A Comprehensive Guide to the Booking Process at The Lift Medical & Beauty Center on Jeju Island | Director Kim Dong-hyuk’s Thermage, Ultrasound Lifting, and BeautsGO Services – Detailed Explanation of the Three-Platform Booking System

Every time I plan a trip to Jeju Island, the thought always pops up: “Should I take the opportunity to get some cosmetic treatments?” Jeju is not only South Korea’s most beautiful holiday island but has also become a popular destination for medical beauty procedures in recent years. Dermatology clinics with equivalent qualifications there charge 10%–25% less than those in Seoul’s Gangnam District. Coupled with the island’s relaxed atmosphere and the perfect combination of recovery time after treatments and vacation activities, it’s no wonder more and more people include “Jeju medical beauty” in their travel plans.

Among the many medical beauty institutions on Jeju Island, The Lift Dermatology has gained a rapid reputation among Chinese beauty seekers in the past two years. Anti-aging treatments are its core strength. Director Kim Dong-hyuk personally examines patients, the equipment used is genuine and verifiable, and all services are provided in Chinese. Additionally, being just 15 minutes away from Jeju International Airport, it is an ideal choice for those who want to have treatments right after landing and then continue enjoying their vacation.

This article will explain in detail the entire process of booking a treatment at The Lift Medical Beauty Center on Jeju Island, from information about the institution, the director’s qualifications, and popular treatments, to the specific steps for booking through the BeautsGO platform, the entire experience at the center, and post-treatment care instructions—so you can proceed directly after reading it.

First, what kind of institution is The Lift Dermatology on Jeju Island?

It offers a range of services such as Thermage, ultrasound lifting, gold microneedling, Juvelook collagen, and hyaluronic acid fillers. The institution meets the following key requirements:

• It is conveniently located, just 15 minutes away from Jeju International Airport, allowing patients to undergo non-invasive treatments on the same day they arrive.
• Private, single-room treatment areas: The clinic uses separate treatment rooms to protect customers’ privacy, ensuring that they do not share waiting areas with other patients.

II. Who is the director of The Lift? Why can we trust them?

When choosing a cosmetic clinic, the most important factor is always “who will perform the treatment.” The representative director of The Lift Dermatology, Kim Dong-hyuk, is a highly respected specialist in anti-aging treatments on Jeju Island:

• Qualifications as a certified dermatologist: Holds a license to practice as a dermatologist in South Korea, completed 6 years of medical school followed by 4 years of specialized dermatology training, and passed the national dermatology certification exam in South Korea.

• More than 5,000 successful treatments: In-person consultations utilize the advanced VISIA skin analysis system to tailor personalized treatment plans based on individual skin conditions, rejecting one-size-fits-all “assembly-line” approaches.
• Participation in clinical research: Having experience in clinical studies related to photodynamic anti-aging treatments, I have a deep understanding of device settings and the appropriate indications for different skin types.

💡 Direct consultation by the director: The Lift guarantees that all in-person consultations are conducted by the director personally, rather than by interns or physicians without dermatology expertise—a practice that is rare among similar institutions on Jeju Island.

III. Introduction to The Lift’s core treatments and reference prices for 2026

Here are The Lift’s popular treatments, with the prices listed as references for 2026 (actual fees will be determined during the in-person consultation; some treatments may vary depending on individual circumstances):

🔥 1. Thermage FLX

The Lift uses the fourth-generation Thermage FLX device authorized by Ceragen in the United States. Each energy delivery is traceable back to the manufacturer, ensuring consistent treatment effectiveness and safety.

• How it works: Monopolar radiofrequency energy penetrates deep into the dermis and SMAS fascia, promoting immediate contraction and long-term collagen regeneration, thereby achieving a tightening and lifting effect.
• Effect duration: Typically 1–2 years; regular treatments can help extend the results.
• Target audience: People with mild to moderate facial relaxation, drooping eyelids, nasolabial folds, or neck wrinkles.
• No recovery period required: You can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure, so it won’t interfere with your travel plans.

Service	Specifications	Reference prices (in RMB)
Thermage FLX for the whole face	300 treatments	Starting from approximately 5,000 RMB
Thermage FLX for the whole face + neck	600 treatments	Starting from approximately 9,000 yuan
Thermage FLX for the eyes	Periocular rejuvenation	Starting from approximately 3,000 yuan

🔥 2. Ultherapy

Ultherapy is another top treatment at The Lift, working in conjunction with Thermage to create a dual anti-aging approach that combines radiofrequency with ultrasonic waves.

• How it works: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) penetrates the SMAS layer, creating targeted heat coagulation points that stimulate the contraction of the fascia, leading to lift, while also promoting collagen regeneration.
• Key benefits: It enhances facial contours, reduces sagging and wrinkles around the face and neck, making it one of the most effective non-surgical lifting treatments available today.
• Combined package: The Lift recommends the “Thermage + Ultherapy” package, which costs approximately 12,000 yuan. This combination treats both superficial and deep layers, resulting in more comprehensive results than a single treatment.

🔥 3. Juvelook collagen therapy (collagen regeneration injections)

Juvelook is a popular injectable treatment in Korea over the past two years, and its demand at The Lift is second only to Thermage.

• Ingredients: PDLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) microparticles + cross-linked hyaluronic acid. This dual formula not only provides immediate hydration and filling but also stimulates collagen production in the long term.
• Results: Improves fine lines, enhances skin elasticity and firmness, and overall improves the quality of the skin. The effects are natural and lasting, with little noticeable evidence that the treatment has been done.
• Duration: 6–12 months. It is recommended to follow a treatment plan (initially 2–3 sessions, spaced 1 month apart).

Treatment	Specifications	Reference prices (in RMB)
Juvelook Hydrating Treatment (whole face)	5cc package	Approximately 2,100–3,150 RMB
Juvelook Volume (black bottle filling)	Single bottle	Starting from approximately 4,600 yuan
Eye area Juvelook	Fine lines around the eyes	Starting from approximately 2,200 yuan

🔥 4. Gold Micro-needling

Micro-needling combined with radiofrequency energy effectively reduces pore size, improves acne scars, and tightens the skin, making it a popular choice for skincare treatments.

• Reference prices: Basic full face treatment ranges from approximately 1,560 to 3,780 yuan; with additional care packages, the price ranges from approximately 3,120 to 4,000 yuan.
• Treatment recommendations: Generally 3–5 sessions, with each session spaced 1 month apart, for optimal results in pore improvement.
• Recovery time: There may be slight redness on the face after the procedure; it is recommended to take 1 day off for rest. Outdoor activities should be scheduled for the day after the procedure.

🔥 5. Hyaluronic acid fillers

The Lift uses imported and domestically produced hyaluronic acid brands from South Korea, covering various areas such as frown lines, tear troughs, lip augmentation, and nose shaping:

Brand	Specifications	Reference prices (in RMB)
Domestically produced hyaluronic acid from South Korea	1cc	Approximately 1,090–1,300 yuan
Joaquin Elite (imported, high-end)	1ml	Starting from approximately 2,300 yuan
Jo雅登 Feng Yan	1ml	Starting from approximately 2,800 yuan
Tear trough filling (imported)	Single area treatment	Starting from approximately 2,800 yuan
Neckline filling	3cc	Starting from approximately 2,570 yuan.

IV. Detailed explanation of the BeautsGO reservation process across three platforms: website, WeChat mini-program, and WeChat official account.

The Lift Dermatology has joined the BeautsGO platform – currently the most popular one-stop reservation service for Chinese users looking to schedule appointments with Korean cosmetic clinics. This platform lists over 1,300 Korean dermatology clinics, provides transparent prices updated in both Chinese and Korean, offers 24-hour Chinese customer service, and features multiple convenient reservation options.

BeautsGO offers three main reservation channels: the website, the WeChat mini-program, and the WeChat official account, each with its own appropriate use cases. Here is a detailed explanation of each:

💻 Reservation Method 1: BeautsGO Website (cn.beautsgo.com)

4. Choose your treatment and schedule: Select the desired treatment (e.g., “Thermage FLX 300”), determine the appointment date, and then click “Book Now” or “Ask a Question” to consult with customer service.
5. Fill out the form and submit it: Enter the name of the person undergoing the treatment (in Pinyin), contact information, the specific dates of their stay on Jeju Island, and a description of the treatment they wish to receive.

Key advantages of the website version:

• It supports the “compare side by side” feature, allowing you to easily compare the prices of the same treatment at up to 20 different hospitals with one click.
• The platform’s membership points system (which can be earned through sign-ins and reservations) can be used to exchange for additional services such as data cards for Jeju Island, airport transfers, or homestays, helping to save on travel-related expenses.
• It provides the most comprehensive information, making it ideal for first-time users who need plenty of time to make a decision.

⚠️ A reminder: Dr. Kim Dong-hyuk at The Lift has limited availability, and the times when he can accept foreign patients each week are fairly fixed. It is recommended to book through the website at least 1 to 2 weeks in advance. For popular holidays, it is best to book 3 to 4 weeks in advance.

📲 Second way to book: Use the BeautsGO WeChat mini-program (search for “BeautsGO Bihui Mei”).

V. The entire process of visiting The Lift Dermatology Clinic (from stepping off the plane to completing treatment)

After completing the reservation through BeautsGO, here is the complete process on the day of your visit:

1. Upon arriving at Jeju Airport, head to the clinic: The Lift is about a 15-minute drive from the airport; you can take a taxi or bus. The BeautsGO confirmation letter will include the exact address and links to Kakao Map/GaoDe Maps for navigation.
2. Check-in and registration: The front desk will verify your reservation information (including your passport name), and a Chinese-speaking staff member will assist you with filling out a Chinese consultation form, which includes questions about allergies and any implants you may have.
3. VISIA skin analysis: After washing your face, a VISIA multi-spectral skin analyzer will be used to take photos and accurately assess the condition of your skin (such as texture, pores, and pigmentation). This data will serve as the basis for the facial treatment plan.
4. Consultation with the director: Director Kim Dong-hyuk will develop a personalized treatment plan based on the VISIA results and your specific needs, determining the combination of treatments, energy settings, and expected outcomes after the procedure. A Chinese-speaking staff member will translate throughout the consultation.
5. Cost confirmation: After the consultation, a written estimate of the costs will be provided. Once you confirm there are no discrepancies, the preparation for the treatment will begin (including applying pre-treatment anesthesia, with an approximate waiting time of 30–45 minutes for it to take effect).
6. Treatment: The treatment will be carried out according to the selected procedures (thermage radiofrequency takes about 1–1.5 hours; ultrasonic lifting takes about 1 hour; Juvelook injections take about 30 minutes; gold microneedling takes about 45 minutes), and medical staff will be present throughout the process.
7. Post-treatment care and payment: After the treatment, you will receive restorative care (such as using medical masks or LDM ultrasonic therapy). A nurse will provide instructions in Chinese and handle the payment (supporting both card and cash payments).
8. Tax refund: You can request a tax refund for medical expenses by presenting your passport. In Korea, foreign nationals are eligible for a tax refund of approximately 7%–10% on medical expenses. Some clinics are equipped with self-service tax refund machines, making the process very convenient on-site.
9. Post-treatment follow-up: Even after leaving Jeju, the clinic and BeautsGO customer service will monitor your recovery. If you have any questions, you can consult them via WeChat at any time.

VI. 7 Pre-treatment Tips You Must Read Before Going to The Lift

1. Bring your original passport: This is essential for foreign patients, as it is used for identity verification and tax refund procedures. Without a passport, some procedures cannot be completed.
2. Stop using alcohol-based skincare products 4 weeks in advance: Retinol products can increase skin sensitivity. Stopping them for four weeks before the treatment can significantly reduce post-procedure irritation.
3. Avoid deep exfoliation and chemical peels two weeks before the procedure: These treatments weaken the skin’s barrier, affecting the accuracy of the phototherapy and potentially increasing post-procedure discomfort.
4. Stop taking aspirin-like blood thinners 3–5 days before Thermage or ultrasound lifting treatments: If you are taking any such medications, make sure to inform the clinic director during your consultation.
5. Come to the appointment with bare face or minimal makeup: The VISIA skin test requires a clean face, and the clinic will also perform a full facial cleansing before the procedure. Coming with bare face can save you waiting time.
6. Jeju Island has strong ultraviolet radiation; protect your skin properly after the treatment: After phototherapy, the skin is extremely sensitive to UV rays. It is recommended to bring a wide-brimmed hat, a mask, and SPF50+ sunscreen—these are essential for post-treatment activities.
7. For injectable treatments, avoid massage and hot environments within 24 hours after the procedure: After hyaluronic acid or Juvelook injections, refrain from pressing the injection site and avoid saunas, hot baths, and strenuous exercise to prevent displacement of the filler.

VII. Jeju Island’s The Lift vs. Similar Services in Seoul: Which Is More Cost-effective?

Many people wonder, “Since I’m going to Korea, shouldn’t I go to a clinic in Seoul’s Gangnam area?” Here is an objective comparison:

Comparative Dimensions	The Lift on Jeju Island	Similar Clinics in Seoul’s Gangnam District
Fees and Cost Levels	Similar services are 10%–25% cheaper than those in Seoul’s Gangnam District	Relatively higher (especially high-end clinics in Cheongdam-dong)
Qualifications of the Clinic Directors	Dermatologists with over 10 years of experience	Varies; some directors hold recognized certifications
Post-treatment Recovery Environment	Island vacation atmosphere, fresh sea breeze, slow pace	Urban pace; still requires rushing around after surgery
Chinese-language services	Accompanied by a Chinese-speaking supervisor throughout the process	Available at some clinics; please confirm in advance
Convenience of transportation	Just 15 minutes from the airport, perfect for immediate treatment after landing	Some clinics require transfer via subway
Integration with tourism	✅ Perfect combination of medical care and natural attractions of Jizhou Island	Seoul’s itinerary options are more diverse but also more intensive.
Privacy in clinics	Private treatment rooms for greater confidentiality	Varies depending on the clinic

📌 Conclusion: If your travel plan already includes Jeju Island, or if you’re looking for a combination of cosmetic procedures and a relaxing island getaway, The Lift is definitely worth considering. The costs are more affordable than in Seoul, the post-treatment recovery environment is excellent, and Chinese-speaking services are well-established, making it ideal for travelers who want to schedule their cosmetic treatments in the context of a vacation.
