I went for an Aqua Peel + LDM treatment again this time. Since this week is the actual ceremony, I got it for the first time, and the staff were really friendly. While getting the treatment, I felt so relaxed and it was great. After the Aqua Peel, my skin did get a bit red, but I think it will be fine soon. Last time I received elasticity care, and today I got calming care, but honestly, I don't see a big difference! But it's good. I have one session left, and I'm thinking of going for elasticity care next time. Since it's close to home, I want to keep coming for treatments even after the ceremony. Compared to other dermatology clinics, the prices are quite reasonable, and the quick treatments and care were nice. Well, I just filled 300 characters.

As I age, the pores on my face have gotten larger, my skin's elasticity has decreased significantly, and I've developed a lot of fine lines, so I wanted to get some facial treatments. It seemed convenient to go to a clinic near my home, and the feedback from others around me was okay, so I chose this clinic. I was a bit worried about the recovery time after the procedure and any potential side effects, so I decided to get LDM treatments about once a week. I've had about three sessions so far, but I haven't really noticed any changes yet. I'm planning to keep up with the treatments regularly. There are a lot of people, so it can be harder to make appointments than I expected, but since it’s close to home and they take good care of me, I’m pretty satisfied.

I had a procedure after the consultation, and they didn't push me too hard. I really dislike the 'this price is only for today' gimmick, but they told me there will be other events in the future, so I can think it over and come in at the right time, which I appreciated. I received LDM and exosomes, and while the exosomes I had at another clinic before caused some pain, there was none here at all. There were a few needle marks, but they’re coverable with makeup, so I think I’ll be fine even if I have plans the next day. (If you're sensitive, I recommend a three-day resting period.) They said the effects would appear after a week, so I'm still hopeful! Once I see the results, I'm planning to buy a package. The package price seems good, so I'm really looking forward to the effects showing up soon.

The head doctor kindly performed the treatment while explaining everything. I've always been doing the Genesis + Toning + V-Drain combo (I bought a package of 10), and yesterday was my first time trying PicoFractional at session 7. The doctor kindly explained everything during the anesthesia and extended the anesthesia time as I wanted, which was great! I also wanted an additional 6 minutes of LDM, and I was happy that we proceeded with the laser, LDM, and then cryo management just as I preferred. Moreover, before I left, the staff at the consultation desk kindly explained the aftercare instructions and even provided me with a mask, which made me feel good! Haha. It's a pity I can't use the regenerative cream from the dermatology clinic due to its price, as it would have been good for me. Haha.

Treatments received: Pico + Cell Exosome + LDM + LED + modeling, session 2 of 5. After coming back from my summer vacation, some dark spots started to show up, so I bought a five-session package for a light toning treatment and Cell Exosome. It was convenient to make appointments either through KakaoTalk or Naver Booking. Sometimes there’s a bit of a wait, while other times I’m taken in right away for the treatment—it seems to vary depending on the situation. Parking at the west building is a little inconvenient because you have to walk a bit, but the facilities are nice and I’m satisfied overall. Since this was only my second session, I haven’t seen any major results yet, but I liked how carefully they performed the toning treatment. The bed was also fairly high and spacious, so I was comfortable throughout the treatment.

Since I’ve always been pleased with the Gwangmyeong branch, I visited Yeongtong today after work. The information staff and the doctors inside were all incredibly kind, continuously checking to ensure I was comfortable during the treatment. Since I had an event on Sunday, they recommended treatments focused on calming my skin. The costs were very reasonable compared to other dermatology clinics, so visiting seems like a great idea. Additionally, making reservations meant I was able to proceed directly without much waiting. The paprika laser plus LDM didn’t leave my skin looking red at all, but I’ll have to see how my skin looks tomorrow for a definite answer. Regardless, I think I’ll be frequently using both the Yeongtong and Gwangmyeong locations and highly recommend them!

My skin broke out because it’s summer, so I went to a dermatology clinic and got LDM skin rejuvenation treatment!! They took such great care of me and were very thorough, so I left feeling really good. The clinic was clean, and they explained everything well during the consultation. There seemed to be quite a few patients, but I got in much faster than expected without having to wait. I also got lip filler, and the doctor did such a careful job without making them look too excessive, and it didn’t hurt at all. I got Neuramis, and I absolutely love the design!! I think they’ll look even more natural and prettier once the swelling goes down. People around me also said they look natural and pretty. When they asked where I got them done and I told them, everyone seemed to know the clinic’s name. I guess it’s a pretty famous clinic. I’ll definitely visit again next time.

I received Rejuran Healer, Juvederm, Genesis Laser, Aqua Peel, and LDM water droplet lifting treatments! They applied the numbing cream meticulously, so there was almost no pain. The effects of the treatment and when to maintain it will show more after about two weeks, and it's recommended to get 3-4 treatments every month if you want to maintain it longer! After that, treatments every 3 to 6 months should be fine! The recovery period was about 2-3 days, after which the swelling and redness subsided, and I had no side effects at all. I have quite dry skin, so my makeup used to cake and I had a lot of dryness, but ever since the treatment, my makeup goes on well, and the dryness has disappeared, making me really satisfied!~~~^^ I think it would be good to get regular maintenance.

I went back because it was time for my skin Botox, and since they were running a promotion, I paid 500,000 won. It was nice that I could receive a total of 600,000 won in benefits, including 100,000 won in points. I had skin Botox, a five-session premium LDM package, and extractions on my upper back, but I felt very uncomfortable because there was a CCTV camera in front of the treatment bed, and instead of providing the tube-top gown that other places usually give you for changing, they gave me a regular gown. So I had to lift my upper body to take off the gown, and the CCTV camera was positioned at just that angle. Since I was awkwardly trying to take it off while lying face down, a staff member helped me. I think it would be nice if they provided tube-top gowns in the future. I’m satisfied with the facial skin care, so I visit often.

I'm not sure about the attending doctor, but for an event, it cost 110 won to remove one mole, so I ended up removing two moles. Also, the GentleMax laser hair removal package for chin and mustache was 180,000 won, which was really good. However, since it was cheap, the waiting time was quite long, and the anesthesia was ice instead of cream. They do a thorough job with the hair removal, it did hurt a bit. The clinic is clean, and the staff is friendly, plus it's conveniently located in front of Gangnam Station. After the mole removal, I also received LDM treatment, and they do a meticulous job. The washing area is clean, and if you ask for sunscreen, they'll apply it for you. I think I'll come back and keep going, but hair removal is done about every four weeks.

Honestly, I’d give today’s treatment a 5 out of 10. The Aqua Peel was far too gentle, so I couldn’t tell whether I’d even had the treatment or not. I signed the treatment consent form at the first-floor desk, but then they had me sign it again on the second floor and repeated the same explanation. Mr. Lee didn’t seem very trustworthy. Heat is important for InMode, but they treated me before it had even heated up, saying that I was tolerating it well. It wasn’t that I tolerated it well—it simply wasn’t hot! And I had to wait 10 minutes just to receive the final LDM water-drop lifting treatment. They didn’t say a word about why it was delayed and were too busy chatting among themselves. I went out of my way to make time for today’s treatment, so I’m really disappointed. I’ve been going to Abijou for more than 10 years, but the service is getting worse and worse.

Every time I visit, the staff are always friendly and the clinic is clean. The doctor who treated me was so thorough, so I’m extremely satisfied with the treatment. I had dual toning done. They were very thorough with the treatment, too, and I’ll keep coming in regularly until I have clear skin. I also had LDM, and I’m grateful they were so kind and considerate. The doctor who treated me was so thorough, so I’m extremely satisfied with the treatment. I had toning, Laser Genesis, skin Botox, and Glabellar Botox. I’m hoping to have glowing, radiant skin without wrinkles~~ I guess I’ll have to keep it up until my melasma is gone. All the staff were friendly, and the doctor was pleasant and thorough, which put me at ease. I’m leaving a review as soon as I came out after the treatment.

First, I visited the Abijou Cheongdam branch on my day off. I had made appointments before but missed them several times for various reasons. This time, I used my day off to visit the Abijou Cheongdam branch. The treatments I received were LDM Water Drop Lifting, Pico Toning, and Aqua Peel. The LDM Water Drop Lifting was really just called that—it wasn’t actually lifting, but more of a hydrating and soothing treatment. There was a slight warm sensation, and they rubbed my face about three times. I have quite a lot of melasma, probably because I work outdoors, so they did the Pico Toning very thoroughly at a setting for men. The Aqua Peel went up to the second solution. Even so, the person performing the treatment was very thorough. Afterward, I had a modeling mask applied, but I needed to pee. I had it on for 15 minutes and went straight to the restroom afterward. For my first visit, I was satisfied with the facilities and think I made the right choice coming here.

First of all, I took my day off to visit the Abijou Cheongdam branch. I had to cancel my appointments multiple times for various reasons, but finally, I used my day off to visit the Abijou Cheongdam branch. I received LDM water droplet lifting and pico-toning. There was also an aqua peeling. The LDM water droplet lifting was more about hydration and soothing rather than actual lifting. It was slightly warm, and they rubbed my face about three times. The pico-toning was thorough, probably because I have a lot of dark spots from outdoor exposure, but the male technician was very meticulous. The aqua peeling went down to the second step, but the person performing it was very detailed. After that, I had a modeling pack, but I really needed to use the restroom. It lasted for about 15 minutes, and I went straight to the bathroom afterward. For my first visit, I was satisfied with the facilities and feel like I made a good decision.

I had a really good experience 😊 I visit here regularly, and every time I go, I'm highly satisfied. All the staff is polite, and without any excessive recommendations or pressure, which makes me trust them. This time, the staff performed LDM on me, and every time after treatment, my skin feels comfortable and my condition improves. This is my seventh visit already, and the effects are so good that I plan to pay for even more sessions. The overall care is meticulous, and the atmosphere is relaxing, so it's very good 👍😍 I plan to visit frequently, so I hope there will be more events. However, since it’s popular, the waiting time on weekends can be longer, but going during lunch or evening on weekdays tends to be much quieter.

I visited the You & I Clinic in Sambon for laser treatment. Every time I go, I can't help but feel that the clean white interior of the clinic makes me feel good. The pleasant scent always gives a nice feeling at You & I Clinic. The nurses are always kind, and the doctor who performs the procedures is very thorough. This time, I visited on a weekday afternoon, and it was the first time there was no one waiting. I think I was lucky. As soon as I arrived, the laser treatment started, and it took less than an hour to do the LDM massage and pack while lying on an independent bed. It really ended quickly. After the laser treatment, my skin feels quite tight, so I apply regeneration cream and pay a bit more attention to my face. I feel like it's getting better little by little after the procedure, which is nice ^^

I received Thermage with 600 shots, a low-pain injection, Skin Vibe, and a velvet mask pack. I was concerned about Thermage because I heard it could be quite painful, but with the pain-reducing injection, it turned out to be not that bad at all. Before the procedure, they verified the authenticity of the tip, which made me trust them even more! After the 600 shots of Thermage, my face became plump and bouncy like mochi. The immediate results are impressive, and I’m excited to see how much better it will look in a month! I also received Skin Vibe, and before the treatment, my face was really dry, but today, even without applying anything, there's no tightening sensation! I plan to keep this up quarterly! All the staff were friendly, and the doctor meticulously designed the procedure to address my concerns, so I was extremely satisfied.

I recently visited the clinic for an LDM Water Drop Lifting treatment, and I was extremely satisfied with both the overall service and the facilities! First of all, the clinic was very quiet, clean, and well-organized, so I immediately felt calm and comfortable the moment I walked in. The skill and kindness of the aesthetician in charge especially stood out. After carefully checking my skin condition, she provided meticulous, customized care at an intensity suited to my skin. Her touch was so gentle and delicate that, rather than feeling any discomfort, I found the whole experience so relaxing that I nearly fell asleep. Perhaps because her technique was so good, my skin felt noticeably more hydrated and firm from within immediately after the treatment, and it was in much better condition for makeup as well. I was truly satisfied that I could soothe and moisturize my skin at the same time without any irritation, and this is definitely a place I would like to keep visiting for regular treatments. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a kind and skilled esthetician or clinic!

This was my first time getting an LDM treatment, and I was very satisfied because it was much more comfortable than I expected. There was almost no pain during the treatment, and it felt like my skin was being cared for with a warm sensation, so I didn’t feel any discomfort. Right after the treatment, my skin felt more hydrated and the redness seemed to have calmed down a little, so I could notice a difference right away. I naturally have dry, sensitive skin that tends to feel tight and become irritated easily whenever the seasons change, but after the treatment, my skin felt noticeably smoother and firmer. I was especially pleased that my makeup settled better, with less patchiness, and my skin texture looked smoother. I could feel that my skin was in better condition after just one treatment, but I also felt that regular treatments would be even more helpful for strengthening the skin barrier and retaining moisture. I didn’t experience any particular irritation or discomfort during or after the treatment, so I think even people with sensitive skin could receive it without much worry. I’d like to continue getting treatments regularly, especially when my skin becomes sensitive or especially dry. Overall, it was a highly satisfying treatment.
