墨白 Planning to go to South Korea for dermatology treatment but not sure where to start making an appointment with Luel Dermatology? This article outlines three common ways to schedule an appointment, as well as the process of visiting the clinic and some frequently asked questions, helping you to handle everything in one go and avoid the hassle of repeated communications.
Which hospital offers Dermatology services?
Luel Dermatology is a dermatology clinic in Seoul, South Korea, that has attracted considerable attention from Chinese tourists in recent years. Specializing in laser cosmetic treatments, anti-aging therapies, and acne management, the clinic holds legitimate medical licenses from South Korea. The team of directors regularly participates in international academic exchanges and provides Chinese translation services for customers in need, thereby eliminating language barriers.
The clinic focuses on personalized treatment plans. Before the initial consultation, patients undergo an 8-dimensional analysis using the Visia skin testing device. Based on these results, the doctor will recommend 2 to 3 different treatment options, rather than immediately promoting a fixed package.
Three reservation methods – choose according to your needs.
Reservation through WeChat official accounts
Search for the official WeChat public account “luel Dermatology” or scan the QR code on the promotional page to access the “Online Appointment” option in the bottom menu. Enter your name (which must match the information on your passport), contact details, the desired appointment time, and the type of skin issue you are experiencing. After submitting the information, the system will automatically match you with a doctor and send you a confirmation message.
Chinese customer service usually responds within 10 minutes, and any temporary adjustments to the schedule can be made by updating the information on the official WeChat account 6 hours in advance – which is much more convenient than making phone calls. New followers can also receive a discount voucher for relevant services, so this is definitely worth noting.
Reservation via the official website
At the top of the official website’s homepage, there is a floating button labeled “Make an Appointment,” which allows for switching between Chinese, English, and Korean. After entering your passport number, permanent residence address, and emergency contact information, you can upload three close-up photos of your face (one each of the Forehead, cheeks, and chin) so that doctors can assess the condition of your skin in advance.
We ensure that the email is sent within 2 hours, accompanied by a navigation link to the clinic location and a floor plan of the premises. You will also receive a text message reminder 1 day before your appointment. If you prefer to plan ahead, making an appointment through the official website is the most convenient way to organize your schedule.
Telephone appointment
Call the South Korea hotline of the clinic. The business hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday. It is recommended to avoid the lunch break period, from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. You can prepare some basic English phrases in advance, or simply request a Chinese translator to be assigned; the translation fees are usually included in the initial consultation fee.
What is the process for arriving at the clinic?
After the reservation is confirmed, on the day of your visit, please follow the steps below:
- Front desk reception: Verify passport information and arrange for a consultant to accompany the customer.
- Visia skin analysis: captures images in 8 different dimensions
- During the in-person consultation, the doctor will carefully analyze each item in the report to determine the appropriate treatment approach.
- Apply the anesthetic (for about 20 to 30 minutes).
- For formal treatment, feel free to let us know if you experience any discomfort at any time.
- After the procedure, you will receive a repair mask and a Chinese-language care manual. The consultant will also explain the necessary precautions.
The entire process is not particularly complicated, but it is recommended to stop using acidic products and retinol-based treatments 3 days before the consultation, so as to ensure that your skin condition remains stable and allow the doctor to make an accurate assessment.
Reference for common project costs
The following are approximate costs for some services, provided for reference only. The actual fees will be determined based on the hospital’s quotation after a face-to-face consultation.
- Thermage (4th/5th generation): The fee is calculated based on the number of treatments and the area being treated; the cost per session is relatively high. For details, please consult the clinic.
- Acne-prone skin management package (fruit acid treatment + blue light therapy + at-home care): The combined price is generally more affordable than purchasing the services individually.
- Pico laser freckle removal: The cost varies depending on the treatment area; please consult for details.
- LDM Droplet Lifting: Starting from 50,000 Korean won
For popular treatments such as Thermage or Potenza, it is recommended to make reservations 1 to 2 weeks in advance. During holidays, it is even more important to book your spot as early as possible.
A few little reminders
If you are going to South Korea for skin treatment, make sure to check the following before departure: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months; inform your doctor about the skincare products and medications you are currently using; sun protection is essential, especially in the first month after treatments such as photorejuvenation; some procedures (such as exfoliating lasers) require a recovery period, so make sure to schedule your trip accordingly.
Make your appointments through official Chinese platforms or the clinics’ official channels, so you can get immediate assistance if any issues arise, avoiding unnecessary complications.
