Real experiences at three Korean dermatology clinics | Reviews by ordinary people on hyaluronic acid injections and laser whitening treatments – A must-see for Taiwanese considering cosmetic procedures in Korea

At the end of last year, my best friend and I planned a five-day, four-night trip to Seoul. Besides visiting弘大 and eating barbecue, our main goal was actually to get some facial treatments. After searching for information for several months, we found this incredibly cute clinic in Gangnam: Se-ga-ji-so-won Skin Clinic. The name sounded so warm and inviting that it felt like making a beautiful promise before even stepping inside.

As someone from Taiwan, my biggest fear when going to a doctor in Korea was communication barriers or being taken advantage of. This time, I booked everything through the BeautsGO platform, which provided Chinese-speaking customer service, so I didn’t feel any stress at all. Here’s my honest experience—no embellishments, no sugarcoating.

Basic Information about Se-ga-ji-so-won Skin Clinic

Se-ga-ji-so-won Skin Clinic is located in Gangnam District, Seoul. It has become extremely popular in Taiwan and Hong Kong on social media platforms like REDnote in the past two years. The clinic specializes in hyaluronic acid injections, laser whitening treatments, and various basic skin care services. Its target audience is mainly young women aged 25–38 who value beauty, and a significant number of its clients are foreigners. The clinic also provides Chinese-language interpretation services.

II. Why I Chose Three Wishes Dermatology

To be honest, I was initially attracted by the name. The Chinese name “Three Wishes” has such a poetic connotation. Later, I learned that the Korean original name “세가지소원” literally means “Three Desires.” After searching on REDnote, I found several features of this clinic that convinced me to make a reservation:

  • Friendly Chinese service: The clinic provides Chinese translators, and together with the Chinese customer support on the BeautsGO platform, there is no need to worry about communication barriers at any stage, from consultation to post-treatment follow-up.
  • Excellent reputation for Hyaluronic Acid injections: Many Taiwanese beauty bloggers have shared that the results are immediate, with a noticeable increase in skin moisture.
  • Laser whitening is suitable for Asian skin types: Imported equipment is used, and the energy level is adjusted specifically for customers from Taiwan and Hong Kong.
  • Reasonable prices: Compared to other popular dermatology clinics in the Jiangnan area, San Ge Xin Yuan’s pricing is quite fair, so you won’t face exorbitant costs upon arrival.

III. Detailed information on San Ge Xin Yuan Dermatology’s signature treatments

San Ge Xin Yuan Dermatology: Hyaluronic acid injections

This is San Ge Xin Yuan’s most popular treatment; almost every foreign customer who visits receives it. The core of these injections is the direct administration of active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and retinol into the dermis, resulting in much more noticeable effects than simply applying moisturizers. On the same day of the treatment, the skin feels “glowing from within,” making it especially suitable for dry skin during seasonal changes or due to prolonged lack of sleep.

I chose the whitening treatment combination containing hyaluronic acid and retinol. The doctor adjusted the formula according to my skin type (oilier T-zone, drier cheeks). The entire injection process took about 20 minutes and was slightly painful but completely tolerable. On the day of the treatment, it’s recommended to use only the moisturizing mask provided by the clinic.

San Ge Xin Yuan Dermatology: Laser toning

Laser toning is another strong point of San Ge Xin Yuan. It targets issues such as freckles, sunspots, and dull skin. Low-energy Q-Switched lasers are used to break down melanin deep in the skin and stimulate collagen regeneration. The procedure is painless and causes a mild warming sensation; the skin may turn slightly red after treatment but returns to normal within 2–3 hours. It is recommended to undergo 3–5 sessions for the best results.

Treatment Price range (Korean won) Recovery period Duration of effect
Hydrating serum (basic version) 150,000 to 250,000 Can apply makeup on the same day (light makeup) 4 to 6 weeks
Hydrating serum (whitening set) 250,000 to 400,000 Can apply makeup on the same day (light makeup) 4 to 8 weeks
Laser whitening (one session) 100,000 – 200,000 Slight redness may occur on the same day, but it returns to normal within 2–3 hours It is recommended to undergo 3–5 treatments
Basic skin care 80,000 – 150,000 No recovery period required 2–4 weeks

IV. My complete experience recording of the consultation

I booked 2 weeks in advance through the BeautsGO app and selected a time slot on Wednesday afternoon. The platform is extremely user-friendly; I could see a list of the three services I wanted, their approximate prices, and user reviews. Within 24 hours after booking, I received a confirmation message from the Chinese customer service, informing me of the necessary preparations (such as stopping the use of retinol products for 3 days, etc.).

On the day of the consultation: The clinic was more sophisticated than I had imagined. There were tea and snacks in the waiting area, and the staff greeted me in Chinese, creating a very relaxed atmosphere. The nurse first conducted a skin test for me, using a machine to scan my pores, moisture levels, oiliness, and the distribution of spots. The results were available in about 10 minutes, and then the doctor explained the appropriate treatment plan based on the data.

During the consultation, the doctor was very patient and didn’t rush me into choosing the most expensive package right away. I mentioned that I wanted to improve my dull skin and hydrate it, and he recommended a combination of hyaluronic acid injections for whitening plus a single laser whitening treatment, saying that the combination would be most effective. I asked several questions about the duration of the effects and the necessary precautions, and he answered them in detail, both in Chinese and with some assistance from translation.

“Your skin foundation is quite good; the main issue is dullness caused by dryness. You will notice a difference right after the hyaluronic acid injection. For the laser whitening, I suggest you go back to Taiwan and observe the results for a month. If the spots improve significantly, there’s no need to rush into further treatments; just continue with the maintena

nce care.” —— Attending Physician at San San Xing Skin Clinic

Post-treatment feelings: I really felt the effects immediately after the hyaluronic acid injection. My skin felt soft and elastic, and it looked much more radiant in the mirror. After the laser whitening, my face was slightly red, but the clinic provided a calming mask that helped reduce the redness within 20 minutes. By the next day, my skin was noticeably whiter, and my friend said I “was shining,” haha.

V. Real User Reviews

“The hyaluronic acid injection at San San Xing was the best experience I’ve had in Korea!

before and after the treatment.” —— 29-year-old Taiwanese user, March 2026

“I got a combination of laser whitening and skin care, and the sunspots on my face did indeed fade significantly.

“The name of the clinic is really cute, and the interior design is in a light pink tone that’s great for taking photos. But the most important thing is that the results are great! After the hyaluronic acid injection, my skin was super moisturized, and the doctor’s technique was very gentle; there was much less discomfort compared to other p
