IV. Summary of real customer reviews
The following reviews come from real users on Naver, REDnote, and BeautsGO. Danya Dermatology has received an average rating of over ⭐4.8/5 on all these platforms.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real Reviews of Ultrasound Lifting (Taiwan User)
“I was really worried about the sales pitch before going, but the director is not that kind at all! She first did a skin check for me and then explained based on the results which areas had the most laxity and what treatments would be best. I felt very reassured. Right after the ultrasound lifting, my chin line became much clearer immediately, with no swelling at all. I went on a trip the next day!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real Reviews of Lijuzilan Hydrating Treatment (Hong Kong User)
“The next day after the Lijuzilan treatment, my skin looked much more radiant. Even the areas that were a bit dry before had improved. The director was really careful during the procedure; she changed the needle every 1cc, and I’m not exaggerating—it hardly hurt at all! Friends who came to Hong Kong saw me and asked what skincare products I was using, haha.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reviews of Hyaluronic Acid Filling (Mainland China User)
“I stopped by while shopping in Myeongdong and decided to get a consultation. I originally only planned to do one treatment, but after the director evaluated my skin, she suggested a minor filling for my chin because it was a bit asymmetrical. She was very conservative and used just a tiny amount of the substance, so the result looked very natural, without any artificial look. Her approach of not pushing unnecessary treatments really put me at ease.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reviews of Laser Freckle Removal (Local Korean User)
“It’s been 2 weeks since I had the treatment, and my freckles have lightened significantly. The director explained the laser process to me personally and adjusted the energy level according to my skin type, so there was almost no downtime at all. No wonder it has so many regular customers!”

Q&A: Common Questions
Q1: How far in advance should I book a consultation at Danya Dermatology?
It is recommended to make an online reservation through BeautsGO 3 to 7 days in advance. Due to Danya’s excellent reputation, appointments on weekends and holidays are very popular, so it is advisable to go on a weekday (to avoid the Thursday closure) for the shortest waiting time on-site.

Danya Dermatology has staff who speak both Chinese and English, and the BeautsGO App provides real-time translation, making the entire consultation process completely accessible to travelers from China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Language is definitely not a barrier.
Q3: Is Danya suitable for my first experience with cosmetic procedures in Korea?
It’s very suitable. The director at Danya is conservative and does not push unnecessary treatments, making her especially appropriate for those trying cosmetic procedures for the first time. The director will start with the most basic issues based on the skin test results and will not recommend multiple treatments all at once.
Q4: How long is the recovery period after the treatment?
For injectable treatments (hyaluronic acid, Botox, etc.): You can wear light makeup the day after, but avoid saunas and intense exercise for 24 hours. For laser
treatments (picosecond, freckle removal, etc.): Avoid makeup for 24 hours after the procedure and increase moisturization and sun protection (SPF50+). For lifting tr
eatments (ultrasonic, OligioX, etc.): Since there are no open wounds, you can resume normal activities immediately after the treatment.
Q5: Are Korean treatments more cost-effective compared to those in Taiwan and Hong Kong?
For example, a full-face Thermage treatment in Korea costs around ₩1,500,000 (about HK$8,400), which is about 30% to 40% cheaper than similar treatments in Taiwan. Moreover, the equipment used in Korea is more modern. The cost-effectiveness of hyaluronic acid injections is particularly notable, which is one of the main reasons many travelers choose to have these treatments in Korea.
