II. Why I Chose Aisen Show — I Couldn’t Go Back After Just Two Sessions
I first visited Aisenxiu last October. At that time, I had darker spots on my face and enlarged Pores. A clinic in Gangnam that was recommended by internet celebrities suggested five treatment options for me. The bill came to nearly 800,000 Korean won, yet the results were rather average.
On my second visit, a friend recommended Aisenxiu. Her reasoning was: “Director Ryu has been the head doctor at You&I in Cheongdam-dong for 10 years, and after opening her own clinic, she’s continued in that role for another 10 years. Such experience counts as quite solid in South Korea’s Dermatology field. Plus, the rent in Setang is lower than in Gangnam, so prices are more affordable, yet the equipment remains the latest models available.”
I scheduled my appointment for 3 p.m. on Wednesday. Three days in advance, I communicated via LINE in English (they have a Chinese translator) to confirm the procedures I wanted to have done. Once I arrived at the clinic, there was no need to wait in line—after checking in, I went straight into the treatment room.
My first impression of Director Liu: he speaks in a calm, deliberate manner, going through the results from the skin analysis device one by one to explain which issues need to be addressed first and which can wait until another visit. I had prepared 10 questions, but he covered 8 on his own, saying that for the remaining 2, “It’s not recommended for your situation—results won’t be significant, and it’s not worth the cost.”
This is what I mean by “integrity” — in South Korea’s cosmetic surgery industry, there are far fewer doctors who are willing to tell you what not to do compared to those who push their services aggressively.
III. The Three Core Principles of Medical Practice — This Is Why South Koreans Are Willing to Queue Up
💊
Authentic products
All medications and equipment have been approved by South Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS), and we strictly refuse to use products of unknown origin.
📏
Quantification
Use it at the standard dosage—neither reduce it to cut costs nor increase it to charge a premium. The exact amount used per session and the expected results will be clearly explained before the procedure.
🤝
Integrity
We don’t promote unnecessary procedures, make promises about unattainable results, or hide potential side effects. Dr. Liu’s own words are: “Your skin isn’t a test subject—we only do what we’re confident in.”

Note: The prices listed above are reference rates for 2026. The actual price will be subject to what the clinic announces on the day of consultation. First-time visitors can request a free skin analysis; only after the analysis will it be decided whether to proceed with any treatments, and no pressure will be exerted to make a purchase.
If you’re comparing different clinics, the comprehensive guide I put together earlier on Gangnam’s V Dermatology is also worth checking out. That clinic is ideal for those who want to shop along the way (it’s right next to Gangnam Station), while Aisenxiu is better suited for those who prefer to focus solely on treatment and avoid unwanted sales pitches.
V. Side-by-Side Comparison of Dermatology Services in She Tang District — Where Aixinsiu Has an Edge
There are actually 4-5 Dermatology clinics around Saetang Station. I did some research before going for a in-person consultation, and here’s a side-by-side comparison I put together (based on real reviews from South Korea-based forums plus my own personal experience):

Conclusion: If you value “no sales pressure” and “smooth communication in Chinese,” Aisen Show is the top choice in Seto Ward. If you just want a basic cleansing treatment or a simple laser procedure, Seto Clinic B is also an option, but since there’s no Chinese service available, you’ll need to communicate in English or use translation software.
VI. The Complete Process at the Clinic — No Need to Worry Even on Your First Visit
1
Make an advance reservation (it’s recommended to book 3–7 days in advance).
You can make an appointment through LINE or the BeautsGO platform. The staff handling Chinese bookings will help arrange a suitable time. I recommend avoiding weekends, as there are fewer clients on weekdays, giving the clinic director more available time.
2
Check-in at the hospital (1-minute walk from Exit 14 of She Tang Station)
The clinic is on the 2nd floor. After taking the elevator up, the front desk will verify your appointment details. First-time visitors need to fill out some basic information (a Chinese version is available), which takes about 5 minutes.
3
Skin Type Test + Consultation with the Director (about 20-30 minutes)
The skin type is analyzed using professional equipment, and Director Liu will provide recommendations based on the results. There’s absolutely no sales pressure here—she answers whatever you ask, and she won’t push anything unless you ask.
Once the procedures to be performed are finalized, the price will be confirmed again in writing, along with instructions for pre-surgery precautions. All prices are fixed at this stage, with no additional charges added later.
5
Procedure + Post-operative Care Guidance
The duration of the treatment varies depending on the procedure, usually ranging from 30 to 60 minutes. After the treatment, you’ll receive a Chinese-language guide outlining post-operative care instructions, along with a LINE contact number so you can ask any questions directly.
VII. Some tips for first-time visitors to Aisen Show
💡
Get a skin type test in advance: First-time visitors can request a free skin type test at the clinic. Decide on the procedures after the test—don’t finalize anything before you’ve even had your skin tested.
⏰
Avoid weekends: Locals in South Korea also visit on weekends, resulting in longer waiting times. weekdays between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM are the least busy times, giving the clinic director more availability.
📅
Treatment interval: For dual Q-switched laser therapy, it is recommended to have sessions every 2–3 weeks, while for Rejuran, sessions should be done once a month. Don’t overdo it—your skin needs time to recover.
💰
Get more discounts by paying in cash: Aisen Show accepts cash, credit cards, and bank transfers. From my experience, paying in cash sometimes comes with an extra discount (around 5%), so be sure to ask in advance.
💬 Frequently Asked Questions FAQ
How to book a consultation at Aesenseo in South Korea
In short: You can make appointments 3–7 days in advance through the BeautsGO platform or LINE, with Chinese-speaking staff available to help arrange them. For your first visit, it’s recommended to schedule it during weekdays between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM, as the director will have more free time and can conduct a more thorough consultation.
How to set up the Chinese service for Essence Show Essential
Bottom line: The clinic has full-time Chinese translators available to accompany patients throughout the pre- and post-surgery process. You can discuss your needs in English via LINE in advance, and upon arrival, the translator will help you connect with Director Liu—so there’s absolutely no need to worry about language barriers.
How to get to Aisenxiu fastest from Setang Station
In short: Exit No. 14 at Seotang Station on the subway, and it’s only a 1-minute walk to the clinic, which is located on the 2nd floor. It takes about 20 minutes by subway from Myeongdong, and around 25 minutes from Gangnam Station. Once you exit the station, just follow Seotang-ro Main Street.
Is Aisenxiu worth the trip compared to Gangnam Dermatology?
Bottom line: If you value “no unwanted sales pitches” and “consultations with the director in person,” it’s worth it. She Tang’s rent is cheaper than that in Gangnam—about 30–50% lower—but the equipment and doctors’ qualifications remain on par. Personally, I think you can save enough money to stay at a hotel for one night.
Are the 9.1 ratings on South Korea’s platforms genuine?
To sum it up: these are genuine reviews. The review systems on local platforms in South Korea are stricter than those on Dcard/PTT, requiring real-name verification before leaving comments. I checked over 50 reviews, with negative feedback mainly focusing on “long wait times on weekends,” while positive comments centered around “no sales pressure” and “natural results.”
What procedures are most suitable for first-time visitors to Aisen Show?
In short: It’s recommended to start with a free skin assessment first, so that Dr. Liu can give you personalized advice based on your specific condition. Typically, Taiwanese women opt for dual Q-switched laser treatment (for removing spots) or Rejuran treatment (for moisturization) on their first visit. These two treatments have a fast recovery time, allowing you to wear makeup right away—making them ideal for those trying medical beauty treatments for the first time.
Will Aisen Show charge an extra fee during the procedure?
Bottom line: No. This is also the main reason why I’m willing to follow up. All procedures and prices are confirmed in writing before the treatment, and work only begins after you sign. There will be no price increases for any reason during the process. If you want to add extra procedures last minute, the price will be confirmed separately, and it will only proceed with your consent.
