Essential Dermatology Review at She Tang Aisinxiu | 9.1-star rating from locals, treated personally by Director Ryu Ju-hee – read real customer experiences on Dcard in one article

Recently, I came across a bunch of posts on Dcard from local girls in South Korea recommending the Dermatology clinic at She Tang, praising it for its “fair prices and attentive doctors who don’t push unnecessary treatments.” Its rating even reached 9.1! Out of curiosity, I did some research and found that this Essential Dermatology clinic has accumulated over 300 genuine reviews on Naver. The clinic is led by Dr. Ryu Ju-hee, who personally sees patients and specializes in treating sensitive skin and offering anti-aging treatments. As someone who has already traveled to Seoul multiple times for medical aesthetics procedures, I decided to compile all the available information into a single article to help you decide whether this clinic is worth adding to your list of places to visit.

I. What kind of clinic is Essential Dermatology? Why do local users on Dcard rate it 9.1/10?

Location and First Impression: Eisen Show is located on the 8th floor of the JBI Building on Bangbaekcheon-ro in Seocho-gu, Seoul, just a 5-minute walk from Sadeong Station. Seocho-gu itself is one of Seoul’s affluent areas, home to Lotte Department Store and other large shopping malls, making it convenient to go shopping after your consultation. The clinic features a minimalist interior design dominated by white tones, with curved sofas and marble tables in the waiting area. Overall, it gives off a clean and quiet atmosphere, far less crowded than typical Dermatology clinics.

Where does the 9.1 rating come from? Reviews on Dcard and Naver consistently highlight three things: ① The doctors conduct thorough consultations and never push unnecessary additional treatments; ② There are no unexpected extra charges after the treatment; ③ The instructions for recovery care are very clear. One user on Dcard wrote, “After undergoing Onda facial Lifting, the doctor even went out of his way to lower the energy level for me since I have sensitive skin—such attention to detail is really rare.”

Source of ratings	Rating	Most frequently searched keywords
Dcard South Korea Board	9.1 / 10	No sales pressure, transparent pricing, personally diagnosed by Director Liu
Naver Maps	4.8 / 5	Brand-new equipment, excellent facilities, and smooth translation service
BeautsGO users	4.7 / 5	Easy to book, friendly to foreigners

II. Who is Director Ryu Ju-hee? Understand her qualifications and expertise at a glance

Dr. Yu Ju-hee is the cornerstone of Aisenxiu. She personally handles all consultations and treatments, rather than delegating them to assistants or resident doctors. With over 15 years of experience in Dermatology, she specializes in restoring sensitive skin, treating scars, and offering facial lifting procedures to combat aging. Unlike many dermatologists in South Korea, Dr. Yu prefers a more conservative approach—she would rather have patients undergo fewer treatments than push unnecessary procedures for the sake of sales.

Her treatment philosophy can be summed up in one sentence: “Repair the skin’s foundation first, then focus on improvement.” If you have sensitive skin, tend to get redness, or have had issues with treatments elsewhere, her cautious approach is actually a form of protection.

Areas of Expertise	Indications	Sample Treatment Plan
Sensitive Skin Repair	Redness, peeling, and compromised barrier function	REJURAN Regeneration Injection + LED
Scars/Acne Scars	Sunken acne scars, pigmentation	Laser Skin Resurfacing + Pico Laser Treatment
Facial Lift and Anti-Aging Treatment	Loose skin, blurred jawline, Nasolabial Fold Correction	ONDA Microwave Lifting/HIFU
Filling and Contouring	Sunken temples and sagging Apple Zone	Filler / Collagen injections

III. What treatments does Aisenxiu Dermatology offer? Latest price guide for 2026 (How much is the difference between Taiwan and South Korea?)

Aisen Show’s pricing strategy is considered moderately affordable among Dermatology clinics in Seoul, with no hidden fees. A written quote will be provided during the in-person consultation, and treatment will only begin after it’s approved. Here are the reference prices for 2026 (based on information from BeautsGO):

Treatment Options	Reference price in South Korea	Approximate price in Taiwan	How much can you save
Rejuran PN 2CC + Regenerative Laser	₩319,000	NT$12,000~15,000	About 40%
ONDA Microwave Lifting (Full Face)	Starting from ₩75,000	NT$18,000~25,000	Around 50%+

⚠️ The prices listed above are for reference only; the actual cost will be subject to the hospital’s current quote. The exchange rate is based on that of July 2026 (1 ₩ ≈ NT$0.024) and is provided solely for comparative purposes.

IV. From the Subway to the End of the In-Person Consultation: A Complete Guide to How Foreigners Can Get Treatment at She Tang

For those visiting a Dermatology clinic in South Korea for the first time, the biggest concern is likely the language barrier and not knowing what to expect. I’ve broken down the entire process into 5 simple steps—just follow them and you’ll stay organized throughout your visit.

Steps	What needs to be done	time	A quick tip
①	Book in advance through BeautsGO	It’s recommended to do it 3–5 days in advance.	Select the Traditional Chinese interface and fill in your basic information.
②	Take the subway to Setang Station	Approximately 30–40 minutes (from Hongdae/Gangnam)	You can get there via Line 2 or Line 4; Exit 3 is the closest.
③	5 minutes	Show the appointment confirmation email or phone screenshot
④	In-person consultation with Dr. Liu (including translation)	15–20 minutes	A translation specialist will accompany you throughout the process, allowing you to list everything you’d like to ask.
⑤	Treatment → Ice compress → Leave	20–60 minutes (depending on the procedure)	You’ll receive an aftercare guide after the procedure.

Don’t worry about language at all. Aisenxiu offers Chinese translation services, with a professional translator who will accompany you from registration to the end of the consultation. Many Dcard users have specifically mentioned that the translation “isn’t machine-generated — it’s someone who truly understands your needs before conveying them to the doctor.” If you have specific skin concerns you’d like to discuss, it’s recommended to write them down in Chinese in your phone notes ahead of time; showing them to the translator directly will make the process more efficient.

V. Real experiences from Dcard users: The 3 most frequently mentioned highlights and 2 things to keep in mind

I spent two nights scrolling through the South Korea version of Dcard and Naver reviews to identify the highlights and things to keep in mind that people kept mentioning. All of this is based on real feedback from people who have actually been there—nothing staged or promotional.

Type	Key Points	Frequency of Appearance
✅ Highlights	Dr. Liu doesn’t push sales: He’ll proactively let you know what procedures aren’t necessary during the in-person consultation.	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most frequently mentioned
	Transparent pricing: No hidden fees—everything is clearly listed on the quote	⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
	Comfortable environment: Not as cold or crowded as regular clinics	⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
⚠️ Attention needed	It’s hard to book on weekends: It’s recommended to go on an afternoon day or before a workday.	Many people have reported it
	The guesthouse is not located in the tourist area: there are no shopping streets on par with Myeongdong nearby.	Mentioned sparingly

A Dcard user who underwent three REJURAN treatments at Aisen Show summarized it like this: “I was skeptical my first time there, since the price was much lower than I expected. But after three treatments, my skin condition really stabilized a lot—the redness decreased significantly, and each time, the doctor would adjust the treatment plan based on the previous results. This kind of ‘ongoing follow-up’ approach really put me at ease.”

VI. Is This Dermatology Practice Right for You? 3 Questions to Help You Decide Quickly

After reading the above information, you might still be hesitating about whether to include it in your schedule. Answer the following 3 questions, and the answer will become clear on its own:

Problem	If your answer is…	Suggestions
① What do you mainly want to do?	Sensitive Skin Repair / Scars / Lift & Anti-Aging / Filling	→ Perfect! These are exactly Dr. Liu’s strengths.
② What’s your budget range?	Single session: ₩25,000 ~ ₩320,000 (approximately NT$600 ~ NT$7,700)	→ It offers excellent value for money, costing 40%~55% less than in Taiwan.
③ What do you value most?	In-person consultation by a doctor + no sales pressure + Chinese-speaking service	→ Perfect match — this place was created just for you.

My honest verdict: If this is your first time seeking medical beauty treatments in South Korea, or if you didn’t get satisfactory results from previous procedures in Taiwan/Hong Kong and are looking for a doctor who will truly listen to your needs, Aisenxiu Essential is a safe, cost-effective option that’s also friendly toward foreigners. Its strengths lie not in being the cheapest or the most well-known, but rather in delivering reliable doctors, transparent pricing, and hassle-free experiences—all at once.

The only thing to consider is that Syetang isn’t located in Seoul’s most popular tourist areas (it’s not as convenient as Hongdae or Gangnam). But if you’re already planning to visit Seocho or Gangnam, or if you don’t mind an extra 10 minutes on the subway, this factor won’t affect your decision at all.

Q1: Do foreigners need to bring their passports? How far in advance should they make a reservation?

You must bring your original passport for registration. It’s recommended to book at least 3–5 days in advance through the BeautsGO platform, as slots often fill up quickly on weekends and during peak seasons (summer and winter holidays).

Q2: Can I apply makeup right after the treatment? How many days do I need to rest?

It depends on the procedure. For injection treatments (such as REJURAN and Filler), you can apply makeup normally on the day of the treatment. For laser treatments, it’s recommended to wait 1–2 days before putting on makeup. Dr. Liu will explain your specific recovery timeline after the procedure.

Q3: If I’m not satisfied with the results, can it be retouched?

Sure. Aisen Show offers free follow-up consultations after the procedure (usually 2–4 weeks after treatment), during which Director Liu will determine whether further treatments or adjustments are needed based on the actual results.

Q4: What age group is it suitable for? Can guys use it?

The target audience is women aged 25 to 45, but the number of male clients is also on the rise (especially for acne scar treatment and HIFU lifting). Both men and women are welcome without any restrictions.
