    I previously received toning and Genesis treatments at the Maypure Sadang branch and had a great experience with the thorough procedures. I visited the TaePyung branch since they were having an event. This time, I went for a first-time experience event for a dewy skin treatment and ended up getting Shurink and forehead Botox as well! Overall, the staff were very kind, and I usually had concerns about sagging skin and forehead wrinkles. The team leader who consulted with me recommended these treatments, and I'm extremely satisfied! They applied the numbing cream meticulously, so it was much less painful than I had feared. The doctor continuously checked in on the pain level and discomfort during the procedure, which made me feel more comfortable. This is a photo taken five days after the treatment; my makeup applies well, and it has helped with my dry skin. On the first day, I was worried because I had needle marks and some swelling, but now everything has calmed down, and there's a subtle glow to my skin. I often had troubles around my chin area, but maybe due to the dewy skin effect, it seems like the troubles have settled down! They said that drinking a lot of water for 2 to 3 days helps enhance and prolong the effects, so I've been drinking more water than usual and I see great results. I'll definitely consider a follow-up treatment 10000% haha. They said the Shurink treatment shows immediate results, but right after the procedure, I had a bit of swelling and didn't notice much. Once the swelling went down, I feel like my jawline has become more defined! I mentioned I was concerned about laugh lines, and they have slightly diminished! I noticed a clear difference when taking photos rather than just looking in the mirror! People around me have even asked if I've lost weight. I developed wrinkles on both sides of my forehead, and they said Botox would take effect within 1 to 2 weeks, but I'm already seeing results! Previously, when I had Botox between my eyebrows and forehead at another clinic, my double eyelid effect disappeared, but I heard they are having a brow-line Botox event this week, so I'm planning to go again.

    I had a great consultation and got treated right away. Maybe it was because I went after work, but I was really tired, and my eyes were looking a bit droopy with fine lines, so I added some Botox around my eyes and under my eyes. I have deep smile lines, so I got 4cc injected. It sounds like a lot, but my nose is big, so the indentation next to it was pretty noticeable. The doctor did a great job, and the adjustments were on point. I have bruising around my eyes, and the bruising by my smile lines on the right side is lasting a bit longer, which is a bit uncomfortable. I'm still wearing a mask, but I'm just hoping the bruising goes away quickly.

    Were you surprised to see the procedure photos?? Hehe, I had autologous dermis surgery for smile lines in 2023. At the time, I wanted a longer-lasting option compared to fillers or Botox, and the results have been absolutely amazing!!!!! ♡♡♡♡♡ As part of my maintenance routine, I got Botox for my smile lines (in the aristocratic area) this morning~! After the surgery, my wrinkles have naturally softened, and my smile lines are completely gone!. Now, it’s been about 2 years since the surgery, and instead of letting it completely go, I get Botox for my smile lines every 6 months for maintenance. I don't trust other places, and I only trust the doctor who did my surgery, so I drive for 1 hour and 20 minutes to go see him. It’s definitely kept me looking beautiful with this ongoing maintenance! ♡ My family and people around me often say that I look prettier and younger now! ♡ If you’re worried about smile lines, I definitely felt that considering autologous dermis surgery + maintenance is worth it rather than just repeating short-term procedures!! Because I've experienced a dramatic change myself, definitely check out Elle for a consultation after seeing my procedure photos~!! ♡

    I was really worried about how deep my smile lines looked when I smiled or talked, so I visited for a consultation about smile line Botox. The waiting area and the treatment room were both clean and quiet, making it easy to have a consultation without feeling pressured, and the staff guided me calmly, which left a good first impression. During the consultation, the doctor carefully examined my face from the front and side and didn't just recommend the treatment based on the wrinkles. He explained the causes of the smile lines, distinguishing between muscle use and hollowness, and suggested that since I use my facial muscles often, it would be best to use a small amount of Botox to soften them naturally. He honestly pointed out the limits, saying that going overboard could make the area around my mouth look unnatural, which added to my trust in him. The treatment was done with smile line Botox, and since I had numbing cream applied, it was just a little prickly. During the procedure, he kept checking in, asking 'Are you okay?', which helped me relax a lot. Right after the treatment, I only felt a slight tightness, and there was almost no bruising or swelling. After 3-4 days, I noticed that the smile lines folded less when I smiled, and I looked much softer, which increased my satisfaction. What made me happiest was hearing from those around me that my face looked relaxed. I felt much more trusting because they explained everything while considering the overall balance of my face without pushing for aggressive treatments and provided thorough aftercare instructions compared to other clinics. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for natural results.

    Today was my second visit, and I brought my mom with me. My mom had Botox done at another clinic before, and I remembered she mentioned that the area she had treated was wrinkling again, so I brought her along since we were in Wirae. I did the Botox on the bridge of my nose because I didn’t like the horizontal wrinkle, but today it hurt more than usual... I shed a few tears. I was planning to do my forehead as well, but I decided to save that for next time. My mom also had Botox done on her nose, and she said she wants to try filler for her nasolabial folds next time, so I plan to take her with me when I go for my forehead Botox next time. My mom is 79 years old, but she diligently puts on makeup every day... It seems that the desire to look beautiful has no age limit! We all age slowly together with Maypure♡

    Every time I looked in the mirror, I noticed my nasolabial lines getting deeper and making me look older, which really bothered and stressed me out. I felt especially depressed because they seemed to show up even more clearly in photos. So I asked a close friend, and they told me Botox was good for nasolabial folds, so I decided to try it and went to Ain Beauty Dermatology. At first, I was pretty worried because it was expensive and I was a little scared of the procedure, but the Nasolabial Fold Botox treatment was actually finished within 10 minutes, and the pain wasn’t too bad—I could tolerate it. They applied numbing cream first, and the needle only felt slightly prickly, so it was definitely bearable. Then, two days after getting the Botox, I started to notice the effects.

    I’ve always been self-conscious about my protruding teeth, so I finally got braces a bit late. After fixing my teeth, as time went by, I noticed that my laugh lines became really deep and it was particularly noticeable. Every time I looked in the mirror, it stressed me out. The deep laugh lines made me look older than my actual age, which was a concern for me. So, I decided to visit the newly opened Edit Clinic. I consulted about Botox and went through with the procedure. I really appreciated the detailed explanations from the doctor. During the Botox treatment, they considered the direction and movement of the muscles, and I liked that they provided thorough consultations throughout the process. After the Botox, the results are not awkward at all and look natural, so I am very satisfied.

    I came here because my smile lines were getting really deep, and I found this place through an internet search. They explained everything in detail, and the consultation nurse was incredibly kind. I initially only thought about getting fillers, but I ended up deciding to also get skin Botox. They said that the area under the eyes could not be treated with regular Botox, so I went with skin Botox. Right now, I got to do skin Botox at a lower price than other hospitals because of an April promotion. The clinic is clean, and it's all at the Rienjang Clinic. It's located in front of the Lotte Department Store in Gwaoldong, which is easy to find. Plus, because of their first-visit event, I was able to get domestically produced Botox for around 6,000 won, so I got some for my forehead during my last visit. I think this hospital would be a good choice for anyone considering similar treatments.

    I had been looking for Botox clinics in Nowon-gu and decided to visit here. With so many ads lately, I thoroughly researched, and the staff was friendly and the consultation was detailed. I discussed Botox for my forehead, frown lines, and laugh lines, and they explained the procedure methods, potential side effects, and costs rationally according to my skin condition. They asked me to make various facial expressions and checked the areas with wrinkles before administering Botox. I used to go to a plastic surgery clinic in Apgujeong by referral, but I was overall satisfied with the skill and consultation here. I think it would be great to manage my skin affordably through events. When I mentioned an upcoming family event next week, they gave realistic advice considering my thinner skin might bruise from fillers, and they refrain from pushing excessive treatments, which I appreciate! 😊

    I'm a homemaker in my early 40s, and lately I was really self-conscious about how tired my face looked because of my nasolabial folds whenever I took photos. My makeup hadn't changed, but I felt like I looked older for no particular reason, so after thinking it over, I eventually started looking into nasolabial fold filler. When I researched it, I found that the price of nasolabial fold filler varied from about 330,000 to 660,000 won depending on the clinic, and there were quite a lot of reviews too. Unlike Botox, which works by controlling the muscles, this treatment fills in lost volume, so it seemed like a better fit for me. The most important thing I heard during the consultation was “how naturally it would be done.” I was told that the nasolabial folds can look obvious if too much is injected, so I didn’t overdo it and went with a moderate amount. The procedure was over much more quickly than I expected, and the pain was just a slight stinging sensation, so it was bearable. When I looked in the mirror afterward, it looked a little awkward and swollen, but I was told that this was normal. Apparently, because the nasolabial area moves a lot, there can be swelling for about 2–3 days before it gradually starts to look more natural. After about three days, most of the swelling had gone down, and by around a week, it had definitely settled in naturally. What I was happiest about was that it looked “better without being obvious.” It didn’t look like I’d had a procedure done at all—more like my face just looked more refined? Rather than completely getting rid of my nasolabial folds, it softened them, making my overall expression look much brighter. My makeup also creases less and goes on more smoothly. I think the expression “it looks like my original face, just slightly improved” fits perfectly. Personally, I think it’s a good treatment for anyone who wants a natural-looking improvement, and if you’re worried about nasolabial folds, I recommend getting a consultation at least once.

    Lately, I've been really bothered by how deep the wrinkles on my face look. I wanted to get a proper consultation. The doctor carefully checked the condition of my facial muscles and skin elasticity, explaining which areas would benefit from which treatments one by one, which put me at ease. Since I have both expression lines and fine lines due to aging, he said that a natural combination of Botox and fillers would be the most suitable for me. The procedure was simpler than I expected. They started by injecting Botox into my forehead, glabella, and around my eyes, then filled in my nasolabial folds and sunken cheeks with a small amount of filler for volume. Thanks to the numbing cream, I felt almost no pain, and with my eyes closed, it was over so quickly that it was almost surprising. Right after the procedure, there was a bit of swelling and some tightness, but it wasn't very noticeable, and the clinic reassured me that I could go back to my normal activities right away, so I went back to the office, and my colleagues didn't even notice. For a day or two, I felt a little awkward when smiling or washing my face, but after about three days, my facial contour started to look naturally refined. I now have a youthful impression that isn't overdone, and I'm so satisfied every time I look in the mirror.

    It's easy to find because it's close to Gangnam station on the Shindbundang Line. This is my second visit. The lockers and restrooms are clean, which is nice, and the person who consulted with me was kind. I received Botox for my forehead and fillers for my nasolabial folds, and it seems the effects are better and last longer than elsewhere. At other clinics, the treatment rooms felt cluttered with beds all in one area, but here, the rooms are private, which I appreciated. The Botox didn't feel very painful, and the filler was fine because they numb the area beforehand. They were careful and attentive during the process, and they even had a cute doll in the treatment room as a thoughtful touch. I plan to return.

    Lately, I've been feeling like my smile lines look deeper every time I look in the mirror, so I decided to visit the dermatology clinic. From the consultation, they were really attentive, which made me trust them right from the start. They didn't just dismiss it as a sign of aging; they explained the loss of skin elasticity, sagging cheeks, and even my muscle usage habits, helping me to objectively understand the condition of my face. They explained that instead of aggressively treating the smile lines right away, they combine Botox, fillers, and elasticity lasers tailored to my skin condition for a natural improvement. They detailed what each treatment does, how long the effects last, and how to adjust everything to avoid an overdone look, which really eased my worries. I especially appreciated that they didn't push treatments and honestly discussed what my face truly needed. What stood out compared to other dermatology clinics was that they provided plenty of consultation time and that they prioritize 'naturalness' over results. They answered all my questions kindly and made it easy for me to decide without pressure, which I was really satisfied with. Beyond just managing my smile lines, I felt like I wanted to continue addressing all my overall skin concerns here.

    The staff were kind and the clinic was comfortable, so I was very satisfied. After consulting with the doctor, I got Botox in my forehead and glabella. They also recommended a fat-dissolving injection for my nasolabial folds, so I had that done as well. It only stung a little and didn’t really hurt. I was a bit worried, but the doctor explained everything so kindly, so I’m very satisfied.......! The clinic is also very close to Wangsimni Station, making it easy to get to, and there are lots of good restaurants nearby. I like that I can get treatments on weekends or after work. Another advantage is that they offer various promotions, so you can get treatments at a more reasonable price. If you’re concerned about your skin, I recommend Maypure Clinic’s Wangsimni branch.

    I had surgery for my nasolabial folds here a year ago, and I was so satisfied with the results that I still continue to visit this plastic surgery clinic regularly. I was so incredibly happy with the results that I even personally told the clinic they could use my photos for promotional purposes!! These days, I visit about every six months for Botox for my nasolabial folds, and I always leave feeling good because they warmly welcome me every time. In particular, I’ve known the coordinators for so long that they feel more like older sisters than clinic staff now haha. They’re always so kind and take such good care of me, so I feel comfortable every time I visit. The doctor has a rather charismatic personality, but explains exactly what’s needed and is the type who earns your trust through results. And most importantly, the doctor is incredibly skilled!♡ It’s quite a long distance from my home to Apgujeong, but whenever it’s time for my Botox, I have to come to this clinic. Since the doctor who performed my surgery also treats me, I can’t go anywhere else. I think there’s a reason I keep coming back even though it’s far away. This is one of the few clinics I’ve continued to visit for a long time and remain satisfied with~^^♡
