I was completely impressed by this Dermatology clinic! In-person reviews of Milac Dermatology in Hannam-dong show that the director pays great attention to details during injections and is also extremely gentle.

Let me state the conclusion first: Influenced greatly by those claims on IG and REDnote such as “the results look natural as if no treatment was done at all” and “the director is extremely gentle”, I specifically made a detour to Meilaxi milac.c Dermatology near Hannam-dong when flying to Seoul this time. After undergoing the Sofwave treatment combined with injectable therapies, Director Park Ji-young personally performed the entire procedure, carefully targeting each injection site. Even when applying the anesthetic, she asked me, “This area is quite sensitive, so I’ll start slowly.” I am documenting all these details, the prices, and my actual experience here for those of you who are still considering this treatment option.

Why has the Milac Dermatology clinic become so popular in Hannam-dong? The real reasons behind its success.

🪄

In the past six months, almost every review of medical beauty services in Hannam-dong on platforms like Threads, Dcard, and REDnote included comments such as “Go to Milac,” “Director Park is very gentle,” and “It’s really important not to push products on customers.” At first, I thought that such reviews with zero or only positive comments were mostly part of some marketing strategy. However, after reviewing at least 30 such reviews, I noticed that several key phrases kept recurring with remarkable frequency.

• “The dean personally performed the procedure” – It wasn’t just a brief glance; he actually administered the injections and operated the Sofwave probe throughout the entire process.
• “Moderate use of cosmetic procedures” – Some netizens shared that the clinic director told her, “You don’t need to have so many treatments; half of them would be enough.” Such a suggestion is almost unheard of at other clinics.
• “Precision in Dosage” – The dosage varies for each area; the same set of parameters is never applied throughout the entire process.
• “No sales pitches” – Avoid the routine of starting to recommend things like “This would also be perfect for you” before finishing the job.
• “Excellent Chinese translation” – The clinic is equipped with professional Chinese translators, ensuring zero barriers to communication.

After reading this, I decided to give it a try myself. After all, the term “assembly line” in South Korea’s medical aesthetics industry is no joke – there are indeed hospitals where the director personally handles the entire procedure, which is completely different from the experience of just visiting for a few minutes and then leaving.

Milac.c Dermatology Institute: A private space located near Hannam-dong

🏥

Milac.c Dermatology is located on the 2nd floor of 56 Hanlin-ma-ro, Seongdong District, Seoul. It is only about a minute’s walk from Exit 3 of Yuseo Subway Station, and is situated next to the Queen’s Bread Shop, making it very easy to find. The clinic covers an area of approximately 300 square meters and features a simple, private design. It doesn’t resemble those large-scale dermatology centers that occupy entire buildings and are constantly bustling with people; instead, it looks more like a high-end, independent studio.

The moment you enter, you feel a sense of tranquility. There are no sales pitches from the front desk, no endless ads showing before-and-after results of surgeries on TV screens. Instead, there is only a gentle fragrance and comfortable sofa areas. Each treatment room is a private space—no shared areas, no curtains separating them, offering utmost privacy.

Director Park Ji-young listens to you in person during the consultation: This isn’t just going through the motions; we truly hear what you have to say.

💡

This was the part of the entire experience that surprised me the most. As soon as I entered the treatment room, Director Park Ji-young didn’t simply ask mechanically, “What would you like to have done?” and then start the procedure. Instead, she used a skin testing device to carefully examine my skin – from my Forehead to my chin, and from the front to the side at a 45-degree angle. The whole process took about 10 minutes.

She first asked about my regular skincare habits and whether I had undergone any other medical beauty treatments. Then, based on the direction of the muscles on my face and the distribution of fat, she recommended a full-face Sofwave treatment combined with anti-aging injections in certain areas. What touched me the most was when she pointed to my Forehead and said, “The skin here is actually in pretty good condition; there’s no need to apply the treatment to the same depth everywhere. We can adjust it to be a bit lighter here.” The ability to make such personalized adjustments truly sets these clinics apart from those that simply follow standard procedures.

Throughout the consultation, a Chinese translator is present to ensure that language barriers are completely eliminated. Director Park speaks at a slow pace and uses simple terms to explain the procedures, adopting a approach that is far from the condescending demeanor commonly associated with doctors. Instead, he behaves more like a friend who sincerely wants to help you solve your problems.

Unfiltered real-world test: A detailed record of Meilaxi milac Sofwave + injection treatment

🫧

Before the procedure officially began, the nurse applied an anesthetic to my area for about 20 minutes. While the anesthetic was taking effect, Director Park came in to review the final treatment plan and specifically asked me, “Do you have any history of allergies? We’ll start with a low dose first to see how you react.” Such attention to detail really helped ease my concerns considerably.

The entire process with Sofwave takes approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Director Park personally holds the probe and moves it step by step upwards, starting from the jawline; she carefully locates each pulse point herself, without delegating the task to the nurse. In terms of sensations: areas with prominent bones such as the jawbone and cheekbones may experience a slight tingling or warmth, while soft tissues like the cheeks hardly feel anything at all. Most importantly, after treating each area, she would stop and ask, “How does this area feel?” It wasn’t a perfunctory question; she truly waited for your response before continuing.

The injection process requires even greater attention to detail. Director Park uses extremely fine needles to precisely target each area one by one; after injecting each point, he gently presses the area to stop the bleeding. The pace is not fast, but it is very steady. Compared to my previous experience at other clinics, where the nurse would prepare the area and the doctor would complete the injections in just one minute before leaving, the injection process at Meilaxi took approximately twice as long. But this extra time is precisely what makes the difference between “gentleness” and “perfunctory care”.

All fees are fully disclosed: The prices at Milac Dermatology are so transparent that it’s almost unbelievable.

💰

To be honest, before visiting Meilai Xi, I was prepared to accept the fact that the prices would probably be about 30% higher than those at regular clinics. After all, with the director personally conducting consultations and a non-conveyor-belt style of service, the costs surely couldn’t be low. But when I actually saw the detailed fee breakdown, I found that, given the quality of the service provided, the prices were actually quite reasonable.

• Sofwave Sofwave (full face): ¥4.5 million to ¥7.9 million (approximately NT$45,000 to NT$79,000), including a face consultation and treatment performed personally by the clinic director – no hidden fees or additional charges.
• Anti-aging injections (such as Rejuran/Juvelook): ¥800,000 to 2 million (approximately NT$18,000 to $45,000), depending on the dosage and the area being treated.
• BBL HERO Photorejuvenation: It is recommended to visit BeautsGO for the latest prices, which are transparent and publicly available.

The key point is that all costs must be clearly confirmed before the procedure, without any hidden fees or additional charges that are only discovered after the treatment is completed. This attitude is completely in line with what President Park said: “We will not recommend unnecessary treatments just to meet performance targets.”

Time line of the actual effects after Milac treatment: a complete record from day 1 to day 30

✨

The following is my personal experience and record of the effects immediately after receiving the Sofwave + anti-aging injection treatment, providing you with a real and accurate reference:

1. On the day of the procedure: My face was slightly red and warm to the touch, but it didn’t hurt, nor was it so swollen that I couldn’t go out in public. That evening, I applied a facial mask at my homestay, and everything went fine.
2. On days 1 to 3 after the procedure: There was a slight sense of tightness in the face, and the line of the jaw felt noticeably tighter than before. Daily life was not affected at all; on the third day, I even went shopping in Seongsu-dong.
3. On days 5 to 7 after the procedure: The redness completely subsides, and the face begins to exhibit a glowing appearance; friends even comment, “How come your skin has become so shiny?” The firming effects of Sofwave become noticeable starting from day 5.
4. On the 14th day after the procedure: The definition of the jawline reached its peak, and the contours of the chin were noticeably sharper when viewed from the side. The feeling of fullness at the injection sites also remained consistent.
5. 30 days after the procedure: The overall results are stable, and the definition of the facial contours has significantly improved. Director Park stated that the effects of Sofwave will reach their peak in the 2nd to 3rd month; we are still observing the progress at present.

To be honest, compared to the radiofrequency treatments I used to have in Taiwan, the results from Meilaxi this time were much faster and more natural. It wasn’t that kind of unnatural stiffness after the treatment; instead, it was a subtle improvement where people could tell you looked better, but couldn’t exactly point out what had changed.

Groups of people who are suitable and not suitable for visiting Milac Dermatology

👭

People who are suitable for visiting Milac.c Dermatology:

• For those who seek an effect that is so natural that no one can tell it was done at all – President Park’s aesthetic concept is not about “the more obvious, the better,” but rather about “just right.”
• For those who are afraid of the standardized, mass-produced medical beauty procedures and prefer that the director personally handle everything from the initial consultation to the actual treatment, ensuring that no one else gets involved in any step of the process.
• For those going to South Korea for medical beauty treatments for the first time and in need of Chinese translation services — our professional translators will accompany you throughout the entire process, ensuring no obstacles at all.
• For those who are sensitive to pain and prefer gentle techniques from their doctors, President Park’s injection approach is slow but steady, resulting in much less discomfort than expected.
• People who hate being pushed into buying something – Mei Lai Xi’s approach is “I only recommend something if you really need it”, not “This one would also be great for you”.

It is not recommended to visit the Milac.C Dermatology clinic.

• For those who prefer a “quick and efficient solution” – having the director personally conduct the consultation means that each patient will spend more time, making this approach unsuitable for those who are in a hurry and prefer a more streamlined medical beauty process.
• For those with very limited budgets – although the prices are reasonable, they are still slightly higher than those of the budget-friendly chain clinics (after all, you get what you pay for).
• For those who need to schedule a consultation on Wednesday or Sunday: The clinic is closed all day on Wednesdays, Sundays, and holidays, and it is only open until 3 p.m. on Saturdays.
• For those who wish to undergo major plastic surgeries — Meilaxi specializes in Dermatology and does not perform procedures such as Double eyelid surgery or rhinoplasty.
