Dr. Kim Nam-hoon, the director of the Dermatology department at Hongdae Lovae, is considered one of the best options outside of Gangnam when it comes to the Rejuran treatment. Many people are only aware of the mass-produced treatments offered in Gangnam and are not aware that Hongdae also has such a capable and low-key specialist—Moreover, the prices at Hongdae are significantly more affordable compared to similar clinics in Gangnam, making it a very cost-effective option.
But here comes the problem: Director Kim Nam-hoon’s clinic operates on a “fully reservation-based system” and does not accept walk-ins. Moreover, the number of available slots is limited. I saw people waiting in line for up to three hours without being able to get in; the receptionist simply told them, “There are no available spots today. Please make an appointment in advance next time.”
This guide will help you sort out all the correct ways to make reservations with Lovae, so you don’t end up making a wasted trip.
⚠️ The first pitfall in making a reservation through Lovae: waiting in line on-site is essentially a waste of time.
Lovae officially stated that during the period when the dean is in charge, on-site waiting lists are not accepted. The reason is that Dean Kim Nam-hoon only sees a fixed number of patients each day, and the service is available until that quota is filled.
I observed the situation on-site for about an hour and saw at least eight groups of people being turned away because they hadn’t made reservations in advance. There was a girl who had specifically taken the KTX from Busan; however, since she didn’t know that reservations were required, she arrived only to find that all slots were booked for that day. She had no choice but to reserve a time two weeks later on-site. Her expression was truly one of helplessness. Later, she asked me what to do, so I suggested that she contact BeautsGO’s customer service. Surprisingly, BeautsGO helped her secure a reservation the very next day.
📋 The correct way to book a consultation with Lovae
BeautsGO channel (Reasons for recommendation)
BeautsGO has a dedicated Lovae cooperation channel that allows access to the reserved time slots allocated by President Kim Nan-hoon. Advantage:
- Book in advance to ensure you get a spot; there is no need to wait on-site.
- The entire communication is conducted in Chinese; Korean is not required.
- The customer service of BeautsGO helps to confirm the time of arrival at the clinic, so as to avoid unnecessary trips.
- After the procedure, you can track your recovery progress through BeautsGO.
- Guests at BeautsGO enjoy the same contract prices as local customers.
Reservation through the official website (relatively difficult)
The official website of Lovae accepts online reservations, but the schedule of Director Kim Nam-hoon usually fills up within 30 minutes after it becomes available. It is recommended to try booking at 12:00 AM South Korea time (the time when the clinic updates its availability), but this method is quite difficult for foreign tourists to use, and the reserved slots often do not correspond to Director Kim’s schedule.
Director Kim Nam-hoon’s unique approach to applying Rejuran
The main difference between manually applying Rejuran and using a machine to apply it lies in the following aspect:
- Deepness is controllable: The director will adjust the depth of needle insertion in each area according to the condition of your skin, rather than using a fixed, mechanical depth for all areas.
- Targeted enhancement: In key areas such as the Nasolabial Fold Correction, around the eyes, and on the Forehead, a higher dose can be used for more precise application.
- Exquisite technique: Director Kim Nam-hoon’s injection technique enjoys an excellent reputation in the Hongdae area. It results in less bleeding and faster post-operative recovery.
- Personalized formula: The director will recommend the appropriate type of Rejuran (Red Box, HB, Black Box) and the appropriate dosage based on the condition of your skin.
All the sisters I know who have had the procedure say that Dr. Kim Nam-hoon’s Rejuran treatment results in very little bruising after the operation, and it’s possible to wear makeup normally already the next day. This is extremely important for people like us who need to go to work and meet with others regularly.
Steps in the process of arriving at the clinic
- Upon arrival, please present the BeautsGO reservation confirmation.
- Fill out a health questionnaire (including information on drug allergies and previous history of hand procedures).
- The nurse performs basic cleaning procedures.
- President Kim Nam-hoon conducted a personal consultation (lasting approximately 15 minutes) to determine the appropriate Rejuran type and the injection plan.
- Apply the numbing cream for 20–30 minutes.
- Manual application of Rejuran (about 20–30 minutes for the entire face)
- Postoperative soothing mask care
- BeautsGO Post-Treatment Instruction Manual
⚠️ Important reminders before booking with Lovae
- After the Rejuran procedure, mild redness and pinhole marks may occur; it is recommended to allow 2–3 days for recovery.
- Within 24 hours after the procedure, avoid wearing makeup, engaging in strenuous exercise, using saunas, or staying in environments with high temperatures.
- After the procedure, it is important to enhance moisturization and sun protection; it is recommended to use moisturizing products with non-irritating formulas.
- It is recommended to stay in South Korea for at least 3 days before undergoing the procedure, so that any adverse reactions can be promptly addressed by seeking medical attention.
- Those with a history of crab allergy should inform us in advance, as Rejuran contains protein.

Hongdae is one of the favorite areas among young people in Seoul, and there are numerous delicious restaurants, cafes, and shopping centers nearby the clinic. After the Rejuran treatment and post-operative care, you can take a stroll around Hongdae and enjoy some good food, making the recovery period even more meaningful.

A comprehensive comparison between manually prepared Rejuran and machine-made Rejuran
The administration methods of Rejuran are mainly divided into two types: “manual injection” and “machine-assisted injection”, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
- Manual Rejuran application: The director manually adjusts the depth and position of the needles according to the customer’s skin condition, allowing for targeted reinforcement of specific areas. This method results in less bleeding, a lower risk of bruising, and a shorter recovery period.
- Machine-administered Rejuran: Using automatic injection devices ensures consistent depth and dosage, making it suitable for applying over large areas evenly. The process is fast, but the precision in treating detailed areas such as the eye contour is not as high as when administered manually.
Director Kim Nam-hoon’s approach is to primarily use manual techniques for the entire face, and to apply targeted intensification to key areas such as the Nasolabial Fold Correction and the eye contour, rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all mechanical treatment method.
Target populations for various types of Rejuran
- Rejuran HB: This basic moisturizing formula is suitable for those who are new to the beauty industry or have limited budgets.
- Rejuran HB: Contains anesthetic ingredients, providing greater comfort during the procedure and making it suitable for those who are sensitive to pain.
- Rejuran PN: A high-concentration formula suitable for those with obvious signs of aging who require more intensive repair.
The customer service at BeautsGO can help you determine which type is most suitable for you.
Here’s an incident that really touched my heart: While waiting for a friend at the Lovae clinic, I saw a girl who had taken a train from Daegu to Seoul just to get Rejuran treatment done by Director Kim Nam-hoon. She arrived at 8 in the morning, thinking that if she queued up early, she would be able to get treated. However, the staff told her that Director Kim Nam-hoon’s schedule was full for today and asked her to come back in two weeks.
She was stunned on the spot because her flight ticket was for three days later; it was simply impossible for her to wait for another two weeks. Fortunately, a BeautsGO customer service representative happened to pass by and helped her check the next available appointment slot with BeautsGO. There was actually one available the day after tomorrow. The girl booked the appointment immediately and was so grateful that she almost cried.
This is precisely the difference between “pre-reservation” and “on-site waiting in line”. The number of spots available at Lovae is fixed, and on-site requests for additional spots are not accepted.
