"After arriving at Incheon Airport in Korea on the same day, I easily made a reservation,
but my flight was delayed, and the time didn't match up.I contacted the clinic,
and they kindly changed my appointment from 3 PM to 5 PM.
After dropping off my luggage at the hotel, I went to the clinic,
had some coffee, and received my treatment in a relaxing atmosphere."
★★★★★ Shiau Ying ｜ 🇺🇳 Other ｜ 2025.03.21
"My friend said that if you travel to Korea, you have to come to this place for treatment,
so they recommended it to me and I decided to try it too.
I can't speak a word of Korean, so I was really worried,
but luckily there was a translator with me.
The thing that bothered me most was my double chin and sagging,
so after the consultation, I decided on the American Ultherapy~
I felt very reassured because they use authentic machines~"
★★★★★ Hsia Liao ｜ 🇹🇼 Taiwan ｜ 2025.03.19
"The hospital environment is very elegant and makes people feel physically and mentally comfortable,

★★★★★ YUANW ｜ 🇭🇰 Hong Kong ｜ 2025.03.03
"First, the manager recommended many things to me and explained a lot,
but there was no pressure to buy anything.
Since it was my first time getting skin care, we didn't know much and were very nervous,
but during the consultation, the manager only recommended the treatments that suited me,
which was really great~The director was also very attentive during the procedure, I was completely satisfied~ "

★★★★★ Vi치젠 ｜ 🇹🇼 Taiwan ｜ 2025.06.07
"The environment is nice and the location is easy to find. The consultant doesn't oversell,
and will confirm the items you want to consult about.
I took the initiative to ask about the differences between the items, and their attitude was friendly and kind.
(Great attitude, but it felt a bit rushed—maybe there were more clients after me?)
The other staff were all very good and friendly,
The anesthesia staff knew I was worried about pain and made sure to numb me thoroughly. I really appreciate it. 🙏🏻
Overall, it was great and eased my nerves about my first Korean medical aesthetics experience.
So far, I've had Ulthera, Secret RF, and Inmode treatments,
There's some local bruising that's healing, but otherwise, daily life is pretty normal,
The process was simple and fast, and the doctor's attitude was very friendly. Highly recommend. 👍🏻
I'll come again if I get the chance."
★★★★★ Naonyourmind ｜ 🇯🇵 Japan ｜ 2025.03.20
