To be honest, I hesitated for a long time before going—was the reputation of Seoul AMRED Clinic really worth flying all the way there? It’s been 90 days since I completed the entire treatment, and I’m amazed at the state of my skin. This review is my genuine, self-paid experience, without any advertising.

🔬 Real-life experience with Seoul AMRED Clinic: A detailed record from consultation to post-treatment
I went in mid-March and booked a personal consultation with Director Choi Doo-ryong one week in advance through WeChat’s s-sourire service. Upon arrival, a Chinese-speaking staff member immediately greeted me, and the whole process—filling out forms, taking photos, and the consultation itself—took no more than 10 minutes.
📋 The Consultation Process
Dr. Choi Doo-ryong’s approach to the consultation left a deep impression on me. He isn’t the kind of doctor who just writes a prescription after a quick look; instead, he presses different areas of your face with his fingers to assess the elasticity of your skin and the thickness of your fat, then marks “energy distribution points” on a diagram. He explained to me that everyone’s facial structure is different, so the treatment plan must be customized rather than following a one-size-fits-all template.
The consultation lasted about 20 minutes. Dr. Choi Doo-ryong explained in detail the treatment plan he recommended, the expected results, and any potential risks. There was no pressure to buy additional services at all. When I asked if I should consider another treatment, he said, “That’s not necessary for your current situation.”
💉 Treatment Details
This time, I had a full-face treatment using ultrasound and Juvelook injections. The ultrasound procedure took about 40 minutes, and Dr. Choi Doo-ryong performed it himself. Before treating each area, he would warn me, “This part might feel a bit sore,” which helped me prepare. The most noticeable sensation was around my jawline—the area felt quite sore and swollen, but it was completely tolerable.
The Juvelook injections were done manually. Dr. Choi used a 15-degree angle when inserting the needles, saying this ensured the medication was distributed more evenly throughout the dermis and prevented any lumps from forming. During the injections, there was almost no pain; only a slight stinging sensation.
📅 Post-Treatment Progress Timeline
- Day 1: Slight redness and swelling, which improved significantly after applying the soothing mask provided by the clinic.
- Day 3: The redness and swelling had subsided, and my skin felt firmer to the touch.
- Day 7: My jawline was noticeably more defined, and I no longer needed to worry about finding the right angle when taking photos.
- Day 30: The effects of collagen production become visible; the skin becomes very elastic.
- Day 90: The results are stable. Friends all say my face looks smaller, but they can’t tell where the procedure was done—this is the ultimate in natural-looking results.
What touched me the most was the follow-up care after the procedure. On day 7, the Chinese language manager took the initiative to check on my recovery via WeChat; another follow-up was done on day 30. Such a level of service is really uncommon at Korean clinics.
