I'm a Seoul local who books your clinic appointments for you. You tell me your travel dates and what you want for your skin. I match you to a vetted clinic, confirm the real price in writing, and put the whole thing in your calendar in English.

Why this exists
Not because clinics don't want foreign patients — because almost nothing about the process was built for someone who doesn't read Korean.
Problem 01
Every clinic does it differently — Naver reservations, KakaoTalk channel, a phone call, a Korean-only web form. Some don't confirm until you call.
Problem 02
Most clinics don't post complete pricing online, and the number you're quoted by email can change after the doctor sees your skin. Tourist-facing quotes are often the highest ones.
Problem 03
Some clinics have a full coordinator. Some have one nurse who studied abroad and isn't in on Tuesdays. You find out which on the day of your appointment.
Problem 04
Rejuran, Shurink, LDM, Potenza, pico toning — all marketed at you at once. Nobody tells you which ones actually work for your concern, or which have downtime that will ruin your trip photos.
Problem 05
Some treatments need spacing between sessions. Some leave you red for 48 hours. Sequencing them badly wastes the one window you have.
Problem 06
You leave with a bag of creams, a sheet of instructions you can't read, and no one to ask when your skin does something unexpected on day three.
What's included
One person, on the ground in Seoul, responsible for your whole visit.
You tell me your concern — texture, acne scars, dullness, laxity, redness. I tell you which treatments actually address it, which are hype for your case, and what to skip.
I only work with clinics I've been to or vetted directly: board-certified dermatologists, transparent pricing, and staff who are genuinely comfortable with foreign patients.
I get the quote in Korean, in writing, before you commit — including what's extra (numbing cream, aftercare, follow-up) so the final bill isn't a surprise.
Sequenced around your itinerary and your downtime tolerance. Redness-heavy treatments go before your rest day, not before your Gyeongbokgung photos.
On request, I'm there — in person or on the phone — so the doctor's consultation is a real conversation, not a nodding exercise.
Your instructions translated, your product list explained, and me reachable on KakaoTalk or WhatsApp for the rest of your trip if anything looks off.
The menu, explained
Plain-English breakdown, with indicative price ranges so you can budget before you land.
Micro-injections that improve skin quality from the inside — texture, fine lines, resilience. The treatment most people fly here for.
Best for: dull, thin, or crepey skin · Downtime: 1–3 days of small bumps
Gentle pigment work for melasma, sun spots and post-acne marks. Low drama, cumulative results — good even on a short trip.
Best for: pigmentation, uneven tone · Downtime: minimal
Radiofrequency plus needles: the workhorse for enlarged pores, acne scarring and stubborn texture. The one that actually remodels skin.
Best for: pores, scarring, texture · Downtime: 2–4 days red
Ultrasound tightening along the jawline and lower face. Popular because Korean pricing is a fraction of what the same devices cost elsewhere.
Best for: mild laxity, jawline definition · Downtime: none to minimal
The deeper, stronger lifting tier. Fewer sessions, more discomfort, longer-lasting. Worth it if lifting is your main goal, not your side goal.
Best for: moderate laxity · Downtime: none, but tender
Per-area pricing that genuinely surprises people. Skin botox — micro-dosed across the face — softens pores and oil without freezing expression.
Best for: lines, oil, jaw slimming · Downtime: none
Hyaluronic acid for volume and contour. This is the one I'm most conservative about recommending on a first visit — small, reversible, or not at all.
Best for: volume loss, contour · Downtime: 1–5 days swelling
Resurfacing for real scarring and deep texture. Effective and aggressive — I'll usually talk you out of this one if you're flying home in 48 hours.
Best for: acne scars, deep texture · Downtime: 5–7 days
Extraction, hydration and calming — the "glass skin" appointment. The best-value add-on the day before an event, and safe for every skin type.
Best for: congestion, instant glow · Downtime: none

Who you're working with
I've lived in Seoul for 10 years and I've spent an unreasonable amount of my own money figuring out which clinics are worth it and which ones are selling packages.
Friends visiting from abroad kept asking me the same three questions — where should I go, what should I get, and am I being overcharged? After the tenth time, I started doing it properly. I'm not affiliated with any clinic and I don't take referral fees, which means the only thing I'm optimizing for is you leaving Korea happy with your skin and unbothered by your bill.
I work with a small number of travelers at a time so that every booking gets real attention. If I don't think a treatment is right for you, I'll say so — even when it's the expensive one.

From travelers
Placeholder testimonials — replace with real ones as soon as you have them.
"I'd been trying to book a clinic for three weeks over email and getting nowhere. She had two appointments confirmed in a day, with prices in writing. That alone was worth it."
"She talked me out of the most expensive thing I asked for and explained why. I've never had a beauty service do that. Ended up spending less and my skin looks better."
"Having someone in the room translating the consultation changed everything. I actually understood what the doctor was recommending instead of just saying yes."
Before you ask
Two to three weeks before your trip is ideal — popular clinics and specific doctors book out, especially on Saturdays. That said, I've put together same-week plans before. If you're already in Korea, message me anyway and I'll tell you honestly what's still possible.
Both, separately. You pay my concierge fee to me, and you pay for the treatments directly to the clinic on the day. I take no commission from clinics, which is deliberate — it's the only way my recommendation can be neutral.
Sometimes, and I'll always ask. But my real value isn't a discount — it's making sure you're quoted the standard local price rather than a tourist price, and that you're not paying for sessions you don't need. That usually saves more than a coupon would.
At a reputable clinic with a board-certified dermatologist, yes — Korea has enormous volume and expertise in aesthetic dermatology. The risk isn't the country, it's picking the wrong clinic: unlicensed practitioners, aggressive package upselling, or devices being used by undertrained staff. Vetting for exactly that is the job.
Your passport, at minimum — most clinics ask for photo ID at registration. Bring a list of any medications you take, allergies, and any prior aesthetic treatments including dates. I'll send you a prep checklist once your appointments are confirmed.
Message me. I'll interpret with the clinic, arrange a follow-up visit if you're still in Korea, and help you get in touch after you've flown home. This is the main reason to have a local point of contact rather than booking cold.
Anything with real downtime — fractional laser resurfacing, aggressive RF microneedling, and fillers that swell — is best done with at least a few days of buffer. Cabin pressure and dry air don't help a freshly treated face. I sequence around your flight, not just your calendar.
Yes, and increasingly. Pore and oil treatments, acne scarring, and jawline work are all common requests. The process is identical.
English and Korean, fully fluent in both. That's the entire point.
Free, no obligation
Fill this in and I'll come back within 24 hours with a treatment recommendation, clinic options, and a realistic budget. No payment until you decide to go ahead.
