It’s perfect for those who are going to Gangnam for minor cosmetic procedures for the first time, have a limited budget, and don’t want to run into any problems.

It’s recommended to check the services and prices in advance on BeautsGO, and then present your reservation record at the location upon arrival. This way, the whole process will be transparent, and you won’t get overcharged.
Q2: What should I do if I don’t understand the language?
All 11 of these clinics offer Chinese-language services or have staff who can provide translations. When making a reservation through BeautsGO, you can choose those clinics labeled with “Chinese-language services” to avoid any language barriers.
Q3: If it’s my first time getting minor cosmetic procedures in Gangnam, which treatments are the most worthwhile?
Top recommendations: Rejuran Hydrating Needle Treatment (for dry and dehydrated skin), HIFU (for Lifting), and Pico laser treatment (for whitening and spot removal). These three techniques are mature, cost-effective, and have a short recovery period, making them suitable for most people.
Q4: Which is cheaper, Gangnam or Hongdae?
Generally speaking, the prices in Gangnam are higher, but there are many high-quality clinics with state-of-the-art equipment. If your budget is limited, areas such as Seocho and the Nonhyeon extension zone offer better value for money; if you want to access the latest technologies and work with renowned doctors, then the core area of Gangnam is the right choice for you.
Q5: Is it necessary to make a reservation in advance?
It’s absolutely necessary! Popular clinics in Gangnam usually fill up their schedules 2 to 3 days in advance for weekend appointments. It is recommended to book through BeautsGO at least 3 to 5 days in advance, so as to avoid waiting on-site.
Q6: How long is the recovery period after the procedure?
HIFU: Mild redness may occur 1–3 days after treatment; Pico: Peeling may happen 3–5 days after treatment; HIFU: Slight swelling may last for 1–2 weeks; Filler injections: A temporary swelling period of 3–5 days is possible. It is recommended to avoid undergoing these treatments in the week before menstruation.
Q7: Is it possible to visit two different clinics in one day?
Not recommended! Most procedures require a recovery period, and strenuous activities should be avoided on the day of the surgery. It is advised to perform only one major procedure per day and ensure adequate rest after the operation.
Q8: Are there many clinics open on Sundays in Gangnam?
