📍 YOU&I Busan Branch – Real Experience
🎨 Clinic Environment
The clinic features a clean, minimalist design with a blue-and-white color scheme. The lobby displays numerous before-and-after photos showcasing treatments such as facelifts and fillers. The waiting area provides patient information brochures for review before consultations.
💬 Consultation Experience
The Busan branch operates under the guidance of a dedicated clinic director. The consultation process is quite thorough. However, there is one important point to note—
📌 Real Incident: A companion pretended not to speak Korean. The director noticed this and communicated with the Korean-speaking staff in front of both guests. Afterwards, the director directly stated that they would no longer recommend those treatments. Overall, the service experience was average, with a noticeably rigid attitude towards customers.
💰 Price Reference (Busan Branch)
- Mole removal: The price list initially indicated around ₩11,000, but after consultation, the fee was adjusted to approximately ₩50,000 due to the larger size of the mole.

📍 YOU&I Myeongdong Branch – Great experience (25-minute consultation) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
💆 Overall impression: Professional, stress-free, and comfortable
The Myeongdong branch exceeded all expectations! Despite the high volume and standardized procedures, the professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding:
- ✅ The director explained each treatment in detail—including the process, results, duration, and possible side effects
- ✅ No pressure to buy anything; recommendations were based solely on the skin condition
- ✅ A dedicated translator accompanied all patients throughout the process—always friendly and patient, no matter how many questions were asked
- ✅ Free drinks were provided while waiting—a small but thoughtful gesture
- ✅ Noted multiple groups of Japanese clients, as well as a group of 6 Chinese repeat customers—proof of the clinic’s reputation 🌍
🔍 Consultation Details (Case: Dry Skin + Dark Circles + Forehead Wrinkles)
Given the recent dryness caused by laser treatment, the worsening of dark circles, and the appearance of dynamic wrinkles on the forehead, the director recommended the following comprehensive treatment plan:
💧 1. LDM Moisture Management
Mechanism: Activates the skin’s natural moisture reserves through ultrasonic waves, providing soothing effects, hydration, and repair
- Perfect for recovering from post-laser dryness — a non-invasive treatment
- Immediate relief; can be done on the same day of the visit
- 💰 Price: ₩66,000 (including tax) / 12 minutes
💉 2. Laetigen Porcine Collagen Filler
Mechanism: Directly injects natural porcine collagen under the eyes to thicken the skin and reduce the appearance of dark circles and tear troughs
- Results are immediate and natural — no exaggeration, minimal risk of side effects.
- Minor bruising or allergic reactions may occur after injection.
- ⚠️ Note: Contains ingredients derived from pigs; contraindicated for those with pork allergies or religious dietary restrictions. (The doctor emphasizes this repeatedly during consultations.)
- 💰 Price: ₩495,000 (2CC, including tax).
💆♀️ 3. Forehead Botulinum Toxin (Botox)
How it works: Botulinum toxin injections are used to suppress overactive frontalis muscles, reducing dynamic wrinkles and preventing them from becoming deeper.
- Results last approximately 3–4 months, requiring regular follow-up treatments.
🌍 Comparison of Botox brands (according to the doctor’s analysis):
| Origin | Characteristics |
|---|---|
| 🇩🇪 Germany | Gentle and low-resistance |
| 🇬🇧 UK | A newer formula with natural wrinkle-smoothing effects — the Director’s top choice |
| 🇺🇸 USA | High level of safety |
| 🇰🇷 Korean domestic product | Shorter duration (~2–3 months); higher risk of tolerance with long-term use — not recommended |
💡 Choose imported brands and avoid frequent brand changes. Switching between different imported brands is acceptable, but mixing them is not recommended.
- 💰 Price: ₩66,000 (per area, including tax)
