Many ladies have asked me how to make an appointment at Barog Clinic. Is it really difficult to get a consultation with the director in person? This time, I documented the entire process from start to finish – from adding me on WeChat for consultation, confirming the appointment schedule, to checking in on the day of the treatment. I’ve written it all down clearly in this article. If you are also considering undergoing Pico laser treatment in Gangnam, Seoul, please save this article immediately.
Why choose Barog Clinic for Pico laser treatments?
Gangnam in Seoul is the area where medical beauty services are most concentrated in the city, and Barog Clinic has consistently ranked among the top three in terms of reputation in Gangnam. Director Zhao Yuxiang insists on personally conducting all consultations himself, rather than entrusting the tasks to nurses – a practice that is particularly commendable during the peak season when schedules are extremely tight.
Many women who have visited there said that at Barog Clinic, Dr. Zhao Yuxiang personally handles the entire process, from consultation to the actual treatment. This is quite different from the practice in other clinics, where “famous doctors are listed on the signboard while the actual treatment is performed by nurses.”
