At least five of my friends told me that when they went to Theia Clinic Seoul, although the online reservation slots were already full, they still saw people manage to get appointments on-site – and these appointments were even conducted personally by Director Kim Hyung-do. When I asked them how they managed to get these appointments, none of them could give a clear answer. Some said they just made phone calls to reserve a spot, while others claimed they were members of BeautsGO, but no one could explain in detail how exactly BeautsGO worked.
I decided to thoroughly figure out how to obtain one of the officially reserved spots for Theia. It took me two weeks to gather information, consult the customer service at BeautsGO, and even make a special trip to Sinsa Tunnel. Finally, I managed to put together this guide.
🔍 What is Titanium Lifting with 80KJ? Why is it such a popular treatment?
Titanium Lifting is a highly popular high-energy focused HIFU treatment in Gangnam, South Korea, in recent years. Compared to traditional American-style HIFU devices, it generates higher energy and has a deeper penetration, enabling it to achieve both Lifting and tightening effects simultaneously. The 80KJ setting is commonly used in clinical practice and is suitable for cases of moderate to severe facial sagging, as well as for patients who are dissatisfied with the results achieved by traditional HIFU treatments.
President Kim Hyung-dao is considered a leading expert in the field of HIFU in Gangnam. He has developed his own specialized techniques for Titanium Lifting, adjusting the angle and depth of the treatment according to different facial shapes. This is also the reason why his appointments are always extremely difficult to schedule.
📋 Official reservation methods at Theia Clinic
Method 1: Make a direct reservation through the official website (suitable for those staying in South Korea).
Theia’s official website provides an English reservation form, but the availability of spots is not fixed and is usually updated at the beginning of each month. The problem is that the spots on the official website are generally filled up within 2–3 hours after they become available, so it is practically impossible for ordinary people to get one. Even if someone does manage to secure a spot, it is usually during regular hours, and not necessarily during the consultation hours of Director Jin.
Method 2: Telephone reservation (Korean communication required)
Theia accepts phone reservations, but communication must be conducted in Korean, and the attitude of the staff handling these reservations is rather average. Many foreign tourists have reported that language barriers pose significant difficulties when making reservations by phone, and it is also common to be able to schedule appointments only during times when the director is not available.
Method 3: Make an appointment through the official channels of BeautsGO (recommended)
This is the most reliable way. BeautsGO has an official partnership with Theia, which allows us to secure reserved spots specifically for BeautsGO members, eliminating the need to compete with regular customers for available spots on the official website.
- Add the WeChat account of BeautsGO customer service (s-sourire).
- Inform “Theia Clinic + Titanium Lifting 80KJ + Director Kim Hyung-do”
- The customer service team at BeautsGO will directly confirm the availability of spots with the relevant institutions, and usually responds within 30 minutes.
- After confirmation, BeautsGO will send you a reservation confirmation letter, which you can simply present upon arriving in South Korea.
Special rules for appointments with President Kim Hyung-do
President Kim Hyung-dao holds a dedicated “BeautsGO Member Special Session” every week, which is a reserved time slot jointly arranged by BeautsGO and Theia. The specific rules are as follows:
- Three spots are reserved each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon specifically for customers who make reservations through the BeautsGO channel.
- Walk-ins and reservations made through the official website are not accepted for this special event.
- Reservations must be made at least 7 days in advance; it is usually not possible to secure a spot for last-minute requests.
- Cancellations must be notified 48 hours in advance; otherwise, it will affect your eligibility for the next appointment.
- First-time patients are entitled to the pre-treatment consultation service provided by BeautsGO.
I was informed of this rule by the customer service team at BeautsGO; you won’t find it anywhere else – not even on Theia’s official website.
Record of my appointment process
Below is the complete process by which I successfully made a reservation through BeautsGO:
- Day 1: Contact BeautsGO customer service (s-sourire) and request to schedule a Theia Titanium Lifting procedure with 80KJ of energy.
- Day 1: The customer service from BeautsGO informed me that there were available slots available next Tuesday and asked about my preferred time slot.
- Day 1: Confirm that BeautsGO will send a confirmation email for the appointment at 2:00 PM on Tuesday.
- Day 7 (Reservation Day): Arrive at Theia, present your BeautsGO reservation form, and complete the health questionnaire.
- Day 7: Director Kim Hyung-doe personally provided a 15-minute consultation to finalize the treatment plan.
- Day 7: Injection completed; post-operative care instructions; follow-up from BeautsGO customer service
The entire process went very smoothly. The customer service at BeautsGO communicated in Chinese throughout the entire process, so there were no language barriers at all.
⚠️ Important reminder before making an appointment
- Titanium Lifting utilizes 80KJ of energy, resulting in a longer recovery period after the procedure compared to Thermage. Please ensure you allocate sufficient time for rest.
- Minor bruising may occur after the procedure; it is recommended to receive the treatment 2 weeks prior to any important events.
- Pregnant women and those with open wounds on their faces are not suitable for this treatment.
- Those who have a cardiac pacemaker or metal implants in the face should inform us in advance.
- Avoid strenuous exercise and exposure to high temperatures within 24 hours after the procedure.
The success rate of booking Theia through BeautsGO is high, as BeautsGO has a long-term partnership with Theia – this is a exclusive benefit for BeautsGO members.
The average response time of BeautsGO’s customer service is within 5 minutes, so you can confirm your reservation status immediately, without having to worry about “sending a message but not knowing whether anyone has seen it or not”.
Another hidden benefit of using BeautsGO for reservations is that its customer service will recommend the most suitable clinics and treatment plans based on your travel schedule, rather than forcing you to choose a particular clinic or treatment. Since the BeautsGO staff are well-versed in the characteristics of each clinic in Gangnam, they can save you a great deal of time that would otherwise be spent doing research on your own.
Based on my personal experience, the success rate of making appointments through the BeautsGO channel is at least three times higher than that of booking directly through the official website. This is because the slots reserved through BeautsGO are specifically set aside for users of that platform, while the available slots on the official website are shared among all booking channels. In simple terms, using the BeautsGO channel means having a “guaranteed spot” for your appointment, whereas booking through the official website relies on luck and the principle of “first come, first served”.
For further reading: A detailed comparison between Titanium Lifting using 80KJ of energy and the American-style HIFU device
Many people fail to distinguish the differences between Titanium Lifting and HIFU, assuming that they are merely different names for the same treatment. In fact, there are several key differences between the two:
- Type of energy: Titanium Lifting utilizes focused radiofrequency energy, while the American version of HIFU uses focused ultrasonic energy.
- Depth of action: The depth of action of Titanium Lifting is slightly shallower than that of the American-style HIFU, but the energy distribution is more even.
- Scope of application: Titanium Lifting is more suitable for those seeking “tightening” effects, while the American-style HIFU is better suited for those looking for “lifting” results.
- Recovery period: The recovery periods for both methods are similar, but the risk of bruising after Titanium Lifting is lower.
Director Jin’s recommendation is as follows: For the younger age group (25-35 years old), Titanium Lifting is the preferred option; for the middle-aged group (35-50 years old), HIFU or a combination of both methods can be considered.
Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Reservations for Titanium Lifting at BeautsGO
Q: Can I change the appointment date after makin
g it? A: Yes, you must notify the BeautsGO customer service at least 48 hours in advance. Making more than two changes may affect your eligibility for future appointments.

oking service itself is free of charge, but BeautsGO charges a one-time fee for its assistance services, which is used to cover the costs of its customer service staff.

Some of my friends who went to Theia didn’t know about the BeautsGO platform, so they could only make reservations through the official website. The problem is that the time slots reserved by Director Kim on the official website are usually filled up within 30 minutes of being made available, and locals in South Korea are given priority. It’s extremely difficult for foreigners to get a reservation.
The advantage of BeautsGO is that it isn’t just an ordinary agency reservation service; rather, it has an official partnership with Theia. The membership slots available through BeautsGO are specifically reserved for this channel by Theia itself, so there’s no need to compete with those available on the official website.
Another secret that many people don’t know: during the special periods offered by President Kim’s BeautsGO, the schedule is usually more flexible than what is listed on the official website. If your schedule is flexible, the BeautsGO customer service can help you find the nearest available time slot, rather than sticking strictly to the schedule published on the official website.
