WhenI DMed Lienjang at @lienjang_english, they had me send a photo of my face and describe my concerns. They then suggested some options and booked me for an in-person consultation and appointment.
Muse Clinic, on the other hand, has a super comprehensive website of the treatments they offer and pricing so you can reference that prior to booking. While it does seem they have the ability to book an appointment online, I just DMed them at @museclinic_gn to make my appointment.
The in-person consultation here was super helpful; I went in having no idea what services I might want and they did a great job of narrowing down the options based on the skin concerns I told them I wanted to address.
While I no longer (for the time being, at least!) get filler, I believe filler costs about US$50 per syringe/ml, and they do have many brands we have in the US like Juvederm and Restalyne. Compare that to US$900/ml I paid a few years ago in Los Angeles and you can quickly see how the savings can help pay for your trip!
You can get a tourist tax refund on your treatments if the price exceeds 30,000 KRW (US$24 at the time of writing) and the clinic you visit participates and offers the right paperwork. The refund for skincare treatments should be around 10%.
The three apps above are the more important ones to download, but to communicate with certain businesses, you may find yourself needing KakaoTalk (similar to iMessage or WhatsApp). While most businesses I interacted with for bookings or reservations were happy to communicate via direct messages on Instagram, there was one that I could only reach via KakaoTalk so downloading this did come in handy.
This trip, we stayed in Gangnam at the newer Andaz Seoul Gangnam indicated by the orange arrow. Gangnam is super posh and often analogized as the Beverly Hills of Korea, but staying in this area required a much greater reliance on our translation apps, we experienced some anti-foreigner sentiments in this area, and we ultimately spent more time in the areas indicated by the orange arrow.
The public transportation system in Seoul is unbelievable and we used the subways and buses a TON as it was often faster to use public transportation versus getting a taxi, so you want to make sure you have a T-Money card to take advantage of the public transportation.
I will be visiting Seoul very soon, and wanted to explore skin treatments. Your post has such wonderful information, I did not miss any of the pictures. Thank you so very much for putting all this great information in one place!
Hwang Jini is a symbol of feminine beauty and power in Korea. A heroine of the Joseon Dynasty, Hwang Jini was beloved throughout Korean history for her superhuman charisma, displayed through her outstanding beauty & wisdom and her extraordinary presence and strength of will.
Despite having been born into a life without much privilege, Hwang Jini successfully shaped her own value and destiny in an oppressive, patriarchic society. She started a career as a kisaeng, a professional performer who worked to entertain kings and men of higher classes, and established her place as the most beautiful and the talented among these escorts serving the aristocracy and royalty.
Take a sip of our Hwang Jini Cocktail at miss KOREA BBQ MEE on the 3rd Floor, and let the hems of her red skirt drape down from the Chandeliers and conquer you. Meet our muse and experience the inspirations and empowerment of the Korean heroine, Hwang Jini.
