While traveling on Jeju Island, you can take the opportunity to undergo cosmetic treatments. Nowmedi Dermatology was my top choice this time. They are open 365 days a year, with evening consultations available until 10:00 PM. You can reach the clinic just 15 minutes after landing, and the entire service is provided in Chinese, so you don’t have to worry about any communication issues. This article outlines all the details regarding the services, prices, transportation, and my personal experience. Sisters planning to visit Jeju Island, please save this information for later reference.
🏥 What kind of clinic is Jinzhou Nowmedi Dermatology?
Nowmedi is the only comprehensive dermatology clinic on Jeju Island that operates 24/7 throughout the year, and it also offers services in otolaryngology. Located on the 3rd floor of the APLEX Building on Yeonbuk-ro, it is just a 15-minute drive from Jeju Airport. Below the clinic is the MODERN HOUSE lifestyle center, and it takes only 3 minutes to walk to Olive Young – perfect for both shopping and medical appointments.
The clinic is staffed by three specialist directors who work in shifts to ensure that there are always doctors on duty every day. Director Kang specializes in phototherapy and hyaluronic acid injections, Director Song is expert in eye surgery and thread lifting, while Director Li oversees Lifting treatments and Collagen therapies. This specialized division of labor is far more effective than a single clinic that attempts to handle everything itself.
💰 Core projects and price references of Nowmedi
Nowmedi offers a wide range of services, ranging from basic hyaluronic acid treatments to advanced Collagen management programs. Here are some of the currently most popular treatments; the prices provided are for reference only, and the actual fees will be determined during a personal consultation.
- Collagen management: Nowmedi’s flagship service, which uses ULTRACOL 200 Collagen for filling to address facial depressions and fine lines.
- Potenza Diamond Lifting with 500 Potenza needles: The dual action of microneedle radiofrequency helps to tighten Pores and Lifting the facial contours; the recovery period is approximately 3 days.
- Basic Glow Injection: A hydrating foundation treatment, the ideal first step for those starting out in the aesthetic medicine industry.
- Rejuran: PN polynucleotide ingredients that help to address dryness and fine lines at the dermal layer.
- Filler injection: A wide range of brands are available, and Dr. Song personally performs the injection and positioning procedures.
- HIFU: A non-surgical lifting technique; Director Kang specializes in photothermal treatments.
In terms of prices, Nowmedi targets a mid-to-high-end market segment, but its fees are not excessively high. Compared with similar clinics in Gangnam District, Seoul, its prices are approximately 15-20% lower. Additionally, since the costs of accommodation and airfare in Jeju Island are generally lower than those in Seoul, the overall cost-performance ratio is actually even better.
🗺️ Jizhou Nowmedi: Transportation and Booking Guide
The drive from Jeju Airport to Nowmedi takes approximately 15 minutes, and the taxi fare is around ⩺8,500. It is also possible to take the bus, which takes about 50 minutes and costs ⩺91,150. The clinic is located on the 3rd floor of the APLEX building; on the 1st floor, you can visit MODERN HOUSE for a stroll, and just 3 minutes away is Olive Young. So, you can take advantage of the opportunity to shop while finishing your medical treatment – it’s a great way to maximize your efficiency.
Regarding reservations, Nowmedi supports online booking, and you can directly select the desired time slot through the BeautsGO platform. It is recommended to book at least 2-3 days in advance; during peak seasons (summer vacation and cherry blossom season), it is best to make reservations a week in advance. A Chinese-speaking supervisor will accompany you throughout the process, so you don’t have to worry about language barriers at all.
✨ My real experience with Nowmedi: How I felt after undergoing Collagen treatment
On that day, I chose the ULTRACOL 200 Collagen treatment, and the entire process took about 1.5 hours. First, I had a consultation with Director Kang to determine the treatment plan. He used a skin analysis device to assess my skin type and then customized the injection sites based on my specific needs. It wasn’t one of those quick-in, quick-out procedures where you just come in, get the treatment, and leave.
After applying the anesthetic for about 20 minutes, during the actual injection, there was a noticeable stinging sensation at the bony areas of the Forehead and temples—the discomfort was tolerable but not particularly pleasant. In contrast, the soft tissues of the cheeks felt much more relaxed, similar to the experience during a Pico treatment. After the injection, LED calming light was applied for 15 minutes; upon exiting, the area was slightly red but not swollen.
📋 Precautions for post-operative care after Nowmedi procedures
After undergoing Collagen treatment or microneedling procedures, post-treatment care directly affects the duration of the results. Below are the post-treatment guidelines provided by Nowmedi, which I have strictly followed:
- Avoid washing your face within 24 hours after the procedure; simply wipe it gently with normal saline.
- Steam baths, saunas, and strenuous exercise are prohibited within 3 days after the procedure.
- Avoid alcohol and spicy foods for at least 1 week after the procedure.
- Apply a medical moisturizing mask every day for a consecutive period of 5 days.
- Always apply SPF50+ sunscreen before going out, as ultraviolet rays are the enemy of Collagen.
- One-week follow-up visit after the procedure to assess recovery progress
👥 Who is suitable and who is not suitable for Nowmedi?
To be honest, Nowmedi is not suitable for everyone. It is more appropriate for the following groups of people:
- People who visit Jeju Island and take advantage of medical beauty treatments at the same time (it only takes 15 minutes to get to the clinic after landing – extremely convenient!)
- A woman with a moderate budget who doesn’t want to go to the crowded areas of Seoul
- People who only have time to see a doctor on weekends or holidays (the fact that services are available 365 days a year is really a great advantage).
- A beginner who is having cosmetic surgery for the first time and looking for Chinese-speaking services
However, if you are considering major cosmetic surgeries such as bone reduction or nose augmentation, Nowmedi specializes in dermatological aesthetics, and such procedures fall outside their scope of services. It is also recommended that women who are pregnant or breastfeeding consult a doctor before making any decisions.
❓ FAQ on Common Issues in Dermatology at Nowmedi
Q: Is Nowmedi open on weekends and national holidays?
A: Yes! Nowmedi is open 365 days a year, including weekends and national holidays. The business hours are from 09:00 to 18:00, with a lunch break from 12:30 to 14:00.
Q: How can one communicate if they don’t speak Korean?

Q: Can I take a flight on the same day after the procedure?
A: It is safe to fly on the same day after undergoing basic hyaluronic acid treatments and Collagen treatments, but it is recommended to wait at least half a day for observation. For microneedling treatments, the recovery period is approximately 3 days, so flying on the same day is not advised.

A: No charge! Nowmedi implements a unified pricing policy for both Chinese and foreign customers in South Korea; the fees are the same for both, which is really fair.
Q: Is it possible to make an appointment and have the procedure done on the same day?
A: It depends on the situation. During the off-season, it is possible to get a reservation, but during the peak seasons (July-August and April during the cherry blossom season), it is recommended to book at least 2-3 days in advance.
