START WITH THE CONCERN
Which one is for what you actually want?
Most people arrive with a product name from social media. The doctors we work with start from the concern instead, and sometimes the answer is a different treatment, or none.

HOW WE CHOOSE YOUR CLINIC
We vet the clinics first.
Then we match you to the doctor.
Seoul has hundreds of clinics selling Botox for sweating. We work with a short list that meets five conditions, and introduce you to the one or two doctors who fit your concern, your dates and your budget.
- 01
The consulting doctor is the treating doctor
We ask every clinic who actually holds the needle. A clinic that hands you to someone else after the consultation does not make our list.
- 02
Product, device and dose are named
“Premium booster” is not an answer. We only work with clinics that tell you the brand, the volume and the machine before you sit in the chair.
- 03
A written quote, per unit or per cc
So you can compare two clinics on the same scope rather than two totals that measure different things.
- 04
A doctor willing to say “not this”
We listen for it in consultations we sit in on. A clinic that agrees to everything is selling, not advising.
- 05
Someone to contact after you fly home
A named contact and channel for follow-up questions, agreed before treatment rather than discovered after.
