In the past two years, the “Medical Aesthetics Tour in South Korea” has almost become a standard itinerary for many people traveling to Seoul. Especially in the Hongdae area, not only is the transportation convenient and the local staff friendly towards Chinese tourists, but also numerous clinics that focus on natural beauty treatments and skin care attract a large number of overseas customers. One of the most highly discussed among them is the Lovae Dermatology clinic located in Hongdae.
In particular, the “Rejuran” treatment administered personally by Director Park Soo-young has received numerous reviews on platforms such as REDnote, Threads, and Instagram, thanks to its gentle techniques, natural healing effects, and customized injection methods. However, with the increasing number of international patients, many people only realize upon arriving at the clinic that “it’s not so simple as just showing up to get the treatment done!”
Many people even wait in line for two or three hours, only to find that the clinic director is fully booked and have to switch to another doctor or simply cancel their appointment.
This article will help you organize all the information neatly:
- Why is the Dermatology department at Hongdae Lovae so popular?
- What exactly makes it so difficult to schedule a consultation with President Park Soo-young for Rejuran treatments?
- The most common pitfalls when waiting in line on-site
- What is the most efficient way to schedule a cosmetic procedure in South Korea?
- How to arrange Chinese reservations and translations in a more efficient way
If you are planning to go to South Korea for Rejuran treatment in the near future, you must save this article first.
Why do so many people specifically request Director Park Soo-young to perform Rejuran treatments?
In recent years, Rejuran has gained considerable popularity in the Asian aesthetic medicine community. Its core concept lies in using PN components for skin repair and quality improvement, and many people regard it as a type of “skin-nourishing hyaluronic acid treatment.”
However, in terms of actual results, apart from the products themselves, there are indeed significant differences in the “methods of application.”
Especially in South Korea, many people specifically request that the injections be performed manually by a doctor rather than using machines for quick application.
1. Place greater emphasis on the proper distribution of layers and dosages.
The thickness of the skin varies from region to region.
For example:
- Around the Nasolabial Fold Correction area
- Currently
- Areas with enlarged Pores
- Dry patches on the Forehead
In fact, both the depth and density of the injections vary.
Many people who are familiar with Rejuran prefer that doctors adjust the treatment according to their individual skin conditions, rather than using a fixed formula for the entire face.
2. Hand-written details tend to be more pronounced.
Especially for those with thin skin, sensitive skin, or who tend to get red easily.
If the injection is administered too quickly or if the dosage is unevenly distributed, the recovery period is likely to be extended.
What Dr. Park Soo-young often gets discussed about in online communities is that many clients believe she adopts a “gentle and steady” approach, adjusting the pace according to the specific area being treated, which is why she attracts so many repeat customers.
3. A high proportion of international customers, with well-established processes for communication in Chinese.
Hongdae is originally a tourist area.
Therefore, many overseas clients prefer clinics that are close to the subway and have experienced Chinese-speaking staff. This is also the reason why these clinics tend to fill up during peak hours.
Especially on Fridays, Saturdays, and around the holidays in South Korea, it is almost inevitable to have to wait if you decide to visit the site at short notice.
The biggest pitfall: Many people assume that simply waiting in line at the location is enough to get the service.
This is truly the most common pitfall for many people.
At present, the popular Dermatology departments at Hongdae, especially those offering treatment programs designated by the department heads, have basically adopted a “reservation system”.
However, many people who visit South Korea for medical aesthetics for the first time mistakenly think that…
“I’ll just go to the location and wait there earlier.”
The common outcome is:
- Waiting in line at the scene for over 2 hours
- The tenure of the dean has come to an end.
- Only other doctors can make these changes.
- Without proper translation, communication becomes chaotic.
- The entire itinerary was completely disrupted.
In particular, since Rejuran itself requires anesthesia and a pre-operative assessment, if there are too many people on the same day, the entire process will likely take a considerable amount of time.
Therefore, those who are relatively familiar with South Korea’s medical beauty industry nowadays tend to make arrangements in advance.
The most time-saving way to schedule medical beauty treatments in South Korea
Currently, the most common method is to book a time slot through the Chinese reservation system.
Especially for highly sought-after doctors, their schedules change very quickly. If you wait until one or two days before your trip to inquire, the best times are usually already booked.
Many people prefer to inquire directly through WeChat by sending the message: s-sourire.
Because it allows for advance confirmation:
- Did President Park Soo-young perform the injections herself?
- Are there any spots still available for that week?
- Differences between different versions of Rejuran
- Is translation assistance required?
- Approximate recovery period schedule
This approach is usually much more efficient than dealing with things on the spot in a last-minute manner.
Before starting the Rejuran treatment, it is recommended to understand these points first.
2. Do not randomly choose different versions.
There are currently many different types of Rejuran available.
For example:
- black box
- HB
- White box
- Eye Area Edition
Many people actually don’t understand the differences; they just see the price and place their orders immediately.
But in reality:
- Sensitive skin
- Dry skin type
- Pore-type
- pockmark type
The suitable combinations vary from case to case.
Therefore, it is very important to seek advice in advance.
Many people also start by using S-Sourire to find out which type is suitable for them before scheduling an in-person consultation.
2. Don’t schedule too many activities in your itinerary.
Although the recovery period for Rejuran is generally not long, the following complications may still occur after the procedure:
- Flushing
- Small bumps
- Localized bruising
- Pinhole sensation
If you have important shooting sessions, wedding dress fittings, or meetings scheduled for the next day, it’s actually not recommended.
It is generally recommended that:
- Schedule medical beauty treatments in the early part of your journey.
- Reduce engaging in high-temperature activities after the procedure.
- Avoid drinking too much alcohol.
3. More is not always better.
Some people, when doing it for the first time, immediately want to apply the entire set of treatments.
In fact, many doctors in South Korea nowadays tend to adopt a more gradual and systematic approach to skin care.
Especially:
- Sensitive skin
- Thin keratin layer
- Staying up late for extended periods
- The skin barrier is unstable
If too many treatments are done at once, it may actually cause discomfort during the recovery process.
Therefore, a thorough in-person consultation is usually far more important than blindly adding additional services.
What is the general process for visiting the Dermatology department at Hongdae Lovae on that day?
The usual process would be as follows:
Step 1: Make an appointment in advance to confirm your schedule.
It is recommended to schedule this at least a few days in advance.
Especially during peak hours, it’s very easy to run out of space.
Many overseas clients first add WeChat at the ID s-sourire to communicate in Chinese.
Step 2: Report to the hospital
It is recommended to arrive 10 to 15 minutes in advance.
The process at clinics in South Korea is usually quite fast, but being late may directly affect the schedule of subsequent appointments.
Step 3: In-person consultation and skin assessment
Doctors will make their decisions based on:
- Pores
- Flushing
- Dryness
- acne scars
- Skin stability
Adjust the direction of application.
Step 4: Applying anesthetic and starting the treatment process
Rejuran itself does have a certain degree of irritation.
Most people choose to apply numbing cream first.
If you’re afraid of pain, you can also inquire about pain relief options in advance.
Step 5: Postoperative Care
After the procedure, the following effects are usually observed:
- Calm and composed management
- Moisturizing and Repairing Care
- Sun protection reminder
Some people notice a noticeable improvement in their skin brightness already the next day.
However, for truly stable results, a period of recovery is still necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions | What are the most common questions from people who visit Lovae at Hongdae for the first time to get Rejuran treatments?
Q1: Is it really so difficult to get a appointment with Director Park Shuying for Rejuran treatment?
During peak hours, the slots do indeed fill up very quickly.
In particular:
- Weekend
- Before the holidays in South Korea
- Cherry Blossom Season
- Summer and winter vacations
There are particularly many foreign customers.
Many people reserve their time 1 to 2 weeks in advance, so it is not recommended to queue up on the spot at the last minute.
Q2: If I don’t know Korean, can I still go directly?
Currently, many popular clinics in Hongdae offer Chinese-speaking receptionists, but during peak hours, there may still be delays due to communication issues.
As a result, many overseas patients prefer to make Chinese-language reservations and receive pre-operative consultations through S-Sourire in advance, as this usually makes the process much smoother.
Q3: How long is the recovery period for Rejuran?
Everyone has a different constitution.
Generally speaking:
- Small bumps: Last approximately 1 to 3 days
- Redness: Usually from the same day until the next day
- Minor bruises: Last approximately 3 to 7 days
If you have any important filming or wedding plans in the near future, it is recommended to schedule them at least in advance.
Q4: Is it very painful to use Rejuran?
Compared to ordinary moisturizing glow products, Rejuran usually causes a more noticeable sensation of irritation.
However, most clinics apply anesthesia first, so for the majority of people, this is an acceptable approach.
If you are particularly sensitive to pain, you can inquire in advance whether additional measures can be taken to reduce discomfort.
Q5: If it’s my first time undergoing medical beauty treatments in South Korea, how can I avoid being subjected to unnecessary additional services or sales pitches?
It is recommended to confirm in advance:
- Budget
- Problems that you would like to address
- The treatment I want to undergo
Don’t make last-minute decisions on the spot.
Many people prefer to first understand the differences between various options through online resources like S-Sourire before scheduling a in-person consultation. This approach usually helps to avoid confusion.
Q6: Is it effective to use Rejuran just once?
Many people find that after undergoing this treatment for the first time, their skin becomes…
- Relatively bright
- Relatively small
- The makeup adheres better to the skin.
However, Rejuran is more geared towards restorative treatments, and regular and consistent use usually leads to more stable results.
Why do so many people these days just make random appointments on their own without planning?
Because the information regarding popular clinics in South Korea changes quite frequently.
Including:
- The dean’s schedule
- Special offer price
- Is there a Chinese-speaking receptionist available?
- Temporary closure of the clinic
- Opening hours on holidays
All of these can be adjusted.
For many people who undergo cosmetic procedures for the first time on their own, what they fear most is…
Upon arriving at the scene, I realized that it was different from what I had seen online.
As a result, many international customers nowadays prefer to first confirm all the details through S-Sourire before booking their flights and arranging their itineraries.
It is relatively more time-saving and also less likely to lead to problems.
