"Conveniently located in Hongdae, the clinic was clean and staff were all friendly. I got the first visit special and additional botox. Easy booking, fast consultation and payment... I would likely come back on my next visit to Korea. They had a plushy in case you need a stress reliever from the needles."

★★★★★ Kourtnie7 ｜ U.S. ｜ 2024.11.04

"Staff was very nice and helpful. They did a skin analysis and recommended an extra procedure that I did not book but did not make me feel pressured to get it done. They did a great job at explaining the side effects and how long everything will take to start to take effect. The lifting treatment for double chin did not hurt was just warm and felt like someone was pinching my cheek. They numbed me for the Rejuran treatment and it was painful but went quick."

★★★★★ Diana L ｜ U.S. ｜ 2025.04.30

" I had a wonderful experience at Project U clinic! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful from the moment I walked in. They made me feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout my visit. One thing I really appreciated was that they spoke English fluently, which made communication so much easier and stress-free. They patiently explained each step of the process and answered all my questions with care. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone—especially international visitors—looking for professional service in a warm, welcoming environment'

★★★★★ Anthea Cheung ｜ Other ｜ 2024.11.21

"It was my first time going to Korea for cosmetic treatments with a friend, and I was a bit worried about ending up at a conveyor-belt style clinic. But I noticed someone with the same name as me recommended this place in a comment, so I decided to give it a try. When I arrived, there was a nice lady named Zina who spoke Chinese and did the consultation. She was very enthusiastic and patiently explained the recommended procedures. In the end, I chose lifting, skincare, and fat reduction treatments. They weren’t too pushy with the sales, and after the consultation, I went to a room to take photos, then went to the makeup removal area to wash my face, and then waited for the procedures. The environment was clean and comfortable—I almost fell asleep during the skincare treatment. For the lifting and fat reduction procedures, the director introduced everything carefully in English and offered emotional support to distract me during the process. Afterward, I asked the director about any precautions I should take. The location is also very convenient, right next to Kakao Friends, so after the treatment I could even shop the Chiikawa x Kakao collection.
Two days after the procedure, I suddenly wanted to try another extra treatment. Another nice lady who could speak Chinese, Xiao Luo, was able to arrange it for me right away that same day. She was very efficient, and the whole process took only about half an hour.
This first experience overall was great, and I’ll consider coming back next time I visit Korea and recommending it to my friends 😂😂"

"I specially flew from Hong Kong to get treatment for acne scars, because there is no Curejet device in Hong Kong. Even if there were, the technology and affordability can’t compare to Korea. After arriving at Incheon, I took the bus to Hongdae and the location was easy to find. Right at the Hongdae exit, you can see a building with a Kakao merchandise store underground. Take the elevator to the clinic, and there are staff members who speak Mandarin, so there’s no need to worry about communication. The staff also carefully listed the prices for each recommended treatment and the total price to pay that day, and even converted it to Hong Kong dollars for my reference. I was a bit surprised that there was absolutely no hard selling or persuasion, so I felt no pressure at all. This time I did Curejet and M8, and the overall price was much better than in Hong Kong. At the end, they even gave me an extra pore-shrinking treatment and a post-procedure repair mask. It was a really great experience, and I’ll definitely come again."

7. Dr. Evers Clinic

Real Reviews

★★★★★ Mei ｜ U.S.｜ 2025.02.02

"The consultant was very nice and friendly. She answered all of my questions and concerns and gave me a lot of reassurance and advice on what I wanted to do (options for Botox on armpits and glabella). There was some wait time, but they had coffee/tea and a large space to chill. The doctor who delivered the Botox was very efficient and there was minimal pain to the areas he applied. It’s been a couple of weeks since then, and the Botox is holding up well!"

★★★★★ Leahkuo24 ｜ U.S. ｜ 2024.07.08

"This was an amazing experience. My face is still tingling from the face contouring! I’ve had Korean facials in the U.S. before but never one that focused so heavily on lifting and contouring. The aesthetician was very skilled and provided an upgraded oxygen mask treatment as well, which was such a treat. I can definitely tell a difference!"

★★★★★ Leahkuo24 ｜ Hong Kong ｜ 2024.07.08

"After the treatment, the marks on my skin faded, and the next day my skin still looked dewy. The high-frequency oxygen infusion worked very well and is worth recommending."
