By 變美體驗官 Many people want to visit the Secret Clinic in South Korea, but they get stuck at the step of “not knowing how to make an appointment” – they are worried about language barriers, unsure about how much in advance they should book, and don’t know what to do once they arrive. 😮
Explain the entire reservation process in detail, from “selecting a platform” to “the day of arrival at the clinic” – every step is covered. Beginners can follow this sequence directly without having to look up additional information.
Let’s first take a look at the basic information about secret Dermatology. 📍
Before making an appointment, it is important to understand the basic information about this clinic:
| Project | Content |
|---|---|
| Name of the institution | Secret Clinic of Dermatology, secret |
| Address | 5th Floor, Nanying Building, 458 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul |
| transportation | Exit 10 of Gangnam Station on Line 2 of the subway, about a 3-minute walk |
| Monday/Wednesday/Friday | 10:30 – 19:00 |
| Tuesday/Thursday | 10:30 – 20:00 (Late-night consultation services are available) |
| Saturday/Sunday | 10:30 – 17:30 |
| Consultation fee | ₩20,000 (approximately 100 RMB, which can be deducted after the procedure is completed) |
| Language services | Chinese, English, Korean |
⚠️ It is important to note that the number of consultation slots available with Director Zhao Yuxiang is very limited. During peak seasons (around holidays and on weekends), it is generally necessary to book a slot 1-2 weeks in advance. Do not assume that you can simply go whenever you want; planning in advance is essential.
Step 1: Which reservation channel should you choose? 📱
Secret offers several ways to make appointments. Let me help you compare which one is the most convenient:
| Method | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
| BeautsGO | Chinese-language interface, visible and available during specified hours, no need for a South Korea mobile phone number | It is necessary to schedule at least 1-2 days in advance. |
| Hospital official website | official channels | Primarily responding in English and Korean; responses may be slower. |
| Telephone/Email | You can provide detailed descriptions of your requirements. | Korean language is required, or waiting for a response. |
For beginners, BeautsGO is the top choice. Reasons: The interface is entirely in Chinese; you can check in real-time which time slots are available; there is no need to use a South Korea phone number; and you don’t have to go through the tedious process of communicating back and forth with customer service.

On the day of arrival at the clinic: What is the procedure? 🚶
It’s completely normal to feel unsure on your first attempt. Let’s go over the entire process of that day in detail:
| Steps | Content | Please note. |
|---|---|---|
| ① | Upon arrival at the clinic, please present your passport and reservation code. | Your passport must be brought along; without it, you will not be able to receive treatment. |
| ② | AI 3D skin detection (Visia) | If you come to the clinic without makeup, the data obtained after applying makeup will be inaccurate. |
| ③ | The director conducts a personal consultation, interprets the report, and confirms the treatment plan. | For communication in Chinese, feel free to ask any questions at any time. |
| ④ | Apply the anesthetic and wait (about 30-45 minutes). | You can use your phone during this period of time 😌 |
| ⑤ | Formal treatment (60–90 minutes) | Independent treatment rooms offer excellent privacy. |
| ⑥ | Postoperative ice application combined with LED glow therapy; the nurse provided detailed care guidelines. | The Chinese version can be taken away. |
The entire process of arriving at the hospital is expected to take 3 to 4 hours, including waiting times. Make sure to schedule enough time for this; there is no need to rush to visit any tourist attractions on the same day.
What should be prepared before arriving at the clinic? ✅
By taking these steps in advance, the experience on that day will go much more smoothly.
- 📋 Going out with a natural look: Avoid using any concealer or BB cream; it is also recommended to keep your skincare routine as simple as possible (just water and lotion are enough).
- 📄 Verify the validity of your passport: You must register using your passport upon arrival at the clinic; without it, you will not be allowed to enter the treatment area. Don’t ask how I knew that… 😅
- 📝 Prepare a list of your skincare products: During the in-person consultation, the doctor may ask about the products you are using to determine if there are any potential ingredient conflicts.
- 💊 Discontinue certain medications: If you are taking aspirin or anticoagulants, stop taking them one week in advance and inform your doctor accordingly.
- ⏰ Arrive 10–15 minutes in advance: Registration and form filling take some time, so it’s better to arrive on time or a bit early.
- 📱 Keep the reservation confirmation screenshot: Make sure that the confirmation screenshot or reservation code from BeautsGO is saved in your phone’s gallery, so you can easily present it when needed.
