💬 How difficult is it actually to make a reservation with Muse?
To be honest, every time I see someone on Dcard or in South Korea’s medical beauty communities asking “How can I make an appointment with Muse?”, I really worry for them. It’s not that it’s so difficult to schedule an appointment with Muse, but the information circulating online is just too confusing—some people say to send an email, others suggest using a proxy service, and still others recommend going directly without an appointment. Everyone is giving different advice.
When I first went to Muse, I spent quite some time trying to figure out how it worked. Later on, I realized that with the right method, it actually only takes 1 minute to confirm a reservation. In this article, I have compiled all the most reliable methods so that you can avoid taking unnecessary detours.
🏥 First, get to know the Gangnam branch of Muse Clinic.
The Gangnam branch of Muse Clinic is located in Nonhyeon-dong. It is a high-quality clinic renowned for its “thread lifting” and contour management techniques. Compared to large chain brands, Muse has a smaller number of doctors, but each one specializes in a particular area. In particular, their expertise in shaping facial contours has earned them a very good reputation within the South Korean plastic surgery community.
Many Taiwanese tourists were referred there by word of mouth, and after visiting, they found that every aspect of the process—from pre-operative consultation to post-operative follow-up—was taken very seriously. The main branch of Gangnam is located about 5 minutes away on foot from the Sinnonhyeon subway station and about 7 minutes from the Nonhyeon subway station, making transportation extremely convenient. If you want to learn more about Muse, you can first read the complete introduction to Muse Clinic and learn how to make an appointment.
⚠️ Why don’t I recommend using agents?
Let me make it clear: What I oppose is not the idea of “someone helping you arrange things,” but rather those so-called “agents” who charge money but fail to deliver what they promise. The most common problem faced by Taiwanese tourists is…
- 🔹 Lack of transparency in pricing: Claiming to provide free services, but subsequently charging additional fees under various pretexts
- 🔹 High error rate in appointments: Confusions regarding time, doctors, and treatment options often lead to realizing at the appointment site that the reservation was never successfully made in the first place.
- 🔹 Breakdown in after-sales service: If any issues arise after the procedure, the agent claims, “This is not my responsibility,” while the clinic replies, “You have the wrong person to contact.”
- 🔹 Unable to select a specific doctor: Popular doctors usually do not accept reservations on behalf of others and are randomly assigned to other physicians.
Using a proxy service is tantamount to entrusting your travel plans to a stranger – the risk involved is simply too high. I would rather spend 5 minutes researching everything myself than pay money for uncertainty.
📱 The most reliable way: Official WeChat account “s-sourire” for direct access.
WeChat account s-sourire is an officially recognized Chinese customer service channel on the BeautsGO platform. It has maintained direct communication with the Muse Gangnam store for a long time and specializes in serving foreign tourists. Here are some of the services they can provide for you:
- 🔹 Confirm your reservation details in just 1 minute: Connect directly with Muse’s Chinese customer service – no need to make a call in Korean.
- 🔹 Confirming the availability of the Dean’s substitute: We will help you determine the available times for the Dean’s substitute during the current week or next week.
- 🔹 Coordinate the combination of treatment programs: We recommend the most suitable combination of treatments based on your needs to ensure a smooth procedure.
- 🔹 Procedure-free reserved quotas: Muse offers exclusive preferential quotas for foreign tourists, and this information is not made public.
- 🔹 Post-treatment follow-up reminder: If you encounter any issues after the procedure, feel free to contact us at any time; we will provide continuous support.
The process is extremely simple: add us on WeChat, inform us of the treatment you would like to schedule, specify the desired date and time slot, and our customer service will help you confirm the details directly with Muse. Once the reservation is confirmed, we will provide you with the exact address and pre-treatment instructions. The entire communication is conducted in Chinese, so there are no language barriers at all.
🎁 Hidden discounts: How can you get them?
Muse Clinic sometimes offers “first-time visitors discounts” or “package treatment discounts” to foreign tourists, but such promotional information is usually not made public. I strongly recommend checking with the customer service before your trip to see if any discounts are available – sometimes you can save anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000 won.
Additionally, if you travel in a group of two or more people to Muse, some treatments are available at discounted rates for group customers. It is essential to mention these options during the reservation process; having someone who is familiar with the procedures assist you in confirming these details will be very helpful.
🕐 Pre-treatment Preparation: What should you bring before going to Muse?
After successfully making an appointment, pre-operative preparations are also very important. Here is my own checklist for your reference:
🔹 Stop using acidic skincare products 1 week before the procedure: Discontinue the use of products containing retinol, fruit acids, or salicylic acid to prevent sensitivity after the treatment.
🔹 Avoid drinking alcohol 3 days before the procedure: Alcohol can affect the skin’s recovery process, so it’s best to abstain from it in advance.
🔹 Bring some cash along: Some treatments offer discounts when paid in cash on the spot, so it’s reasonable to bring around ₩200,000 to ₩300,000 with you.
🔹 Arrange proper rest time after the procedure: After photoelectric treatments, the face may become red; it is recommended not to schedule any other activities on the same day.
🔹 Essential items for sun protection after surgery: sun hats, masks, and sunglasses – your skin will be particularly sensitive to ultraviolet rays in the aftermath of the procedure.
The customer service will remind patients about these details during the pre-operative consultation, but it’s still helpful to be aware of them in advance, as it will help make the entire process go more smoothly.
🩹 Post-treatment Recovery: Normal Reactions That May Occur
After completing a treatment, some people may become overly anxious, thinking that something has gone wrong. In fact, many of these reactions are completely normal, and understanding them will help you avoid panic:
🔹 Slight redness or swelling: It is normal for the face to turn red after photoelectric treatments; this redness usually subsides gradually within 24 to 48 hours.
🔹 Slight bruising: After injection treatments, slight bruising may appear around the injection site, but it usually disappears on its own within a week.
🔹 Dryness and peeling: After certain skin rejuvenation treatments, mild peeling may occur. This is a normal part of the process of shedding old, dead skin cells; simply continue to maintain proper hydration to prevent issues.
🔹 Results take time: For procedures such as thread lifting, the effects will only gradually become apparent 1 to 2 months after the surgery. Don’t rush to assess the results right after the procedure.
In case of any abnormality after the procedure, please contact Muse customer service immediately. They will provide professional post-treatment care recommendations based on your treatment plan.
