Has anyone done the skin analysis at Olive Young? I'm planning my trip and need to decide which day, time, or branch to go to. I read that it can get really busy and have long lines, especially the Seongsu branch. Any advice?
Hi all,
I wanted to share two recent experiences but the moment I add the relevant flair the post button greys out. I've contacted the mods and haven't heard back. I have gotten really good information from this sub so wanted to give back to the community. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? I can't even write the word for this question without the post button getting greyed out haha
their patented CAT injections seem to be a innovative solution for fat dissolving injections that dont require as many sessions to be effective. ive seen that a lot of celebrities visit this place, but there are so little foreign reviews? has anyone been there that could give their opinion!
It could be anything—finding stores, too many product choices, language, stock availability, getting recommendations, or something completely different.
Hello, I am a 40 year old female and will be in Seoul for 2 days, mainly going to get an Iron Infusion and looking to get some skin care and color analysis. I am looking for clinics and recommendations for melasma removal as well skin tightening and eyebrow lifting. Tysm
After getting your personal color analysis in Korea...
Did you actually end up buying different makeup or clothes?
Or did you mostly stick with what you already liked?
I'm curious because most reviews stop after the consultation, but I rarely hear what people actually did afterwards.
i am going to korea for two weeks next month with some skin issues while i am there. my main problems are redness and uneven texture that has been bothering me for a while, and i am hoping to get a proper consultation plus some non-invasive treatments.
has anyone been to good dermatology clinics in seoul for similar concerns? what should i look for when choosing a place and how far in advance do you usually need to book? any tips for first-timers would be really helpful.
I'm new to this community.
Lately I've been seeing a lot of videos and posts about traveling to South Korea, especially for skincare, dermatology, and other medical treatments. It made me really curious, so I've started looking into it myself.
There's so much information online that it's honestly a little overwhelming, so I th그ought I'd join this community and learn from people who have actually been there.
If you've traveled to Korea, especially for medical or cosmetic treatments, I'd love to hear about your experience. Was it worth it? Is there anything you wish you had known before your trip?
Looking forward to learning from everyone! XD
It's my first time visiting Korea. Do clinics actually provide in-house translators and English follow-up notes? For anyone who doesn't speak Korean, how did you manage your consultations in Seoul, and what should I realistically expect?
Last week, I had the chance to meet several clients who were visiting Korea from overseas. Watching them enjoy their trip reminded me of a few things I always tell friends whenever they ask me about getting beauty treatments in Korea.
I've been running a microblading studio in Seoul for over 10 years, and during that time I've met people from many different countries. These aren't rules, and they certainly won't guarantee a perfect experience, but I think they're worth keeping in mind.
Whether it's a skin clinic, hair salon, microblading studio, or any other beauty service, I think it's always a good sign when the person doing the consultation is also the one performing the treatment.
If that's not the case, I'd at least ask whether the consultation has been properly shared with the technician beforehand. Knowing that they've already understood your concerns before you even walk in can make a big difference.
Whenever I travel, Google Reviews and Reddit are the first places I check.
Most people read the 5-star reviews first. I actually do the opposite.
No business is perfect, but lower-rated reviews often tell you how a clinic or studio responds when something doesn't go as planned. Sometimes those reviews are even more helpful than dozens of perfect ones.
Some clinics and studios have one person doing consultations while another person performs the actual procedure.
There's nothing necessarily wrong with that, but I think it's worth asking in advance who will actually be working on you.
If there's an option to choose a more experienced technician for an additional fee, I'd personally rather pay a little more for the extra peace of mind.
These are just a few things I'd tell any friend visiting Korea, whether they're planning to get a haircut, visit a skin clinic, or have microblading done.
I hope everyone visiting Korea finds a place they're happy with, enjoys amazing food, and goes home with great memories.
I'm turning 32 soon, haven't done any procedures before and the lines on my nasolabial area are more evident now, its not a lot of sagging more just the fine lines showing in the pic. And also very fine lines under my eye when smiling.
I'm traveling to Korea for one month soon and maybe interested in getting something done over there.
I've been reading and doing my research for a while now but still have no clue. From HA, juvederm, rejuran, juvelook, ellanse and the list continues.
To be honest I'm scared of doing any treatments because of some bad reviews of nodules, migrations, fat loss with the lasers, and combined with so many different things that I'm not sure anymore which one it's a good one. I don't feel like changing my features at all, only want to make this lines smoother.
Considering what might go wrong I think collagen biostimulators are the best option, as I'm open to don't have immediate changes but something that lasts longer, as I'm not really into this world I'm not thinking of doing a lot of follow up sessions in the next years.
Would appreciate your suggestions, experiences and also I'm looking for a reliable clinic to get the procedure done in Seoul, which is another complicated thing.
Help and overstimulated girl here 🙈
I’m curious because I’m planning to get a personal color analysis during my trip to Korea. After you got your results,
I’d love to hear what happened after the analysis, not just the consultation itself.
Thanks!
When I was traveling in Korea in March, I repeatedly smelled a perfume that was light, floral and not too sweet. The scent was lovely and I’d like to purchase some, but anytime I encountered it, there was a large group of people and it wasn’t possible to determine who was wearing it to ask the name of the scent. Any ideas about poplar perfumes in Korea that it could be?
Who has done body tightening treatments such as Tune Body, Onda, and Titanium? Is it worth it? Did you see results right afterward? Is it painful? I’m considering getting it done, just wondering if I’ll see results after 1 session.
I’ve done a lot of research but am still torn between these 3 clinics for my Ultherapy Prime appointment next week. Curious if anyone has any experiences with these 3 that they’d like to share.
Looking for something that isn’t rushed and has an actual doctor analyzing my face. Thanks!
This is hair stylist Kengo Hayashi but I was wondering if anyone knows if there are hair stylists with this type of style in Seoul?
can yall introduce some CERTIFIED dermatologists for curing acne in Seoul thankssss 😭😭😭😭😭
I’m planning a visit to gangnam this July and I really want to get some skin treatments done while I'm there. I’m currently considering ultherapy, but as you all know, there are just way too many places in gangnam and I’m having a hard time choosing one.
I’ll be staying at the ocloud hotel, and I really don’t want to take the subway or travel far just for a ultherapy. Looking at google maps, it seems like there are plenty of places right around my hotel anyway, so I’d prefer to pick a place within walking distance.
I absolutely want to avoid those "factory style" places where a sales consultant does all the talking. I’m looking for where the actual doctor conducts the consultation and performs the procedure themselves. If anyone is familiar with the clinics in this specific area, I would really appreciate your advice!
I visited independently and paid in full.
I'm from Mokpo, a city down in the south of Korea, and I'm currently doing a one-month stay in Seoul.
I have a personal event coming up, so I figured I'd try improving my appearance a bit and decided to get microblading.
To be honest, for most guys there's not much you can do besides your hairstyle and eyebrows anyway.
A friend of mine found this place called MALJANE through Google or Instagram or something, booked it, and I just went along.
I've had my brows done once before, and the biggest thing I noticed this time was how many questions they asked. What hairstyle I usually have, what kind of clothes I wear, what kind of image I like, and a bunch of other random stuff.
Honestly, I thought it was kind of funny at first. Like, why does any of that matter?
Then I started thinking maybe all those things actually affect how your brows should look.
Is that really a thing?
Anyway, I think the result looks pretty good so far, but I'm curious what other people think.
