When it comes to seeking dermatological treatments in South Korea, Daybeau (데이뷰) is almost an unavoidable name—this well-established chain Dermatology clinic has branches in popular shopping areas such as Hongdae, Gangnam, and Kondae. Yet with all three stores available, many people get stuck right away: which one should they book appointments with? What are the differences in the equipment offered at Kondae, Gangnam, and Hongdae? This article clearly explains the differences in each store’s offerings, the types of equipment they use, and which clients they’re best suited for. Make sure to book in advance using BeautsGO or via WeChat at Hannah972 to save time and avoid disappointment.
One-sentence description of Daybeau Dermatology’s third branch: First, figure out exactly what you want.
🏥
All three branches use the Daybeau brand name, but they cater to distinct customer segments with varying strengths. It’s best to first identify which type of service suits you before deciding which branch to visit, so you won’t end up at the clinic only to find that the treatment isn’t right for you. Kondae focuses on routine skincare, Gangnam offers state-of-the-art treatments with top-tier equipment, while Hongdae targets younger clients looking for natural-looking results as a starting point — each approach addressing different needs.
- Kondae Store (건대): Located in the university area, it’s packed with young students and office workers. The services here focus on routine skincare and beginner-friendly treatments, offering great value for money—perfect for those who view medical aesthetics as a form of regular maintenance.
- Gangnam Branch (강남/Sinnonhyeon): A flagship-level facility equipped with a full range of advanced instruments. It excels in anti-aging Lifting treatments and comprehensive facial therapies, making it ideal for those looking to achieve optimal contour definition in just one session.
- Hongdae Store: A youthful and natural atmosphere, identical prices for Korean and foreign customers, easy to get started, with convenient transportation (direct airport bus service). Ideal for first-time visitors to Korea who are worried about being pushed into unnecessary purchases.

Daybeau Dermatology Kondae Branch: A Regular Skincare Stop in the Student Area
💡
The area around Kondae is a mix of universities and shopping districts, with most customers being local students and young professionals. The atmosphere here is relaxed, and prices are relatively low, making it ideal for those who prefer to treat cosmetic procedures as regular maintenance rather than one-time major treatments. Several Taiwanese friends I know who were studying in Seoul started their cosmetic journey in Korea at the Kondae clinic.
Services and Treatment Plans: The offerings mainly include basic cleansing, Pore management, basic laser treatments, and introductory injectables. The focus is on affordable options that allow for frequent follow-up visits. For students with limited budgets, the introductory hydrating treatments or Pore management packages here are usually much more cost-effective than those in Gangnam, with less pressure to schedule repeated appointments.
Equipment Setup: Part of the Daybeau network, it is equipped with popular treatments such as Thermage, Inmode, LDM, and HIFU. The specific models and quantities available at each branch may vary depending on current offerings. It’s recommended to visit BeautsGO and search for “Kondae” branches before your visit to check the latest list of equipment and prices. For those trying medical aesthetics for the first time and who don’t want to be pressured into expensive procedures right away, Kondae offers a stress-free starting point.
Who it’s for: Those with a limited budget, who want regular maintenance treatments, or are trying medical aesthetics for the first time and prefer to avoid unwanted sales pitches. If your goal is anti-aging Lifting or a complete facial contour transformation, Kondae might not be the best choice; Gangnam or Hongdae would be more suitable options.

Daybeau Dermatology Gangnam Branch: State-of-the-Art Equipment at Its Flagship Location
🪄
GANAM’S ANEW Sinnonhyeon is located in Seoul’s heart of the K-Beauty industry. This clinic follows a flagship approach, offering a comprehensive range of advanced devices and numerous treatment options, with anti-aging Lifting treatments and contouring procedures being its standout strengths. The facility provides multilingual service and private treatment rooms, and there are shuttle services connected to the airport for those who want to schedule treatments before departing—making it particularly convenient for independent travelers.
Equipment lineup: Thermage FLX, Ultherapy, Titanium Lifting, Onda Lifting, In-Mode, Shurink, Volnewmer, Potenza, Softwave, GentleMax ProPlus, Pico Laser, V-Laser, LDM, plus injectables such as Botox, Fillers, and Skin Boosters. In short, Gangnam branch offers almost all the mainstream anti-aging and skin management devices available on the market under one roof.
Popular packages include the signature “The Queen Program,” which combines Softwave, Thermage, Titanium Lifting, Rejuran, LDM, and other treatments to address overall contour relaxation. There’s also a firming package that combines 600 shots of Thermage FLX with 300 shots of Ulthera. Such comprehensive treatment regimens usually require a significant amount of time, so it’s recommended to schedule them toward the end of your trip, on a day when you don’t need to rush to catch a flight.
Who it’s for: Advanced clients who want to achieve comprehensive Lifting and contour tightening in just one treatment; it’s also ideal for those with more budget who wish to resolve multiple skin concerns at once. While the price is naturally higher than that of Kondae and Hongdae, it offers the most advanced equipment among the three clinics.

With identical prices for treatments in both Chinese and Korean, there’s no pressure to buy—making it an excellent choice for those who are wary of aggressive sales tactics.
Who it’s for: People aged 25–35 who are visiting Korea for the first time and want to avoid being bombarded with sales pitches. The store is open until 16:30 on Saturdays, making it ideal for short trips over the weekend.

Daybeau Dermatology: Common Questions FAQ
💬
Q1: How much in advance should I make a reservation? Can I just show up without an appointment?
A: During peak times—especially on weekends—it’s recommended to book 3–7 days in advance through BeautsGO or via WeChat at Hannah972. Spots fill up quickly on site, so showing up without a reservation not only means you might not get in but also poses language barriers. Once you submit the request through BeautsGO, you usually receive a confirmation promptly, allowing you to check in right upon arrival in Korea.
Q2: How are the prices calculated? How do they compare to those in Taiwan/Hong Kong??
A:All three clinics offer the same prices for Korean and Chinese clients, with clear pricing displayed. Reference prices (subject to current clinic rates): at Gangnam, the Thermage FLX 600 shots + Ulthera 300 shots package costs ₩2,490,000; Onda for Double Chin treatment is around ₩390,000; Potenza for full-face treatment is about ₩125,000; while at Hongdae, LDM treatments are available starting at ₩70,000. With an exchange rate of roughly ₩10,000 ≈ NT$240 ≈ HK$60, these prices are generally more affordable compared to similar services in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Just remember to include flight and accommodation costs in your total budget.
Q3: What if I don’t speak the language?
A: All three stores offer multilingual services (Chinese/English/Japanese, etc.), and the BeautsGO app also has an instant translation feature, so you don’t have to worry about communication when you arrive. If you’d like to clarify your needs in advance, it’s best to schedule an appointment by messaging Hannah972 on WeChat first.
Q4: How soon can I wear makeup after the procedure, and what is the recovery time?
A: For injection treatments (fillers, hyaluronic acid injections, Botox), light makeup can be applied the day after the procedure. For laser treatments (Pico lasers, toning lasers), it’s recommended to use stronger sun protection within 24 hours and avoid wearing makeup initially. With lift treatments like Ulthera and Titanium, since there are no open wounds, patients can return to their normal daily activities right after the treatment. It’s advised to schedule laser treatments a few days before returning home to give time for any redness to subside.
Q5: Which one should I choose?
A: For Lifting and contour tightening treatments, head to Gangnam. If you’re visiting Korea for the first time, want a gentle introduction to cosmetic procedures, or prioritize convenient transportation, choose Hongdae. For regular maintenance treatments on a budget, Kondae is the best option. All three clinics use the BeautsGO booking system, so it’s more efficient to determine your needs first before securing a slot.
