How to Make an Appointment at South Korea’s Muse Dermatology | Why Do Even South Koreans Choose This Chain Store in Gangnam?

韓國Muse繆慈皮膚科

In a nutshell: Muse Dermatology is the largest chain of dermatology clinics in South Korea, with 23 branches throughout the country. Its main clinic in Gangnam is a four-story building with transparent pricing – the same prices as in China – and state-of-the-art equipment. After visiting many dermatology clinics in South Korea, I believe it is the perfect choice for beginners.

However, it does have its drawbacks. Due to its large scale and high footfall, if you’re looking for the intimate, personalized experience of a small clinic where the director takes the time to talk with each patient one-on-one, Muse might not be right for you. But if what you value are high efficiency, standardized procedures, and transparent pricing, then it truly has few competitors.

In this article, I will share in detail the entire process from making an appointment to leaving the clinic, including how to get there, what to pay attention to during the consultation, which treatments are worth considering, approximate prices, and, most importantly, how to use BeautsGO’s online booking system to make the whole process as hassle-free as possible. All of these are my own real experiences, without any exaggeration.

I. Why do South Koreans themselves go to Muse muse?

The waiting hall of Muse Dermatology, muse, is spacious and comfortable.

I first heard the name Muse when a Korean friend I met while studying in Seoul recommended it to me. She said, “Just walk along Gangnam-daero, and every few steps, you’ll see a purple Muse building—it’s that one.”

It was only after I actually visited Gangnam Da-ro that I realized she wasn’t exaggerating at all. Muse has two buildings in the Gangnam district—the main building (452 Gangnam Da-ro) and the new building (458 Gangnam Da-ro), which are only 3 minutes apart on foot and cover a total area of over 1,500 square meters. Just this scale alone is already quite telling in the highly valuable Gangnam district.

Muse muse is not some niche online celebrity clinic; it is the “Starbucks” of South Korea’s Dermatology industry – with standardized procedures, chain operations, and consistent quality. It has 23 branches across South Korea, located in Gangnam, Myeongdong, Hongdae, Incheon, Busan, and Daegu. With dual licenses in Dermatology and Plastic Surgery and a team of over 15 specialist physicians, Muse muse offers more than 200 treatments, ranging from basic skincare to surgical procedures.

To share a genuine observation: I spent about 20 minutes waiting in the waiting area of the Gangnam General Hospital, and I noticed that there were far more local South Koreans coming in and out than foreigners. Although the reception staff could speak Chinese, most of the people sitting nearby were office workers and students who spoke Korean. In fact, this is not something particularly common in Dermatology clinics located in the popular Gangnam area, which is frequented by many tourists.

II. Basic Information about Muse Dermatology 🏥

Let me first provide you with the most practical basic information. You can simply take a screenshot and save it away:

📍 Key transportation information: Exit Exit 6 of Sinnonhyeon Station on Line 9 of the subway, and you will immediately see Muse’s purple building – you won’t get lost at all. If you are coming from Gangnam Station on Line 2, exit Exit 11 and it will take about 8 minutes to get there. There are many medical beauty clinics along the way, so it’s also a great opportunity to take a stroll 😄

Let’s get to the key points: The prices at Muse are considered moderately low in the Gangnam area. Due to their large scale and high volume of purchases, they are able to keep the cost of consumables under control, giving them a competitive advantage over smaller clinics. Most importantly, both foreigners and South Koreans pay the same price – there is no additional charge just because you hold a foreign passport. This is really a significant advantage.

The following are the main items I have listed along with their reference prices (unit: Korean won):

Project Reference price (Korean won) Suitable for various groups
💉 Contour needles (for slimming the face) 49,000 cases Masseter hypertrophy and the desire for a V-shaped face
✨ Tightening Threads (Lifting) 30,000 cases Loose jawline and Double Chin

IV. My actual experience process 🔍

1. Make an appointment

I made the reservation through BeautsGO, and the whole process took less than 5 minutes. Just open BeautsGO, search for “Muse” or “muse”, select the desired date and time slot, and submit the request – that’s it.

Why recommend using BeautsGO instead of making a direct phone call? There are three reasons for this:

1️⃣ Chinese-language interface, so you don’t have to worry about communication issues in Korean.
2️⃣ Immedia
te confirmation: you will receive a notification as soon as your reservation is successful.
3️⃣ Customer ser
vice will follow up with you. If there are any schedule conflicts, they will take the initiative to contact you and make necessary adjustments.

This is really a big inconvenience for those who don’t speak Korean. I once tried to make a reservation by phone at another clinic, but they only spoke Korean. I had to use a translation app on my phone to communicate for a full 20 minutes before we could finally get things sorted out…

2. Report to the hospital

Arriving at Muse Gangnam Main Hospital at the scheduled time, you will find the first floor empty (it resembles a mall lobby). Take the elevator to the second floor, where you will encounter the reception area. At the front desk, there is an electronic waiting list screen that supports four languages: Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Thai. Simply enter your reservation information to get a number and wait in the lounge area for your turn.

The lounge area is very spacious and is equipped with free WiFi, water dispensers, and charging stations. I went there on a weekday afternoon, and it only took about 15 minutes before I was called. The overall atmosphere is nothing like that of a hospital; it’s more similar to that of a high-end SPA center.

3. In-person consultation

I have to be honest about this. Muse’s consultation process is quite standardized and efficiency-oriented; it’s nothing like some smaller clinics that would spend half an hour chatting with you. The director will first assess the condition of your skin and then immediately provide you with a treatment plan. The whole process takes around 10 to 15 minutes.

But this doesn’t mean it’s not professional at all – on the contrary, the director’s judgment was very accurate. When I mentioned that I wanted to improve my Pores and uneven skin tone, after reviewing my skin test report, he immediately recommended a combination of Honeycomb Pico treatment and Hyaluronic Acid injections. He also specifically reminded me, “Your skin barrier is relatively thin, so don’t use too much energy at once; splitting the treatment into two sessions will yield better results.”

This really reassures me – it’s not the kind of clinic that would make you do anything just to meet performance targets.

Muse Muse Dermatology Incheon Branch
Incheon · Dermatology · Minimally Invasive Aesthetics

South Korea’s largest chain of Dermatology clinics, with a separate 4-story building located at the Gangnam headquarters. A team of over 15 specialist physicians offers more than 200 treatments, including Thermage FLX, Honeycomb Pico, and Rejuran PN – all at the same prices as in South Korea. Making reservations online through BeautsGO is the most convenient way to schedule appointments.

V. Summary of the strengths and weaknesses of Muse muse ⚖️

After visiting so many Dermatology clinics in South Korea, I have compiled the most accurate list of CDU’s strengths and weaknesses—without holding anything back.

👍 Advantages

1️⃣ Large scale and stable quality: With 23 chain branches and standardized SOP procedures, the experience at any branch will be largely similar. Equipment is also updated promptly; machines newly launched in 2025 are usually available at Muse within the same year.

2️⃣ The same prices for Chinese and foreigners – this is really rare in Gangnam. Many clinics immediately charge an additional 20-30% as soon as they see a foreign passport, but Muse doesn’t do this at all; their price list is completely transparent and open to everyone.

3️⃣ Comprehensive Chinese-language services: The front desk staff can assist customers in Chinese, the reservation system supports Chinese language, and the official website is also available in Chinese. For those who don’t speak Korean, communication is virtually barrier-free.

4️⃣ Night outpatient services are available until 9 pm: This is really convenient! I finished my treatment that day and it was already 8 pm; I didn’t need to ask for leave at all – I could just come right after work.

👎 Disadvantages

1️⃣ The time for in-person consultations is relatively short: Due to the high volume of patients, the pace of these consultations is quite fast. If you are someone who prefers to have in-depth conversations and ask many questions, you may find that the consultations are not thorough enough.

2️⃣ More like an assembly-line experience: Although standardized processes ensure quality, they also lack a certain level of personal touch. If what you’re looking for is the feeling of “the director remembers your name, and every visit feels like coming home”, then Muse might not be right for you.

3️⃣ Popular directors are hard to schedule: Some well-known directors, such as the previously popular Xia Yinhuan, have extremely full schedules, so it is recommended to book at least 2 weeks in advance.

If this is your first time undergoing medical beauty treatments in South Korea and you are looking for a Dermatology clinic with formal procedures, no hidden fees, and excellent communication, Muse is a very safe choice. However, if you are an experienced professional seeking more personalized services, you may wantmatologyonger and more detailed in-person consultations by their directors.

VI. Booking appointments for consultations: Use BeautsGO – it’s the fastest way 📱

To summarize, here are the most recommended ways to make appointments:

Step 1: Open BeautsGO (search for the “BeautsGO” mini-program on WeChat or download the APP).
Step 2: Search for “Mu
se” or “muse”.
Step 3: Select “Muse Hospital Incheon B
ranch” or Gangnam Main Campus.
Step 4: Choose the date and time
slot.
Step 5:
Fill in your basic inform
ation and submit the reservation request.
Step 6:
Receive the confirmation notice, and that’s it!

The whole process takes less than 5 minutes – 100 times faster than making a phone call! 😂

If you need to change the time at short notice or have any special requirements, the customer service team at BeautsGO will also be happy to assist you in making the arrangements. I once had to change my appointment schedule at the last minute, and the customer service helped me adjust it without any problems whatsoever.

VII. Tips & Precautions 📝

Finally, I would like to share with you some small tips based on my own experiences:

🔹 Make an appointment 2 weeks in advance: Especially during weekends and for popular doctors, it’s almost impossible to get a reservation if you wait too
late. 🔹 Prepare 2–3 alternative time slots: Providing multiple options when booking will increase the efficiency of the customer service team in making arrangements. 🔹 B
ring your passport: It will be required for identity verification upon arrival. 🔹
Do not wear makeup on the day of treatment: You will need to remove your makeup during the consultation, so it’s better to go without any makeup
at all. 🔹 Avoid flying immediately after treatment: For some laser treatments, it is not recommended to fly within 48 hours after the procedure. Please take this into account when planning your travel sch
edule. 🔹 Ask clearly about post-treatment care: The climate in South Korea is different from that in Taiwan, so the products needed for moisturizing and sun protection after treatment will also vary. Be sure to inquire in detail.

VIII. Frequently Asked Questions ❓

Q1: How far in advance should one make an appointment at Muse Dermatology?

A: For general procedures, it is recommended to make an appointment 1–2 weeks in advance. If the surgeon is very popular or if the procedure is scheduled during the weekend, it is advisable to book 2–3 weeks in advance. For surgical treatments such as Double eyelid surgery or rhinoplasty, it is necessary to schedule at least 1 month in advance.

Q2: Can I still visit Muse if I don’t know Korean?

A: Absolutely! Muse offers Chinese-speaking receptionists, a Chinese reservation system, and its official website also supports Chinese. If you make a reservation through BeautsGO, the entire process will be conducted in Chinese, so you don’t have to worry about any language barriers at all.

Q3: Are the prices at Muse Dermatology really the same as those in South Korea?

A: Yes, Muse implements an ILCHI-based pricing policy, offering the same prices to both foreigners and South Koreans. This is relatively rare among medical beauty clinics in Gangnam District; many other clinics charge foreigners an additional 20-30% in fees.

Q4: What are the differences between Muse muse and ordinary small-scale Dermatology clinics?

A: The main differences lie in scale and the degree of standardization. Muse is South Korea’s largest chain of Dermatology clinics, with 23 branches. It features rapid equipment updates, well-established SOPs, and transparent pricing. Small clinics, on the other hand, offer longer consultation times and more personalized services. If you value efficiency and reliability, choose Muse; if you prefer a higher level of customization, you may want to refer to my previous article comparp you make an informed decision.

Q5: How long does it take to see the results after completing the treatment?

A: The time it takes for different treatments to take effect varies. Botulinum toxin/Filler injections usually show results within 3 to 7 days; laser/Pico treatments take about 1 to 2 weeks; anti-aging procedures such as Thermage yield the most noticeable results after 1 to 3 months (since Collagen requires time to regenerate).

Q6: Can I pay for Muse using a credit card?

A: Yes, we accept major credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, and UnionPay, as well as cash payments. Some services also offer installment options; for details, please consult us in-person.

IX. Conclusion 💭

Having written this far, I believe that Muse Dermatology is most suitable for the following three types of people:

✅ For beginners going to South Korea for medical aesthetics treatments for the first time – the process is standardized, and you won’t encounter any
problems. ✅ If you don’t speak Korean but want to receive skin care treatments in South Korea – Chinese-speaking services are available and w
ell-established. ✅ For those who value cost-effectiveness and efficiency – the prices are transparent, and night consultations are available until 9 pm.

Not very suitable for: Those who seek highly personalized services and prefer one-on-one conversations with the clinic director. If you fall into this category, you may want to check out my previous which contains many more clinics with different styles to choose from.

In short, Muse is not perfect, but it is certainly the least likely choice to result in mistakes. If you are still hesitating about which Dermatology clinic in South Korea to choose, starting with Muse is definitely a decision you won’t regret.
