and consultation experience that you're paying for at the pricier places?

I also asked about the one day option and she said it's possible. You go in the morning for the impression and everything, and come back around 5 or 6pm to get them fitted. She said very occasionally you might need to come back one more day if adjustments are needed, but most of the time it's done in two visits the same day.

For anyone who's done veneers at a smaller or less famous clinic vs one of the big names, did you actually feel a difference in the final result? Or did the teeth look and feel basically the same?
