Introduction: A Chain Brand with Three Locations – But Is the Service Really the Same?
Every time I see the term “chain dermatology clinic,” I can’t help but wonder: with three locations, different managers, different environments, and different customer bases, will the experience really be the same?
DayBeau Dermatology Clinic is one of the fastest-growing dermatology brands in Korea in recent years. It currently operates three locations in Seoul: Gangnam (in a standalone building), Myeongdong (6th floor of N Building), and Hongdae Mapo (4th floor of Sangjin Building).
Three locations, each representing a different aspect of Seoul. I visited all three during three separate trips to tell you the real story of this same brand with such different experiences.
1. The DayBeau Brand: Its Positioning in the Korean Market
DayBeau is not a clinic that focuses on “high prices and luxury.” Instead, its brand philosophy is more about “everyone who takes themselves seriously deserves professional service.”
Core Characteristics:
- Same Price for All: All locations charge foreign customers the same amount as local Koreans, without any additional “foreigner surcharges.”
- Free Chinese Translation Everywhere: All three locations provide Chinese interpreters, so language is never a concern.
- Global Brand Authentic Product Guarantee: Dermal fillers, botulinum toxin, and other injectable products can be opened in front of you for verification.
- Private Customized Plans: Directors create targeted treatment plans based on the patient’s skin condition on that day; no fixed templates are used.
- Sunday Operations (Myeongdong): While most dermatology clinics are closed on Sundays, this is Myeongdong’s unique advantage.

3. Environment & Atmosphere by Location: The “Personality” of Each Place
Gangnam Location: The Confidence of a Standalone Building
The Gangnam location is the largest of the three, occupying a standalone building. The exterior is clean and clearly displays the DayBeau branding.
Inside, the reception area is spacious, decorated in white and natural wood tones—not flashy, but high-quality. The waiting area is equipped with various brochures providing information about different treatments in Chinese; you can easily learn about the services you’re interested in without having to ask.
Its clients are mainly office workers and local middle-to-high-end customers, with some visitors from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland China. The director has three separate consultation rooms, and the overall service process is efficient without any rush.
Best For: Customers with plenty of time who want to undergo major treatments such as Thermage or Ultherapy; consultations are still available before 8 PM, making it very flexible.
Myeongdong Location: A Quiet Corner in the Shopping District
On the 6th floor of Myeongdong N Building, stepping out of the elevator takes you into a completely different world—below is the crowded Myeongdong pedestrian street, above is a quiet, clean clinic space.
Although the space in Myeongdong is relatively small, the layout is well-designed, with clear separations between the waiting and treatment areas. The director in Myeongdong is particularly renowned for her expertise in injection treatments such as botulinum toxin and fillers, which is why many customers specifically request to see her.
Myeongdong’s Unique Advantage: It operates on Sundays! This is extremely important for visitors with weekend schedules, as many dermatology clinics are closed on Sundays. Therefore, Myeongdong is the top choice for medical beauty treatments on Sundays.
Best For: People who want convenient appointments while shopping, travelers in Seoul on Sundays, and those who prefer injection treatments (a favorite among those who regularly seek such treatments).
Hongdae (Mapo) Location: The New Hub of Youthful Energy
The Hongdae location is the newest of the three, located on the 4th floor of the Sangjin Building. The Hongdae area has a vibrant, youthful atmosphere, and its client base is primarily younger — many people in their 20s who are visiting Korea for the first time to experience medical beauty treatments choose Hongdae as their starting point.
The interior design is simple and light, unlike the more opulent style of Gangnam. The staff here are younger and more energetic, creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Hongdae is particularly renowned for its laser treatments; the director has received numerous compliments for his expertise in improving skin texture and treating acne scars.
Hongdae is open until 8:30 PM, the latest of the three locations — making it perfectly convenient to visit after shopping in the area.
Perfect for: Younger clients, first-time visitors to medical beauty services, those seeking laser treatments, and evening appointments.
4. Treatment Comparison: Specialties of Each Location
| Treatment Type | Recommended Location | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Thermage/Ultherapy (Primary Service) | ✅ Gangnam | Spacious facilities, complete equipment – the top choice for major treatments |
| Botulinum toxin/fillers | ✅ Myeongdong | The director at Myeongdong has an excellent reputation for injections |
| Laser whitening/acne scar treatment | ✅ Hongdae | The director at Hongdae has extensive experience with lasers |
| Skin boosters | ✅ All | All three locations offer these services, with Hongdae being the fastest to complete them. |
| Sunday Visits | ✅ Myeongdong | The only location open on Sundays |
| Evening visits (after 8 PM) | ✅ Hongdae | Open until 8:30 PM, the latest closing time |
5. Unified pricing across all three locations
DayBeau’s three locations use a uniform pricing system—no price differences based on location:
| Treatments | Reference Price Range |
|---|---|
| Thermage (Full Face) | Approximately 1,200,000–1,800,000 KRW |
| Ultherapy | Approximately 800,000–1,400,000 KRW |
| Skin Booster | Approximately 250,000–450,000 KRW per session |
| Botulinum Toxin (For Face Slimming/Wrinkles) | Approximately 100,000–250,000 KRW per area |
| Dermal Filler | Approximately 300,000–600,000 KRW per syringe |
| Laser whitening | Approximately 200,000–350,000 KRW |
| Gold microneedling | Approximately 600,000–1,000,000 KRW |

6. Summary of Director Consultation Experiences
I had consultations with directors at all three locations, and they all had one thing in common: they didn’t actively promote the most expensive options.
The director at Gangnam took into account both the duration of the effects and the budget, suggesting “try option A this time, consider option B next time”; the director at Myeongdong was extremely cautious when it came to injections, asking about previous treatments and the duration of their effects; the director at Hongdae used dermoscopes and special lighting to carefully examine the skin thickness before determining the laser settings.
This realization—that each location has its own focus—made me understand that choosing a place isn’t just about choosing a brand; it’s also about choosing the director’s area of expertise.
7. Customer Reviews
@Xiaohongshu @MyeongdongCheckInDiary: “I arr
ived in Seoul on Sunday and wasn’t expecting DayBeau in Myeongdong to be open. I got Botox injections for wrinkles – after the doctor finished, he asked me to make several exaggerated expressions to test the results, saying ‘the left side looks good, I’ll add a little more to the right side.’ This level of attention to detail is truly professional; nothing like a mass-produced service at all.”
@Weibo @HongdaeNightParade: “I
had acne scar treatment at DayBeau in Hongdae. The doctor used a dermoscope to check the thickness of my skin before setting the parameters, and the nurse said this helped avoid overstimulation. There was some mild redness afterwards, but it mostly went away by day 2, and my pores did seem a bit finer.”
@BeautsGO Platform: “I’
ve been to all three locations, and the service quality is consistently high. The translators are all professional, and the prices match what’s listed on the app. If I had to choose one, it would depend on which area your trip covers – there’s no need to travel extra just to use a particular clinic.”
