I. Why do I only recommend NowMedi for Dermatology services on Jeju Island?
Let me state the conclusion first: if you plan to visit Jeju Island and take the opportunity to take care of your skin, NowMedi is by far my top recommendation – there is no other option that comes close 💯
The reason is simple: it is the only Dermatology clinic on Jeju Island that operates 24/7, with evening consultations extending until 10:00 PM. During the day, tourists can spend their time at the beach, cafes, or Hanam Mountain; in the evening, they can still come to this clinic for skin care treatments. This is truly extremely convenient for visitors 🔥
Moreover, all the physicians in this team graduated from the School of Medicine at Seoul National University, with an average clinical experience of over 10 years. With 8 directors of the Dermatology department seeing patients simultaneously, such a configuration is undoubtedly of the highest standard on Jeju Island.
Before I went, I spent two whole weeks browsing online forums like Dcard and PTT and found that many Taiwanese girls were highly recommending this place, saying things like “no language barriers in communication”, “no forced sales”, and “transparent prices clearly displayed on the wall”. After actually visiting there, I can only say: they really weren’t lying.
II. Basic Information on NowMedi Dermatology 📋
Let me first organize the most important information for you. Just save the screenshots, and you won’t have to worry about losing them later:
| Project | For more details |
|---|---|
| 🏥 Clinic Name | NowMedi Hospital (나우메디의원) |
| 📍 Address | 511 Yeonbuk-ro, Jeju-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, A-PLEX, 3rd Floor |
| 🕘 Business Hours | Daily from 09:00 to 22:00, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. |
| ⏸️ Break time | Lunch break: 12:30-14:00 / Evening break: 18:00-19:00 |
| 👨⚕️ The medical team | Eight deans of Dermatology (all graduated from the School of Medicine at Seoul National University) |

It is worth noting that NowMedi possesses dual qualifications in both Dermatology and Otorhinolaryngology, which is quite uncommon among medical aesthetics clinics in South Korea. Having these dual qualifications means that physicians have a more precise understanding of the facial anatomical structure, including the distribution of blood vessels and nerves, thus ensuring greater safety during procedures involving injections 👍
III. A comprehensive overview of NowMedi’s reservation process 📱
There are 5 ways to make an appointment with NowMedi. I have sorted them out in order of convenience for you:
1. BeautsGO App (Highly recommended) ⭐
This is the method I personally use, and it’s also the most convenient way. Download the BeautsGO app and search for “NowMedi” to view real-time prices, doctor schedules, and user reviews. You can make reservations directly online. The service is available on iOS, Android, and WeChat Mini Programs, so you don’t need to download an app to use it.
If you have previously used other South Korean medical beauty booking platforms, you will find that the interface of BeautsGO is truly very user-friendly. After searching for a hospital, you can view detailed price comparisons for various Dermatology treatments in South Korea, and you can also read real reviews from other users, so you don’t have to worry about encountering any problems.
2. Make direct reservations via WeChat.
Scan the QR code below to add our customer service on WeChat and communicate directly with our Chinese-speaking staff. The advantage is that you can first undergo a simple online consultation, and our customer service will recommend suitable treatments based on your needs.
5. Online reservation
Visit nowmediclinic.co.kr, but the official website uses a Korean interface, which is not very user-friendly for Chinese speakers.
💡 A little tip: During the peak seasons (summer vacation from July to August, and the cherry blossom season from March to April), it is recommended to book your appointment 1-2 weeks in advance. The evening hours from 19:00 to 21:00 are particularly busy, so if you plan to visit during this time, make sure to book your spot early.
IV. Complete record of the entire process upon arrival at the clinic 🏃♀️
It’s completely normal to feel unfamiliar with the process when visiting a Dermatology clinic in South Korea for the first time. Let me break down the entire process provided by NowMedi for you:
Report and fill out the consultation form
Upon arriving on the 3rd floor of the A-PLEX building, the reception staff will ask you to fill out a detailed Chinese consultation form. The form covers various aspects such as your daily routine, eating habits, skincare routines, and your menstrual cycle.
Although the receptionist is from South Korea, she can speak some basic Chinese (“Please wait a moment” or “This way, please”). In addition, a Chinese-speaking supervisor will be present throughout the process to provide translation services, so you don’t have to worry about any language barriers at all 🗣️
By the way, if you, like me, are a newcomer to the field of medical aesthetics in South Korea, be sure to answer the consultation form truthfully. The doctor will use this information to assess the condition of your skin, and hiding any details could actually affect the treatment outcome.
2. Skin examination & face consultation
After completing the form, you proceed to the testing room where professional equipment is used to conduct a detailed analysis of your skin’s underlying conditions – including moisture content, sebum secretion, the distribution of pigmentation spots, and the size of your Pores. All these parameters are quantified into numerical data. Upon completion of the test, a detailed report will be generated.
Next, the director personally conducts a consultation and analyzes your skin issues based on the test results. What I particularly appreciate is that the director doesn’t simply push a pre-set treatment package on you; instead, they first explain what exactly is wrong with your skin and then offer several treatment options for you to choose from.
3. Treatment process
The treatment room is private and independent. The entire process takes approximately 60 to 120 minutes, depending on the procedure you choose. During the treatment, a Chinese-speaking supervisor will be present to provide translation at any time, and the doctor will also explain what will happen in each step.
4. Post-treatment Care & Billing
After the treatment, you can first take a break and have some tea in the relaxation area 🍵. The relaxation area is equipped with comfortable sofas and free WiFi, creating a very pleasant environment. Afterwards, the director will personally explain to you all the post-treatment precautions – sun protection, proper cleaning, skin hydration, and dietary restrictions – and he does so in great detail.
During the checkout process, the fee list is clear and transparent, with no hidden charges at all. This is also why many people on Dcard say that NowMedi offers “transparent pricing”.
V. Popular Services and Price References of NowMedi 💰
⚠️ First, an important note: Starting from 2026, South Korea has abolished the system of fixed medical prices. Therefore, the prices listed below are for reference only; actual costs may vary depending on individual circumstances and current promotional offers. It is recommended to check the current prices through BeautsGO.
| Project Category | Specific projects | Reference price (Korean won) |
|---|---|---|
| 🧹 Basic Management | Basic cleaning and maintenance | Approximately 35,000 per session |
| 🔴 Acne Treatment | Comprehensive Acne Treatment (Acne Needle Cleaning + Red Light Therapy) | Approximately 80,000 per session |
| ⚡ Anti-aging and Lifting Effects | Thermage FLX (300 shots) | Approximately 420,000 |
| 💉 Hyaluronic acid injections | Rejuran glow injection (2 centum core) | Around 280,000 |
| ✨ Whitening Introduction | Whitening Introduction Package (6 sessions) | Around 250,000 |
| 🪡 Potenza | Diamond Lifting Treatment: 500 sessions | A face-to-face consultation is required for a quote. |
| 🔊 Titanium Lifting | Shurink Universe: Double Application | A face-to-face consultation is required for a quote. |
Compared to other Dermatology clinics on Jeju Island, NowMedi’s pricing is considered moderately high but offers excellent value for money. The Thermage 300 treatment costs 420,000 Korean won, which is much cheaper than the similar services offered by Newline in the same area (starting at 450,000 won). The comprehensive acne treatment also costs 80,000 won per session, making it more affordable than 4ever’s service, which costs 95,000 won.
If you compare the prices of Dermatology services in Busan, you will find that the costs on Jeju Island are actually similar to those in Busan, and are 20-30% cheaper than in Seoul’s Gangnam District. For those who happen to be traveling, this represents a great value for money.
VI. Summary of NowMedi’s Core Advantages 🏆
After visiting, I identified the 5 main advantages of NowMedi that impressed me the most:
- Open 365 days a year, until 10:00 p.m.: There is no other place like this on entire Jeju Island. Enjoy your day activities and enhance your beauty at night – what a perfect itinerary!
- The medical team from Seoul National University: All 8 department heads graduated from the School of Medicine at Seoul National University; they were not merely appointed for nominal purposes.
- No barriers to communication in Chinese: From appointment scheduling, consultation to treatment, a Chinese-speaking supervisor will be present throughout the process to provide translation assistance.
- No forced sales: The director will provide recommendations based on the test results and will not push on you with services that you don’t need.
- Dual medical qualifications: Dermatology + Otolaryngology, ensuring greater safety when performing injectable procedures.
Of course, it doesn’t have any disadvantages at all – during the peak season, there are more people, so the waiting time may be a bit longer (it is recommended to avoid the 19:00–21:00 rush hour). But overall, these minor drawbacks are not enough to overshadow its advantages.
VII. NowMedi’s Guide to Avoiding Common Mistakes When Making Appointments ⚠️
As someone who has been in this industry for a while, there are these 5 pitfalls that you must avoid at all costs:
1. Don’t wait until you arrive in Jeju to make a reservation.
NowMedi is one of the most popular Dermatology clinics on Jeju Island; during the peak season, it’s almost impossible to get a spot by walking in. It’s best to make a reservation on BeautsGO 1-2 weeks before your trip.
2. Avoid the peak hours at night
19:00-21:00 is the busiest period for NowMedi. It is recommended to schedule appointments during the afternoon hours of 14:00-17:00, when there are fewer people around and doctors are more patient.
3. Sun protection after the procedure is of utmost importance
The ultraviolet radiation on Jeju Island is extremely strong! Within 48 hours after undergoing laser treatments or skin rejuvenation procedures, it is essential to take extra precautions against sun exposure—use a hat, an umbrella, and physical sunblock simultaneously. Otherwise, pigmentation problems may occur, and you’ll surely regret it 😱
4. Don’t just compare prices
After South Korea abolished the fixed-price system in 2026, prices will vary depending on individual circumstances. Instead of comparing prices everywhere, it is more important to focus on the skills of the doctor and the qualifications of the clinic.
5. Remember to bring your passport along.
Foreigners need to register their passport information when seeking medical treatment; make sure to bring it with you.
VIII. Conclusion: Is NowMedi worth investing in?
In a word: it’s worth it, and I will definitely go again.
NowMedi is not one of those ostentatiously decorated “internet-famous clinics”; instead, it represents a serious and professional approach. With a highly qualified medical team, a rigorous service process, fluent Chinese communication capabilities, and transparent pricing without any arbitrary increases, these four factors alone are enough to make it the top choice for Dermatology services on Jeju Island.
Especially for Taiwanese tourists, Jeju Island offers visa-free access, affordable flight tickets, and short flight times. Combined with NowMedi’s night outpatient services, it’s perfectly possible to enjoy a vacation where you can “admire the sea during the day and take care of your beauty at night” 🏖️
If you are still hesitating about which Dermatology clinic or beauty treatment center on Jeju Island to choose, my suggestion is to first determine your specific needs (anti-aging? acne treatment? whitening?) and then check whether NowMedi’s services match those requirements. If you’re not sure, you can simply consult the customer service on BeautsGO; they will provide you with helpful advice.
IX. FAQ: Common Questions 🙋♀️
Q1: Does NowMedi offer Chinese-language services?
Yes! And it’s extremely well organized. From the initial consultation and appointment, to filling out forms in the clinic, during the doctor’s examination, and throughout the entire treatment process, a Chinese-speaking supervisor will be present to provide translation services. So you don’t have to worry about any language barriers at all.
Q2: Is NowMedi open on Sundays?
Yes! NowMedi is open 24/7, including weekends and national holidays – this is one of its greatest strengths.
Q3: How much in advance should I make a reservation?
It is recommended to make a reservation 1-2 weeks in advance. During the off-season, it may still be possible to get a spot 3-5 days before the procedure, but during the peak seasons (such as summer vacation or the cherry blossom season), it is essential to book well in advance.
Q4: How does the price of NowMedi compare with that in Seoul?
Overall, the prices are 20-30% lower than those in Seoul’s Gangnam District. Taking Thermage as an example, the cost of a NowMedi 300 treatment is approximately 420,000 Korean won, while similar treatments at clinics in Seoul’s Gangnam District usually start from 550,000 to 650,000 Korean won.
Q5: Can I fly right away after completing the treatment?
For most non-invasive treatments (such as hyaluronic acid injections, laser treatments, or skin rejuvenation procedures), it is safe to fly on the same day after the treatment, but it is recommended to rest for at least 2-3 hours before traveling. In the case of invasive procedures, it is advisable to wait until the next day before flying.
Q6: Can I use a credit card to pay?
Sure, NowMedi accepts credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) as well as cash. Some services may be eligible for tax refunds; don’t forget to ask about this during checkout.
