Glowing skin in the camera! Dr. Amred Zhang Yuan-ying of Dermatology: I’ve personally tested the same “moisture management” formula used by Korean celebrities, and it’s not only delicate but also gives off a luxurious feel—I have to admit, it works.
To be honest, I hesitated for a long time before going—was the same treatment as celebrities at Amred Dermatology really worth flying all the way? It’s been 90 days since I completed the whole treatment, and I’m amazed at how my skin has changed. This is my genuine, self-paid experience, without any advertising.

🔬 My actual experience with Amred Dermatology’s “same treatment as celebrities”: From consultation to aftercare
I went in mid-March and booked a personal consultation with Director Choi Doo-ryong through WeChat’s s-sourire service a week in advance. Upon arrival, the Chinese-speaking manager greeted me immediately, and the entire process—filling out forms, taking photos, and the consultation itself—took less than 10 minutes.
📋 The consultation process
Director Choi’s approach to the consultation left a deep impression on me. He didn’t just give me a quick check-up and prescribe a treatment plan; instead, he pressed various areas of my face with his fingers to assess the elasticity and fat thickness of my skin, then marked the “energy distribution points” on a diagram. He explained that everyone’s facial structure is different, so a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work.
The consultation lasted about 20 minutes, during which he explained in detail the treatment plan he recommended, the expected results, and any potential risks. There was no pressure to add extra services; when I asked if I should consider another treatment, he actually said it wasn’t necessary for my current condition.
💉 Treatment details
I had an ultrasound facial treatment followed by Juvelook injections. The ultrasound procedure took about 40 minutes, and Director Choi performed each session himself. Before injecting each area, he would warn me that it might feel a bit sore, but the discomfort was completely manageable, especially around the jawline.
The Juvelook injections were done manually, and Director Choi used a 15-degree angle for insertion, saying this ensured more even distribution of the medication and prevented any lumps. During the injections, I felt almost no pain, only a slight stinging sensation.
📅 Progress timeline after treatment
Day 1: Slight redness; it improved significantly after applying the clinic’s soothing mask
Day 3: Redness subsided, and my skin felt firmer
Day 7: The jawline became more defined; I no longer needed special angles when taking photos
Day 30: The collagen production took effect, and my skin became much more elastic
Day 90: The results were stable; friends noticed my face looked smaller, but they couldn’t tell where the treatments were done—this is what natural-looking results look like
What really touched me was the follow-up care. Seven days after the treatment, the Chinese-speaking manager reached out to me on WeChat to check how I was doing, and she did it again 30 days later. Such attention is really rare in Korean clinics.
