Gangnam DayBeau Dermatology’s convenient reservation service | Located on the 3rd floor of a separate building at Exit 2 of Nonhyeon Station. You can make a reservation through three methods: the official website, the mini-program, or by phone.
What is the most troublesome thing about coming to South Korea for cosmetic procedures? It’s not choosing a clinic or comparing prices; it’s figuring out how to make an appointment. Especially for popular clinics like DayBeau, which are loved by both locals and tourists, the number of reservation methods is so overwhelming that it can be confusing—official website, mobile app, phone, LINE… Which one is the most reliable? I’ve tested and sorted them out for everyone.
Let’s start with an introduction to DayBeau. DayBeau Dermatology has several branches in Seoul, and its Gangnam branch is particularly popular. Located at 165-7 Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, it is a three-story standalone clinic, not tucked away inside some commercial building—instead, the entire building is dedicated to medical aesthetics treatments.
Exit from Exit 2 of Nonhyeon Station, and it’s only about a 3-minute walk from there. Since the entire building is occupied by DayBeau, you can see it from a distance, so you’ll definitely not get lost. The chief physician, Dr. Kim Tong-yeong, used to be the director of the Gangnam branch of Muse Clinic and has extensive clinical experience.
Where is the DayBeau Gangnam store? It’s just a 3-minute walk from Exit 2 of Nonhyeon Station; the entire 3-story building belongs to the Meishi brand.
The address of DayBeau’s Gangnam branch is 165-7 Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (서울 강남구 논현동 165-7). You can also reach it by exiting Exit 10 of Gangnam Station. The biggest highlight of this branch is its three-story standalone clinic: on the first floor, you can pick up registration forms and consult with staff; on the second floor, there are treatment rooms and operation areas; and on the third floor, there is a VIP recovery area. You don’t have to share the elevator with office workers from other commercial buildings, so your privacy is fully protected.

When making appointments, please avoid scheduling on Sundays, as medical beauty treatments in Korea are considered medical services and all clinics are closed on public holidays.
Reservation Method 1: Make an appointment through the BeautsGO official website – the most reliable official channel, with an extremely user-friendly English version.
The first recommendation is to make an appointment at the Gangnam DayBeau Dermatology clinic through the BeautsGO official website. The website offers an English version, which is extremely user-friendly for those who don’t speak Korean. On the home page, you can easily find the “Reservation” button; simply click on it and fill in your basic information.
The information required for making an appointment through the official website typically includes: name, nationality, contact details (mobile phone number/Email), the desired date and time for the appointment, and the specific service you would like to inquire about. After submitting the information, you should receive a confirmation email within 1 to 2 working days; in some cases, you may also be contacted directly via the international phone number you provided.
- Who it is suitable for: People who are accustomed to using computers to handle tasks, those who are proficient in English, and those who want to clearly state their requirements in one go.
- Advantages: Formal, traceable, and ensures no information is overlooked.
- Disadvantage: The response time is slightly slow (1-2 days). If you need an immediate answer, it is recommended to contact us by phone or via WeChat.
Reservation Method 2: BeautsGO WeChat Mini Program – The most convenient reservation option for Chinese users, eliminating the need to use proxy services and ensuring instant responses from Chinese-speaking customer service.
If you are one of those young people who are most familiar with the internet, this method might be the most suitable for you. DayBeau Clinic offers Chinese-speaking customer service on WeChat. You can inquire about the details of various treatments or schedule appointments either through their official WeChat account or by adding them as friends directly.
The process for making an appointment via WeChat is roughly as follows: Add the official WeChat account → Send a message detailing the treatment you want and the desired date and time → The customer service will confirm available appointment slots → Fill in your basic information (name, passport number, contact details) → Receive a confirmation notice. If everything goes smoothly, the entire process can be completed within 30 minutes, and there are no barriers to communication in Chinese.
In addition to WeChat, DayBeau also collaborates with the BeautsGO platform. BeautsGO is a dedicated service platform for Chinese people planning to undergo medical beauty treatments in South Korea. On this platform, you can directly view the prices of DayBeau’s various services and available appointment times. With one-click reservation options and a Chinese-language interface, the prices are transparent, and there is no additional charge just because you are a foreigner. The card below will direct you directly to BeautsGO to check the latest prices:
- Who this is suitable for: People who are accustomed to using their smartphones for everything, need Chinese-speaking customer service, and want to see transparent pricing information.
- Advantages: Fast service, communication in Chinese, transparent pricing, and the ability to see available appointment times in real-time.
- Disadvantage: If you haven’t used WeChat before, it might take some time to register.
Reservation Method 3: Telephone reservation – This traditional but straightforward method is ideal when your travel plans are already finalized.
The third way is to directly call the DayBeau Gangnam store to make an appointment. This method is quite popular among tourists from Japan and Hong Kong, as it allows for the fastest confirmation via phone.
Precautions for making international calls: When calling from Taiwan, you need to dial +82 (the country code for South Korea) + the area code followed by the phone number. If the clinic provides Chinese-language service, you can simply say “I want to make a reservation” or “예약하고 싶어요” after the call is connected. If you are not sure how to express yourself, it is also acceptable to use English during the call, as long as you prepare the Korean names of the treatments you wish to undergo and your passport number.
There is another alternative: if you already have a medical beauty agent or representative in Taiwan, they can usually help you make the reservation by calling DayBeau on your behalf, saving you the trouble of making international calls. However, agents may charge a service fee, so making the reservation directly through BeautsGO is usually more cost-effective.
What are the prices at DayBeau’s Gangnam store? Let’s take a look at the costs of 8 popular treatments at a glance (comparison in ¥/NT$.
Among Taiwanese netizens, DayBeau is known as a “conscientious clinic with transparent pricing,” because all prices are clearly displayed on its official website and various platforms, and there are no last-minute price increases just because someone asks. Below are the reference prices for 8 popular treatments at DayBeau’s Gangnam branch, along with the conversion to New Taiwan dollars (1 NT$ ≈ 0.022 USD):
| Project Name | Price in Korean won (₩) | Approximately NT$ | Treatment Instructions |

| Volnewmer 300-round magazine | ₩250,000 | Approximately NT$5,500 | Golden V Sculpture |
| Onda targets double chin issues effectively. | ₩450,000 | Approximately NT$9,900 | Intensive Lipolysis |

This is precisely why so many Taiwanese are willing to travel all the way to Seoul for medical beauty treatments – the total cost, including airfare, is still more profitable.
6 important things to note when booking a service at DayBeau for the first time – avoid making any mistakes
- Be sure to confirm this. DayBeau Gangnam Branch does provide Chinese interpreters, but you must specify the need for translation when making an appointment; otherwise, you may be communicated with in Korean.
- Make sure to prepare your passport in advance – all medical procedures in Korea require the presentation of a passport, so please carry a copy with you.
- Reserve at least 2.5 hours – from registration, filling out forms, the consultation, applying anesthesia, the procedure itself to the post-treatment recovery, the entire process takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. Don’t schedule too tightly.
- Don’t schedule meetings during lunchtime — DayBeau. Our lunch break is from 13:00 to 14:00, and during this time, no one will answer calls or respond to WeChat messages.
- We are not open on Sundays and public holidays. During Korean public holidays such as Seolnal and Chuseok, all our clinics are closed. Please check the Korean calendar before scheduling an appointment.
- Do not drink alcohol the day before the procedure – alcohol can affect the effectiveness of the anesthetic and impede recovery after surgery. Doctors will always remind patients of this.

Q2: How much in advance should I make a reservation? It is rec
ommended to book 3-5 days in advance; for peak times (such as Saturday mornings or weekday evenings), it’s best to reserve a week in advance. If you need to make a last-minute reservation, contacting customer service via WeChat is the fastest way.
Q3: Is it possible to walk in on the same day? We don’t recommend it. DayBeau
operates on a reservation system, so walking in depends entirely on whether there are available slots at that time. It’s especially advisable for foreigners to make a reservation in advance; otherwise, waiting on-site could be both time-consuming and result in not being able to get in.
Q4: Is a deposit required for making an appointment? Generally, n
o deposit is needed for appointments, but some high-value treatments (such as the American version of the HIFU device) may require a partial prepayment. Make sure to clarify this during the appointment process.
Q5: What are the payment methods available?
Cash in Korean won, Korean credit cards, and certain international credit cards (Visa/Mastercard). It is recommended to bring cash, as international card transactions at Korean cosmetic clinics may incur additional fees.
Q6: What are the differences between the Gangnam store and the Hongdae store? The Gangnam
store is a three-story standalone building with more spacious premises and a more private environment; the Hongdae store is located inside a commercial complex, making transportation very convenient. Both stores are directly-operated branches of the same brand, so the medical teams and prices are identical in both places.
Q7: Can I fly on the same day after undergoing cosmetic procedures? Most non-invasive tre
atments (such as INMODE or hyaluronic acid injections) allow for normal activities on the same day. For procedures that require a recovery period, such as ultrasound-assisted treatments, it is recommended to stay in Korea for an additional 1-2 days to monitor any potential side effects.
