Hongdae students keep it secret! Price list for lovae Dermatology in Hongdae: LDM treatment costs 50,000 Korean won, "black porcelain doll" treatment costs 90,000 Korean won, and "glow" treatment costs only 60,000 Korean won – a great deal indeed!

In March, I finally made a trip to lovae Dermatology. This article is a complete record of my experience there. It is neither an official press release nor a brand collaboration piece; it simply reflects the true experiences of an ordinary Taiwanese girl. If you are also considering undergoing LDM Hyaluronic Acid Lifting treatment at Hongdae in Seoul, this article should help you save at least three days of research time. Many people have privately asked me about lovae Dermatology, so it took me a week to gather all the information before making my decision. To sum up: it is worth going, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind.

🔬 Comprehensive review of lovae Dermatology: from the moment of entry to two weeks after the procedure

📍 Why was lovae Dermatology chosen in the end?

In the dermatology field of Hongdae, Seoul, the density of clinics ranks among the top three in all of Asia; in the same building, there may be four or five clinics. Initially, I considered around 7 or 8 options, but ultimately, I chose lovae Dermatology for a very simple reason: Director Choi Eun-jeong has a clear track record of her work, does not engage in mass treatment, and charges reasonable fees without arbitrary price increases.

Lovae Dermatology has been operating in Hongdae, Seoul for 8 years. Director Choi Eun-jeong comes from a university-affiliated hospital and has specialized in LDM Droplet Lifting for over 12 years. Such expertise places her among the top professionals in South Korea’s dermatology field – many clinic directors in fact come from other medical specialties, and few have truly dedicated themselves to a single area for such a long time. I checked Director Choi Eun-jeong’s research publications on Naver, and indeed, she is not the kind of person who merely holds a title without actually doing any work.

Another positive aspect is that the Chinese-speaking manager at lovae Dermatology responds very quickly. During my first consultation, I asked more than a dozen questions via WeChat, and they patiently answered each one of them without any pressure to place an order immediately. This is really important for overseas customers – dealing with language barriers is already stressful enough, and if the service provider keeps pushing sales, it can significantly damage the overall experience.

🏥 Actual environmental conditions: A sense of luxury versus an industrial atmosphere

The first impression upon entering lovae Dermatology is “peace and tranquility” – not the kind of desolate silence, but rather a sense of order and professionalism. The waiting area can accommodate around 8 to 10 people, but on the afternoon I visited, there were only 5 customers waiting. At the reception, a Chinese-speaking manager confirmed my appointment and understood my needs in simple Chinese, before offering me a cup of warm water.

The consultation room is equipped with all the necessary facilities: a VISIA skin analysis device, high-definition cameras, and a large-screen monitor for comparison. Director Choi Eun-jeong first had me undergo a VISIA examination, and then explained my skin condition item by item – rather than asking me right away, “What treatment would you like to have?” This order is very important because it shows that the doctor is starting from your needs, rather than from the treatments he wants to recommend.

The hygiene standards in the corridors and treatment rooms also reassured me: disposable sheets were used, doctors washed and disinfected their hands before each procedure, and the equipment used was opened in front of my eyes. I paid special attention to the LDM water-drop Lifting device – Director Choi Eun-jeong even took the time to show me the brand label and purchase date of the machine, something that many clinics do not bother to do. In South Korea, there are actually quite a number of clinics that rent used equipment, and such details can directly affect the effectiveness and safety of the treatments.

💬 In-person consultation experience: The suggestions given by the hospital director were completely unexpected.

After reading my report, Director Choi Eun-jeong’s first reaction was: “You don’t need to do so much.”

“Your basic condition is quite good, so LDM Droplet Lifting is a reasonable choice for you. However, I don’t recommend performing multiple procedures at once. First, undergo the LDM Droplet Lifting procedure, and come back for a follow-up visit in three weeks to assess the results before deciding on your next step.”

This statement completely strengthened my trust in lovae Dermatology. Previously, when I consulted other clinics, they almost always suggested things like “you could try hyaluronic acid treatment again” or “adding botulinum toxin would give better results” – it was purely a sales approach. However, lovae Dermatology did the exact opposite; Director Choi Eun-jeong even went so far as to suggest that I cancel two treatments I had planned to undergo, saying, “You don’t need them right now; you can consider them later if you decide you do.”

The final decision was to opt for only the LDM droplet Lifting procedure, which cost 50,000 Korean won (approximately NT$1,350 or HK$320). There were no hidden fees or additional sales pitches; the post-operative care package and repair cream were both included in the price.

🛏️ Actual experience during the treatment: Is it painful? How long does it take to complete?

The numbing effect lasted for 25 minutes, and the anesthetic worked very effectively – only the edges of the face felt any sensation. The entire procedure took approximately 35 minutes, and Director Choi Eun-jeong was present throughout the whole process. Before treating each area, she would always remind the patient, “This part will feel a bit hot; please endure it for a moment.”

I would rate the pain level at 2.5 out of 10 – it was more of a burning sensation than a stinging pain. During the procedure, I could feel that the doctor’s technique was very steady, with no sudden accelerations or decelerations; the rhythm was consistently maintained. On two occasions, I raised my hand to indicate that I needed a pause, and Director Choi Eun-jeong immediately stopped and waited until I was ready to continue. Such respect for the patient’s comfort is truly commendable.

After the procedure, the nurse applied a calming facial mask to me. About 15 minutes later, she removed it, and when I looked in the mirror, I noticed only slight redness—much milder than I had expected. Before leaving, the Chinese-speaking supervisor gave me a card with post-treatment instructions and her WeChat contact information, saying I could ask her any questions at any time if there were any issues.

📅 Post-treatment follow-up: A detailed record from day 1 to day 14

• Day 1: Slight redness, and the area felt slightly warm to the touch. The clinic provided a post-treatment care kit, instructing me not to get the area wet, not to wear makeup, and not to use any skincare products containing acids in the first three days. At night, I accidentally pressed on my side face while sleeping, causing a slight stinging sensation, but it wasn’t serious.
• Day 3: The redness had completely subsided, and the skin began to become smoother. The previously thick hairs had noticeably become smaller, and I was quite surprised by this speed – usually, it took about a week to see any changes after undergoing other treatments.
• Day 7: The day when the effects were most noticeable. A colleague asked me if I had changed my foundation – but in fact, I hadn’t applied any makeup at all. The firmness and glow of my skin had improved significantly, especially the contours of my jawline, which became much clearer than before.
• Day 14: The results remained stable, with no rebound at all. The person in charge of the Chinese-speaking group kept tracking my recovery progress on WeChat and reminded me of the optimal interval between treatments if I decided to have a second session. Overall, I think the results achieved for the price of 50,000 Korean won are well worth it.

For example, lovae Dermatology offers packages that combine LDM Lifting with post-treatment care, which are approximately 10% cheaper than purchasing these services separately. Additionally, the exchange rate is also an important factor – recently, the Korean won has been favorable compared to the Taiwanese dollar and Hong Kong dollar. It is recommended to check the current exchange rate before traveling.
