IV. Real-life case studies
The following are real testimonials from users posted on Naver blogs and REDnote (with their consent to be published anonymously):
Case 1: 32-year-old office worker Xiaomei – Ulthera ultrasound treatment experience
Needs: Loose jawline, visible na
solabial folds
Treatment: 400 Ulthera ultrasound sessions (whol
e face + jawline)
Cost: ⩩2,400,000 (approximately NT$56,0
00)
Date of treatment: November 2024
“I was really scared of pain, but Dr. Kim was very gentle and kept checking on how I was feeling throughout the procedure. Right after the treatment, I could already feel my face getting tighter, and the results became even more noticeable after a month—the jawline became much clearer! My colleagues thought I had lost 5 kilograms, but actually my weight didn’t change at all. What impressed me the most was that there was no recovery period at all. I had the treatment on Monday and went back to work on Tuesday without any
one noticing anything.”
— Xiaomei, Taipei
Case 2: 28-year-old graduate student A Jie – Hyaluronic acid injection experience
Needs: Retruded chin, lack of facial def
inition
Treatment: 2 cc of Juvederm hyaluronic acid (1 cc for the chin + 1 cc f
or the apples of the cheeks)
Cost: ⩩9,800,000 (approximately N
T$18,600)
Date of treatment: January 2026
“I was a bit nervous about my first hyaluronic acid injection, but the doctor patiently explained every step. They applied a numbing cream before the procedure, so I hardly felt any pain. What surprised me the most was how natural the results looked—there was no ‘rubbery’ feel to my skin at all. Now I don’t need to edit my photos to hide my chin, and the contours of my face have also improved significantly. I’ve already recommended it t
o three friends!”
— A Jie, Hong Kong
Case 3: 35-year-old mother Cindy – Comprehensive anti-aging treatment
Needs: Poor skin quality after childbirth, fi
ne lines, enlarged pores
Treatment: 4 cc of Juvelook + 3 sessions of picos
econd laser therapy
Cost: ⩩9,195,000 (approximately NT$45,500)
Dat
e of treatment: Starting in September 2024
“My skin became extremely poor after having a baby—the pores were so large you could almost plant rice in them! Dr. Kim recommended a combined treatment using Juvelook and picosecond laser. After two sessions of Juvelook, my pores visibly narrowed, and my skin tone also improved. The picosecond laser helped reduce the birthmarks on my face significantly; after three sessions, they were 70% lighter. Now I feel confident going out without makeup, and my husband even says I look younger
than before I got pregnant!”
— Cindy, Taichung

VI. Answers to Common Questions
Q1: Can foreigners walk in directly? How far in advance should I make a reservation?
It is highly recommended to reserve 3 to 7 days in advance. Popular clinics in the蚕室 area are often full, especially on weekends. Walk-ins by foreigners may face communication barriers and may not be able to get a appointment due to full capacity. It is advised to use the BeautsGO platform or Naver Maps for reservations.
Q2: Are the fillers/botox products used in Korean dermatology safe?
The fillers (such as Jovian, Teos) and botulinum toxins (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin) used in legitimate dermatology clinics are all certified by the Korean MFDS (Food and Drug Safety Agency). The injections must be administered by licensed dermatologists. Shinebom Dermatology ensures the use of genuine products, so you can trust our services.
Q3: What is the approximate price? Is it cheaper than in Taiwan/Hong Kong?
For example, with the Ulthera ultrasound device, a single full-face treatment in Korea costs around ₩2,400,000 (approximately NT$56,000/HK$13,500), which is about 30–40% cheaper than the same treatment in Taiwan. The Juvelook moisturizing treatment costs around ₩980,000–1,200,000 (approximately NT$19,000–28,000), offering great value for money.
Q4: How long is the recovery period after the procedure? When can I start wearing makeup again?
For most injectable treatments (fillers, Botox), you can wear light makeup the day after the procedure. For laser treatments (picosecond, skin cleansing), it is recommended to avoid makeup for 24 hours after the treatment and to use high SPF sunscreen. For lifting treatments (Ulthera, Thermage), since there are no open wounds, you can resume your normal activities immediately, but it is advised to avoid hot environments such as saunas or hot yoga for one week.
Q5: What if I don’t speak the language? Does the clinic provide Chinese-speaking services?
The official website of Shinebom Dermatology offers a Chinese language option, and there are also Chinese-speaking staff members on site. It is recommended to make appointments through the BeautsGO platform, which provides full Chinese-language support and customer service. The clinic will arrange for a translator to accompany you during your consultation.
