Abijou Hongdae medical-aesthetic experience

I was originally scheduled to travel to Seoul, South Korea in October, and happened to attend a consultation event held in Taiwan by Abijou Aesthetic Center and Creatrip beforehand. Although the consultation at that time was with the director and manager of the Gangnam branch, I later chose to book the Hongdae branch for my first medical aesthetic experience in Korea because of considerations about where I would be staying.
We had an appointment at 10:30 AM on 10/20. It’s very close to Exit 1 of Metro Line 2, just a short walk. As soon as we entered the lobby, the bright lighting and comfortable overall environment stood out, and there was an automatic unmanned coffee machine service—everything felt fresh. We started with a skin analysis using a machine, and Hye Ji, who has worked in Taiwan, served us, so there were no language issues. On the day, Consultation Manager Yeon Ji organized suitable treatments for each of us and patiently explained them, so it didn’t feel stressful.
The services I provide include
1. All-in-one Pico + Mela Skin
2. Titanium 80 kJ
3. Eye Thermage 225 shots
4. Juvederm nasolabial folds 2cc + chin 1cc
5. Stem cells 60cc + plasma infusion service
6. Skin Booster Injection Service
4. Eye-area and chin Botox services, totaling 4,363,920 KRW, tax refund 360,000 KRW. To be honest, I didn't do much research beforehand, but it felt like I had many procedures done and it seemed quite a good deal~
From the actual procedure to the end it seemed to take a little over 4 hours. There were a lot of people that day, but comparatively each step didn’t require too long a wait, so it felt pretty tight on schedule! Although they applied numbing cream and gave an anesthetic injection, getting the PRP injection was really painful — my eye sockets teared up. Fortunately Hye Ji was by my side and kept explaining what the doctor was doing, which helped me be mentally prepared and feel more at ease. After the whole treatment, the head consultant Yeon Ji consulted with me, checked on us, and reminded us of some post-op precautions. Overall I was pretty satisfied with the experience. Even though it’s only been 4 days and my face is still swollen, I’m looking forward to the results in 1–2 weeks 😀
