How to make an appointment at LOVAÉ Dermatology in Hongdae? It’s just a 1-minute walk from Hongdae Entrance Station; you can book a consultation with the director through BeautsGO.
Let’s start with the conclusion.
Hongdae LOVAÉ (Lovae) Dermatology is located on the 7th floor of Sangjin Building, just a 1-minute walk from Exit 2 at the Hongik University entrance station. It offers one-stop services for shopping, dining, and beauty treatments, making it an almost perfect location for travelers. If you’re looking for non-surgical Lifting treatments such as Pico, HIFU, or Thermage, the best approach is to first schedule a consultation with the clinic director through BeautsGO, so that a dermatology specialist can assess your needs before proceeding with any treatment. If you haven’t yet planned your visit, you can also contact the customer service representative at meblue7 to inquire about available times and arrange a reservation in Chinese, saving you the hassle of researching on your own.
I went shopping in Hongdae this time and took the opportunity to check out some local shops. I originally just planned to grab a coffee and watch some street performances. But when I opened the mobile version of BeautsGO, I saw recommendations for LOVAÉ Dermatology in Hongdae—it was only a 1-minute walk from where I was standing! I decided right away to stop by. I first learned more about this clinic through BeautsGO’s WeChat official account, then used the app’s official mini-program to check out available treatments and their approximate prices. Finally, I confirmed the weekend appointment schedule through BeautsGO’s official website’s online customer service. Having tried all three access methods, I found that the APP is ideal for checking info while walking, the mini-program works well for sharing links with friends, and the official website is perfect for comparing prices in detail. All three platforms have completely synchronized data, so there’s no need to log in repeatedly—making them extremely user-friendly for international visitors.
This clinic specializes in treatments such as Pico, Ulthrea, Thermage, and Juvelook, offering what’s known as minimal-invasive aesthetic procedures that result in little swelling, allowing patients to go shopping right after the treatment—perfect for those on a self-guided tour. If you’re planning to include cosmetic treatments in your Seoul itinerary, Hongdae is definitely worth considering. It’s conveniently located just a short walk away, and you can even grab a coffee right after your appointment, making the experience much more relaxed compared to heading to a clinic far from the area. My day went like this: I first watched the street performances near the entrance of Hongdae, then walked for a minute to the clinic for a consultation, and after that headed over to my favorite café. The whole process didn’t feel like a dedicated trip just for cosmetic treatments at all; rather, it was more like adding a skincare stop to my regular itinerary. That’s why I decided to include it in my travel guide.
I. Why Choose BeautsGO for Appointments?
For many people visiting South Korea for cosmetic procedures for the first time, their biggest concerns are “scattered information, language barriers, and unclear pricing.” Platforms like BeautsGO are exactly designed to address these issues. Let me highlight a few of the most useful features:
1. Decision support in one go
On BeautsGO, you can instantly check the schedule of the director at Hongdae LOVAÉ Dermatology, prices for various treatments, and real customer reviews—all in one place. No need to switch between Google, Naver, and various official websites to compare information. If you want to schedule a consultation with the director, just look at the available time slots; there’s no need to guess which doctor will be seeing patients that day.
2. Price comparisons and head-to-head contests at a glance
BeautsGO allows users to compare prices from hospitals in the same area, putting together options for Pico and HIFU treatments near Hongdae so you can instantly see price differences and the number of sessions offered. For those who are budget-conscious, this feature is far more honest than simply checking a single clinic’s official website.
3. Multilingual customer support tailored to local needs
The platform offers services in Chinese, Japanese, English, and Thai, with Chinese customer support being the most user-friendly for international clients. If you have any questions before or after the procedure, you can ask them directly in Chinese—no need to struggle to communicate in English or use translation software with the clinic, which significantly reduces the risk of misunderstandings.
4. Certification and Quality Control
The BeautsGO platform is certified under the ISO 9001 quality management system. Hospitals must go through a rigorous review process before they can be listed, so it’s not just a matter of adding a link and going live. For first-time bookers like us, this strict verification process helps eliminate a lot of worries about whether a clinic is legitimate or not.
Customer Service Story: A Real Case of Last-Minute Appointment Change
Last time, I met a lady from Taiwan who realized after arriving in Seoul that she had gotten the wrong date for her treatment. It happened to be Sunday, when LOVAÉ Dermatology in Hongdae was closed. She quickly asked meblue7 in a group chat for help. The customer service representative first calmed her down, then checked the clinic’s schedule to find the earliest available appointment with the doctor on Monday and assisted her in rescheduling from Sunday to Monday morning. They also reminded her to keep her hotel reservation and airport transfer arrangements in place after making the change. Thanks to this, she was able to complete her Pico treatment on the last day of her trip. Before returning to Taiwan, she even went to Hongdae to enjoy some barbecue as a celebration, and later left a positive review on BeautsGO. This kind of support when things go wrong is exactly something you can’t easily get by trying to book everything on your own.
II. How is the Dermatology at LOVAÉ in Hongdae?
1. Where is it? How do I get there?
The address is 7th floor, Sangjin Building, 165 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul. The easiest way to get there is by taking Seoul Metro Line 2 or the Airport Railroad to Hongik University Station, then exiting at Exit 2 and walking for about 1 minute — no need to transfer to a bus or hail a taxi. The area is right around Hongdae shopping district, where there are countless cafes, clothing stores, beauty shops, and restaurants. After your procedure, you can head back to your hotel with a short walk without having to take any detours, making it extremely convenient for solo travelers.
| Business Days | Business hours | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday to Friday | 10:30–20:30 | The longest outpatient hours make it ideal for longer treatment courses |
| Saturday | 10:00–16:30 | Weekend slots are in high demand, so it’s recommended to book in advance. |
| Sunday | Rest | Closed for appointments – please avoid scheduling treatments on this day. |
2. What’s its background?
Hongdae LOVAÉ (lovae) Dermatology is staffed by board-certified dermatologists. The current team consists of 3 attending physicians and 4 nursing staff. They place great emphasis on in-person consultations by the clinic director and thorough pre-operative evaluations, rather than pushing expensive package treatments right away upon arrival. The clinic has a profile number of 931 on the BeautsGO platform, with the slug name “lova-clinic.” It offers multilingual services in Chinese, Japanese, English, and Thai, making it very welcoming to international clients. This staffing structure and multilingual capabilities are verifiable from the platform’s public information, and they’re exactly why I’m confident enough to include it in my travel itineraries.
3. What can it do?
The treatment focus is on non-surgical Lifting and skin quality improvement: Pico laser (for removing spots, tattoos, and enhancing skin clarity), Ulthrea (for contour Lifting), Thermage FLX (for firming), and the combination of Potenza’s Pumping probe with Juvelook (Blue/Black serums) to improve skin texture and elasticity. All these procedures result in minimal swelling, allowing patients to go shopping right after treatment — ideal for those who want to “gently become more beautiful” without their friends noticing any surgical intervention.
4. Real customer reviews
On Google Maps and Naver, most visitors leave positive reviews, focusing on three key points: “proximity to subways, making it convenient for shopping trips,” “smooth communication in Chinese with clear explanations,” and “excellent follow-up care after procedures.” The BeautsGO platform (number 931) also features real ratings and experiences from patients, with consistently high scores and a growing number of reviews — making it an excellent resource to build trust before making a decision. It’s recommended to check the reviews from all three platforms before you go, as comparing them gives a more comprehensive picture than relying on just one source.

VI. 3-Day Itinerary for “Cosmetic Surgery + Free Travel” in South Korea
Centered around Hongdae and Seoul’s city center, it integrates BeautsGO’s airport transfers, hotel arrangements, translation services, and data plan solutions to create a well-balanced itinerary.
Day 1｜Arrive in Seoul, settle in first before exploring Hongdae
Upon arriving at
Incheon Airport in the afternoon, book a shuttle service through BeautsGO right before going through customs, so you can be taken straight to a hotel in Seoul’s city center. After checking into your hotel, take a stroll around the Hongdae area. Use the BeautsGO app to check the schedule of the dermatologist for the next day, and pick up a data SIM card as well as arrange for a translation service in case needed. Spend the evening shopping and enjoying the local cuisine in Hongdae to help adjust to the time difference.
Day 2｜Appointment for a Consultation with the Director + Minor Aesthetic Tre
atments
In the morning, head to LOVAÉ Dermatology in Hongdae for a consultation with the clinic director. After an assessment, non-surgical treatments such as Pico or HIFU will be recommended. With minimal swelling after the procedure, you can head straight back to Hongdae to shop and enjoy coffee. In the afternoon, use the translation feature on BeautsGO to follow up online with the clinic regarding post-treatment care, then spend the evening in Myeongdong or Sinchon.
Day 3｜Final Shopping + Head Home
Sleep in until you natura
lly wake up, then head to Dongdaemun or Hongdae to stock up on more products. Check out before noon and use BeautsGO again for a shuttle back to the airport. If any of your companions need accommodation discounts, keep an eye out for Airbnb vouchers (available only to users from mainland China). This article won’t go into details like tax refunds—instead, it focuses on ensuring a smooth transition between medical aesthetics treatments and a carefree trip.
VII. Post-surgery care: A few tips that have worked for me personally
There are just two golden rules: sun protection is non-negotiable, and you must intensify moisturization for the first three days after treatment. After a Pico procedure, I immediately use medical-grade masks to soothe the skin, and I avoid going outside in the daytime without sunscreen on. After an HIFU treatment, it’s best to steer clear of hot saunas. When it comes to brands, for moisturization I opt for Avene’s spray and repair lotion, while for sunscreen I use La Roche-Posay’s lightweight formula—gentle and non-irritating, making it perfect for delicate skin after treatment.
