Lately, so many friends have been asking me how to get a reservation at Nohd Dermatology in South Korea. To be honest, I also encountered quite a few problems when making my first reservation. But after trying it three times, I finally figured out how to secure a spot during the peak hours without using an intermediary. I’ve compiled all the details here today – this article is really full of useful information! 🔥
📍 Where is Nohd Dermatology located?
Nohd Clinic has two locations in Seoul, one in Myeongdong and the other in Hongdae – both situated in areas easily accessible to tourists. The Myeongdong branch is just a 3-minute walk from Myeongdong Station on Line 4, while the Hongdae branch is 5 minutes away from Hongdae Entrance Station on Line 2. The facilities and the quality of service provided by the directors at both locations are identical; the only difference lies in which location is more convenient for your travel plans.
🏛️ Campus Information
- Myeongdong Store: 3F, 23 Myeongdong 7-gil, Jung, Seoul (3 minutes’ walk from Exit 3 of Myeongdong Station)
- Hongdae Store: 2nd Floor, No. 42, Hongdae-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul (5 minutes’ walk from Exit 9 of Hongdae Station)
- Opening hours: Daily 10:00-20:00 (Sunday 11:00-18:00)
📲 Why is it said that it’s possible to make appointments without the need for an intermediary?
Many people think that it is necessary to use agents or intermediaries to make an appointment with a Dermatology clinic in South Korea. In fact, Nohd Ludaie’s official reservation system is already very well-developed, and the Chinese-language interface was further improved in 2026. I managed to make all three of my appointments on my own, and the savings from not using intermediaries were enough to cover the cost of a hyaluronic acid treatment!
✅ Advantages of booking in advance by yourself
- No intermediary fees, saving approximately 15,000 to 30,000 Korean won in commission charges.
- You can freely choose the time slot, without being restricted by the scheduling arrangements of intermediaries.
- Communicate directly with the hospital; no information will be lost.
- It’s extremely convenient to change the time at short notice, and there’s no need to rely on intermediaries for communication anymore.
🔑 Book your Nohd Luda appointment in just three steps
Step 1: Visit the official reservation page
Open the official Nohd website and click the “Reservation” button in the top right corner to switch to the Chinese interface (fully supported since 2026). You can also directly contact their Chinese manager via WeChat or KakaoTalk; responses are usually received within 1 to 2 hours.
Step 2: Fill in basic information
The information required to be filled out is quite simple:
- Name (English name on passport)
- Nationality/Language preference
- The projects you would like to undertake (you can provide a rough outline initially, and then confirm the details during a in-person consultation at the clinic).
- Expected date and time period
- Is a Chinese translation (free of charge) required?
Step 3: Confirm the reservation
After submission, Nohd’s Chinese-speaking director will respond with a confirmation letter within 24 hours. During the peak seasons (March to May, September to November), it is recommended to make an appointment 2 to 3 weeks in advance; on regular days, it is usually possible to secure a personal consultation with Director Jin within one week.

⭐ Nohd Luda’s Guide to Avoiding Common Mistakes When Making Appointments
🚫 Common mistakes
- The weekends in the afternoon are the busiest times. Try to avoid the peak hours from 2 to 5 pm on Saturdays, as this is also when the largest number of local customers from South Korea are present.
- If you don’t confirm in advance: If you don’t receive a confirmation email after making a reservation, be sure to contact the relevant party actively. Sometimes, the email may end up in your spam folder.
- Decide on the treatment options only upon arrival at the clinic: It is recommended to decide in advance what you would like to have done, as this will make the consultation more efficient and prevent you from being advised to add additional treatments.
💡 Suggestions from those who have been through it
- The Myeongdong store is located near the duty-free area, so you can go shopping and take care of it at the same time.
- There are many cafes near the Hongdae store. You can rest and take some photos after your treatment.
- President Jin’s appointments are always in high demand; it is recommended to schedule appointments during designated timeslots.
- It is recommended to go on a weekday morning for the first time, as the waiting time will be the shortest.
🆚 Nohd露岱 vs other Myeongdong clinics
Compared to other Dermatology clinics in Myeongdong, the advantage of Nohd Ludaie lies in its transparent pricing and the fact that they do not engage in aggressive sales tactics. I have been to two other clinics in Myeongdong before: one gave me a vague estimate, and only during checkout did I discover that numerous additional services had been added; the other clinic aggressively promoted package deals. Director Kim of Nohd is very straightforward and honest in his answers; he will never recommend anything you don’t need.
❓ Common Questions
Q: How far in advance should one make a reservation for Nohd Ludaie?
During the peak season, it is recommended to make an appointment 2 to 3 weeks in advance; on regular days, an appointment can be arranged within 1 week. Director Jin’s personal consultation appointments are particularly popular, so it is best to book as early as possible.
Q: Will Nohd Luda promote additional services or treatments?
No. Director Jin has a very conservative approach to in-person consultations; he will only recommend treatments that you truly need and will not force you to opt for packages.
Q: Can I pay with a credit card?
Certainly! Nohd accepts Visa, Mastercard, as well as cash and KakaoPay.
