Recently, while browsing posts on dcard and ptt, I noticed many people asking “What are people thinking about Lienjang’s services?” Is this clinic really worth visiting? In this post, I’ll share my actual experience at Lienjang’s Myeongdong and Gangnam branches, along with a comparison of their service fees, so you can make an informed decision.
What is Lienjang? A quick introduction
>Lienjang is a chain of dermatology clinics located in Seoul’s Myeongdong, Gangnam, and Hongdae areas. It has received a lot of attention on the Taiwanese forum dcard, mainly because its Myeongdong branch is extremely convenient – it’s only a 3-minute walk from Myeongdong Station. Many tourists who visit Korea take the opportunity to stop by. The clinic also offers comprehensive Chinese-language services, with dedicated staff at the Myeongdong branch to ensure no language barriers arise.
✅ Positive aspects
- Excellent Chinese services: The Myeongdong branch has dedicated Chinese-speaking staff, and many reviews on dcard mention that communication is smooth without the need for translation apps.
- High-quality Hyaluronic Acid injections: Users generally find the Juvelook injections to look natural with quick recovery times. The cost is around 240,000–280,000 KRW (about NT$6,480–7,560), which is considered moderate compared to other clinics in the area.
- Proficient doctors: Reviews consistently praise the doctors’ skills, especially when it comes to Botox injections. The Gangnam branch uses Coretox, a pure form of Botox that reduces the risk of resistance.
- Clean environment and reasonable waiting times
- On weekdays, wait times are usually around 10–20 minutes, which is shorter than at many other clinics in the same area.
