Evidence
with sourcesI decided to visit this clinic after seeing many recommendations on Threads and Instagram. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. The prices advertised online were completely different from what I was quoted during the in-person consultation. Once I arrived, I was presented with an extremely high price that felt unreasonable. The staff were very pushy and kept insisting that I “needed” the treatment, even though I clearly felt unsure. The atmosphere was very uncomfortable and pressuring, and I ended up spending a long time trying to navigate the situation. The treatment process itself was very painful and distressing. I was put on multiple IV drips and had a lot of fluids administered. I purchased two areas of Ultraline as strongly recommended by the consultant, but I was shocked that one area took less than five minutes to complete. It felt completely disproportionate to the amount I was charged. Honestly, Onda Pro would have been much more cost-effective and reasonably priced in comparison. That night and the following day, I genuinely felt like I was going to collapse. When I stepped on the scale, I had gained almost 3 kg from all the IV fluids. My entire body was swollen and extremely painful. I had large areas of bruising where injections were performed, and even now—almost a month later since my February 5 treatment—the bruises have still not fully faded. For an entire month, the treated areas remained painful and heavily bruised. The whole experience was upsetting. Looking back, I feel taken advantage of and deeply regret my decision. I followed their post-treatment instructions carefully regarding diet and routine, yet after a month, there has been no visible slimming effect in the treated areas. Based on my experience, I question the authenticity of many sponsored posts online. It feels like the “after” photos may have been taken when patients were still swollen from IV fluids, creating a misleading impression before the swelling subsides. I cannot recommend this clinic based on my experience.
Source ↗Received the fat injection and outline for abdomen for both my husband and myself. I really did not like the lady consultant who consulted with us. I expressed my concern for pain and wanted to do just 1 treatment area to try out but she was extremely pushy and tried to upsell the treatment. Despite the fact the advertisement say x price for 1 treatment area she did not even go over that with us as an option. But just go straight forward to 4 abdomen treatment area with cutline machine. She also tried to upsell us to spend more than 1 million won by purchasing the most expensive package twice for both my husband and I so we can get perks from their membership. We rejected do the treatment twice and We end up choosing the more expensive package. Yet the consultant still try to sell us another machine for multiple treatment areas at the end. This is the most pushy medical clinic I’ve been to in Korea and I’ve been to multiple skincare and health clinics. Really dislike how patients concerns for pain are ignored and kept pushing for treatments. Also I showed them a 10% off discount code instead of using that she said I will just take tax off of your fees, we walked outside to see a tax refund machine…. We spent over 5700000 won (more than $4000 US dollars ) in treatment and the lady consultant still acts disappointed when we rejected a few other treatment she recommends. There’s a lack of both service and attitude. The only upside was I loved my Chinese translator she was very encouraging when I was getting the shots land the doctor is nice too. We still need to yet find out if treatment works or not but definitely not coming back because of the consultant attitude.
