⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real Reviews of Ultrasound Lifting (Taiwan User)
“I was really worried about the sales pitch before going, but the director was completely different! She first did a skin check for me and then explained based on the results which areas needed improvement the most. After the ultrasound lifting treatment, my chin line became much clearer immediately without any swelling. I went on a trip the very next day!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real Reviews of Lijulan Hydrating Treatment (Hong Kong User)
“The day after the Lijulan treatment, my skin looked much more radiant. Even the areas that were slightly dry had improved. The director was very careful during the procedure—she changed the needle every 1 cc, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it barely hurt at all! Friends back in Hong Kong kept asking what skincare products I was using after seeing the results!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reviews of Hyaluronic Acid Filling (Mainland China User)
“I stopped by while shopping in Myeongdong and decided to get a consultation. Initially, I only planned to do one treatment, but after the evaluation, the director noticed that my chin was a bit asymmetrical and recommended a small amount of filling. She was very cautious and used just the right dose, so the result looked natural without any artificial look. Her approach without excessive sales pressure 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 faded significantly. The director personally explained the laser process and adjusted the energy level according to my skin type, so there was almost no downtime at all. No wonder it has so many loyal customers!”

It is recommended to book online through BeautsGO 3 to 7 days in advance. Due to Danya’s excellent reputation, appointments are very popular on weekends and holidays. It’s best to go on a weekday (to avoid the Thursday closure) to minimize waiting time at the clinic.

DAN-A Dermatology has staff who speak both Chinese and English, and with the real-time translation feature of the BeautsGO App, the entire consultation process is completely user-friendly for travelers from China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan—language is absolutely no barrier.
Q3: Is DAN-A suitable for my first experience with cosmetic treatments in Korea?
It’s very suitable. The director of DAN-A has a conservative approach and doesn’t push overly aggressive treatments, making it ideal 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 won’t 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 treatments (ultrasonic, OligioX, etc.): Since there are no open wounds, you can resume normal activities immediately.
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 30–40% 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 tourists choose to have these treatments in Korea.
